I was in for a follow up and the head nurse brought the staff dentist in to look at ulcers on the sides of my tongue. The procedure cleans the bacteria and sort of cauterizes the sore. It really felt much better post treatment and I am looking forward to the follow up laser tomorrow. This validated the soreness in my mouth preventing me from eating. Dentist said no wonder. I will keep you posted.
