I have an appointment with him in three hours. But I am freaking out!! I had to be put under for general anesthesia because my anxiety is so bad!!!! I have been on amoxicillin since the surgery so I don't understand how it could have gotten infected!?!
The oral surgeon said I was healing well, and that it is normal to be swollen, but that every person's mouth is different. You'll notice that in the photo at the bottom left and bottom right (which is my top back right tooth and top back left tooth that both also got extracted and bone grafted) there is basically no swelling and there never has been very much swelling in either of those two places. The time it takes to heal certain areas is really depending on how much work you have done, how bad it was, and where it was. My mouth did NOT like having this one tooth not come out so I think it got really swollen around that one that stayed. That being said, I've seen my oral surgeon for post-op check ups 4 times and haven't been told things are bad yet. The only time I was concerned, it cleared itself up.Is this normal to be swollen 25 days after? I am having three teeth extracted and bone grafted next week and this is kind of freaking me out. They said I would be fine to go to work in 2 days.
