After they removed it and took a small piece of my jaw with it, I ended up with an infection. I had to be on antibiotics for a couple of weeks. My tongue still hurts so I told my regular dr about it. He prescribed something In case I had a yeast infection, 5 x a day for two weeks. That did not help.
Now my tongue looks “mapped”. Makes me not want to go back to a dentist ever again.
Yes, the aftermath can be nasty...especially when there is “bone work” on the jaw. Hope you don’t get a dry socket.
