I have not called my dentist about the gum problem. It is starting to clear up. I started using the mouthwash I got from my ENT again. It seems to be doing the trick. I will keep an eye on it. I will be out of town this next week. If it is not any better I will try to get in when I get back into town.
No, I have never been diagnosed with periodontal disease. I would not be surprised if that popped up now as i could not brush my teeth for a few days after each surgery. I coudl get one side, but not the side the surgery was on. It just hurt too bad. It is getting better now and the swelling has gone down a lot. Thanks for the input.
Are you a dentist?
