Hi Bryanna,

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Here I would need to have a referral from the dentist to see an oral surgeon. I'm not sure what I would do about this, as my dentist was quite certain there were no problems with the healing and just said they'd check again if I still wasn't happy when I went back in a couple of weeks for the cleaning.

The situation is complicated by the fact that we're currently trying to start a family (with time very much not on my side) and I am concerned as to what would happen should I fall pregnant and this turn out to be a problem down the line. Is it something that might require extensive surgery to fix?

Sorry for yet more questions and thanks again, for your help Bryanna.
