A member asked:
I recently had a tooth extraction, and the specialist damaged my sinus lining, im very worried that its permanent. what do i do?

Relax: These issues do occur from time to time with maxillary extractions, and the body is very good at healing most wounds. The specialist knows what needs to be done, if anything, to help the situation. Please allow them to take care of you and follow their directions.
