Can Painful Gums / Ulcers Be Normal After Complete Lower Jaw Teeth Extraction?

Dear Doctor,

I got extracted all teeth of my lower jaw, a week ago, due to deep infection, as advised by my family dentist. Still I am having pain in the gums & some ulcers. Now my dentist has prescribed Tab. Rebagen to be taken thrice a day for 5 days. Is it right treatment? Will it have any side-effects? Kindly guide.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

After extraction ,pain in the gums may or may not be present .Tab Rebagen is usually prescribed as a long term treatment for the apthous ulcers.You can continue with it as your dentist may have prescribed it to you after a thorough examination.

I would advice you to follow a few instructions:

* Try to avoid spicy and oily food stuff.

* Use some astringent with anaesthetic mouth paste like mucopain gel to apply it locally in the oral cavity at least thrice a day before meals.

* Take vitamin and mineral supplementation.

* Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration of the body.

* Betadine gargles diluted in water at least thrice a day after meals to maintain oral hygiene.

Try these measures for a week and it will help you.

Hope this was beneficial.

Thanks and regards.
