I just had a bone graph done 24 days ago and up until about 2 weeks ago i had drainage that was the worst thing i have ever tasted and it started right after my post op about a week after the surgery (i felt and i was told everything was healing wonderful at the post op). i would get the taste when i would drink, eat, or apply any pressure near the area whether i bumped it or just even stretched the skin from yawning or moving my mouth a certain way. i talked to my doctor when they were taking the stitches out and he said a little bad tasting drainage is completely normal. finally i had that load off my back. but now i'm worried cause i think i have a gum infection (i dont know if that taste was a symptom of the infection) i believe with thrush on my tongue and some type of bump with liquid in it on my gums. if anyone can tell me wat might be wrong that'd be great i think my bone graph is failing which my doctor said may happen if i dont stop smoking cigs for 3 weeks after. i was told its crucial to stop and i honestly havent even made an attempt to so i dont know if thats the problem or wat? someone please help
My daughter and boyfriend experienced "dry sockets" after having dental surgery. Both experienced high levels of pain that they have not forgotten! I suggest you call you dentist's emergency number to avoid 2-3 days of excrutiating pain!
