Bryanna, Yes quite a start to the day!
Just wondering....what is a PITA? I am still doing warm salt water rinses. I have been rinsing with ACT total care mouthwash the last couple of days too. Is there something else I should be using?

Thanks again for your useful information! After this heals, it's off to the dentist to get a crown repaired. Does it ever end??
