Well one problem with using two facilities to get my dental woes resolved is that I have not been given a clear view of what to expect when. At my TMC oral surgery appointment last Monday to get antibiotics for a minor infection that was setting in I alerted them that they had not removed all of the lingual tori (boney growth) on the left. It was below the area swollen by the infection. They told me that they would attend to it after the infection was gone. By Friday I had finish my course of cleocin and all of the swelling had gone. The same day TMC called to confirm my appointment for this morning. I had been told this appointment would be cancelled and so I explained to them the situation with the tori and they said I should keep it. I did.
The dentist tells me that I need to heal enough to begin fitting for dentures and then that dentist needs to give a referral with specifications down to the millimeter of what still needs to be removed before TMC can do more. This second surgery will require an additional month or so of healing.
A bit of a disappointment, forward progress still...
