question: Thank you, doctor.  2 parts to my question.  I am 75, with a few bottom teeth in front and two top teeth on each side on top.  I have pain for the last two days in the front of my mouth where the top 4-6 teeth used to be :)  hurts to "chew" there, and the roof of my mouth is tender, too.  With a mirror and a little flashlight I saw that, except for a small red spot near the back of the roof, it was all white. I read the dialog between one of you & the 28-year-old man.  Except for some gluten crust pumpkin pie and some chocolate at a Christmas Day party, and a few sips from a friend's flask of tequila, I have been gluten-free vegetarian for a few weeks and before that gluten-free vegan, probably taking in too much raw honey.  It feels to me like my third set of teeth are coming in.
