Good heavens, that sounds horrendous, Annie.

Are you still with the same dentist or did he scare you into going elsewhere?

I woke up about an hour ago, and feel so much better already. The information they gave ne says I can start using salt water on the extraction site, so I hope I don't accidently dislodge the blood clot that formed. I've heard lots of stories about pain with dry socket's, so i'll be taking extra precautions when cleaning the area.
