Hello,
On February 14th of this year i had 4 teeth extracted..Three wisdom teeth ,( one upper left, one upper right, two bottom right.).They have all healed nicely except the one on top..It started throbbing yesterday so I went to the oral surgeon who looked at it..It has the hole where the tooth was but then it extends almost over the top of the adjoining tooth...Well the oral surgeon checked for a sinus communication and there isnt one..He cleaned it out(some food in there) and gave me Clyndamycin(I just finished penicillin vk today)Said it was healing but to clean it better , use my chlorhexadine rinse, and take my antibiotic...So i come home and now sometimes when I take a breath I get sharp pains the extraction site.....I don't know if it is the extraction site that hurts or the tooth since some of the root is exposed since there is no gum around it..The dentist said it would close up in 2-3 weeks..But I'm worried..It hasn't healed yet and I still have to worry about food getting in it and it has been 26 days since they were extracted...and when I use my syringe to clean it out it hurts..Should i have my regular dentist look at it and see if it the tooth or the gums? How long do you think I have to worry about food in the hole?
