I have another post here about my previous problems with dry socket following extraction nearly 3wks ago.
I saw an oral surgeon last wk to remove a retained root. She removed what was almost a hole root & trimmed some bone sticking out from the inside gum site where my lower 6/molar was removed.
The extraction site and jaw was very sore until yesterday & swollen. Now however my gum around the incisor tooth in front of the extraction site is very very sore. Today I was looking at it & thought i could see it pulsate so i touched it very lightly & it's started sudden bleeding from the area between it and tooth in front.
Could this be infected? I was already put on amoxycillin for 5 days which I've been taking since Wed. Do i need to call the dentist. Am really really panicking that this is causing an abscess or threatening the nearby teeth & I will end up with another tooth needing pulled....
