Hi helen
strange as this may seem,i had no reason whatsover to worry about it because i wasnt aware there was anything to worry about lol.I had a mouth screen done three weeks ago and though the dentist i saw then commented on the hyperkeratosis she said it was traumatic and caused caused by the chewing food on my gum.

This dentist has said he can see white patches on the gum which need investigating,and as i dont spend all day in front of the mirror looking in my mouth ,i guess i just have to take his word for it.
Yesterday after i had my dry socket stuffed with antibiotics and iodine i did suggest i leave the hospital appointment till i get back,and he was horrified,and when i got home the appointment was sitting on the mat.So thats that,but his reaction yesterday did make me feel a little nervous
great to have you back sweetie

love liz
