Thanks Bryanna! You really do help me feel better. I just never had many dental procedures so this was very traumatic for me. Yes, this was a simple extraction and I dont have any of the perf symptoms that you suggest. I do have some "soreness" though in teeth in front of the extraction site...this comes and goes and is more of an annoyance than pain. Today, everything seems better.....still a couple of episodes of "pressure" and annoyance but less often than yesterday. I think I need to learn patience!! Thanks for your help and feedback. You really are a wonderful resource and I thank you for your advice.....I truly do! Kris
