Thanks for the tip, MajTom! I probably should go and get a second opinion like you suggest... A buddy of mine is a dentist, but moved his practice half-way across the country before I could see him "professionally." He was a fairly recent grad (mid-90s), and he was taught that unless they're they're bothering the patient, don't touch 'em.

On the other hand, he still occasionally opened beer bottles with his teeth, so maybe his opinion wasn't worth all that much.

I hope the recovery is going well FunkedUp!

Cheers,
phaetn

The big question is....are you still able to swallow?

Yeah that'll do for his bellybutton but what about his mouth?

Thanks for all the helpful and lewd comments fellas. I want to LOL but I'm too sore. No dry socket though. I have heard somebody describe what that feels like so I am avoiding it like the plague.

PS I can still swallow but you will be disappointed to know that I can't open my jaw very far.

PPS Fatty you are correct. I had not gone to a dentist for 6 years. I have had no problems at all, no pain, no cavities. He suggests that I switch to a sonic toothbrush. I switch brushes, then when I go back I have this cavity and now my mouth looks like an artillery free-fire zone. I blame him.
