Hi I went through a root canal procedure, It started january This year and then with four procedures i sometimes forgot to go back to the dentist the last june 6 I got this very painful attack from te tooth and that there sems to be a very hard part showing in my lower jaw. It started to be very painful so I was given antibiotic and that the tooth was extracted after two weeks of antbiotics the swollen part is not completely gone but I cannot any feel pain up until now there is still a hard part and but it is slowly going away I wonder what this is. I am afrdaid of surgery so what is the best thing to do?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The swelling will reduce gradually, if it persists or increases please get it checked by the dentist.Meanwhile, you can continue doing salt water gargling and gently massage the external surface. If pain you can take paracetamol. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
