Just had all upper teeth pulled with bone grafting done in a 4 hour surgery - preparing for fixed denture.This was four weeks ago and have been fighting infection and pain on right side of my face ever since.  Started on antibiotic immediately and see the dental surgeon weekly.  He is saying its possible sinus infection but I know that is not it .  Twice he has numbed areas and cleaned out areas and stitched it back up.  Is this normal?  Should I see my physician and ask for blood work or scan , please advise
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, It is normal to have swelling and pain after surgery for a week and this subsides slowly. If the symptoms persists for long get an x-ray done by the concerned Dentist. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take care!
