question about wisdom tooth extraction... PLEASE HELP!
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 5:34 am
Hi there ok...
well I had my extraction on the 5th of this month. Now the past 2/3 days there's been on and off pain.
Sometime it's severe and sometimes it's just you know there...
but my concern is I notice there are people who had extraction and had stitches but for some reason my dentist didn't stitch up my hole.
Do you usually need it to be stitched up?
also the past few days I did see some white thingy in the hole now I Don't see it at all but just red like there's blood in there , when I look into it there's a hole that you could see in to. I don't know if I'm explaining it right.
I've been having these severe pain, I'm soo worried I'm having what is called a dry socket.
The pain isn't just one place it's gone to the next tooth to it as well.
When I close my mouth so both top and bottom touches eachother , it hurts also,liek a toothache pain.
Please someone tell me ... what do you all think.?? also was my dentist suppose to stitch up the hole? How could I tell if it's healing? and how long is the pain suppose to last ? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!! I"m SOOO WORRIED.
I've been trying to call up my dentist but just my luck he's not working till wednesday... *sigh*
