More dental work

I have developed something called torus mandibularis. There’s a nice picture here. It’s usually innocuous, but occasionally the bone behind it breaks through the tissue and needs to be removed. That’s what was done to my mouth today. The anesthetic is wearing off, and I’m not a happy camper.

  1. Juli, I’ll bet he injected me seven or eight times before and during the process. When the stuff wore off this afternoon it hurt like the devil, so I took one of the painkillers and that’s cleared it for the past five hours. We’ll see later tonight.
