Hello - this is my first post, but I've been lurking for about a week in a half now. My husband just had the biopsy Monday, and we're waiting for results. During the biopsy they removed a VERY large amount of tissue (and infection) and scraped the bone (there was a lot of bone loss showing on the X-Ray and he's had a very persistent infection for quite some time now...

Anyway - today the tissue is VERY gray and looks very strange. We tried to call the Oral Surgeon, but he doesn't have an answering service - it just says to go to the ER if it's an emergency. Does this warrant a trip to the ER?

Thanks in advance,

Philly
