He's a prominent wealthy local dentist with glowing reviews. I'm a nobody. I took an nsaid.

I'm worried he's undone over a yrs worth of jaw progress by pushing on it hard. I can tell he was annoyed. I had full confidence that this horrible issue was in good hands, things were going perfectly.

He said the jaw is stable. I went in 48 hrs after the push to say I'm having pain and that I'm not comfortable having pressure on my lower jaw. That i wasnt accusing... i think thats where I ducked up. Now I'm worried I've pissed them off where I'll be cut loose. I want this over and done. I feel like I attempted murder or something.
