Hi everyone,

Thanks for the warm welcome!! Jerry, thanks for the e-mail and there will be some questions I'm sure.

Dragan, I'm in Bedford, Nova Scotia (eh), back at ya Kevin, hehe.

August sorry to hear about your misadventure with your dentist. I hope and pray you are doing well. I have to say it erks me to hear about my colleagues who do not recognize when things are not right. Trauma heals within 10-14 days after the source of the trauma is removed. Infection heals within 10-14 days (occasionally a little longer)after the source of the infection is removed with or without antibiotics. Anything left after 14 days should be referred to and appropriate ENT, Oral Surgeon, Oral Medicine specialist or at the minimum excisionally biopsied. This has been written in almost every Oral Diagnosis Text used by every Dental Student. I make that comment because my father and grandfather are both Dentists and I have used their text books for reference over the years. My grand father's Guide to Oral Diagnosis has been well used for over sixty years by the three of us and the second chapter basically affirms this.

August don't loose faith in Dentists but you may want to discuss your feelings about your plight with him/her and if your are still concerned the maybe it's time to find someone new.
I pray for your health and happiness.

Donnarose, Pandora99, Amy, Steve J, thanks it is my pleasure to be welcomed by you all eh-->( for Kevin once again)
