Suggest Remedy For Pain On Gums

I had tooth #18 removed two months ago and it never stopped hurting and then i started to notice a tiny hole where i could feel jaw bone. My dentist ended up finding out it was infected and needed to be shaved down so i had oral surgery 3 days ago for that but now it is hurting really bad and where the sutures are you can see the gums bunched up on one side and a long line of bone exposed. I don't even know what they can do now

Hi dear ,

As per your query you have pain at the site where tooth has been shaved . The symptoms you mention are pointing towards trauma to the bone and gums . As trimming is very delicate procedure , sometimes trauma occut to bone or gum as a result swelling occur . There can also be a chance of infection . I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene as injury can take few days to heal and do warm saline rinses . Also do betadine rinses . If condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult dentists for proper examination and rule out infection . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
