I had a difficult back molar extraction from the top. It got infected and required antibiotics. Nearly two weeks after, it is still very tender and sore. The wound is large and goes right up to the top of my gum. Do I need to see a specialist or is there anything I can do to help this heal? I gather the larger the wound, the more bone loss? :cry:
 
Hi Sweetpea,
I never cease to be amazed at the bodies capacity to heal itself given time. It should be just fine very soon.
