Hi Dawn. Hope that you feel better. I felt bad for about a month after having my tooth extracted and the socket cleaned, but I think it has helped in the long term with getting a period. Austin doesn't invent problems, though, at least in my experience. I've seen him several times and he only points out things I know that are wrong. I'm feeling really sore after having a filling done, my lips, tongue and gums have ulcers. I can hardly talk and having difficulty eating. I'm taking mouthwash, bonjela every 4 hours and just taking it easy because my energy levels are low from little food. I'm having to use a straw to drink. Dental work is no fun!
