Recurring Problems After Dental Surgery Posted: 02-26-06 22:11pm
On feb 11th, I had a piece of one of my
back teeth fall out. I went straight to
the dentist, who told me that I had an
infection in the roots and would either
require a root canal or extraction. I
could not afford a root canal. So, after
30 minutes of her trying to extract it,
she told me that it would have to be
surgically removed. She went ahead and
surgically removed the tooth, which took
her another hour to do. It was very
traumatizing. I could barely open my
mouth for 4 days. On feb 14th, I
returned to the doctor to have her look at
sharp edges of the bone that were
protruding through my gum. She then cut
the bone down and stitched me back up.
Feb 24th, I returned to the doctor again,
and they drilled the bone down so that it
would go below the surface of my gum. As
well as treating me for an infection. (
I had had an ear ache for 5 days )
anyways.. Today, I have noticed that it
appears that the gum has totally retracted
from covering the bone on the inside of my
jaw (closest to my tongue) and the bone is
now showing from one end to the other and
it is quite high up and sharp. Has
anyone else ever had this happen before?
And if so, how did you finally get it
fixed? Its so annoying and I cannot
stand the pain anymore. If it doesn't
end soon, I am going to loose it as it has
been going on for more than 2 weeks now
and its rediculous. I hope to hear from
someone with any suggestions or info.
Thank you in advance.
