Hope you recover soon. Should be much longer before it's healed.

I *finally* had a back tooth pulled almost two weeks ago after three
years of trouble with it. I'd had two X-rays done and a number of
visits to the doc and dentists over that tooth and they couldn't find
anything wrong with it. They put it down to me grinding my teeth
<rolls eyes>. Well, three weeks ago it finally split down the middle
and came loose - it had a fine crack the whole time and that of course
gave me many infections over the years.

I thought I was going to get the dreaded dry socket because they day
after extraction I felt the clot come loose when eating, but nope. All
good.

Anyway, get well.
