Hi
Just recently I had to visit my dentist as I was feeling pain in an old extraction site back molar (extracted 4 years ago), I have an implant (2years ago) which is right next to the site. I had noticed a small area dead center in the extraction site had opened up and what looked like bone was showing and was causing a dull ache. I went to the dentist and he x rayed it and showed me a vertical shard of tooth that was just breaking the gum. He then injected me with pain killers and removed it with a small cut and a fine funneled instrument. Now this was bothering me before with an aching stabbing feeling however I am still in pain three days later. He told me he got it out and didn't do another x ray. Is it just something that takes time to heal as it was not sutured as it's still really bugging me. I could go back to see this guy but I've lost faith in him somewhat. It tends to ache more after I eat or drink hot or cold drinks. Any advise would be cool. Thanks.
