Thanks for your input guys and Dawn I didn't get any stitches, just some kind of a gel pack and I was on my way. I wonder if that is what is called a cavitation clean up, it is called "cortification" on the receipt.

I think he is a dental surgeon too, at least he better be. He did some drilling after the extraction and then put the gel pack in...he is a man of few words, so I never know what he is doing...but he is recommended on the Huggins website, the only one where I live.

Does anyone have a site that explains proper cavitation cleanup? I can't seem to find one.
