Hi Sue, The dentist had no idea what's going on and didn't suggest a referral either. I had fewer cavities then I thought...only 6 and one needs a crown. He also suggested a tongue scraper (good Lord). The good news is that my bone is fine. As I mentioned, "this" also effected my eyes. I saw a different eye doctor yesterday and he said the swelling is coming from the back of my eye and feels it is a systemic issue. Surely the two are related as both happened together.
