procedure I had an infection. Going back to the periodontist, he said
that it was an infection in the flap which hadn't completely healed.
Also I had told him that while blowing a baloon that air was escaping

As promised (to Clinton Z...not Bill Clinton) I have been reading Dr.
Kulacz's book.
I am not finding any thing I would say is untrue, except for the continual

Howdy all people and animals and dentists.
Just a quick blurb here to tell youse that I finished typing in my

Called my Delta PMI dentist today to make appointments for free
cleanings for my wife and I, to get them done before our insurance

Five days ago I had crown lengthening on the very back lower molar
(#32, I think). The dentist who performed the procedure said some

I have recently noticed (about 4 days ago) a blister-y feeling think on
the roof of my mouth. It is definitely raised because I can feel it
with my tounge. I can't really tell if it has become larger or smaller,
