Yes go and get it checked out. Ron yesterday had the doc actually scrape his dead bone(i cringe everytime i think bout this nothing usually bothers me either)right in the office...owwweee, with no meds either, Ron showed me 2 toothpicks put together is how much dead bone he scraped, my God don't that hurt? Ron said it didn't tickle but it didn't bother him either...I won't look either but isn't there his skin from his gums or is that open? I can't look...doc said he wanted Ron to go to Oral doc but Ron said not now so Dr said he will see how it goes and in 3 months do it again if needed guess not doing HBO no mention. So does this mean it's not that bad?
