The dental trauma is slowly coming to a close. Bleeding has stopped on one side, mostly on the other. Oddly, the guy who told me not to sleep with the denture in place is telling me that I should -- but not, as I suggested, to sleep with the gauze in place. Said having the denture there overnight would 'allow the clot to form'. I thought didn't the gauze do that? but my wife thinks maybe he was worried I'd swallow it during the night - and then, you know, I'd wake up and my pillow would be gone!
One thing I'll bet my life on: he's trying to compensate for the failures of my primary dentist. Today's services - the nurse, the anesthesiologist, him - were essentially free.
