One of the few things I get squeamish about is wounds like that are inside a mouth, all I can think of is how bad it must taste

I don't get why they don't stitch it up with dissolvable stitches or something?
And damn I had some saliva duct stones and they hurt! When I saw how small they were I felt like a wuss tho haha! Good to hear you won't have to worry about any more stones back there lol
I don't believe stitches are needed because the wounds are cauterized? Just a guess!
