Gum Pain

[MemaBlueEyes]

I had a lower left rear tooth removed that had a bridge attached. Since the tooth was extracted and sawed off from the opposite tooth I believe I had dry socket.The hole from the extraction is slowly closing but the pain in my gum on the side and under my tongue area has not decreased. It feels like blisters or open cuts in that area. I have seen my dentist and had the tooth packed 3 times and also repacked it at home with clove oil and also used an anesthetic gel for the outside gum. I am on my second prescription of antibiotics. My dentist is telling me he will not pack my tooth any more and has also looked at the gum. I believe their is something wrong with the gum. I should not have the same amount of pain for two weeks in the gum. Could the pain be caused from something else besides the dry socket. The gums don't seem to be healing and the amount of pain in the gums has not decreased. Help. Thanks

Your post-op condition is unusual. Seeing an oral surgeon is advised.
