I had tooth #18 removed two months ago and it never stopped hurting and then i started to notice a tiny hole where i could feel jaw bone. My dentist ended up finding out it was infected and needed to be shaved down so i had oral surgery 3 days ago for that but now it is hurting really bad and where the sutures are you can see the gums bunched up on one side and a long line of bone exposed. I dont even know what they can do now
Hi dear, As per your query you have pain at the site where tooth has been shaved . The symptoms you mention are pointing towards trauma to the bone and gums. As trimming is very delicate procedure, sometimes trauma occur to bone or gum as a result swelling occur. There can also be a chance of infection. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene as injury can take few days to heal and do warm saline rinses. Also do Betadine rinses. If condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult dentists for proper examination and rule out infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
