Just got back from the oral surgeon, going to go lay down with 1/2 a pain pill. Hoping to do all I can to avoid dry socket and be on the mend fast. wondering how long I should be putting pressure on the gauze and how long I will need to use it.

Wasn't too bad but wasn't too fun either. the surgeon didn't need to use the collagen so he thought the sinus looked unaffected by the extraction. He is an experienced surgeon with a good rep in this area.

He gave me some more antibiotics and some pain pills.

Hope all is well with you folks. Terry
