Hi
Ive been lurking in this forum for some time. I finally worked up the courage to go to the dentist last year after 7 years of avoiding it, while my teeth decayed, broke, fell out and absessed. I never used to be phobic, but s couple of bad experiences just put me off for years. Reading some of the experiences on here reassured me, and I decided I had to do something about it. My front teeth were starting to fail, I couldn't smile any more, I just had to do something.
So anyway, several months later, thurs under GA I had the top completely cleared out, all the broken roots, one un erupted wisdom and the front teeth all pulled. The bottom I had four molars and one wisdom pulled.
All seemed pretty good to start with, but fri afternoon I started to develop an infection in the lower sockets. Yellow pus, etc. my glands and cheeks are throbbing and swollen. I've taken the lower denture out which helped a bit, rinsing with mouthwash and I was already on ABs but it doesn't seem to be getting any better
Should I put the lower denture back in? Or leave it out?
Thanks to anyone who has read this far!
