Posted this earlier in pregnancy by mistake. I'm not pregnant.
On Thursday I saw a dental hygienist yesterday. I hadn't been for about a year and she did a lot of scrapping around. At the polishing stage, she missed my teeth and hit the floor of my mouth and caused a hole. In the afternoon afterwards, the area under my tongue was badly swollen up and it hurt to open my mouth and to eat. Had to take pain killers to eat supper. The day after, the whole area under my tongue looked like there's been significant bleeding under the surface (it was basically black!) and was still a bit swollen. Three days on there is still very noticeable bruising in my mouth and the whole has developed into a mouth ulcer. That's not usual, right? Not sure I"m every going to the hygienist again if it is... If it isn't usual, do you think it's worth telling the practice or will they think I'm just a massive whimp?
