Did yt pain go away and when? What helped? Im six weeks ang my gum is killing me going back to oral surgeon thursday
No I am not a smoker and yes I have been keeping my mouth extremely clean and rinsing with warm salt water. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help and glad to hear you are all right now. I have heard of the treatment that you mentioned and I don't know the name either but for whatever reason my dentis chose not to do that. I have also been on antibiotics. I guess it is just a matter of time but this surely does get old.
hi there we have the same problem but my dentist have given me a different treatment..i also had a tooth extraction last June 25 after 5 days of excruciating pain i went to my dentist last June 30 wherein she told me that I have a dry socket...my dentist had cleansed the infected area and told me that she has done something to the infected area that could cause me pain for 24 hours..i am sorry but i forgot the term that she used..anyway she told me that she has done it to promote bleeding of my gums and to promote proper healing...she also explained to me that i need to avoid rinsing my mouth specially the infected area for 2 days as it would irritate it more..she also prescribed clindamycin/dalacin c capsule as antibiotic and medicine for pain. After two days I noticed a big improvement in my gum area...and this was confirmed by my dentist after another check-up. She told me to avoid smoking and over-rinsing of my mouth as it irritates the gum. I only suffered for two weeks...Thank God! and now I feel good as new...I dont even have to take the prescribed medicine for pain anymore...i hope that my experience could help you in some way...
are you rinsing with warm salt water? are you a smoker? do you keep your mouth extemely clean? those are things to look at. smoking , well it will make it difficult to heal. other than that i dont know what to tell you, id hope after a month it would be healed past pain.
