Thanks, Christine! As of now, no further treatment is warranted. My doctor is conservative and I will be having follow up visits every six weeks to monitor. It's 6 hours round trip to see him but well worth it. He is an MD who is also an oral surgeon - I feel very fortunate!

Does anyone know if there is spell check on here? I'm ashamed to admit I have become dependent on it!
