Oh no, I'm terrified it's a bone infection now. I can't see what else it could be. I didn't smoke while it was healing but I did use nicotine patches and maybe they're as bad. I had a vodka and coke when we were out for dinner for my granny's birthday, which was only two weeks after the extraction. I wish I'd known alcohol should be avoided.

My doctor said the indigestion was caused by the stomach ulcer. It was treated then and I haven't had any problems for years. I can't see any white on my tongue. It looks pink and when I look really closely, there are tiny pink dots on it. I'm not sure if that's normal. I do tongue scraping and there doesn't seem to be any odour from it.

I'll ask my dentist to X-ray it again but if it's too early and isn't obvious, is there anything else I can do? Is there any type of specialist I should see? It's really scary to think of a bone infection. I'm imagining thay'll have to cut out lots of bone which is terrifying.
