Oral Surgery

Monday I had a surgical extraction of a root canal. I was in the chair for an hour and a half and was fitted with a partial/retainer. I had to have a bone graft because in about 4 months I will be getting a dental implant. I have to wear the retainer to keep my teeth from shifting. I try to wear it as much as possible but my mouth is still swollen and sore so after a while it gags me. The pain isn't so bad as long as I can take a Vicodin but since I had to work last night that wasn't an option so now I am really sore. I know with time it will get better at least I hope.
