I am so glad the proceedure is over for you. I hope you are resting comfortably at home, and that you feel better. I know you were too in pain to contact your origional dentist, but I sure would folllow up and maybe report him. Brayannas comments about it sums it up pretty well. He didn't do right by you and should pay for your surgery to fix what he failed to do right to begin with. I listen to alot of posts and I feel bad when we put our health into the hands of those who do not perform well. We don't know who the bad ones are until something goes wrong and we question it. My first neuro surgeon didn't do right by me eithor, so I know that frustrating feeling. That doctor was responsible for the reason why I had my second fusion. I hope that this never happens to eithor of us again. Please be good to yourself, and lay low. enjoy your downtime, and I know your healing will do just fine. ginnie
