I need to get back to the dentist. I am just so afraid of them putting that stuff in my mouth to do the molds for the nightguard....I just dont want anything near that extraction site. I am so paranoid of that thing getting infected or hurting more. The dentist said I had a small cavity in that molar in front of the extraction site and I need to take care of that too -- one of these days but I am really afraid of it "disturbing" that area. I have had too much dental stress but need to get back in there and get these things done. My husband had surgery this week so we are dealing with that but that is no excuse...I need to get back to the dentist. Thanks for your advice Bryanna! You help so many and are so appreciated!
