Hi Bryanna,

Three weeks ago, I had RC tooth #14 extracted and bone grafted due to an abscess eating in the bone, visible on xray. Then, I had to extract #19, which showed nothing on Xray. But after OS extracted it, she saw a deep vertical crack.

So in span of 3 weeks, had to extract 2 RC teeth!

- How long does it take for healing to happen? It's been 4 days and my face is swollen from #19. Is there a difference between hard and soft swelling in the face?

- Also, when I touch my tongue to roof of my mouth, I can the underside of my tongue has these very dark purple, red spots/area. What can those be?

-I am thinking of getting an implant, how long can I wait? OS thinks a year for the top. What if I don't get an implant within a year due to cost? Both #14 and #19 are on top of each other.

Thanks so much! This sight is so useful!
