Bryanna,
Once final concern: When I eat -- something as simple as a banana and it gets over to the extraction site, it bothers me. It is better after the salt water rinse but can this be a sign of infection or is this simply just raw skin that needs to "toughen" up in that hole OR until that hole closes up? I am so scared of an infection that this is consuming me! It has been 4 weeks today and IS getting much better....not sore all the time -- maybe once/twice a day.
Thanks~

Kris
