He told me the dry socket was my fault because i am a smoker ( and no i hadn't has a smoke since 2 days before the extraction) he packed me with that past again and set a standing appointment for me to have it packed once a week. i'm still in a great amounts of pain even with the packing ( it keeps the pain away for 2 days then just makes me feel like i want to through up). Now i'm starting to feel the same pain in my upper left socket, and will have to seek help for that as well. I have not been given any kind of pain medication (Motrin,Tylenol and Advil give me no relief) What do i do now, how do i get rid of this horrible pain that makes even opening my jaw to talk burn like acid is being poured into my ear down my jaw and around to the front of my mouth????? Please help me i don't know what to do!

Went back today and got it packed with this stuff that looked like chewing tobacco. It tastes awful but helped almost immediately and hours later I'm in no pain. What a relief!!!

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:53:39 +0000 http://askthedentist.com/wordpress/?p=975#comment-915 Dear Dr. I had a bottom wisdom tooth removed 1 week ago Mon., the Dr. had me come back in a week and they removed the sutures. But he did not remove the gel pack and other stuff? he said he packed the hole with. Is this material okay to be left in? I can not call their office as they are closed on Fri. thru Mon. and I had noticed a couple of times this (material?) in very small quantities coming out. I am wondering what I can expect, and will it all eventually come out or disentegrate or what if anything I should do about it. Unfortunately I did not think to ask them at the office this past Monday. Sincerely, Cathy Dear Dr.

Still have clear discharge from extraction site. Jaw has small lump under extraction site. Extracted tooth was infected for 10 days prior to extraction, thought once removed the discharge would clear up and infection would go away. DR, told me to wait another 6 days and see if it clears up on its own. I think I may have a bone infection. Should I go back on Antibiotics? Just came off Cliyndamycin this past Saturday, 150 mg 4 times a day. should I go back an AB, if so which would you recommend. Do you think I may need to scrap the jaw bone again to remove any infection? Had #19 molar extracted one week ago. Still have clear discharge from extraction site.

I'm a 4th yr. dental student with questions. When doing endo, would it be just as effective to use a sequence of.. 1- gates glidden reaming 2- sodium hypochlorite 3- EZ fill root canal sealer and.. that's it... without K files, gutta percha, calcium hydroxide and without Gregorian Chanting ! Eagerly awaiting your response.. EB Hi Doctor …
