Sometimes after tooth extraction, after about 1-3 days, inflammation and suppuration of the hole (alveolitis) begins - a rather dangerous complication, which is accompanied by a number of unpleasant symptoms. Alveolitis can occur after the extraction of any tooth, disrupting the normal healing process of the hole and often creating a serious threat to human health in general.
If after removing the tooth in time not to treat the hole affected by the alveolitis, then there are risks of serious complications. For example, with the further development of a purulent-necrotic process, limited osteomyelitis may form in the wound, which creates the prerequisites for the development of life-threatening abscesses and phlegmon of the jaw. The rapid spread of infection into the deep spaces of the lower jaw can cause blood poisoning (sepsis), in which a person sometimes dies in a matter of days.
The following photo shows an example of odontogenic phlegmon:
That is why it is so important to recognize the problem in time. If after you pulled out a tooth, the hole is rotten for some reason, then you should not wait until everything resolves by itself - you need to use all possible means to stop this complication.
And then we will consider in detail the main causes of tooth hole inflammation, which home remedies can be used to treat alveolitis, and in which cases the help of a dentist is mandatory in solving a problem.
It is interesting
According to statistics, alveolitis most often develops after removal of the molars of the lower jaw (molars), including wisdom teeth. The fact is that the structure of the lower jaw, in comparison with the upper, has a number of important features that create inconvenience to the work of the dentist-surgeon: it is more difficult to extract complex roots (for example, curved) from the "thick" bone and, moreover, the infection quickly goes into deep spaces with the development of purulent inflammation.
Therefore, objectively, there is a greater chance that alveolitis will occur after the removal of large molars of the lower jaw. In this regard, wisdom teeth are especially problematic.
How does the hole look normal after tooth extraction
After tooth extraction, bleeding from the hole usually occurs immediately (but sometimes adrenaline from the anesthetic narrows the vessels so much that the hole is almost “dry” at first and the bleeding develops only later when the patient is already at home). Normally, blood stops within 3-30 minutes, forming a blood clot in the hole, which protects the wound from adverse external influences.
The photo below shows how the hole looks right after removing the wisdom tooth, previously hidden under the gum:
The blood clot that formed after tooth extraction changes in a couple of days from burgundy to lighter with a yellowish tinge. The color in this case is determined by natural physiological processes: the red component from red blood cells (hemoglobin) is gradually washed out by the fluid from the oral cavity, but the so-called fibrin skeleton is preserved, which serves as the structural basis of the thrombus, which prevents bleeding from the hole of the extracted tooth.
If tissue healing goes smoothly, then a normal well should look something like 1-2 in 1-2 days:
Despite the characteristic color, you should not confuse a normal blood clot with pus and fear that a change in color from burgundy to lighter is already a sign of alveolitis. Moreover, you do not need to climb into the wound, as this can seriously damage the normal healing of the hole.
The process of normal healing (overgrowing) of the hole after tooth extraction should be painless.The wound heals on the principle of secondary tension, in other words - there is a gradual approximation of its edges. The main healing factor is the proliferation of granulation tissue, which is soon replaced by young bone tissue.
The photo shows what the hole looks like after tooth extraction after 3 weeks:
If the process is not complicated by alveolitis, then usually about 7 days after tooth extraction, the granulation tissue almost completely replaces the blood clot, and a young bone is actively formed. How long the hole will overgrow after tooth extraction, so that a smooth gum forms completely, depends on the nature of the intervention. The coarser the removal and the more damaged surrounding tissues, the longer the wound will heal.
According to statistics, normal healing should end in 2-3 weeks, but this does not mean that nothing happens in the hole. The complete formation of bone tissue under the gum usually ends only after 2-3 months, and then from the former hole, in which the patient was previously, there is no trace left.

The main causes of inflammation of the hole and gums
Let's imagine a bad tooth, on the roots of which there are foci of inflammation. Such foci are usually isolated by the body into the so-called granulomas (cysts) - in simple terms, these are sacs filled with infection and pus.
When the tooth is removed, the bacteria partly remain in the hole - in this case, they speak of the primary infection of the wound. Even if the dental surgeon has extracted all the roots of the tooth with or without granulomas (cysts), the infection that caused inflammation in the tissues surrounding the root cannot be completely eliminated, although it can and must be controlled. Whether it provokes alveolitis, depends, inter alia, on human immunity.
There are also risks of secondary infection of the wound, that is, when the infection enters from the outside, which can also lead to alveolitis.
For example, alveolitis after tooth extraction can develop in the following cases:
- In the absence of a normal blood clot in the well. When the effect of a dry hole occurs immediately or after tooth extraction, the result is an empty, not filled with a protective blood clot wound, open to any infections from the oral cavity.
- When pushing during the tooth extraction procedure deep into the hole of infected objects: tartar, carious tooth walls, bone fragments, etc.
- With poor care of the hole by the patient himself. Moreover, the development of alveolitis can be triggered not only by the refusal to follow the doctor’s recommendations, but also by the unauthorized use of methods that are not acceptable in this clinical situation (for example, intensive rinsing of the mouth, leading to the washing out of the protective blood clot from the hole).
Against the background of reduced immunity, a number of concomitant diseases, and in the elderly, the risks of developing alveolitis of the socket even with simple tooth extraction are increased.
Symptoms of Alveolitis
So, after a tooth is pulled out, the hole, especially if it is dry (without a blood clot), can already fester 2 days after the procedure. In this case, at first there is no acute pain, but only a slight aching pain appears, intensifying with food.
In this case, the remains of food and saliva are often determined in the hole. The edges of the gums at the site of the extracted tooth are red, when you touch them there is pain. The general condition of the person is satisfactory, there is no temperature.
With the further spread of purulent infection, more characteristic symptoms of alveolitis develop:
- severe constant pain at the site of the extracted tooth;
- the spread (irradiation) of pain to neighboring areas - from the maxillofacial zone to the head area;
- an increase in body temperature to relatively high values (up to 38) and the appearance of chills associated with it, a sensation of aches in the body and a deterioration in overall well-being;
- the appearance of putrid halitosis as a result of suppuration of the hole;
- the absence of a blood clot in the wound (dry hole);
- the presence of a dirty gray coating on the surface of the healing gum (sometimes a black hole is observed);
- enlarged submandibular lymph nodes;
- one of the important and characteristic signs of suppuration of the socket in place of the extracted tooth is the appearance of purulent exudate from the wound, especially when pressing the gum.

“On Wednesday, I went to remove the lower molar, because one stump remained from it, which was no longer suitable for the crown. Removal was quick and without almost pain, they appointed him to rinse his mouth and sent him for treatment at home.
On Thursday, in the place where the tooth used to be, severe pain began and the gums swelled. Another terrible halitosis appeared. As a result, I came to the doctor who pulled my tooth the day before. She looked and advised me to “fasten” and apply an ice warmer to my swollen cheek. After a couple of days, the swelling subsided, but the gums did not ache less. I drank several times a day Nurofen. But the pain didn’t stop, so I went back to that aunt.
They took a picture of me and said that everything is fine, but there are sharp bones from the place where my tooth used to be. So they decided to remove them. It was very painful when I again poked around in the gums and removed these "bones", then put gauze, forced to bite and sent home.
After a couple of hours, hellish throbbing pains began, so I decided to go to a nearby private clinic, where they explained everything to me. It turns out that the tooth was removed badly for me, there were a lot of pieces from the destroyed tooth and bones from the jaw, so that all this mixed with the infection and gave pus. They cleaned all this with an injection, absolutely without pain, put a gauze napkin with ointment on top and made recommendations. “That day I felt better, so I went to the doctor who removed the tooth with me, not even with my foot.”

What can be done at home for emergency treatment of a festering hole
If, after tooth extraction, the hole begins to fester or the other symptoms of the alveolitis described above appear, and it is not possible to get to the doctor for a consultation in the near future, then you can try to ease the condition yourself at home.
However, it is important to keep in mind that far from all seemingly effective methods are harmless. Some lotions and rinses only exacerbate the situation, creating the prerequisites for an even greater progression of inflammation.
So, for example, most caring friends can advise you on a soda solution and 3% hydrogen peroxide for rinsing - it would seem, time-tested folk remedies for relieving inflammation. But most doctors are clearly against such a mockery of the body, because soda and peroxide, despite their antiseptic effect, can also wash out a protective blood clot, leaving the empty black hole further defenseless before infection.
Relatively safe and effective remedies for the treatment of alveolitis can be natural antiseptics - for example, decoctions of chamomile and sage, which are quite suitable for use at home. But here there are important nuances:
- rinse your mouth intensively so as not to wash the blood clot. It is enough to simply draw water into the mouth and hold the solution in a sore spot for 2-3 minutes.
- During the procedure, you can not suck out the remnants of a decaying blood clot from the wound, even if it smells bad and looks black. And even more so it is impossible to pick out a clot with a toothpick or cotton swab.
- It is important to arrange such antiseptic rinses as often as possible (10-12 times per hour, until a clear improvement occurs).
After a preliminary consultation with a doctor (at least by phone), you can use analgesics like Pentalgin, Ketorol, Ketanov, Nise, Baralgin or others.However, it must be understood that these drugs only relieve pain, but do not treat alveolitis and the associated inflammatory processes.
Now let's assume that you still managed to stop the symptoms of alveolitis on your own - the acute pain disappeared, the suppuration of the hole seemed to decrease, the swelling of the gums and cheeks subsided. What to do next?
First of all, do not deceive yourself much and relax, hoping that the hole will no longer fester. Often in such cases, the process only translates from acute to chronic. Therefore, as soon as it becomes possible to get an appointment with a dentist, this must be done in order to prevent the occurrence of further exacerbations.
Professional treatment of alveolitis: what can you expect in the dentist's office
When patients consult a dentist-surgeon about inflammation of the hole after the tooth extraction procedure, the doctor usually sees the following picture in the oral cavity: the blood clot in the hole is either completely absent or there are decaying residues; with pressure on the gum, pus with an unpleasant odor may be released. This is usually enough to diagnose "alveolitis" and proceed with its immediate treatment.
Treatment of alveolitis after tooth extraction consists of several stages:
- First, good anesthesia is given;
- Curettage (cleaning) of the hole of the extracted tooth is performed - it is scraped with thorough mechanical treatment from necrotic tissues while washing the wound with solutions of antiseptics from food debris, saliva, decayed clot, etc .;
- Then, the hole is refreshed with a scalpel;
- According to the testimony, seams are superimposed on the hole, a gauze napkin is installed with or without the drug;
- Recommendations for wound care are given and antiseptic rinses and medications for topical application in the form of gels or ointments are prescribed.
Placing any drugs in the hole itself is an outdated method, but for budgetary institutions it is currently one of the most effective in the treatment of alveolitis, although it is not without certain drawbacks.
The following drugs can be used as antiseptics for further home treatment of alveolitis (as agreed with the doctor):
- Corsodyl;
- Hexicon;
- Stomatidine;
- Chlorhexidine;
- Eludryl.
For application to the gums, the Metrogil Denta gel and the Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste are sometimes used.

I was pulled out the rest of the tooth 6 days ago. At first, injections were made throughout the gum, and then for a long time they could not pick up the root with forceps, since it constantly crumbled. But, thank God, pulled out.
Already at home, when the freeze passed, it became so terribly painful that I had to swallow painkillers. Literally a day later it seemed that a smell appeared from the mouth, and the hole began to hurt even more. I had not to go to work, I decided to be treated at home with rinses with chamomile. At first it became easier, but towards the evening the gums began to pulsate, and the body began to break. And the temperature is 37.8 ° C. For two days I lay down, but the temperature and pain in the gums, where the tooth used to be, did not pass. Terribly did not want to go back to the gear, but there was no where to go, the more it seemed that her cheek began to swell. I was just afraid that I would die ahead of time, so I went for an examination.
The doctor said that I have alveolitis, but a little more and it would have become much worse. She cleaned the wound from pus and prescribed medications to treat the gums. At the moment, the gum has not yet completely healed, but the temperature and pain are gone, and the swelling is getting smaller every day. So if you want to take care of your grandchildren, it’s better not to drag out like me.

Physiotherapeutic procedures are sometimes used to treat alveolitis after tooth extraction:
- Microwave therapy;
- Helium-neon laser treatment;
- Ural federal district;
- Fluctuation.
Prevention of Alveolitis
So that after the tooth is pulled out, the hole does not fester, you should carefully consider the doctor’s recommendations for wound care. Do not use those funds that have not been prescribed.
In case there are doubts about the competence of the doctor and the correctness of the recommendations, you can seek advice from other clinics. No one forbids getting professional advice even in three medical institutions, all the more so since almost always these consultations turn out to be free.
In order for the healing processes to proceed in the normal mode, you should not pick the wound, arbitrarily scrape the gum, squeeze out a blood clot, suck it out and damage it with something. It is especially important not to chew food on the side of the jaw where the tooth was removed for at least a few days so that the blood clot is intact.
If, after tooth extraction, the doctor sutured the hole, then suture material cannot be damaged, since the edges of the wound can diverge, and the hole will become an object for secondary infection. It goes without saying that no hands (neither clean nor dirty) can be used to check the wound for pain or to clean it from plaque of any color.
The implementation of these simple rules will allow you not to appear again at the surgeon’s appointment and will make the process healing of the hole after tooth extraction comfortable and safe for your health.

What to do after tooth extraction to prevent complications
Fear or concerns before a tooth extraction operation is normal if they do not panic and do not provoke a person to danger ...
So, suppose you have a swollen cheek after tooth extraction, and you don’t know what to do - is this normal or a dangerous complication ...
No matter how hard the dental surgeon tries to carefully remove your tooth, however, forcibly removing it from the hole is always associated with trauma ...
After removing the wisdom tooth, the doctor put a piece of gauze soaked in medicine in the hole and told him to go with it for 4 days. This is normal? And will it not harm wound healing?
Gauze is removed 15-25 minutes after removal.
I had 3 teeth removed from the surgeon, then gauze with propolis was applied for 4 days. When removed from the dentist (without suturing), the gauze swab was removed after 20 minutes.
And they put me medicine because of a dry hole. By the way, how many people healed after removal?
I have not had any changes for a month now, a big hole.
My lower wisdom tooth was removed, a week later they also put gauze with medicine. But they change it for me every day, the doctor said that three days is enough. He said that it was an antibiotic, for a week I could not get off Ketorol.
The presence of gauze is normal when it is necessary to remove inflammation. Then the doctor will remove the gauze and the wound will heal quickly and without complications.
Every trip to the dentist is a huge risk of losing the remnants of your health. And all because the professionalism of doctors leaves much to be desired. Even if you pay, there is still no guarantee.
After removing the wisdom tooth in the hole, a white dense coating, after removal 3 weeks have passed. There is no pain, the gum tumor has passed. White plaque does not pass for so long - is this normal?
Oleg, I also have this white plaque three weeks later, and something white follows (I don’t know what it is.
On Friday night tooth 7 was removed from the bottom, on the right. The tooth was loose and there was a cyst on the root of the tooth.The fact is that for the second day the gum hurts and I can’t open my mouth normally, it reduces it. I was not prescribed any antibiotics, because I am in position. What should I do, can I rinse something?
Of course, you can rinse: miramistin, chlorhexidine, soda and iodine, salt, only to warm the water, and even if it hurts very badly, paracetamol can. I have the same problem, I’m in position, the tooth was removed two days ago, and the jaw and the hole itself are unbearably painful, it even hurts to speak ... I worry, as if there was no inflammation.
Kira, why are you giving the wrong advice? You are not a doctor. You send people to the next world. Is it possible to apply a warm heating pad to a wound or to a place where an inflammatory process or an abscess is possible? This will even more intensify the process for the worse - suppuration with a possible transition to infection. Soda and hydrogen peroxide should not be rinsed. Of the most famous tools that doctors prescribe to rinse after tooth extraction, it is chlorhexidine and miramistin. People, do not read the advice from the Internet, but go to the doctor, at least according to the policy in ordinary dentistry, if there is no finance for a paid surgeon. And there they will send in the direction of the Institute of Dentistry, in surgery. Maybe in time they will detect inflammation after removal and help. Julia Nachalova delayed going to the doctor, decided to heal herself, that's what happened. Never in any place, if it hurts, do not put a hot heating pad, especially on fluxes and appendicitis. Only cold inhibits the inflammatory process until the arrival of doctors or going to the clinic. Chlorhexidine and miramistin are advised not by me, but by all surgeons. All health.
11/25 a tooth was removed (the lower 5 on the right side). After 3 days, the gum started to hurt like a tooth hurts with inflammation of the nerve. Only fanigan helped with the pain. I also made baths from a sage broth. I thought that the pain will pass, but it was not there. I had to go to the dentist, we were diagnosed with alveolitis. I cleaned the hole, put iodine drainage. And at home they prescribed to take the antibiotic azithromycin for 3 days, drip lincomycin with lidocaine into the hole throughout the day (put 2 cubic meters of lincomycin and cubic lidocaine into the syringe, bend the needle of the syringe as if in half and, directing into the hole, drip throughout the day). He also advised the doctor to put a swab with ointment “levomekol” on the hole. And also do chlorhexidine baths. I hope that the gums will heal without further problems.
Natalya, hello. I have the same. Yesterday we did an autopsy, cleaned, and put in a drain. I visited the dentist today, he said, everything is fine and will remove the drainage tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Did you heal for a long time?
November 27, removed the tooth, figure eight, lower left. The operation was difficult, after removal the wound does not heal. I went to the doctor for an examination, he cleaned the hole and put a sponge with medicine. Three days have passed, there is pain. Today I walked again and again cleaned the hole and put the sponge ... I said to rinse with chamomile, nothing more ... Already tired, honestly, what should I do, someone will say, please?
Zahar, how's a tooth? I have the same story. I feel I need to go to the doctor, be treated. Itself does not pass. The tooth was removed on March 15, and today is April 1.
I removed a tooth a week ago, 6 from the bottom right. Removal was difficult: they knocked out my roots. Within three days the gums ached, and there everything turned gray. I went to the doctor, she cleaned the hole, it hurt. She put the medicine, said to go with him for 3 days. After 3 days, she came, she removed the medicine, said the ointment to put solcoseryl there. The doctor says nothing, I have a black hole and the smell is from there. I decided to rinse with a camomile. I don’t know what to do, the gum is aching (How will everything heal there, if the ointment always goes there? ..
Change the dentist.
How is the hole cleaned?
Hello, Elena! There are certain protocol standards for revising a well after removal, but the technique for working with problematic wells is individual for each doctor. Personally, in my work I use the option of caring for the hole. First, anesthesia is done so that there is no pain. When the patient does not feel anything in the area of the hole, I carry out its processing: I remove fragments of bone tissue and the crown of the tooth, granulomas, etc., if any. A good blood clot gradually forms, and the work with curettage instruments stops: a gauze swab with an antibacterial anti-inflammatory drug is placed. Home remedies for self-treatment are prescribed, followed by a mandatory follow-up visit. Usually, only one such visit is required, since a clean hole heals on its own without unpleasant symptoms.
A week ago, the tooth was removed on the right, a paid injection was given. The gums are a little swollen and sore, aching. I drank 2 packs of Ketonal tablets, caress them, and the hole aches so much.
The lower right wisdom tooth was removed, 6 days have already passed, a sore throat in that side and an ear, white plaque over all teeth on that side. Pus, probably from below as well. Himself on a guard watch, soda analgin and paracetamol. I can’t swallow, my mouth does not open almost. How to be Can you rinse soda often?
Maybe you have a dry hole. I have it right now. Be sure to see a doctor. Every day they are washed and propolis is applied. Should help, the pain is gone.
Everything was the same. I went to the doctor - they cut the gum, a lot of pus came out, and it became easier.
Honestly, after these comments, I’m afraid to go up a tooth. I have a rotten back tooth, because of it there is an unpleasant smell, although I brush it. There used to be a tooth bigger, now it is crumbling. First you need to pull out a tooth? Or do something before this? Tell me please.
The sooner you get rid of it, the better! And if you follow all the doctor’s prescriptions, you will do without complications.
Don’t be afraid 🙂 All the rules will be, yesterday I removed 2 teeth: 6 and 4, and today 8. Two wounds almost healed, though I drank the pills a day before the surgeon, and tomorrow I still sting, for blood coagulation. Today a white clot has already appeared, like cotton wool (the doctor said that white ones are like white blood cells, and it’s better not to fuss them). True, I gobbled up this clot now 🙂 And there was a blood spot in the hole. So all the rules 🙂
Eugene, well, you and the hammer!
Perform a deletion. They remove it under anesthesia, today I did it - it doesn’t hurt at all!
How long does a dry hole heal? At least the gums will be delayed, otherwise the hole is big, 1 month has passed, but there are no changes.
A dry hole will not heal itself, it is necessary to the dentist.
Urgently! Is there a doctor on the site now, can someone answer my question?
Doctors come here periodically, do not constantly sit here. They answer questions, but, of course, not this very minute)
Yes there is. I'm a doctor.
My tooth was removed at the top, four, the operation was difficult. For 2 weeks everything hurt terribly, did not sleep and did not eat. Now it’s better, there isn’t much pain. But I'm worried about the growth of meat from the hole. I hurt him, he is soft as silicone. What could it be? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hello, Tanya. Due to difficult removal, the healing of the hole was slow. The epithelium around the gums began to grow and “contract”. This does not always look personal. I have observed this problem more than once (especially in elderly patients). The gum really grows randomly, filling the void in the hole, as God puts on the soul. In the end, after about a couple of weeks the wound is formed more or less beautifully: the edges become smooth and, accordingly, the gum itself looks even.It can take its final form (especially after complex and traumatic removals) not earlier than after 3-4 months (up to six months).
6 months ago removed. Now it’s grown out of the hole, as you have - soft to the touch, like silicone, and in shape like a PEA. There are no pains. But I do not like the appearance of this hole.
Consult a doctor, most likely, this gelatin sponge has swollen and grown, only a doctor should cut it off.
A wisdom tooth was also removed from me on March 29th. The pain is hellish. I went to the reception again, the doctor took a picture, everything is normal. He said inflammation of the hole, prescribed an antibiotic and ketorol. Today I drink 3 days, the pain goes away only for a while. Weakness, dizziness, nausea. No temperature. How much more to drink antibiotics?
Hello Ulyana! An antibiotic is usually taken from 5 to 7 days, but there is also a longer intake in difficult situations. The duration of admission is controlled by the attending physician.
It is strange that the doctor, having made the correct diagnosis of "inflammation of the socket" or "alveolitis" limited himself only to prescriptions, but did not cure the socket with the formation of a fresh clot. This is done under local anesthesia and almost always leads to success in the coming days. In my practice, in addition to curettage, a gauze dressing with an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ointment is applied over the wound for 10-15 minutes. It is local therapy + general recommendations that give a quick result. I'm afraid that without attention to your hole, you can simply wait for a positive result for a long time, which can be dangerous.
On the 29th I got a tooth out. And the hole still hurts and there is something white in it. Now the adjacent tooth hurts when pressed. What is it?
Hello Light! The wording “hole still hurts” is a loose concept. Since you did not describe the nature of the pain, I dare to suggest that pain is limited to eating. It is clear that the more difficult the removal, the slower the wound healing process.
The fact that 10 days have passed and the wound is felt is not an indicator of the problem. “Something white” in a wound is a vague definition. Of course, it suggests that the “little white” is much better than the dirty gray, black, dark brown, and even with a putrid odor. If you suspect that this is purulent exudate, then the symptoms would be brighter. Presumably, what you have now is fit into the norm.
The neighboring teeth after removal to one degree or another hurt almost all “when pressed”. The proximity of the wound affects the surrounding tissues around the teeth located near the hole. This will pass as the hole heals and adapts.
Please tell me, on April 11, I pulled out the bottom eight, I’ve been drinking Nise for a week now, because the pain does not pass, the cheek is swollen, there are white blotches. I went to the doctor again on April 15, looked ... I said that this is the norm with complex removal and that it can hurt so much up to 2 weeks. But it scares me ... I can only live with Nise. Tell me, is this the norm? Or should you see another doctor?
Hello Irina! Swelling and severe pain for more than a week is not the norm. Critical the first day after removal, but no more.
There are certainly more humane methods than “chemistry” for eliminating the symptoms of a violation in the healing of the hole. I think that it is still worthwhile to appear to another doctor to clarify the situation and (or) conduct events. Each doctor approaches such problems individually. It is enough to re-treat the hole under anesthesia with the removal of the remains of the crushed bone, parts of the tooth, granuloma, etc. Sometimes just refreshing the wound with the formation of a full-fledged blood clot is enough so that nothing else hurts.
The question of introducing drugs (sponges, ointments, gels, etc.) into a wound or wound remains open - it is decided by each doctor individually as experience accumulates in successful work.
Thank you very much for the answer, today I could not stand it, I went again to the same doctor, because another doctor is not working today. Again he said that this is the norm, the pain, he says, can last up to 2-3 weeks, the hole is tightened, and the white blotches are dead skin. Prescribed to apply diluted proposol to the well. But leaving him, she again drank ketorol. I wake up at night from the ever-nagging pain that haunts me. Tomorrow I’ll go to another doctor ... ((
Another doctor also said that apparently there is no inflammation. There is no clot in the hole either ... And it is deep ((If the pain does not subside before the weekend, be sure to show it again - take a picture and prescribe an antibiotic ... But, it seems, the pain has become more tolerant. Every day counts.
Tell me, can you do sports? 1.5 weeks have passed ...
Hello again, Irina! I hope for your speedy recovery. It is a pity that the doctor did not begin to form a new clot for you. But on the other hand, many patients do not like to be picked again in the wound, albeit with a “freeze”.
Since the work was not done and a week and a half has passed, the sport is not contraindicated in a moderate amount. Usually forbidden to engage in physical labor in the first 2-3 days after tooth extraction in order to avoid bleeding. In your case, I would like the blood itself to go: you would hold a sterile napkin for 10 minutes, forming a good clot. It is he who almost always removes all the bad symptoms (especially pain).
But closer to 100%, run do not run, do not push-ups, and the blood will not go, as the wound from the bottom is already covered with a new young tissue. So do your health! Maybe you’ll think less about the bad!
Hello. I removed the lower eight two weeks ago (it was not traumatic and rather quick, although the tooth was cut to reduce the load on the jaw, it was large). The doctor warned that there would be more pain than when removing the previous eight (removed two months ago), because the roots were slightly bent and touched the nerve. Three days after ingestion of food, the hole was suppurated (there was no way to get to the doctor). When I came to the reception, they did a rinse and put the alvoles, it helped at first, the pain went away immediately, but after a couple of days the aching pain returned, sometimes throbbing, piercing the jaw (it didn’t give into the temple and ear). There was no temperature, the pain increased in the evening, the edema was very small. The gum was red and swollen, the doctor put the alveolitis and made a hole curettage in a week, prescribed a broad-spectrum antibiotic. First he put a sponge with some medicine, after a day washing, put an iodoform gauze swab, again two days later. And, it seems, everything heals there normally, but dull aching pains in the hole regularly appear (6th day after curettage). I'm already just paranoia and I'm afraid that this is again some kind of complication. Tell me, is this normal and how often does it happen? And when to sound the alarm?
Hello, Oksana! Well, essentially the question: a number of dentists are sure that alveolitis is the result of poor preparation of a wound by a doctor. That is, if all conditions during operation were met (accuracy, sterility, rapprochement of the wound edges, a good clot, etc.), then alveolitis almost does not occur.
Of course, no one is safe from mistakes, so the alveolitis can be considered as the result of a mutual violation of the regimes. You could also “help” the hole to come to such a state, but do not despair. The doctor conducted the work on the treatment of alveolitis. The acute stage has passed, and the residual effects persist, but temporarily.
The frequency of alveolitis in patients of each doctor is different.The more mistakes the doctor makes (and the patient does not follow the recommendations), the higher the statistics. I think that it’s to “sound the alarm” when a putrefactive smell from the hole appears, the temperature rises and (or) swelling forms.
Unfortunately, without inspecting the hole, one cannot say anything positive or negative. That is why it is so important to resolve any dubious issues with your doctor. In case of distrust of him, no one prohibits holding a consultation with another specialist. I think that you will make the right decision. Recover!
Hello. They pulled out the last tooth in the row. There is no pain anymore. Today, when brushing your teeth, a blood plug has rinsed, which forms after removal. The hole remained open. Is this a dry hole now and is it worth going to the dentist, or is it going to drag itself on, as it should?
I forgot to clarify that the clot had rinsed out on the seventh day after removal.
Hello Oleg! Loss of a blood clot may or may not cause symptoms of a dry well. In order not to guess on the coffee grounds, even though it is already the 7th day of removal, it is better to go to your doctor and clarify all the nuances. A competent doctor will find the right solution. Personally, I would again form a fresh clot under local anesthesia and sleep peacefully, since the biological dressing is in place. The tactics of doctors on the same issue can be different, so you should listen to the opinion of a colleague and follow his principles of assistance in this situation.
And this is me again)) Today I was at the dentist again, as my ear began to hurt, with backache. The dentist sent to the ENT, as, he says, most likely, it was bleeding. ENT looked and said that it was neuralgia - from the tooth ... I recommended to flake xefocan or flamadex. Nerves are running out ((The dentist said to come after the weekend, if it doesn’t get better - they will make a new clot under anesthesia. It seems to me that I will die soon ... Tired, my strength is gone ((
You need to go to another dentist.
Hello! The lower right 6 was removed on April 20. The removal is complex, a 3 by 5 mm bone is exposed on the inside of the gum. The doctor said that the bone would interfere for some time and applied the medicine. The pain is not strong, rather, aching, a feeling of slight swelling, the lymph node under the jaw has increased. I rinse with a solution of furatsilin and irrigate the wound with miramistin, but all the same for 3 days there was an unpleasant smell from the hole. The doctor did not give any recommendations, on the contrary, she said that in 1 day of removal she wouldn’t rinse her mouth, did not prescribe antibiotics. Firstly, I am worried about how long the bone will be exposed, and in general, will the tissue grow on it, the “scary" sight is painful + can the smell be eliminated at home using drugs and an antibiotic?
Hello, Elena! With all due respect to my colleague, I do not agree with her tactics. First, the bone should not be left uncovered by the gums - this is the path to pain and a great risk of developing alveolitis. Secondly, the doctor must give recommendations, especially after a complex removal.
The fact that you have taken the path of self-treatment is understandable, but risky (the irritating effect of many drugs does not allow them to be used after removal).
Regarding the protruding edge of the bone: it can simply turn into an exostosis, which will have to be polished. Whether you want it or not, it is best to turn to another dental surgeon with experience in this area. It is possible to grind the bone exostoses, align the edges, remove the fragments (I am sure that they are), clean the wound again and, according to indications, suture the edges of the wound. It is necessary that the wound is not gaping - the entrance gate for food, infection and so on.
Then the hole will heal comfortably and without pain (with minimal discomfort and in a matter of days). Stay healthy!
Well, how did your situation develop? Himself in the same condition, they removed 6, it hurt for 2 days, then it stopped, but the bone is visible. And so, on the 7th day, I always touched this bone with my tongue, it started to hurt in the evening, it hurts for 3 days already, a throbbing pain.
Hello. Three days ago, the seventh tooth was removed from above, it was with pus and I still don’t have a blood clot! This is bad?
Hello! In fact, a blood clot formed after tooth extraction is the norm, but often even without a clot healing takes place without serious complications. The main thing is that there are no characteristic symptoms: temperature, swelling, acute pain, etc. In any case, a visit to the dentist should be sure to exclude future problems with the hole. If you still do not have the opportunity to see a doctor, then you should clearly follow their recommendations. Be healthy!
I removed the tooth, 5 days have passed, the edema hurts terribly. What to do?
Hello! Information is not enough to complete the picture, but a common cause of pain (especially 3-5 days after removal) is alveolitis ("suppuration of the hole"). Since I was not present at the time of removal, they can only speak in absentia and approximately. Rough and traumatic interventions with poor revision of the wound often lead to repeated severe pain, swelling, temperature, etc. a few days after tooth extraction. Sometimes a lot depends on the patient himself, while ignoring the doctor’s recommendations: will alveolitis or not. Indeed, with alveolitis, the hole can hurt even more than there were pains before tooth extraction. Pain and other symptoms in more than 50-60% of cases will not stop until the situation in the chair of the dentist-surgeon is examined, who must examine the hole and conduct its competent treatment under anesthesia. Often, such problems are resolved with your own doctor, but you can also contact other dentistry if there is any doubt on your part.
She removed the tooth, two weeks passed, tooth 6. Near the tooth, the tumor (the feeling that pus has not matured) does not subside. The doctor said that over time will pass. Now I look - the entire lower gum is red. And where the tooth was, swelling is growing more and more. I know what I need to see a doctor and better to another. But where on the weekend will you find them. What first aid can I give myself?
Hello! There is an on-call dentist service at hospitals, regional centers, etc. Dentistry is especially popular now for 24 hours, where they provide ongoing assistance: I mean the private sector. This is expensive, but when it comes to serious risks to life and health - acceptable. It is only possible to harm yourself, especially since we live in the 21st century. I have no right to appoint anything seditious to you, since this will not be within the framework of scientific medicine.
After the next removal, the hole always hurts me, this is already an infection. The doctor prescribed treatment for me: rifampicin tablets (antibiotic) and methyluracil ointment. Cover the hole with this tablet and apply the ointment to the wound - this is how I treat my holes. But consult your doctors.
Hello! I removed the molar tooth with a cyst 12.05. I was embarrassed that the doctor did not take pictures either before or after the operation. He didn’t clean the hole, he didn’t give appointments, he just let go in peace. All these days there is a swelling of the cheeks, swelling of the gums, the hole is suspiciously gray, and in addition now I noticed in the place of the extracted tooth, on the side, something like stomatitis. I strongly suspect that this is inflammation. I’ll get to the doctor only on Monday.Tell me, please, how to rinse and what is it in general? To know for sure.
Hello! You list the signs of incipient alveolitis (gray hole, edema), so I recommend urgently contacting a dentist. Self-treatment is not recommended, since the inflammatory process can be aggravated. Tolerate, of course, no one offers you, so the alternative on Monday is to contact the dentist on call or in a private round-the-clock dentistry. Fortunately, there are similar services in government clinics, especially where hospitals for maxillofacial patients are attached.
Hello. 05/11/16, I was removed 8-ku on the lower jaw on the right. 6 days have passed. On top of the hole formed a white oblong plaque, like stomatitis. In the hole too. I followed the recommendations for care, did not rinse much, so as not to rinse the clot. Although now I do not observe him in the hole. The right side aches, gives to the temple. I’ll only see a doctor tomorrow afternoon ((The gums of a neighboring tooth are swollen.
The doctor prescribed the antibiotic Tsiprolet, 500 mg, baths from furatsilin on the day of tooth extraction. Removal was difficult. I drank antibiotics, it’s strange that the hole inflamed anyway ... (
Hello! I think that there is a suspicion of alveolitis, although it is worth checking the neighboring teeth for caries. Unfortunately, an antibiotic is not a panacea. If this were so, then it would be mercilessly exploited for the prevention of alveolitis. In general, an antibiotic is more used to fight infection with serious purulent complications here and now: a tooth was removed with a "flux" - it was prescribed.
A blood clot may not be seen over time, as it gradually degenerates into tissue and is already deep. It is reasonable to diagnose the condition with the attending physician. I wish you to receive answers to your questions and adjust the treatment!
Hello! Thanks for the answer. Today was at the doctor who performed the removal - said that everything is fine. To my complaint about stomatitis from the side (I thought it was a fistula) I said that this was a reaction of the body to the operation and that there was no pus. Hole and its color completely satisfied him. But I care about the smell from the hole, not to say that it is strong, but it is. There is almost no pain, only if you touch "stomatitis", the gum is swollen, but the swelling does not increase, it even subsides. I think to go to another specialist, let's see what he says.
I pulled out 8 on top, pulled out quickly, they said that there were no fragments. They made recommendations. Do not rinse, do not climb hands and tongue, do not eat for two hours. I complied, but in the evening I anointed with solcoseryl dental paste. Now I’m thinking, but what if you couldn’t do it, and I’m worried 🙂
The question is still the same - I came to the clinic according to the policy, since there was no money for a private paid doctor. I took 1000 for a paid anesthesia with me. I waited in line, in front of me people paid 700 rubles to the cash desk for paid anesthesia. And that’s it, I’ve come, I’m saying: I would have to do a good anesthesia. The doctor looked and said - if with imported drugs, then 3000, at the cash desk. Or ours - for free. I was a little confused, called my husband to transfer money to a card, and paid. I look at the check. Two types of anesthesia: 300 and 400 rubles., This is just 700, like everyone else, and 2300 indicates the removal of a complex tooth. I can’t understand how the paid removal itself could differ from the free one according to the policy, I was at the dentist for the first time. I asked on the chair, the doctor did not quite clearly answer - he said imported drugs, the hole will be smaller after removal. I say, and how is the free procedure different? In addition to anesthesia, paid. He somehow didn’t make everything clear. I do not understand, in short. My tooth was damaged by caries on top. 8 upper right. Fully crawled out, but broke off a piece and injured her cheek with an acute angle, as it grew to the side.Removal was quick, root white-white, clean.
Here, I think, what was the payment for, to understand. Free removal of other tools or what?
And could I use Solcoseryl dental paste to harm myself?
By the way, I didn’t take pictures. Neither before nor after. They did not give a chill.
Hello, Tanya! As for the ointment: it certainly can’t hurt. Its biocompatible composition even protects the well from aggression by oral factors: physical, chemical, etc. Dental paste is definitely not an enemy of your health.
Are treatment prices an enemy of the wallet for the patient? Firstly, “two types of anesthesia” - it sounds interesting from the point of view that it is possible to use different anesthetics only as a last resort, as this gives complications. Therefore, the doctor almost 100% works with one person 1 anesthesia drug. Another thing is that the number of carpules can be from 1-2 to 3-4 per patient.
As for the difficult removal of the wisdom tooth. Yes, wisdom teeth are now a specific income item for dentists. There are such items in the price list. Since you did everything through the cash register, the point is that the doctor receives his percentage not too large (I don’t remember, but something about 15-20% of the total). No one except the dentist understands the features of invoicing for the price of the cash register. Cashiers and accountants understand this very little. The main thing is that it be within reason. Although my colleague once wrote to grandmothers for treatment of a three-channel tooth in cash desk 2-3 thousand rubles, and for the same treatment to aunts and uncles - about 7-8 thousand. The point is that for some treatment you can count some points, and some to ignore. It is absolutely impossible to control this process.
Given the crisis, the survival rate of free medicine is now based on these paradoxes. Now we don’t remember on what grounds the traffic police officer is so active on the road - in the name of a lofty goal? But accuracy in treating clients should not be veiled by money. This is a personal opinion.
6 days ago, the upper wisdom tooth was removed. Came with pain to the floor of the face. They made injections, 4 cubes of lidocaine. After removal, the doctor asked to tightly hold the bandage swab, then put another swab and said to pull it out at home. After the freeze was gone, the pain was wild. I drank ketonal. In the morning the pain was less, but a slight swelling of the cheek appeared. On the third day, the swelling became larger and the pain was continuous, and on the fourth day I came to the dentist with swelling and severe pain. The mouth almost did not open. After examining the surgeon, he told me that everything is fine, the hole is good, you can rinse. She rinsed the house slowly, scored a soda-salt solution over her cheek, and spat out. The pain did not go away, the swelling too. On day 5, a yellow bruise appeared on the cheek. All this time I was sitting on a ketone. On the 6th day, that is today, I went to the doctor. After the inspection, she said that the hole was empty, it was necessary to clean it. I injected ultracain and scrubbed the hole, while I could not open my mouth normally and there was severe pain in my cheek. After cleaning, she put a tourniquet with medicine and told me not to pull it out, they say, will grow over. She prescribed ciprolet and nurofen. When I got home, I drank painkillers right away, but until it worked, I literally fought in pain hysteria. An hour later, the pain let go, swelling and numbness in the cheek, pain when trying to smile or open your mouth, and also under the lower jaw when pressed. I drink from the straw. Now there is no pain, but the temperature has risen 38. Is this normal? Or it’s better to call an ambulance to the hospital.
Hello! You have all the signs of active alveolitis. I think that the hole has not yet been brought into a divine form. It is important to take a picture of the hole in order to make sure: there are no fragments of carious tissues of the tooth or (very bad) not removed tops of the roots.If everything is normal, then it is worth determining in the oral cavity whether the blood clot is full in the wound or not.
And about the temperature: as far as I know, everything above 38 degrees allows you to call an ambulance, since you have a symptom of “suppuration” of the hole - a local inflammatory process with a switch to surrounding tissues. It may be best to contact a professional maxillofacial surgeon to provide you emergency care. Moreover, the previous specialist seems to have exhausted his abilities in solving your problems.
And I took it with an ear stick and pulled some white content out of the hole. And after he took it washed with peroxide. And now there seems to be a dry hole. Tell me what to do in this case? (I did not know that this should not be done).
Hello! I think you have removed a blood clot or inflammatory exudate. Now you have the effect of a dry hole. For the safety of healing, I recommend contacting a dentist-surgeon for the formation of a full-fledged blood clot, as a biological dressing. In the future, I do not advise self-medication.
I removed the bottom eight 9 days ago, there was a bone manipulation, 2 stitches were put. The sutures quickly enough tightened and resolved, but the pain did not go away, it turned out that in the wound from the side of the 7th tooth, inflammation began. I went to the doctor, he washed the wound and put medicine with gauze there, and said after 2 days to come to him. There is practically no pain now, if you do not disturb that place. Is it normal that there is gauze? And suddenly, when she is removed, something will fall into this place again, what then to do? Is there a risk that 7 will suffer from inflammation? There is no temperature, in general I feel good. And the doctor prescribed antibiotics - cytrofan.
Hello! All doctor's appointments are adequate to the situation. I think that you put iodoform turunda in the hole for the treatment of alveolitis. The technique of "laying gauze in the wound" is not modern, but not the worst. It's just that the doctor will have to remove this “gauze”, since it does not absorb. 7 tooth, more than sure, does not threaten anything in this situation.
I am sure that you were not prescribed Cifrofan, but Cifran - an antibiotic that is often prescribed in maxillofacial surgery. If you remove the gauze, then the doctor will maximize the healing comfort. The doctor will certainly bring the edges of the wound closer, reducing the risks of food ingestion.
Hello, tell me, please, how to act in this situation. A tooth was removed 5 days ago, a dental surgeon gave an injection, and for a long time he tried to pull out a tooth, because there was practically nothing left of it, it rotted from the inside a couple of months ago and fell off. As a result, he crumbled all over, the doctor said to spit out blood and fragments of the tooth, then said how to rinse, and sent him home. When he stopped bleeding (the day after removal), I began to rinse my mouth with furatsilinom, as ordered. After 2 days, I noticed that something was wrong, the rot smell was coming from my mouth, the gum was covered with white-gray, and in the depths it was black rotten plaque. I apply a balsamic liniment according to Vishnevsky (I don’t know if it is possible) to suck out all the rot, and continue to rinse my mouth. Will it be possible to get through to the clinic? I do not live in a city. Thank you in advance for your reply, I really appreciate your help.
As for the pain: the pain was aching, but not severe, 1 day for 2-3 days after removal. And it doesn’t hurt if you don’t touch it.
Hello! It goes without saying that you have an alveolitis “in conditions comfortable for him”. As for liniment - I'm not sure that it can solve the problem. You should contact your dental surgeon to form a full-fledged new blood clot with anesthesia. Only a biological dressing helps to better cope with inflammation.Fragments that have not been removed can also be detected, since they are often fed by alveolitis. See a doctor! Health to you!
Almost a year ago, a tooth was removed - the “five” of the lower jaw. A few days later, due to severe pain, they cleaned the hole, after which the medicine was put there. After the next visit to the doctor and examination, it was said that everything was in order, the doctor still did something with the hole, and said that it was no longer necessary to come, everything healed normally. A few days later I noticed a piece of gauze sticking out of the hole in the mirror, I could not immediately go to the doctor with it, and a day later the hole from the top was practically tightened. I wanted to pull this piece of gauze out of it myself, but I could no longer, except for one thread. When visiting the doctor, of course, no one believed me that gauze could remain in the hole, which was already practically dragged out. Almost a year has passed, I constantly feel this place, periodically it aches quite a bit, as if there was still a bad tooth. There was a slight swelling of the cheek in this place, not pronounced. What should I do with all this now?
Hello Olga! I think it is urgent to contact a dentist-surgeon: explain to him the situation in detail, take a picture of the healed hole and already draw conclusions on its basis. If the doctor sees a source of bone rarefaction or other problems, then it will be necessary to make an audit of the wound under anesthesia. Almost always, such operations are not harmful: everything is done accurately and quickly. The main thing is to accurately determine the source of edema and aching pain. In general, Olga, look for a qualified dentist and do not delay this problem.
Thank you very much, Svyatoslav Gennadevich, that was exactly what I was going to do myself, the only thing that holds back is my fear that the “gauze left in the hole” will be considered “crazy nonsense”, with an appropriate attitude to my story about this. But I not only saw this piece of gauze, but even picked it up with a needle, I didn’t dare to get it myself, and then it was too late - the edges of the hole pulled together and it was no longer visible. But the doctor did not believe that this could be. So I don’t know where to look for a doctor who will take a “word of mouth” and take this situation seriously. I live in Nizhny Novgorod.
The tooth was removed from the lower jaw, on the second day a seal formed on the neck, swallowing something hurts. I went to the reception, they say that there is no pus, only blood, they made a new clot. Please tell me how it should be? And they cut my gum already 2 times, first they wrote out the digits, on the third day they added cephalexin, and they both said to drink. What to do? Help.
Hello! I think that the appointments are quite appropriate: the dentist made every effort for the prospect of comfortable healing. Although two antibiotics at the same time is a loading dose. I hope that you reinforce the treatment with drugs for dysbiosis that can cause antibiotics.
Hello! Tell me, please, 5 days ago they removed the lower right 8, everything went without complications, but the pain still does not go away, is this normal? The doctor did not prescribe anything, neither rinsing, nor antibiotics.
Hello Marina! In general, recommendations related to antibiotics are not always a necessary attribute of tooth extraction. This is especially true of rinses, which are opposed even by many leading maxillofacial surgeons and implantologists in Russia and other countries.
I don’t know if I will say something new for you, but the pain threshold for each person is individual. It seems to me to understand how to help you only with this existing symptom, the doctor should talk with you and find out a number of points.How sensitive are you? Were there such protracted cases of pain before? When does the pain appear: when chewing, or does the hole ache constantly? In order to diagnose "alveolitis", more compelling reasons and a specific questioning + detailed examination of the hole are required. Contact your dentist, or check the details for your case.
Good afternoon, Svyatoslav Gennadevich! Please answer my questions. On June 15, the front 1 tooth was removed (top right). After the departure of pain relief, a terrible pain began, which lasts a week already ((Desna was swollen, terrible throbbing pain! I went to the dentist on June 20, explained everything. I did an X-ray and said that there were materials left from the filling 25 years ago ... I cleared everything, prescribed NUMBER , DIAZOLINE AND NICE. The pain after this procedure has become even stronger, only KETANOV helps for 2-3 hours. The gums are swollen even more! But the doctor says that this is normal, it happens. I have a terrible weakness, no strength anymore, headache, difficult to swallow. When pus comes out, what to do, to whom to turn?
Hello! I think that you have alveolitis - an infectious inflammatory process of the hole after tooth extraction. Several important signs confirm this (pain, suppuration, poor condition). I think that fever also has a place to be. However, I cannot understand why it is difficult for you to swallow if the front tooth was removed? Thanks to this controversial moment, it’s important for me to focus on finding a problem with the lower distant teeth.
About the problem hole. I recommend several steps: take a picture of the hole after cleaning the material (so that it is the most “fresh”), then contact another dental surgeon for an in-person consultation. The doctor, most likely, will conduct a curettage of the hole and form a full-fledged blood clot. Judging by your symptoms, referring to the previous doctor again is not entirely beneficial: I think that the doctor does not see any way out of this problem with the means that he has.
Removed the 6th lower tooth on June 22nd, the tooth was complex, the roots sat deep. The doctor removed the cysts, prescribed ciprolet: 5 days, 2 tablets, and rinse (iodine, salt, soda on the second day). After 2 hours after removal, the anesthesia subsided and the lower jaw ached, where the tooth was removed. She barely fell asleep at 3 a.m. Aching dull pain, and the wound was bleeding a little. On the second day, the pain was insignificant, nothing really bothered me, just a slightly tightened sensation, but this is understandable why. The hole is covered with white coating. On the third day, I was worried about the swelling of the cheek and the pain increased slightly compared to the 2nd day. Could this mean that I have the onset of the inflammatory process in the hole? Or is it the norm after complicated removal? I do not see pus, only fibrous plaque, and there is no rotten smell from my mouth.
Hello! I think that there is nothing to worry about, but it is worth monitoring the situation during the day. If the condition worsens: increased swelling, fever, severe pain, putrid breath, then you should contact your dentist on Monday to examine the hole. In general, professional doctors never refuse to monitor the condition of the patient and the hole after removal. Get well soon!
Goodnight! A week ago, removed the wisdom tooth from below. In the first three days the whole jaw ached, woke up at night from pain, and the whole jaw ached, the throat became inflamed. Now the picture is this: a hole in the gum, going to the cheek, inside the hole it is not clear that the food is easily clogged, it is difficult to rinse. The pain remained small on the adjacent teeth. And it seems that there is a smell. How to be Thanks!
Good night, Mila! I think that you should contact your dentist and treat the wound.This is usually done with mild antiseptic solutions without anesthesia. Wound curettage with anesthesia may not be necessary. In any case, it is worthwhile to rinse the wound and adjust the home treatment at the doctor's office. Health to you!
Svyatoslav Gennadievich, good night! Thanks for the answer. I went to the dentist, tissue necrosis began, the blood clot turns out to be destroyed ((Food clogged and rotted, no matter how terrible it sounds. They cleaned with an antiseptic and said to rinse at home with 3% hydrogen peroxide and a solution of water with salt; I can’t take antibiotics - lactation After the treatment of the “tooth hole-mink” the smell disappeared and the pain disappeared. The doctor said that the bone tissue itself would start to grow inside without a blood clot and now it’s important to stop the infection. I’m worried, in three weeks I’ll fly to another country, I’m in Russia to vacation, and where I live, a doctor and they don’t like prescribing medicines and are sure that all sores can be cured with one water ((Can a “tooth hole” grow into bone tissue without a blood clot (without new manipulations)? Thank you very much! Sincerely, Mila.
Thank you for evaluating my work, Mila! The first time I hear that it is possible to treat diseases with water, without drugs: is such a country really there? It’s simple that in Russia there are certain “sects” or groups of people of interest who promote the treatment of various diseases (from pulpitis to oncology) not only with water, but also with piggy urine, conspiracy, yoga, etc.
But in essence: a hole without a clot heals worse and longer, but with a certain purity of it, it freely pulls together and epithelizes from the bottom and walls of the hole. As for the bone tissue: you are in a hurry: restoration of the ridge lasts up to 5-6 months, but it will cease to be a “tooth hole” in the shortest possible time. From my personal observations: in 2-3 weeks, a maximum of 1-2 months after tooth extraction, the hole becomes like a drawn line, so that you understand. Soon, a month will pass from the moment you remove the tooth, so I’m sure that you will have everything like most people do.
Svyatoslav Gennadievich, good night! Thanks for your reply. We live in Denmark, a prescription for a medicine is from the realm of fantasy! And we are used to being treated with water alone 🙂 In a pharmacy you can only buy an antipyretic drug without a prescription.
Hello! A month ago, I removed the figure eight from above. Everything hurt for almost a week, and today I felt a taste of blood in my mouth. There is no blood as such, I think it is pus. In general, I periodically have discharge from the hole. The hole is clean, pink, no plaque. What is this, please tell me ?!
Hello! In fact, in a month the hole was supposed to heal to one degree or another. I think that it is worthwhile to conduct a detailed diagnosis of it: take a picture of the hole and consult a dentist. If there are fragments, root, granuloma and something like that - everything is clear as day.
If the hole is clean from this point of view, then it is necessary to examine the adjacent to the extracted tooth, since it can provoke an infectious process. According to your case, it’s extremely difficult to say now, all this is not typical, therefore it’s still up to the independent expert doctor to decide directly at the face-to-face appointment. For the Internet, this is too difficult a task.
Hello! Tell me what to do in this case. Around 30.06, the lower last but one tooth began to ache slightly on the right side, if I'm not mistaken, dentists call it 47) Every day the pain became stronger. 07/03 went for removal, put two injections of pain medication, during removal the tooth crumbled into several large parts. Immediately after, self-absorbable sponges soaked in antibiotic and a gauze swab were laid, they were prescribed rinsing with soda-saline solution and Cyfran antibiotic. After half an hour, the tampon was removed (it was covered in blood and tooth fragments).The next day, there was severe swelling of the cheek, chin and lymph node, the mouth could not open. Starting from the 5th day, every day I go for examinations, do the washing with peroxide, sometimes they smear with some white ointment, and today, according to my suspicions, the fibers of oak bark were put into the wound. By the way, on the 5th, they also prescribed rinsing with furatsilin and smearing with cholisal. Three days later, the swelling went away, the mouth could open 1 cm. After the end of antibiotics, apparently, deterioration started, again I can not open my mouth at all. The edema has still not completely slept, and the lymph node is inflamed, everything hurts around and is transmitted to the upper jaw, the ear and head still hurt because of this. At the same time, the doctor says that everything is fine, the wound heals well, I still go for examinations every other day, or even every day. Should I go to another dentistry, or is everything really normal and it should be so?
I also forgot to say: when the tooth was removed, they said that it was an abscess, there was pus under the tooth and the lymph node was slightly inflamed.
And now it hurts to swallow.
Hello! I think it’s worth taking a control shot of the hole to identify fragments and (or) roots. You still have alveolitis - inflammation of the hole. I have no other explanation for these symptoms. In any case, you decide: go to the same doctor or change it. However, the direction to the picture of the hole must definitely be obtained from the doctor, so as not to be “thought”, followed by analysis by the dentist. It goes without saying that your doctor will have a biased analysis.
Hello! I went to the city dentistry, took a panoramic picture of the jaw. As it turned out, in private dentistry I was left undeleted one root. The root was removed on the 13th, alveolitis, they said no, the wound was clean. It hurts a lot less, but the mouth still does not open. The doctor said he would open when the wound heals completely. How long does it take for a wound to heal completely? I’ll start to panic soon due to the fact that I can’t eat normally, I’m losing weight ((
Hello! It takes 5-6 months to fully heal a hole, but don't be alarmed. This refers to the restoration of the bone structure and the design of the crest of the alveolar process. I think that you do not ask when the hole will be finalized, but want to know when the opening of the mouth will improve. Unfortunately, this is an individual aspect: most people (if the doctor has done everything correctly) begin to open their mouth normally after removing a wisdom tooth about 7-10 days after the removal. Sometimes you have to wait a little longer because of the traumatically removed root or roots. It all depends on many factors, but it seems to me that in the near future everything will be fine with you. Recover!
Hello, 11 days ago from above with a wisdom tooth removed. It was difficult to remove, since it crumbled and the root sat tight. At first there was a aching pain of day 4, then it passed, but yesterday I felt a taste of pus in my mouth and a terrible smell. What could it be?
I have the same thing to do?
Hello! Maybe alveolitis, even though the classic timing of its appearance is 3-4 days after tooth extraction. In fact, I would like to check this hole on an X-ray for possible roots, fragments, etc., and then plan treatment. If the roots or fragments are found, then without removing them, the hole will not normally heal further. In the event that the alveolitis provoked an infection with food, it is important to wash the wound with antiseptics and (or) make it curettage under anesthesia with the formation of a full blood clot. Without this, the wound is unlikely to heal further.
Good evening! The wisdom tooth was removed on the 20th, in the evening of the same day the cheek was swollen, after 2 days a bruise appeared, but the edema did not sleep. The hole doesn’t really bother, but I can’t see it, only seams are visible, brown pressure when pressed. Could it be pus? Or do you recognize it immediately by its yellow color and smell?
Hello! I think that it is worth contacting your doctor, as you can skip alveolitis and its complications. Based on these symptoms, it is difficult to judge whether this is the norm or not. If there is swelling and suspicious “discharge”, then this is unlikely to fall within the concept of the norm, although I do not know your initial clinical situation, as well as the features of the removal.
Hello. July 20 was a difficult removal of the roots of the 6-ki in the upper jaw. Stitched 2 seams. On day 2 checked. There was a clot. Swelling of the gums holds. There was a whitish coating. Now he is gone, the hole is empty, the bottom looks dark red. How long should a blood clot last? I smear the gums near the hole “metrogil-dent”, rinse with soda-saline solution. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? The hole does not hurt, the feeling of ripple has passed. The gum is swollen, pressing sensitively. What to do next?
Hello! I think that the clot “sprouts” tissues, which is the norm in this situation. The most important thing is that you do not have symptoms that could diagnose problems after tooth extraction. The gum does not immediately recover, so a small local edema is not a formidable (dangerous) symptom. Only the attending physician can correct the tactics of home treatment, since only he knows the features of your body, the removal performed, etc. God forbid, there will be an allergy or some other side effect of the recommended through the Internet only on the basis of your description of the drug: any normal doctor will not forgive himself for this. Thanks for the question.
Thanks you!
Removed 8-ku (bottom) on Sunday. The clot did not form or get damaged. I went to the reception on Tuesday, because the tooth ached, it swelled a little and the empty hole scared me. The surgeon washed and put a turunda with medicine in the hole. The pain immediately decreased. Question: how will the hole heal if something is inserted there?
Hello! The dentist most likely put an anti-inflammatory drug in the hole, which resolves itself. This is done in order to exclude the infectious component in the hole and accelerate its healing. Trust your doctor and follow his recommendations. Health to you!
07/19 removed the bottom 8. The tooth was healed, did not hurt. Removal was difficult, hollowed for 20 minutes, after anesthesia it hurt terribly. 07/22 appealed again, they said that it was normal, appointed UHF and quartz. All this time I accept NISA, it takes 10 hours and again everything hurts: both the jaw, and the head, and the ear. 07/25 I go to the doctor again - they do curettage (they say that the hole is good, and they found nothing wrong with it). And they appoint a CIRCULET, promise relief. Another 2 days pass, it hurts very badly. No more strength when it all ends? I think I’m out of luck with the doctor ...
Hello! I think that not all drugs are suitable for you. Each dental surgeon has his own tactics for the treatment of alveolitis. There are many ways, most of them have proven themselves well. I am sure that relief will come, but it is best to try to form a blood clot and adjust the treatment in another clinic if you yourself doubt the doctor’s competence. I do not judge your doctor by hand, since I did not stand behind him during removal. I can only wish you good health!
Hello, I'm terribly afraid of dentists.In general, I went to the doctor, I don’t know what kind of diagnosis, but half of the tooth is missing, and according to the picture, they say, 100 удаление removal. Oh yes, they still say some kind of suppuration, emptiness, in a word. They scare me, which can swell and much more. Say what could it be?
Hello, Anonymous! People call your diagnosis very simply - “root”. Among dentists, this can be called differently, depending on the clinical situation. Most often interpreted as an exacerbation of chronic periodontitis. This can refer to cysts, and granulomas and cystogranulomas. If you doubt the competence of doctors, then consult another 2-3 clinics. If more than 1 opinion is for removing the roots, then it is better to do it urgently, since they can provoke a flux at any time. You can play Russian roulette, but you don’t need to: it is dangerous to health. Thanks for the question.
Hello! On Tuesday, the top 6 was removed. After this 3 days there was a kind of slightly aching pain. On Friday I went for a consultation. They put some kind of remedy in my hole and said that if it doesn’t work today, then come tomorrow to clean the hole. Discharged drink nimesil. It does not hurt anymore. Today is Saturday. At lunchtime, the removal site again ached a bit. I drank it, everything was quiet. Slight pain when pressing on the cheek, mouth taste of this medicine. The doctor will only work on Monday night. What should I do?
Hello! Doctors do not prescribe treatment in absentia. It is better to consult a doctor on duty if you have an emergency. In general, the pain when chewing after tooth extraction can be up to 1-2 weeks, since the gum gets irritated when eating. As for the taste of medicine: it is also not fatal. I think that your doctor’s tactics are quite adequate. Try to get a consultation as planned.
Hello, Svyatoslav Gennadievich! I read all the questions and answers, could not find a similar situation. I was removed on August 1 two teeth, 1 and 4 upper, and immediately after removal put on a prosthesis. When anesthesia came out, severe pain began, without painkillers in any way. The pain is acute, weakness. Before this, a month ago, three upper teeth were removed at once: 3, 5, 8. Also, a prosthesis was immediately put on. Prescribed antibiotics. The pain was also very strong, a whole week. But all is well. And this time, antibiotics were not prescribed to me. They used to remove me, but there have never been such pains. Please tell me, can the prosthesis be the fault of this pain? There are no more teeth at the top. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hello! A prosthesis can provoke pain if it does not fit or does not adhere properly to the mucosa. Pain is a subjective thing: it is difficult to evaluate your general condition from it today. Antibiotics may not affect the causes of pain, but can prevent serious consequences associated with complications after tooth extraction.
I can not say that the removed tooth to the removed is discord. If earlier any deletions were transferred safely, this does not mean that once again the holes will not begin to whine for several days.
Contact your healthcare provider for treatment corrections.
Hello, Svyatoslav Gennadievich. Today removed the bottom 8-ku. At first they said that it would be necessary to file the lower jaw bone to extract the tooth (the surgeon examined 2 pictures - panoramic and small, 2 teeth), but in the extraction process he said that he would go the other way and removed it with forceps, after picking it with another tool. He said that I had a plastic bone, and it straightened when removed. When removed, a slight crunch of bone pieces was heard. Slightly cleaned the hole from the inflamed tissues, put on a tampon and prescribed amoxicillin with metronidazole and rinse (bath) with chlorhexidine.He took pentalgin, the bottom of the tongue hurts from the side of the extracted tooth and it hurts to swallow because of this. The hole itself does not bother, but it is empty, the blood went for 4 or 5 hours, not much. What can you advise about the empty hole and was there a “plastic bone” in your practice? Thanks in advance.
Hello! I’m almost sure that the doctor had in mind by the plasticity of the bone only its suppleness. That is, initially there was an assumption that the interroot partitions and the walls of the alveoli would not allow the operation to be performed without cutting, but the skill of the doctor and the possibility of elevators with forceps did their good job. As for the empty hole: you would have to look here. It makes sense to visit your doctor, check the general condition of the hole and, if necessary, adjust the treatment. I think that everything is not so critical with you, but it is still worthwhile to have an examination with a doctor. This is important because it will prevent the possible negative effect of the “dry hole” and eliminate the risks of suppuration of the wound. Thanks for the question!
4 days have passed since the extraction of the tooth, and many small white dots appeared at the site of gingival inflammation. The next day they turned into red spots. On the same day in the evening a sharp edge of the gums appeared and these spots surrounded him with a smooth arc. Do not bother. What is it and how to get rid? Is this kind of abnormal?
Hello! I think that you are seeing a whitish coating after removal. Usually it is a shade of light yellow, but it is also closer to white. I have no other explanation, since I have not heard about stomatitis of the hole, but the fact that with inflammation of the hole is dirty gray does not fit your description.
As always, I’ll say my catchphrase: “You need to look here.” How you describe all this is a rather interesting case, but I don’t think that the doctor you are going to consult for will find anything new. However, I cannot but advise precisely this and do it in order to carry out the usual control of the healing of the hole in the dentist's chair. This is an ordinary situation, so shy to seek medical advice here is unnecessary. Thanks for the question.
Good afternoon, I really need your advice. I came to the doctor on Wednesday with acute pain, the gum inflamed over the lower wisdom tooth, food fell under the hood and was festering. There was a terrible bursting pain. The doctor anesthetized, said that there was a strong abscess, he opened it, cleaned it and said that it was necessary to remove the wisdom tooth. The tooth was removed for about 30 minutes, did not want to go out, loosened, picked up, but not sawed. He came out without fragments, but the gum was cut. After removal, the doctor put two stitches on the gum. Gave recommendations and let go home. I didn’t want to stop bleeding. I called the clinic, they said to come. That evening I went, they put on a bandage with a hemostatic solution, but I still spit blood all night and the next morning. And somewhere around 11 in the morning the blood stopped. Again I went to the doctor, he examined the mouth and said that everything was fine so far. The next day I looked at the wound and saw a whitish coating, I thought it was pus and went to the doctor again, he said that it was fibrous plaque, not pus, they washed the wound with peroxide and said less to go into the mouth and calm down. But today, on the third day after the operation, I got into my mouth and looked at the wound and saw not a white, but a yellowish-greenish coating, and there was a shooting bone pain in the gums. I am very afraid that this begins alveolitis. Today is Saturday, and to the doctor, only on Monday. I make all appointments. I take lincomycin, Nise, make baths from romazulan and chlorhexidine, dissolve the Immudon. Tell me what else to do to protect yourself from alveolitis? In general, what percentage of its development after the removal of wisdom teeth? I’ll leave in two weeks, and I wouldn’t like to suffer with my teeth on vacation. Thanks for the answer!
Hello! I would not want to offend anyone, but perhaps you are too fixated, and this attracts problems. The dentist very carefully approaches you from all sides. Having made a maximum (30 minutes for removal - this, in principle, is not long), he came to your aid at the most important moments.
Your appointments are just wonderful, you make them, it seems, very responsible. A yellowish-green plaque is not a sign of alveolitis. I don’t want to talk about one of the signs of alveolitis (dirty gray coating), otherwise you can suddenly find it in yourself in a couple of minutes. The more fear you have, the greater the risk of the problem. Release the situation and do all the assignments. Nothing more is required of you. Anyway, your doctor and you as much as possible do not allow the development of alveolitis.
And one more thing: alveolitis is not deadly. It is enough on the day of the visit to the doctor to conduct a curettage with anesthesia and install gels or ointments per well. My rare wards (who happened to encounter alveolitis after tooth extraction) almost always have an improvement in 1-2 days. If you leave in 2 weeks, then in 3-5 days the deadlines for the risks of alveolitis will pass, since it has not already arisen, and this is wonderful. What else can I tell you for good spirits: well, contact your treating smart doctor, tell him thanks from me and as much health as possible! And I wish you to forget about the tooth hole for a while, and in a week you will already have primary healing (convergence of the edges of the wound), that is, the removal will cease to be “removal” in the sense of the problem.
Have a nice vacation!
Thanks a lot! You really reassured me. I will say hello to my doctor from you, he is really very patient and professional! )
With what warmth I remember medicine of the times of the USSR ... And don’t even say that everything is bad there. Now I remember, and only the good is remembered ... Then the doctors tried to help, but now they provide services. I can never remember that after visiting the dentist there were problems. Everything healed quickly. The pain passed quickly. And now some side effects, removed with problems, it hurts for a long time. Why do doctors not respect themselves now? Sad from such medicine ...
Hello! I have an answer to your question, I think that health officials may not quite like it:
1. Doctors are not respected in the first place. Personally, I and many of my colleagues bought dental chairs for themselves, since it is impossible to work in emergency rooms: the old ones are not written off, because they consider them workers;
2. Doctors are not respected, since almost all doctors complain about salaries. The last year is one of the most difficult for doctors (I can say from communication at a closed forum of doctors). Do not believe the average statistics on salaries: it’s like in a joke when the merchant has 2 sheep, and the collective farmer does not have a single sheep, and on average each sheep has one. They simply summarize the salaries of the chief physicians, heads and departments, but in reality - the average salary is not higher than 12 thousand rubles;
3. Now it’s clear why the budgetary institution can do it quickly and not very qualitatively: dentists receive from 6-8 thousand rubles to 12-18 thousand, therefore they are not interested at all in such work;
4. Those who can somehow make money on the “left” appointment are in a vicious circle: you need to do it quickly enough - the better the doctor works in a budget institution, the more likely it is that the flow of people will teach him to work not very high quality sooner or later . If you don’t quite understand what I’m talking about, then just take my word for it - this conversation is designed for 1-2 hours to expand in detail how everything is arranged there;
5. And the last: it is not necessary, based on your bitter experience, your locality, etc. to judge doctors negatively. Maybe in my province they consider me the best general practitioner and surgeon. And I try to keep even hopeless teeth.But they say in a negative way about the previous doctor (who worked under the USSR): “I spoiled everyone’s teeth and removed them in packs, that now the older generation walks without teeth, even removed caries. Sometimes he treats his teeth, and after a couple of months already under the forceps. ”
But you are right, I, having 11 years of experience, of which I have been working for almost 4 years in a state institution, I don’t want to respect myself anymore, which means that it’s time to end, as the local population calls me, “last hope”. In our hospital, only these years I went many times after 20-21.00 (and even at 23.00 sometimes) home, worked 10-12 hours (2 shifts) without lunch, left each person not as expected (15-20 minutes at reception) , and an hour at the expense of his personal time, in order to have time to accept everyone.
Moreover, I already bought almost everything myself in the hospital’s dental office: from “needles” for treating tooth canals and light fillings to a dental unit and a lamp for light filling. And since the return from this almshouse is smaller and smaller every year, in recent months the population has received the same doctor that you, Nina, come across in your city: I’m not interested in taking a long time, I want to go home to my family ... Maybe , it was the first time in these 4 years that I began to respect myself at the expense of future not-so-satisfied patients? But who told you that even a little ex-good doctor should endure the humiliation of the system? Some officials say, “Is it hard? “Leave the medicine.” So I imagined how thousands of sad doctors across the country left the healthcare system at once. In the meantime, we will "pedal, while ..."
I read the questions and answers of the doctor and marvel ... Everyone would have such a doctor. I have had a problem with teeth (fluorosis) since childhood, my teeth are very fragile. 4 days ago 46 teeth were removed from below ((The tooth was with pins and the flux started. An X-ray showed that there was “emptiness” between the roots. Can’t it be cured ?! Teeth are an important part of the body.
Hello Jeanne! I think that here either the inflammatory process between the roots, or perforation of the root as a result of a doctor’s mistake. In any case, the tactics of each dentist are individual. It’s not always possible to save such teeth, sometimes dentists take up work to save the tooth, but there is a complication after a complication, and the money does not come back. In budget dentistry, the option of free preservation of such teeth is reduced to zero, and private dentistry does not often guarantee a retreat of complex teeth with various forms of periodontitis or its exacerbation, but success or positive dynamics is met with enviable regularity. Therefore, without seeing your clinical case with your own eyes, it is difficult to assess the prospect of preserving the extracted tooth, but you correctly noticed that the tooth is an important part of the body, in principle, it is a full-fledged organ. For all people, this is the guarantee of health and fullness in every sense. The condition of the teeth (number, crown height, shape, position, etc.) determines in many cases the opportunity to take place in life: from the worker to the president. I am sure that it is not worth explaining the fact that a healthy smile is largely money, success, career, love. The fact that now there is an opportunity to improve the condition of teeth with the help of modern technologies (crowns, veneers, implants, etc.) is a big plus. But it’s best to manipulate your own teeth, rather than replace the removed tooth with an artificial one, although advanced technologies, when the price of the issue is from 50-100 thousand rubles for one implanted tooth, can replace even your own completely.
Removed a tooth on Monday, 8 below. Terribly ill. The doctor said there was a cyst at the root. 4 days I suffered, the pain did not go away. Went on the fourth day, she said that it was an alveolitis. She gave me an injection, but I still felt as if alive, yelling, as if they were cutting me. She put a medicine in my wound, she says, it will resolve itself. The pain never goes away.
Hello! At the moment, I do not see anything “illegal” by the dentist. The fact is that not a single patient is safe from alveolitis, but according to your words, the doctor tries to help you by conducting anti-inflammatory therapy. The only thing that can somehow hint at possible errors is the inability to achieve persistent anesthesia. But here I would like to know all the circumstances of this issue, so I will leave this problem open. Let me explain: ideally, anesthesia should act so that the patient does not hurt. This is the standard, this is the norm, but in certain situations it can be difficult to achieve it. I will not go into these details, therefore I will say only one thing: carefully monitor the dynamics of the next few days and think less about bad things. I think that your attending physician is able to control the situation and make further healing of the hole as comfortable as possible.
Hello. Three days ago, the wisdom tooth was removed, but it broke. The doctor was picking for a long time, but he could not find the root. He said he would bother, he would get sick - you would come to the picture, we’ll see. While, it seems, nothing hurts, heals. The question is: if there is still something left, then when does it usually start to bother? Maybe go to the picture and calm down, or if nothing got sick right away, then everything is in order?
Hello! I can understand, in principle, a dentist, but at the moment I am on the patient’s side. I am writing as is. I have heard such stories many times from the lips of doctors and patients who are offered to wait, and doctors often say the phrase: “Most likely, the root itself will come out.” This is a vicious practice, and now I explain why.
On the one hand, the likelihood that a left root will lead to serious complications in the future is not too high, since there is often a tendency to “evacuate” the root, although this often takes years. However, leaving the root in the well after removal is a fact of complication during removal. If the doctor does nothing to eliminate the consequences, but there are all the possibilities for this (satisfactory state of your health, etc.), then this is a violation of the treatment process. Leaving the infected root leads to either immediate or delayed complications (periostitis, osteomyelitis, abscess, etc.) in about 30-40% of cases. If a “healthy” root has broken off, and the doctor has extracted infected roots (with cysts, granulomas, etc.) from the hole, then the risk is less, but it still remains. It makes no sense to hope for a drainage system in the form of a hole after removal, since it can happen under good circumstances that this is a long-term “ventilation” for pus, since the hole may not completely “close”, waiting for the body to tear off the top of the undeleted root.
I propose the best option: contact another maxillofacial surgeon and remove the chip after diagnosis from the picture. It often happens that another hot pursuit specialist does the job much faster than the previous one. Thanks for the question.
Hello! I read all the requests and comments, it didn’t get any easier: I feel sorry for people, and now myself. The lower 6 was removed, blood flowed 5 hours after removal, an increase in the gums was palpated behind the cheek. The tooth was filled, but was ill. The doctor drilled, said, we removed, the root rotted, plus in the picture I saw a cyst. Now the second day after removal, the upper teeth also hurt, and on the opposite side, there is something yellow-white on the wound. The temperature rose to 37. Sick tired: there was a broken leg 6 months ago, removed the nail on the same leg. The tooth began to hurt, I thought it would be treated - pulled out. Maybe an antibiotic to drink? Thanks in advance. And yet, when you press the upper jaw lower - also a pain, and quite strong.
I also forgot to write: I stopped the bleeding with peroxide, poured it on cotton wool and applied it.Probably hurt it? All health, do not be sick!
I report. I was at the dentist, examined, found an empty hole, processed, put a tampon with medicine. Now what? Herpes spilled out on the lip, a lump on the gum, so it can be felt behind the cheek. I spread herpes with acyclovir. The doctor said rinse with soda solutions. Exciting increase in gum. 3 days after removal has passed.
But the doctor forbade me to rinse soda and peroxide. He says that it is useless and only irritation will be. Said miramistin should or chlorhexidine. And really. Miramistin is better, chlorhexidine is also good, but it does not suit me. Dermatitis spills from his face. And the hole after removal should not hurt. The pain should subside every hour. Everything else should be alarming, and urgently to a doctor.
Hello, Natalia! Regarding your extracted tooth, I can say the following. The dentist diagnosed your “dry hole” in time - a possible harbinger of alveolitis. After drug treatment, it almost always becomes much better. Regarding the lips, you can be calm: often (even in my patients) such a reaction manifests itself against the background of a general deterioration in well-being, stress, and a decrease in immunity. Usually, the treatment that your doctor has prescribed is enough. As for soda solutions, I do not quite agree, but some dentists publish data on the success of such home therapy, so it is difficult to suggest anything else without seeing you and the removal result.
I think that the gums are enlarged due to traumatic removal - this, in fact, is inflammation. Do not confuse it with an infectious process with alveolitis. With an injury, the gum always increases slightly in volume, and the doctor could form it a little roughly.
3 days after removal to assess the condition of the "evenness" of the gums - this is not enough. I think that you should monitor: temperature, swelling, severe pain, putrid odor. If this does not occur, then you can safely expect recovery, and the shape of the gingival margin in the removal zone should be formed in the right form within 2-3 weeks, although sometimes it takes a longer time - up to 1-3 months. Health to you!
They immediately removed 2 teeth on my lower jaw, a wisdom tooth and a small tooth (4?). The doctor twice could not do anesthesia, another doctor came, did it 3 times. Teeth removed. The next day, a flux appeared around a small tooth and the whole jaw ached a lot. I went to the doctor. Again the exact same story with pain relief. Triple shot. Mouth not open with pain. He cleaned, poked deeply and painfully, already burst into tears. Today, a wad of medicine fell out of the wound of a small tooth, hellish pain appeared. I drink ketans and Flemoxin. The doctor called for an examination. But, realizing that there would be three more injections in the same place, I did not go. A white film appeared on the hole of a small tooth. Not putrid, not gray. The gum is cut laterally, with a bloody stain. The jaw aches a lot. The pain merges from the temple to the chin. But neither pus, nor temperature, nor smell. Maybe I have pain after brushing? How long should a tooth hurt? Is white and white plaque in the hole a norm?
Hello! Usually a light coating over the hole is a sign that fits into the norm. Severe pain can result from traumatic removal. Also, the possible effect of a “dry hole” is added to this, since protection in the form of a medicine fell out of the wound. In principle, the insertion of drugs into the hole is not encouraged by many dentists, but for patients themselves it is often a comfortable option for healing. Loss of bandage almost always causes pain, but they usually pass within 3-5 days due to epithelialization of the hole from the bottom and walls. It takes longer and more painfully. But you can completely create your own blood clot, and usually even an infiltration anesthesia is enough.A blood clot is the best protector against infection. If food (or just an infection) gets into a dry hole and rot begins, then alveolitis may develop. It is important for you to adjust the treatment. I advise you to change your doctor if you were frightened by the tactics about anesthesia, and do everything according to the rules. Have a good treatment.
Hello. I have such a problem: they removed my tooth, 7-ku. That evening, I formed something white in the hole, and the next morning there was some smell from the hole. What could it be?
Hello! Despite the fact that light plaque is a manifestation of the norm, it’s definitely worth checking the hole, perhaps it is a banal “trash” for food. This often happens if part of the blood clot (or all of it) falls out after removal. I must say right away that quite a lot of people tolerate the healing of the hole after tooth extraction without a full clot, but most often there are still certain problems - from severe pain in the future to the development of alveolitis. I think that you should be safe and go to the dentist for help. Thanks for the question.
Hello! Two teeth were removed: 7 (simple) and 8 (complex). Every two days the surgeon changed the medicine, he himself appointed to come. Now he has gone on vacation. Leaving, he said to come and change the medicine. I came, but the GP said that there was no need to change. This will disturb the wound, will heal longer. But the medicine and gauze (or cotton wool), which covered the medicine, will fall out as it heals. There were no pains yet, today a little discomfort. The surgeon will be released only in November. So, I need advice: wait for the loss of cotton wool, or go to another doctor?
Hello! I think that you have come up with different approaches regarding postoperative treatment. At the moment, there is no cause for concern, since the dentist who adjusts the treatment actively monitors the wound healing process. Definitely: the first and second doctors have their own truth. It all depends on the drug that was installed in the hole. Many dentists generally do not recommend putting medications, considering that the hole heals well and with its full clot. I advise you to let go of the situation and observe the dynamics for several days. I am sure that it will not change for the worse. Thanks for the question.
Hello, a week ago I removed the wisdom tooth, figure eight. The tooth was recumbent, the extraction lasted a little over an hour. After the tooth extraction, it didn’t hurt at all, the cheek was slightly swollen for 2 days, but in general everything was painless, I felt fine. After 3 days I went for a visit, everything is ok. And now I constantly smell in my mouth, there are no other unpleasant symptoms. Could it be an alveolitis?
Hello! I think that it is unlikely, although in rare cases, similar initial signs of alveolitis occurring in a compensated form take place. Most likely, this is a violation of hygiene in this area - it goes without saying that it is not possible to qualitatively remove plaque from all surfaces on the last teeth near the hole, since you simply protect this area from injury.
There is also a factor in getting food into the hole and its rotting; therefore, it is important here to adjust the home principles of hygiene and postoperative care of the hole. Be sure to consult your dentist and analyze the situation. I think it will definitely benefit. Thanks for the question!
Hello! Removed root, 4 on top. It was sealed, the nerve removed. They deleted it without a picture, the doctor said that so everything is clear, everything is fine, we are deleting. But a month and a half ago, a fistula appeared near this root. The doctor cut me off with scissors, said that I need to take a picture, and then it will be visible, increase or delete.And I didn’t, because he did not bother me. Then a little gum started to swell and I went to the surgeon. He deleted without a snapshot, said everything is fine. Appointed only a rinse of soda. Four days passed, and at my place of removal the lower 6 tooth aches a little and hurts. There was no traffic jam on the third day, the hole was large, a white-yellow spot was at the bottom, the upper gum was swollen and hurts when touched. And today on the fourth day some acne popped up on the palate, maybe it's stomatitis? Very worried. Thank you very much!
Hello! I think that you should go to the dentist, as the signs look like either the "dry hole" effect, or already starting alveolitis. Once again, it does not fit to conduct an examination of the hole - you may need to treat it with anesthesia, followed by correction of home treatment. Without seeing the clinical situation with my own eyes, it’s hard for me to suggest anything more specific, so for now we’ll confine ourselves to visiting the dentist so that I don’t think. Thanks for the question.
Hello. September 19 removed the top 6 with chronic periodontitis. They removed it for about 15 minutes, as the tooth sank deep. After removal, everything was fine, I didn’t even take painkillers. But it worries me that almost a month has passed, and the hole is not completely overgrown, and I still feel it. I went to the doctor a week ago, said that everything is fine, heals. A few days later she goes on vacation. I don’t know what to do ... Wait until it grows, or go to another specialist?
Hello! Judging by your story, you have positive dynamics, and the formation of the gums after removal occurs within 3-4 months, less often - 4-6. Therefore, be patient and wait for the design of the gums during this time. I am sure that you will be fine!
Thank you very much!
Hello. On Wednesday, she removed a tooth from the top left, the last in front of the tooth with wisdom. The removal was quick, then the tooth also almost did not hurt, but on the same day a white spot appeared on the inside of the gum, which causes a slightly unpleasant sensation when swallowing. Because of what could it appear, and what to do with it?
Hello! Difficulty swallowing is almost always observed when the lower wisdom teeth are removed. As for the "white spot", I'm not quite sure that I can explain its origin without inspection. I think that you should contact your dentist in order to clarify the situation in person at the moments that disturb you. Thanks for the question.
Hello, today I removed the bottom 8, put a sponge in the wound. Tell me, if it falls out at night, then what to do?
Hello! If the sponge falls out, you should consult your doctor the next day and adjust the treatment. This is due to the fact that the dentist “insures” the hole against alveolitis (ingestion of microbes, food and its decay in the hole). Best not to risk it. Thanks for the question.
The upper right molar was removed, sutured, then removed. Now a piece of leather dangles there ... Is that how it should be? When the left one was removed, this was not and no sutures were made.
Hello! I think that you mean the gum, in which integrity is broken. It is possible that a traumatic removal would take place, and the doctor did not pay attention to the neat placement of the gingival mucosa with a decrease in the lumen of the hole. If you can’t make a wound accurate only by drawing its edges together, then sutures are applied. Healing can take place normally in this situation, but the formation of the gums may take a long time and become not the most comfortable for a long time (even from the point of view of the same language, which seems to strive to get into the wound).I think that you should correct the gingival margin with your doctor or other doctor so that this situation no longer provokes unnecessary problems. Thanks for the question.
Hello! 6 days ago, the seventh tooth was removed below. When the anesthesia was gone, the pain was unbearable, fell asleep only after 3 tablets of tempalgin. At the moment, the pain continues to bother, it is aching and unbearable. It feels like the whole jaw hurts and gives to the temple and to the head. The hole, like, without signs of inflammation. What could it be? Or is it normal healing?
Hello! This is not the norm. There are two options: either alveolitis begins, or there is an adjacent tooth, in which inflammation of the "nerve" progresses. The search for a causative tooth is possible from the image - in general, it would be good to take an X-ray of the extraction area, too, since there may be fragments in the hole. Of course, I believe in the honesty of your doctor, but it is always worth checking.
So your situation is far from normal, so to find the reason, despite the complexity of this point, it is absolutely necessary. After diagnosis, treatment is prescribed. Thanks for the question.
Good afternoon! Five days ago, the lower molar was removed, it was removed very hard: hollowed, drilled. On the second or third day there was a white coating and not quite a pleasant aroma. The hole, it seems, is tightened, in a chaotic manner, but the smell does not disappear. First, the entire lower side hurt, especially the two teeth between which he was. Yesterday it started to hurt, and I also climbed my tongue - when I try to suck a little, a slightly salty taste appears, and the gum under the extracted tooth is slightly swollen. Tell me, please, what could it be, and what are my next steps? I cannot go to the doctor before Monday. Thank you in advance.
Hello! I think that there is a place to begin alveolitis. To confirm the diagnosis, you should contact the dentist on duty, there are also private clinics that work on weekends. Even a private office does not refuse emergency patients. Almost every city has the opportunity to find a doctor on the weekend. Thanks for the question.
Good afternoon. On August 28, she removed her lower tooth - 4, the clot was normal, but the gum was swollen and the hole did not heal for a long time. Today, after 5 cleanings of the granuloma, the wound has almost healed, but the cheek still has a painful red gum swelling and a small fistula in the hole. Neighboring teeth (5 and 3) were also opened, cleaned, put temporary fillings. The doctor prescribed ciprolet, but I have an allergy to it, although I used to take it. The drug was canceled. What can be replaced? I myself was exhausted and I exhausted the doctor, although it was not he who removed the tooth.
Hello! Drugs are usually not prescribed via the Internet, since you can also “not guess”, as in your case, and I personally do not welcome sabotage through this form of communication with patients. What you described does not fall into the category of emergency cases, but you should check the situation of gum healing directly in the dentist’s chair. I don’t think that the reason here is precisely in the hole: it is necessary to keep the neighboring teeth in mind (those that are at the stage of treatment), since if there really is a “fistula”, then you do not need to check the hole.
As for the antibiotic, the situation here is even more complicated. Choosing an antibiotic to help the main treatment is extremely important. If you are really allergic to Ciprolet, then antimicrobials from the fluoroquinolone group are not suitable for you. In addition to them, an excellent antibacterial effect can be obtained with antibiotics of other groups, for example, Amoxiclav, Sumamed, etc.
Personally, in practice I use these drugs, depending on the severity of the situation, that is, individually. Therefore, I ask you to definitely consult a dentist in order to exclude possible problems.
Good afternoon, removed a week ago 7-ku below, with a cyst and fistula. Everything went well, nothing hurt, even after the anesthesia passed. The clot has successfully formed. However, on the 5th day there was an unpleasant smell from the hole, on the 6th day it became completely unpleasant, because there is a taste of pus in the mouth, but the gum is pink, there is no inflammation, nothing hurts. The clot partially departed, I suspect that the infection could have come from the side of the hole from the fistula ... I make baths from the marigold marigolds. What should be done in such a situation?
Hello! Most likely, this is not about alveolitis, but about turning the hole into a kind of "garbage", no matter how it sounds unflattering. The clot is partially destroyed, so the hole can now accumulate in itself the remnants of food that rot in the wound. To check this and take the necessary measures, you should contact your dentist for help. After the wound has been treated, the recommendations will be adjusted. Not sure if what you use is perfect in your clinical situation.
Svyatoslav Gennadievich! A little off topic, but maybe tell me? He treated a diseased incisor tooth in several visits, and teeth on his right and left have been removed for a long time. The doctor said that for prosthetics it is advisable to keep this tooth, removed the nerve, changed the medicine several times. In the depths of the gums there was something like a ball, which when I pressed down, it gave out in the incisor tooth, as if some pin were not sharp pressing. The control physician said in a control shot that nothing could hurt. Six months later, I decided to still remove this tooth, I was afraid that after prosthetics it might hurt and all prosthetics will have to start all over again.
After the extraction of the tooth 2 months have already passed, and here's what is interesting - when pressing on the gum, the same feeling occurs, but there is no tooth, and there are no neighboring teeth either. But when the tooth was removed, the surgeon said that I had exostosis on the gum, and it should be removed with prosthetics. And the doctor-therapist answered my question why my gum on the incisor is swollen and slightly protruding, answered that this was because the incisor took over the entire load of missing teeth. If this is exostosis, is it visible in the picture and can it hurt when pressure is applied to the gum?
Hello! I’m almost sure that during palpation, your gums are injured from the inside by the uneven (maybe sharp) edge of the hole. At the time of removal, a part of the outer wall of the alveoli broke off, which in the end is now perceived by you as pain when pressed. Exostosis is a perfectly acceptable diagnosis in this situation. In the picture, it will practically not be visible, because this is your native bone, the irregularities of the hole may appear, but the picture will not be complete. Therefore, answering your main question, I will say this: exostosis does not hurt, but creates a microtrauma from the inside, that is, the gum or transitional fold area hurts.
I will not discuss or condemn the doctor’s approach to preserving the incisor: it didn’t work it didn’t work out that way. Also, I will not suppose in absentia whether “swelling” was associated with tooth overload. Let us leave this on the conscience of the general practitioner.
If you want to be prosthetized, then in the presence of exostosis it is worth removing.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm worried in vain. But 3 days ago I removed the top 6. 2 days blood oozed from the hole, and today it is a brackish liquid. Desna hurts all the time. Analgesics do not help. Removal was difficult. A hammer was used several times (I don’t know what to call it differently). At the edges closer to the center there is a white coating, and in the very center there is a dark red clot. But the gums and cheekbones hurt. The mouth is also a little painful to open. I already removed the teeth, and this was not.
I forgot to clarify, it was the root.
Hello! You describe everything that is within normal limits, except for severe pain and difficulty opening your mouth.I did not even think that after the removal of the upper sixth teeth, the mouth may begin to open poorly. So from afar, without seeing you, I can’t say for sure what to expect next: good or bad. After a complicated removal, especially since such an ancient and largely risky method, anything can happen: in Soviet times, when such removal using a surgical hammer and chisel were widespread, there were cases of even an injury to the jaw, even to the point of creating a crack, not to mention about pushing the roots into soft tissues, maxillary sinuses and so on.
I don’t think it’s worthwhile to seek the advice of a doctor who uses such a traumatic method in his work, but it is definitely worth consulting a professional (maxillofacial surgeon or dental surgeon of the highest category). Good luck
Hello! A week ago, they removed my upper tooth, four (if I'm not mistaken). The poor doctor was tormented for 2 hours, and yet the tooth gave up. He inserted some medicine and a gauze swab into the hole and said to rinse with chlorhexidine. After the anesthesia was gone, aching pains began. On the third day I could neither eat nor sleep, I had to endure the weekend and sit on painkillers. On the fifth day, I went again to the doctor, they cleaned and washed the hole, two doctors stood over me and ... did not know what better to do with me! As a result, they laid (heard the words of the doctors) alveoli and again a gauze swab. Sumamed, nimesil and chlorhexidine were prescribed. A day later the pain again, aching and twitching ... The gum swelled on the adjacent teeth, and in the place of the extracted tooth there appeared an abscess similar to a blood pimple. It seems to me that he is the one who hurts the most now. Two such “acne” appeared on the lower canine under the extracted tooth and also ache. What can be done? Or again to the doctor? Thanks in advance!
I forgot to say that a dry hole.
Hello! Rinsing with chlorhexidine and some other points indicated by you, I personally do not approve. As for the description of the situation, an internal examination is needed here, but for now I can only assume that the doctors, for example, did not remove the remnants of the roots, fragments of the destroyed tooth, did not correct the exposed sections of the alveoli bone, the protruding inter-root septum, had poor curettage, and forgot at the bottom of the hole granulation (rarely, but it happens). This is about possible omissions. However, it can be said that you were “healed” in terms of prescriptions (for example, chlorhexidine and the introduction of drugs into the well). The bitter experience of my colleagues shows that not all people benefit from “plugged” holes with drugs based on iodoform, thymol, propolis, eugenol, etc.
I would advise you to contact another dental surgeon for many reasons. But do not be offended by your treating doctors, they did what they could. In any case, a different opinion on postoperative wound management will only be in favor, not harm. Good luck
Hello! On the first of September, the bottom left eight was removed. The operation was very complicated. I entered at 15.00, left at 18.00. Three hours removed! The tooth was lying right on the nerve. They injected a double dose of pain medication and it still hurt. Removed in pieces. Be that as it may, deleted. They said about the red clot - that this is normal, but I did not know that it can be rinsed. There was a trismus, and sat on an anesthetic. In general, by September 15th it was no longer painful, and I did not drink painkillers anymore. He began to chew on the left side and rinse his mouth - and, apparently, the clot was rinsed.
Around September 20, no matter how we sing, the pain begins. And he chewed on the right side, but still the pain came. For about an hour I was just lying and could not do anything - it feels like a nerve in an adjacent tooth was sore. Usually after an hour the pain went away - and so on until the next meal. I suffered this for about a week and went to the doctor. There was no strength to endure.She looked and said that the root of the adjacent tooth was hanging in my air - when the red clot was there, it covered the root, and now it is open and I just need to wait until it drags on and take Calcemin-d. She covered a hole for me with a newcomer, and I left.
In principle, after 2-3 weeks the tooth healed. I don’t know already, it was delayed there, or what, but now 3 months have passed, and the tooth does not hurt, even when I chew on the left side. But it bothers me that there is a fossa, and it is very deep, still not tightened with bone tissue. After each meal, rinse the hole. And it feels like when I touch my tongue, the size of the pit does not change.
Please tell me is this normal? And whether to wait yet, or go to the doctor, and what is usually done in such cases?
Hello! Judging by the fact that more than 3 months have passed since the removal, the hole in the area of the former wisdom tooth took approximately 70-80%. Bone atrophy is underway: this area does not function, and the bone-gingival crest takes its final relief. I’m not sure that you subjectively can accurately understand whether the size of the fossa changes with each next week. This process is very slow, it can take up to 5-6 months, and with complex and traumatic removals - even more time.
As for the 7 tooth, you should not be afraid: the gum has formed so much that it closes its cervical region. Good luck and health!
Hello. A tooth was removed on Wednesday, half of it remained. They took a picture, they said that the previous doctor left something there when he removed the nerves, in general, the removal, he said, was of medium difficulty. Removed from the roots, tormented horror like me. He sutured, said that there were big roots, but it seems to me that he just tore my gum. In general, he did a clot, came home, drank pain medication. The next day I also drank it in the morning - because my gums hurt and pain hurt in my ear. On day 3, there was a white coating in the hole, the pain is the same, giving in the ear. On the 3rd day I went to the doctor, but there was another doctor, he said that he expected that it would be worse. I put cotton wool inside with medicine and told me to come to my doctor tomorrow. But the pain remained, I’m already afraid, God forbid, infection. How can I be, what could it be? I followed all the recommendations: do not eat on this side, do not rinse.
I forgot: I feel the gum swelling, but the swelling itself is not visible.
Hello! I think that this is the result of a difficult removal: injury + not quite correct prescribing. Urgently consult a dentist and examine the hole for “dry hole” and alveolitis.
Hello. Tell me, please, almost 2 months ago I removed the upper right wisdom tooth, today I felt something in the hole with my tongue after eating. I thought that the food got there, tried to rinse it - it doesn’t work. Feels like something soft. Then, in the end, she picked it up with a fingernail and pulled out something that looked like skin, soft. There is no pain, but the blood has gone. Tongue I feel that there is still left in the hole. What could it be?
Hello! Most likely, the dentist put the drug in the hole - it is possible that you removed this “flagellum” or “sponge” with your fingernail. It is also possible that you tried to pick up with your fingernail the already formed granulation tissue inside the well, which is formed during normal healing (epithelization sometimes takes a lot of time). Be that as it may, if the blood has gone, it is still useful to consult a dentist and examine the hole, as there are risks of disturbing the normal course of its healing.
Hello, dear Svyatoslav Gennadevich! 5 days ago, the upper fourth tooth was removed. A clot has formed. 2 days there were minor pains and a little cheek swelled. Now nothing bothers. But I am worried about a clot that has almost disappeared.That is, he was, but every day it becomes less and less. Actively rinsed with nothing. Now there is a small hole in the hole and the food gets clogged there. When I suck out (can I do this?) Food residues, then the edge of the gum moves from the outside, is this normal? When I say something, it’s as if “air is walking” in the hole. I make baths with Loroben. Is it worth fearing the development of alveolitis? Or does the hole heal in this way? So far, there are no symptoms, except for a slight bad breath.
Hello! When there is no blood clot in the hole, it often makes healing difficult, and the hole can become a kind of container for food particles and bacteria from the oral cavity, which is also not very good. You write about the movement of the gums - this may indicate that the hole formed by the doctor is not quite accurate, that is, the edges of the wound are not brought together.
Alveolitis is no longer to be afraid, since its favorite time of occurrence is 3-4 days after tooth extraction. If the situation worsens, I recommend that you consult a dentist for advice in a chair. Thanks for the question.
Hello, December 6th, the 17th tooth was removed, it all crumbled, but still it was removed and there were no fragments. The edges of the gums inflamed near the adjacent teeth. A few days later I came to check the removal, the edema did not come down, they told me that I had alveolitis of the socket. They cleaned everything, but the swelling became even greater, and did not go away within 2 days. The doctor said that edema is normal, because complex removal, prescribed lincomycin in capsules 3 times a day, and after cleaning, apply metrogil on the cheek. The third day went, as I drink medicine, but the edema does not go away. I’ll clarify that there is no pain, the temperature does not increase, the face also did not swell, but only the gum behind the cheek in the area of the adjacent tooth. What to do? There is a clot, yellowish color, no bad breath, but discomfort behind the cheek due to edema. I'm scared, tell me what to do?
Hello! After complex removal (especially if you have had a curettage of the hole against the background of alveolitis) edema disappears slowly. Since the edema takes place in the area of the inflamed gum and does not cause asymmetry of the face, we can assume a slow process of gum restoration against the background of recommendations that are not quite suitable for you. I think that you should contact another doctor so that he examines the hole and, possibly, adjusted the treatment to obtain a positive result. For reference, I’ll say that edema on average disappears within 5-7 days, the main thing is that there should be a positive trend.
My tooth was removed in the summer. While the anesthesia worked, everything was fine, but when it began to move away, the gums ached. At home, a camomile was brewed and rinsed. Another dentist said to buy Trachisan tablets, because they remove the infection in the oral cavity and anesthetize well. Helped well, there were no complications.
Hello. Three days ago I was removed the lower right 8-ku, the removal was very painful. At the time of removal, the lymph node was slightly inflamed, after removal, the submandibular lymph nodes (on the right) became inflamed, because of them I can not open my mouth. Already three days have not decreased or increased, the temperature is constantly changing - from 36.6 to 37.8. When 37.8, the temple hurts ... Desna surprisingly quickly heals, does not hurt and does not swell, there is no redness either. I drink antibiotics. What should I do with the lymph nodes? It’s very difficult to get to the dentist, because I live in the wilderness, and the specialists here are not really here, they didn’t even say what to do. They only said that 2 hours is not there, that's all.
Hello! If your words are “written correctly”, then lymphadenitis, which accompanies the postoperative period, can be dangerous, especially when it exists in response to a persistent purulent process in the hole and surrounding tissues.To check this fact remotely seems impossible to you - you need a full-time examination by a doctor. Patients are often very subjective to any formations in the maxillofacial region, calling them more often incorrectly than correctly interpreting their disease. Moreover, you focus on temperature, inability to open your mouth, radiating pains in the temple, etc. Personally, I suspect, at least, alveolitis - it is possible that it forces the lymph nodes to participate in this, exacerbating the situation. But this is only an assumption, which is important to confirm (or refute) clinically at the dentist. Self-medication, I definitely will not advise you without knowing the exact nature and severity of the disease.
Hello, I have the lower tooth removed, 6th of December, 12.16. Before that, he fell ill with me, and the lymph node became inflamed. I went to the clinic, they removed my tooth. Today is the second day after this, a blood clot in the hole, is this the norm? Can I eat calmly? And then I worry, nothing hurts, only a slightly lymph node is still inflamed, and the cheek.
If the lymph node was inflamed after removal and before removal, will it pass? In a few days? So what is this? Answer, I have a panic.
And how much can I smoke after removal?
Hello! A blood clot in the well is the norm. It would be much worse if this clot were absent (it protects the well from infection and contributes to the healing process of the wound).
After tooth extraction, lymphadenitis disappears as the inflammatory process subsides, most often within 5-7 days. You can eat 3-4 hours after removal: the first 4-5 days it is advisable to limit yourself to soft food, and if possible try to chew the healthy side. If there is no positive dynamics (reduction of edema every day), then you should consult your dentist for a consultation.
Hello, Svyatoslav Gennadievich! I got 4 lower teeth removed. It was a stump, on the edges of which remained the remains of a tooth. Immediately he did not succumb to the exit and the doctor shook it from side to side, cutting the gum. As a result, the hole turned into a clearing. Blood went two days, periodically. Two fragments of the tooth were washed from there. The clot in my clearing became ash-colored and the smell of it nauseated me right up to the headache of toxicosis. On the evening of the third day, I removed this stink superficially, leaving the hole closed by this clot. It became easier the next morning. With all this, I can’t say that the removal site hurts me, although a sensation of a ball is present between the gum and the cheek. There are no tumors. Desna turns pink. It seems that there is not even ripple and lumbago. But smell and gray are present. There was no temperature. Reading all the comments, I realized that the alveolitis caught me. Today is 4 days after removal. I feel fine. But the anxiety in me can grow into critical anxiety and panic, since now the dentist will arrive only after three months, and local paramedics do not know these subtleties and will not do anything. And the thing is that I am in prison, where it is very difficult with medicine. All treatments are online only. Reading about the complications, I had a question: what to do in this case? How to cope with alveolitis in these conditions? I can order medicine from home. Save, DOC!
Update as of December 27, 2016. There was bleeding again tonight. The remainder of the clot fell out. Now I have a dry hole. When I move my mouth (eating, drinking tea, rinsing, or talking), aching pains with shooting begin. But after five minutes the pain recedes when I lie down and do not move. The temperature is not big. Measured for interest, 37. But not felt. I rinse five times a day with furacelin, plus three times with chamomile. I do not drink antibiotics. But there is amoxicillin. I can only get to the hospital on January 12th. What should I do all this time, MLC? There is a person who can clean the wound here, but he is not even a specialist. Self-taught, so to speak. Waiting for advice, DOCK!
Hello! Yes, I heard that medicine, and dentistry in particular, often in prisons is at the antediluvian level (except for vip-persons). Maybe that's why, judging by your description, the tooth was deleted roughly, in violation of the doctor’s technique, fragments were left (God forbid, the root tip remained - do not check without a picture). Due to the invasiveness of the procedure and the absence of stitches with hemostatic agents, there was secondary bleeding after removal. Such not very high quality tooth extractions are often complicated by alveolitis.
Generally speaking, in an open form, it is not customary to prescribe drugs over the Internet. But given your special circumstances, let's do this: I’ll just tell you what I use in my practice - not for treatment, but just for information)
Among antibiotics, I prescribe Amoxiclav, Cifran ST and Sumamed, depending on the severity of the situation. To treat wounds from traditional means, I prefer Metrogil Denta gel or Holisal gel, according to the instructions. Of particular interest to me is tetracycline eye ointment, 1%, which has a good effect on alveolitis, and at the same time costs a penny. It is difficult to apply, so it is used in professional not quite “traditional” dentistry, laying on a sterile gauze ball in large quantities, focusing on the size of the wound. It almost always helps during the day - this is a one-time action, the bacteria in the wound kill perfectly. I usually recommend refusing rinsing with furatsilin, offering as an alternative a decoction of chamomile. If an antibiotic is used, then only one (5-7 days - no less), one ointment or gel in a course. Hold the tetracycline ointment once on a gauze napkin on the wound for 10-15 minutes, and then only the next day, according to the situation.
If you left a tooth root in a wound, then even with drugs it will be difficult to treat alveolitis, since in addition to it there may be more serious complications.
I took the rest of the tooth with me. The root is whole. I can’t say that it is chipped. I went to the doctor, outlined what could happen. They looked at the computer, scratched their heads. From what they have, they prescribed me leflobact, 1 * 2 times, and ketoprofen, 1 at night. For 5 days. Miramistin and tetracycline are. I found antibiotics, amoxicillin. This is what is at the moment. The situation is like this. There were no severe unbearable pains yet. But a little shoots. Not swollen. Sensation as if the tooth had just been removed. Lymph nodes slightly hurt, but do not interfere. The fang nearby became more sensitive. The smell does not come from the hole, because I rinse something 12 times a day. Chamomile is also there, and in addition to furatsilin I drip peroxide. Tell me, MLC, from what is and what has been appointed, which scheme should I accept? Maybe change antibiotics? I lay the eye ointment before bedtime. God give you well-being in everything !!!
Hello! What you described is encouraging. If the root of the extracted tooth has a holistic apex, then everything is fine: the lower 4 teeth almost always have one root (rarely, they separate at the end, but you would understand that something is wrong). Therefore, at the most important point, everything is fine.
As for the prescriptions, I would say this to my patient: Ketoprofen is anti-inflammatory and analgesic, however, with some delayed action; Leflobact does not have a clause about alveolitis in the instructions, but in general, a good antibacterial drug, moreover, helps with sinusitis (sinusitis), and this is just an infection in the maxillofacial region. I do not prescribe these drugs myself, although I think that this budget option will improve the situation.
But it seemed to me that you no longer describe the symptoms of alveolitis. Your physical condition is close to normal, but from the point of view of the psychoemotional one there is a suspicion that you are unnecessarily experiencing this situation and listening too much to each breath of the body.I would suggest this option to my patient: leave Ketoprofen and Leflobact. If the patient has already begun to use the antibiotic, then finish it with the required minimum of 5 days, and if he has not started, then it is not worth starting, since Leflobact is a general antimicrobial drug. Furatsilin is not necessary, peroxide is also not worth it, as it can be worse. I have nothing against chamomile, tetracycline ointment 1 time per day, no more than 2 applications. So there should be no "overdose" of chemistry. 2 drugs for "internal treatment" and prevention of complications (+1 if an antibiotic is used) and 2 local ones (rinses, if they help, and ointment for the gums).
Rinsing in the amount of 12 procedures per day once again suggests that you approach the issue too hard. My wards, if they make oral baths and (or) rinses, then without fanaticism, no more than 4-5 times a day, mainly after eating, which is important. Slowly by the New Year bring the treatment to nothing: let the hole heal naturally, this is inherent in the body in nature.
I understood everything, DOC! Maybe I'm really very worried about this + I read on the Internet. But this is all due to the conditions in which I am ... I have not yet begun to accept anything. Waiting for your advice. Yesterday I was laying ointment. Today, it seems like it’s even better inside. The pain did not intensify. Tumors too. Then today I will put the ointment again and will not take anything else. In addition to rinsing. I will also reduce them. And tomorrow we’ll decide on our well-being.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, DOCK! I drink what the doctors prescribed. Everything stands in one place, no deterioration.
Hello! Help me please. On December 28, the 8th was removed from below, the doctor prescribed Tsifran, Diazolin and Ketanov for pain. I drink everything. The clot did not form. 2 days there was a constant aching pain, swelling of the cheeks and temperature 37. The tonsils were swollen severely. I noticed a white odorless smell. On December 30, she went to the doctor, she said that the hole “is not healing well”, scraped everything from there without anesthesia (I cried), put the medicine and pressed the swab for 20 minutes. Everything became better immediately, and the day was all right, the swelling was a little asleep, the pain disappeared completely, the jaw opened as it should, but the temperature was 36.8 and the lymphadenitis remained. Today, on New Year's Eve, the most swollen tonsil began to hurt, Ketanov drank. A few hours later, when she went to bed, there was a wild pain in the place of the extracted tooth. It became painful to swallow again. Ketanov drank again. The hole is dark red-brown, sort of. I made a small scraping with a cotton swab - it has a red tint on it, it smells of medicine, menthol. Tell me what to do, because the holidays are coming. Why did the pain appear and what to do with lymphadenitis, is this a bad sign? And yet, on January 19, I’m flying to a hot country, I’m very afraid that suddenly it will not heal up to this point.
I’ll clarify: when the tooth was removed, the tooth had one root, its very tip initially remained in the hole, but the doctor got it, put it on the tooth and thus “folded” it completely.
Hello! Despite the fact that the doctor compared the fragment of the root with the main part of the extracted tooth, it is best to check the hole for left carious walls and (God forbid) fragments of the roots. The rest of the symptoms all come down to alveolitis complicated by lymphadenitis. It is imperative that you see a dentist to determine the exact cause of alveolitis and conduct its adequate treatment. It is important to find out why alveolitis progresses, enhancing lymphadenitis. The situation is not very good, therefore, I recommend that you undergo a checkup with another doctor to have a different opinion about what is happening (sometimes the doctor conducting the treatment is not ready to agree with the probability of the mistakes made).
They pulled out 22 teeth and he was ill for two days, he did not let him sleep.Now it doesn’t hurt, but some kind of floating ball appeared, is this normal? But you press - it does not hurt, everything is fine.
Hello! I think that you feel so the gum swelling (gingival papilla, as an option), which in such situations gradually passes on its own and with minimal unpleasant manifestations. A less likely option, which, however, should not be ruled out, is an adjacent tooth, which the dentist missed, having removed, in his opinion, the most suitable tooth decayed by caries. Perhaps, near the adjacent tooth, purulent edema is just beginning, which falls under the characteristic "floating ball". It is worth checking the hypothesis data with the dentist, since it is impossible to say for sure without examination. Thanks for the question!
Hello, Doctor! On January 4, an extreme molar was removed on the right, below. Removing complex, said to have complex roots. At first the pains were severe. The whole right side of the face and the head and throat hurt. Prescribed by a doctor Xefokam helped poorly. On the advice of a friend, a pharmacist took Dolak. Initially withstood a maximum of 4 hours. Then the intervals became longer. Yesterday it seemed to me that it was better, I went to the dentist who was removing the tooth. He said alveolitis. He took off the seams. Then furatsilin and some bitter medicine. He said: to hold for 30-40 minutes, how to withstand. I understand that he removed the clot. He appointed Parodontax as before, and also added Metrogil-Dent. For some reason, he said to apply the ointment before meals. Which is not entirely clear. I think that there is no clot there now, and when I apply a tampon with ointment at the removal site, pain appears. It seems that the wound was disturbed there, and I drank Dolak again at night, and Ksefokam in the morning. Now it’s tolerable. I read a lot of your answers, and so I realized that you do not welcome the appointment of Chlorhexidine. I’m afraid that my problems do not turn out to be “healed”, as you wrote above. She told the doctor at the reception about Chlorhexidine that he was too aggressive. To which he replied that this is exactly what we need so that he removes all the harmful microflora. And as for the wound, I realized that it would still heal, even if the “dry hole”, only the healing would be longer. Thank you in advance for your response!
Hello! Perhaps the doctor’s tactics were chosen incorrectly, so the effect of the “dry” hole was not long in coming. I do not welcome Chlorhexidine for rinsing, but this does not mean that it does not help in a number of individual cases - otherwise dentists would not have been prescribed in such a massive amount for home treatment. He is simply too aggressive, and not suitable for everyone.
Despite these difficulties, the wound will heal - there is no doubt about it, only the terms will be stretched. To understand whether you have been healed or not, you need an examination in the chair. Until the hole is examined, it is difficult to say anything and, especially, to criticize the dentist and his methods. According to your conclusions, the doctor seems guilty of the problem, but you should always understand carefully the situation, nuances are possible.
Dent's metrogil before meals is possible, and after meals - after 30 minutes. In principle, the doctor did not deceive you here. Some methods (for example, furatsilin) from the piggy bank of the past dental surgeons, but often they also bring positive results. If you still have negative dynamics, then you should urgently change the doctor and treat complications after tooth extraction with another specialist.
Good evening. 2 months ago, I removed the lower wisdom tooth. On the 2nd day a tooth fragment sticking out of the wound, I carefully removed it. Everything healed well, but for a couple of weeks I have noticed a small reddish soft lump just above the place of removal, and today I noticed that there is something white on the top of the lump inside. It does not hurt, there is some discomfort, especially if you press.What could it be? I’m already afraid of dentists to a swoon, and now again I’m not my own from the thought that they will cut something again, clean, sew up ((
Update as of January 13, 1717: today I’m already looking, there is something like a hole on this lump, it doesn’t hurt, and I suspect that pus comes from there. Tomorrow to the dentist, all shaking in anticipation ((Maybe this can be cured somehow at home?
Update as of January 18 ,.17: it turned out that the dentist left fragments of a tooth in the gum, and inflammation started from them. On the 13th, after the picture, it’s kind of like they cleaned it out, prescribed antibiotic treatment and rinsed with chlorhedin. The first 2 days everything was fine, but yesterday (on the 15th) some discomfort was felt all over the cheek and in the wound. And today I look - a yellowish pouch is visible from the wound, it seems to be pus again. What can this be connected with? My strengths no longer go to the dentists, well, at least hang yourself ((
Hello! I think that in case of ongoing problems it is worth taking the picture again, that is, in this context it will already be a control one. So you determine the quality of the wound treatment. If something remains in the wound again, then the reason is clear, as if in the palm of your hand - you should contact a professional. Cysts and granulomas may be left at the bottom of the hole. This is rare, but worth checking. The fistulous course cannot function just like that.
I would also examine the roots of a neighboring tooth from an image for an inflammatory process. The reason should be somewhere nearby, it is often difficult to find, but without it, removing the symptoms is not a good idea. I sketched your guesses, but you still have to look for the cause of the problems (if they continue) in the dentist’s chair, preferably with an intelligent doctor. Diagnosis is one of the most difficult moments in our work, therefore, without it, there is no way.
01/10/17 3 roots were removed to me (4, 5, 6 from the bottom). On the second day, the cheek was slightly swollen. The pain was bearable, the gums were red. On the third day, she rinsed with sage at room temperature - the pain slightly decreased. On day 4, rinsed with soda and salt. On the fifth - rotokan and glister. After the worm, the pain decreased. Today, January 16, 2017 (Monday), I visited the dentist, she took a picture - there are no fragments. Diagnosed with alveolitis; anesthetized and cleaned the holes. Where I saw a piece of tooth - said that it was a partition. I prescribed gel holisal 3 times a day for 40 minutes. And appointed to come to her on Friday. Did the doctor do everything right? It hurts. Advise what to do?
Hello! If a dentist saw a dirty gray coating or the absence of a blood clot at the stage of examination of the hole, then, of course, the diagnosis of alveolitis suggests itself. Tactics for alveolitis include wound curettage and anti-inflammatory therapy. So the wound in this case is disturbed with a good purpose.
Bone septa should not be removed if they do not have sharp edges and do not protrude too high.
After curettage, the hole may disturb for up to 2-3 days. If there are no other symptoms besides painful sensations, then you just have to wait, remembering to go to the doctor, if he prescribes, a normal dentist will not leave you until everything is fine. And it is right.
On Friday (January 20, 17) she was again at the doctor's office. They pulled out a bandage (he was barely holding on) and laid a new one, with medicine. 3 holes hurt. Removed another 2 (4, 5) roots on the other side, from below. The doctor prescribed lincomycin antibiotic and the gel was holisan on the wells of previously extracted teeth, because alveolitis. Baths with furatsilinom and rotokan. Today is Monday, I, worried, ran to the doctor. The dentist examined me, said that she didn’t really like everything. Granulation tissue (wild meat) grows in three holes, and it will have to be cut, because this will interfere with prosthetics. 2 holes of the last removal with a red-white bloom. I go to her for 2 months.From above treated, filled and removed, but there were no complications. Cried, very afraid of the operation. Doctor, advise what should I do?
Addition. The doctor is waiting for me on Wednesday. I carry out all appointments.
Hello! For prosthetics, sprouting from a hole really creates difficulties, there are no questions.
But there is a feeling that some moments in the treatment are clearly superfluous (personal opinion) and can have a negative effect: bandages in the wound, furatsilin, Rotokan - for what? Bandages placed in the wound is an outdated method (it does not allow the hole to heal normally, does not give a full therapeutic effect and even irritates the gum). For that matter, there are a lot of tools that can be put into the wound after curettage for 1 time for the treatment of alveolitis, since they dissolve as the hole heals. Furatsilin irritates and dries the mucosa, Rotokan is generally a water-alcohol solution. I understand that always after tooth extraction there are risks of complications in the form of alveolitis or worse, when a tooth is removed poorly, measures in the form of curettage, antibiotics, necessary anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. are not taken on time. And here (between us), clearly the hole already begins at the end of 2 weeks of uneasy healing, screaming: “Leave me alone!”. In my practice I don’t put bandages in the holes, very rarely I put absorbable anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents in the hole, I don’t prescribe furatsilin (like many of my colleagues) and I don’t trust Rotokan. The doctor most likely uses lincomycin to accelerate bone restoration: for many people he has an antibacterial effect, like an “elephant-shot”. As for the gel Holisal - acceptable.
Just in case, I’ll tell you what I would do: I would not touch the problem hole after the first curettage, and under anesthesia I would provoke the formation of a blood clot a little due to the marginal gum and press it with a gauze swab on top. After 10-15 minutes, you would have removed the swab and the first days after removal did not climb there, ate soft foods, carefully and without rinsing. In extreme cases, it is possible from the second day after removal of the oral baths 5-6 times a day with a decoction of chamomile (but not rinsing, that is, simply "held in the mouth - spit out"). Do not need anything else. At all. Rest for the hole in the absence of acute symptoms - high fever, swelling (asymmetry of the face), putrefactive breath, dirty gray plaque on the hole, pain that cannot be stopped by painkillers, etc. - This is the best treatment option. It is quite possible that a constantly aching and poorly healing hole is the result of its “rubbing” with drugs, both outside and inside.
Hello, Doctor. Yesterday I went to a consultation with another doctor. The gum on the right after removing 3 teeth hurts less and less. The gum on the left after the removal of 2 teeth is crying and seemed to me terrible red-white. The doctor examined and said that she did not see tissue growth (wild meat) in three holes. She advised not to let her cut. Regarding the gums of the last 2 teeth removed - she said that normal healing is proceeding slowly, there is no pus. Outraged for lincomycin. She said to replace holisal with dentrogel metrogil. After applying this gel, I immediately felt better, there was no pain, the gum slightly grows, but it is not inflamed, it looks pale pink, and on top the pink has not yet grown together. Today I go to my dentist. I have yet to remove 8 on the left, and am worried about there is an overgrowth, or not? I’ll ask for a while to leave everything alone until complete healing. Tell me, please, how to accurately determine the growth in the gum? I don’t see him from above.
Already went to the doctor. She said that the removal of 8 in a week, we will wait until everything heals.
Hello, Tatyana! It is reasonable that the removal was postponed for a week. I would recommend, if the removal is planned, move it for 2 weeks, so that the holes already completely cease to disturb.If you do not see the growth "in the gum" near the hole, an independent doctor does not see this either, then you should not worry. However, the last word belongs to the orthopedist. If the orthopedic surgeon for some reason insists on promising manipulations for successful prosthetics, then there are two options: 1. Submit and do as required; 2. Change the “prosthetist” to one with a different opinion.
You can send a photograph of a hole with a suspicious gum to the site’s mail, so that I can somehow determine what is really happening and whether or not to worry a little.
Hello, Svyatoslav Gennadievich! Again I ask for your help. My gums have successfully healed and there is no wild meat. 1.02 went to delete the 8th. All previous deletions went very quickly. My doctor, a dentist, injected ultracain. I prepared the instrument, within 15 minutes I couldn’t remove it, asked the nurse to give me more instruments, got excited, said that she was 7, and now she would send me to the hospital. Hearing this, the head surgeon asked for a picture. The cheek was already injured, I was immediately taken a picture and a printout was given to the manager. They said that the wisdom tooth lies, and since the seven is mobile, they will remove both. The manager deleted it very quickly and put turunda in the holes. She said that the removal is difficult, keep the swab for 1 hour. Then I spit out 2 fragments with the sacred. The cheek was slightly swollen and had a temperature of 37.2, it ached in the holes.
3.02 I changed turunda, then in the holes then it still ached, but it was possible to endure. On February 8, they washed me (it ached a little when washing from a syringe) and again put turunda. It hurt for 4 days, then it just got sick. 02/14 rinsed again (it didn’t hurt during rinsing) and again put turunda, then it ached, and it blew up. Today is 17.02, they pulled out the turunda and said that it was slowly healing, the septum was closed, the hole was 1/2 tightened with tissue, and again they wanted to put the turunda. I begged that you promised to stretch it already. The manager didn’t want to leave without a turund for the weekend, but, sparing me, she laid the powder. She said that if she was sick, the doctor on duty worked on Saturday and she needed to come to get the medicine. Here 5 hours have passed, there is no pain, sometimes a single painful second lumbago. I'm afraid to eat and drink, I will endure until tomorrow. Please tell me if what is happening is normal. Ahead prosthetics ...
Hello, Tatyana! The fact that you have everything in order and there are no signs of alveolitis is very good. You simply listen to your feelings, and even a slight “cross”, as you describe it, can be a cause of panic for you. According to your description, there is no cause for concern. The only strange moment is why the dentist began to remove, since this specialist without the right certificate does not have the right to claim this manipulation? Although, I am almost sure that I am able to carry it out due to the acquired primary skills at the university.
Good day! On the 18th day of the night I was removed 6-ku, the upper right. Little is left of the tooth. The doctor said that he had already crumbled, was soft and pus came out when removed. The doctor prescribed 5 days of Tsifran St and, if necessary, pain medication. Well, all sorts of Claritins for the night. There is no swelling, severe pain was only in the night after removal. The doctor forbade eating and drinking hotter, forbade rinsing (only baths), no physical activity, and so on. The first day there was a temperature of 37-37.4, then there was no more. I saw a blood clot only in the first hours. Then she just didn’t look. Today I looked - the edges began to converge there and in the middle something was formed bright, heterogeneous. The hole quietly rises and gums around (plus more places of injections, as from bruises). Unpleasant, but I drink painkillers only at night. To the doctor, it is planned only after 2 days for an examination.Please tell me if what is happening is normal. Is it possible to wait for a scheduled inspection, or do I need to run away as soon as possible?
Hello! What you describe fits into the norm, there is no reason to urgently consult a doctor. According to the plan, it is possible for monitoring and so that the doctor does not lose sight of you (it is important for a good doctor that the result of removal is successful healing). The “light” in the hole is a fibrin film that defines the stage of initial wound healing. Aching in the first days after removal is not unusual. And so - temperature, swelling, acute pain, mastication, putrefactive odor - this is not all, which means there is no risk of complications either. So wait for the scheduled examination, health to you!
Good afternoon! On February 6, the old lower tooth was removed, the next day there was a bad breath, and I found a piece of tooth in the hole. The doctor removed it, blew it out with air, dripped something and sent it home. He said that the smell is from a clot and this is normal. From that moment on, the pain intensified, throbbing, nimesil and ketanol only help for three hours! Inside the hole there is a dark brown stripe and gray-brown and white on the sides, looking like a plaque. The smell after rinsing leaves, but for 20 minutes ((Alveolitis? It hurts terribly.
And another question about the hole - do you need to show yourself to the dentist surgeon, or can you go to the usual dentist?
Hello! Yes, that's right, it is very similar to alveolitis. The smell of a clot, a grayish coating, combined with severe pain, which is difficult to stop with painkillers, confirms the alleged diagnosis. The third day after tooth extraction with increased pain is a classic of the alveolitis “genre”.
On the last question: I recommend it to the dentist surgeon in order to eliminate the cause of the disease. In an extreme case - to the dentist, leading a mixed appointment. Health to you!
Good afternoon. The top 6 tooth was removed because from the old wrong treatment, the process of decay of the lateral part of the tooth, an abscess, went pus with blood, the smell - horror, was not sick and did not bother more than that. Complex removal, more than an hour, blood did not go. The next day I went for a routine inspection, a clot did not form. After the manipulations in the hole by the surgeon, the blood also did not go; he inserted a hemostatic sponge inside. Recommendations - rinse with saline-soda solution.
I feel bone pain (not holes), a small, barely noticeable swelling of the cheek is present. The gum color is reddish on the side with a blue tint. Deleted on Sunday, today is day 5. The sponge rinsed when rinsing. I looked in the mirror with a flashlight a huge, deep hole, the wall of the 7 tooth is visible almost the entire length, and the diameter of the hole itself is about 7 mm. The questions are: how will the healing and overgrowth of the hole occur in this case? How long and what can be the complications? What else would you recommend? Is alveolitis possible in the future? It worries that the tooth wall 7 will not be tightened and will be exposed.
A lot, messy, but I hope you will understand. Thanks in advance.
Update as of February 19, 17: teeth near the hole began to hurt, some numbness (
Hello! Wells without a clot after such a traumatic and not quite accurate removal can heal for a long time - up to 3-4 months. This means that completely - until the disappearance of visible signs of interference. The final formation of the ridge of the process ends by 6-7 months.
As for the inflammatory process: I think that the time during which there was a risk of developing alveolitis has already passed. Now, the hole can simply be a place for accumulation and decay of food for a long time, or simply - a "trash can". A clot was required in the first 2-3 days after removal, and now, after the passage of time, the wound will heal without it. Alveolitis risks for the future are already minimal.Wall 7 of the tooth will not be visible in the coming weeks, since the gum tends to grow, that is, it effectively fills the void.
Hello, yesterday the lower molar was removed, it was very rotten, and the doctor hardly removed it. Already the second day, severe pain, something white on the hole. I went to the doctor - he says that this is normal, the hole heals like that. And the smell is unpleasant. I drink painkillers, but nothing helps. The cheek is swollen, and the ear and head hurt. What should I do?
Hello! On the first and second day after removal, there may be severe pain, which fit into the normal state. However, it all depends on the quality of the removal itself. For example, there are situations when symptoms simply “scream in the ear” to the person who has removed the tooth, which:
1. The tooth is not completely removed - the root or roots are left;
2. Left fragments or carious walls of the tooth;
3. The granuloma or cyst is partially removed or not completely removed;
4. The hole is so “rotated" that the edges of the bone tissue protrude and intensify the pain syndrome and other unpleasant moments ...
That is why I do not want to say unequivocally that it is worth enduring in the first days of removal, since I do not know the level of your attending physician. So I just can’t reassure you without inspection. If your doctor says that everything is fine, then there are few options:
1. Take his word for it and wait by the sea for weather, endure and hope for the best;
2. Contact another doctor and check the hole, and at the same time - on the professionalism of your doctor.
I personally would choose the latter, but it's up to you to decide. Health!
Good afternoon! Yesterday, they removed my tooth, five from the bottom on the left side, the doctor said that you do not need to rinse much, if only with furatsilinom and chamomile. The tooth was pulled out without pain, it didn’t hurt, it just had one wall with a filling and it fell off - in short, it caught up with the gum. But when the doctor looked, he persuaded him to build it for a long time, and I tell him that I was somehow aching. Well, he examined the neighboring tooth and says that he can whine from the next tooth, because there is a small caries. And yet we deleted it. He put down a cotton swab and let go, did not say when to spit it out. I spat out a tampon about an hour later, and walked with it, then bleeding from me, spitting blood for a very long time, even rinsing with plain water. When I began to move away from the injection, the pain began to torment me, I even regretted having removed the tooth, because he didn’t particularly torment me, he was just afraid that they would later remove him with difficulty.
Today I woke up and my cheek was slightly swollen, and it feels like there is a flux on the gum, but it is not visible. The neighboring teeth hurt, the cheek hurts, where the injection was made, there is no temperature, but there is no bloody clot either. At this place where the hole should be, something white, even a little grayish. There is a smell, and when you swallow it feels like a taste of blood in your mouth. And it seems that near a normal tooth, which is a little with caries, where the tooth was pulled out, as if a fragment of a tooth were sticking out - maybe the doctor didn’t delete everything for me?
I rinsed today with a solution of potassium permanganate, since there is neither chamomile, nor furatsilina, and I am afraid to rinse with soda and salt. When previously they pulled out a tooth, this was not, although they rinsed with soda and everything was fine. What can you advise? I’m just afraid to go to the doctor again because he will start picking everything there again ... I’m very worried. And maybe it should be so, although today it's only a day after I'm without a tooth. There is no particularly throbbing pain in the gum, but just some discomfort, as if I had candy on my cheek, and something is interfering with the gum below. I really need advice - what to do? Help me, doctor! Thanks!
Hello! It’s certainly worth contacting a dentist for control with your complaints. This is hardly an alveolitis (for now), but according to your description, the hole is not very neatly formed: there may be fragments of the walls of the tooth after removal or sharp edges of the alveoli that require correction. It should be borne in mind that with these negative points, the risk of developing alveolitis 3-4 days after removal is quite high. If the doctor after the examination does not see anything that requires urgent intervention, then you will at least be calm for further successful healing.
As for rinsing with potassium permanganate, soda, salt - this would not advise.This negatively affects the blood clot in the hole. Let the doctor correct the recommendations after the examination.
Good evening! Thank you for answering, I’ll go to the doctor tomorrow. Today was a temperature of 37, the smell is true, the tumor did not subside, even the temple aches a little. There is no particular pain in the hole, but the gum hurts, although I drank painkillers. All these days, she made baths a decoction of thyme grass - it seemed to be easier, but there was no sense. To be honest, I'm afraid to see a doctor ...
Thanks again, I'll unsubscribe tomorrow if I stay alive after the dentist ...
Good afternoon, Svyatoslav Gennadevich! I am terrified, or maybe I don’t understand something. I came to the reception today, I sat in a huge queue, I go in and tell the doctor that I’ve got the temperature like 37 since yesterday, that the tumor, it feels like the gum candy is somehow swollen and unpleasant, and it’s aching hole. He answered me, of course, he examined the hole, he doesn’t see the alveolitis there, but he needs to take a picture, namely a picture of 4 teeth, as he allegedly suspects that the whole tumor may come from him. And I deleted 5, but he says that 4 teeth and 5, which are removed, will be visible in the picture. Then he says: rinse with chamomile, furatsilin, and the numbers are prescribed to drink 2 times a day, I have to drink it for 7 days. How to remove the tumor did not say how to drown out the pain - either. I can’t take a picture, there is no film in the hospital, we have a district, and there’s no time to go to the city either, you won’t leave work again.
I have a question, what will I advise you to do? And if the gum grows, and after the picture, when I take it, something appears in this tooth, then what happens - will the gum have to be cut again? I won’t survive this, to be honest. Yes, even today I brushed my teeth, and by chance, as I wrote in other messages, something white fell out. But the fact is that a little of this white-yellow is left in the hole - probably not completely washed ... Is this not dangerous? As I understand it, it is necessary that the hole be closed. Around the hole in the gum is inflamed. Doctor, well, help me, well, advise some home remedies, I don’t know. If our doctors do not want to be treated, then at least I want help from you. And is it possible to replace this tsifran with another drug, I have a sick stomach and I am afraid of side effects, because I read about the side effects ... Thank you, I will look forward to hearing from you.
Yes, still, the doctor said: as it will be completely bad, you will come to an appointment. To be honest, I’m sorry for the expression, “ofigela”, this means that since February 22 I’ve been tormented, I waited for Monday, came with pains, and he still tells me - if you feel bad. Yes, I feel terrible, they don’t care ... I'm tired of pain, one neurosis. Thanks!
Hello! The fact is that in difficult cases, applied diagnostics are needed, and not my correspondence arguments - maybe this, or maybe something else. Obviously, the dentist does not know what to do with you: either the case is complicated, or the doctor simply cannot help you due to circumstances (the lack of an x-ray film further reinforces my hunch that the doctor, on top of everything, is hand-bound) . He has to guess in a sense, and he is on the coffee grounds. This is the wrong tactic.
If it is important to check the hole of the removed tooth and the adjacent tooth next to it, then you need to check, there is no other way. As for the prescriptions: self-medication without knowing the true cause of pain, temperature and swelling is very dangerous. The best way out is to take pictures, get qualified face-to-face consultation with another dentist-surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon (not the doctor you went to), adjust your appointments and continue to live in peace.
Good afternoon! I finally took a picture. The tooth that was removed - I myself saw that the gum is clean. I went to another doctor, he told me that I had a cyst on the 4th tooth (I have it already treated), and 5 were removed.I tell him that then I will have to do a resection, or what? And he answered me: why do you need a resection, you need to open the old seal and, roughly speaking, open the tooth, somehow remove this cyst. And then I, I say, will put a temporary seal, and then a normal seal, and immediately you need to put on a crown.
Why do I need all this? If, as the first doctor said, I have a small caries there, then maybe just heal it again and that's it? And this one says that that's why you have a tumor and a temperature, that when the tooth was removed, there was a place for the pus to go out of the 4 into the hole of my 5. And I told him: why, when I had not yet removed the tooth, there was no tumor, nothing, something, I don’t like it all. I told him that I would think. And he told me: there’s no time to think, you can blow your cheek at any moment. In short, I understood that this doctor wants to rip more money off of me, and that he is gaining clients. He comes to our village for 2 days and treats us in the hospital, but in the very clinic in the city ...
But, to be honest, when I click on 4-tooth (a tooth in which there’s a type of cyst), I’m sick, he reacts. And so, if I eat and drink hotter - it seems, nothing. But if the cyst is really true, then what, will you have to remove the tooth again? I will not survive this. And I really regretted that I removed the 5-ku - maybe it would be possible to go like this for a while, and then, when finances appeared, then build it up ... In short, I, the doctor, are upset, I probably to blame.
My question is: what can you tell me about another doctor who, like, saw that I had a cyst on my tooth? I just remember that once upon a time I had a cyst, and they cut my gum and cleaned everything there, and then sutured it ... Thanks, for the answer, I will wait.
Yes, still, this other doctor advised to rinse my mouth with chlorhexidine, decoction of pomegranate walls and ointment prescribed with asepsis propolis ... But why do I need this? The tumor seemed to be asleep, there is no temperature. Thanks again for the answer.
Hello! I think that it makes no sense to you to panic now. My advice to you: take a picture and send it to me (to the site's mail), and I will check whether there is, in general, a cyst or not. Perhaps you are quite right. If there are no symptoms of an active inflammatory process, then there is no point in rinsing with all of this that the doctor prescribed, the ointment may also be superfluous. You can use a decoction of chamomile rinse or a decoction of sage so that food does not contaminate the hole - and nothing more. Enough time has already passed to fear that the hole will behave negatively. And about dubious 4, I’ll say again that you should get a picture and show it to me so that you don’t think about it.
Hello, half a year ago I removed the tooth, everything went away, but just the day before yesterday there was severe pain in that place. I went to the doctor - it turns out that there was a root that began to fester. He removed the root, the pain subsided, but the edema at the top has not disappeared for 3 days already, his teeth are sore next (aching, shooting pain). I make baths with soda solution. Tell me what to do? I can’t get to the hospital, because I’m in the taiga at work. Thank you in advance.
Hello. Alveolitis (if it is) is difficult to treat at home without treating the hole and creating a full blood clot. However, once you are in such extreme conditions, find suitable anti-inflammatory ointments. For rinsing, decoctions of herbs (chamomile, sage) are better. Of the anti-inflammatory ointments or gels for the gums, Holisal, Metrogil Denta, Teracycline Ophthalmic 1% can come up (although the instructions do not treat alveolitis, but it may be suitable in your conditions). These recommendations are only in the context of the impossibility of seeking help - no more! In case of deterioration - urgently to the dentist for professional help.
On March 6, the two upper front teeth were removed. By the evening, swelling appeared and one of the holes became inflamed. March 9 went to the doctor.He prescribed solcoseryl and baths with miramistin. Swelling subsides, but the pain is hellish at times. I swallow ketans. The hole is dry. Edema remained along the edge of the gums. What else can you do? Tired, I can’t eat or drink.
Hello! Of the drugs, I can not advise you anything, since remote treatment can even be dangerous (in such situations, an internal examination is needed). If you are talking about a “dry hole”, meaning that there is no clot, the absence of a clot almost always causes painful healing of the hole. Especially if her bony edges are bare. That is why it is so important to form a good blood clot in time. Alternatively, contact another dentist and ask for a hole curettage (done under local anesthesia if there are no contraindications). The formation of a clot and the correct processing of the hole with a decrease in its clearance will quickly help in this situation, and additional funds from medications can only become indirect assistants. During curettage, the doctor often finds fragments of the carious walls of the extracted tooth, parts of the roots, sharp bones of the alveoli, granulation, etc. It is they who often create obstacles for comfortable healing of the hole: while the body is trying to free itself from the “debris” on its own, spending immunity resources, the level of inflammatory reaction in the removal area rises significantly, and from here - gum swelling, severe pain and even high temperature up to 3-5 days and more. Sometimes the fragments come out on their own, and the hole is painful, but it will heal itself.
Good afternoon, I had a tooth removed in the lower jaw, 5 days have already passed. There is nothing suspicious in the hole, but the gum is swollen, and the tumor does not subside and pulls. But there is nothing in the hole; there is no pus either. How can this be cured without a doctor? How to rinse?
Hello! Without a doctor, the so-called “dry hole” is difficult to cure on your own, and it would not be very correct to start treatment without diagnosis. Suddenly an alveolitis is already beginning? Consulting a dentist can be an appropriate option to not only select a complex of drugs, but also, possibly under anesthesia, to form (refresh) the hole so that its healing takes place without symptoms of infectious inflammation. So to choose home treatment without a diagnosis and examination by a doctor is a risk of direct harm. Thanks for the question.
Hello, I removed the upper front tooth yesterday morning (if I am not mistaken - 2, which is in front of the eye). Removal was difficult, for about 20 minutes I was in a hurry. Explained that the root is very thick. The tooth constantly crumbled. I’ve been sitting on ketanov for a day - aching pain, especially from the side of the neighboring tooth. The color of the gums looked like gray-yellow mud, and it began to swell. I have to work tomorrow for a day, then a day off. How can you be saved? Thanks in advance.
Hello! The fact is that according to your symptoms there is a suspicion of alveolitis. Without the intervention of a doctor, it is difficult to decide how to "escape." I am especially concerned about the appearance of alveolitis in such a short time: maybe there are fragments or parts of the root left by the doctor in the hole and provoking pain and other symptoms: swelling, grayish-yellow plaque, etc. Be sure to visit a doctor, even if it is a weekend. In large clinics and regional hospitals (polyclinics) there are always on-call dentists who can receive and provide assistance according to your profile. It is professional assistance that matters, not self-medication. Thanks for the question.
Svetoslav Gennadievich, hello! I read your answers with interest (I have not read everything yet) and it has become interesting - what do you usually recommend to your patients for rinsing and / or bathing after tooth extraction? Soda, as I understand it, is a controversial option, chlorhexidine is aggressive, and what else happens? 🙂
Hello! I am glad that you are a fan of my works)) Thank you very much. Generally speaking, there is a mass of rinses and baths after tooth extraction. However, according to one authoritative and well-known maxillofacial surgeon (implantologist), rinsing and bathing are more minuses after tooth extraction than pluses. Although this doctor during his medical career (about 15 years) has repeatedly changed his mind. It's quite normal. And so - both folk remedies (decoctions of chamomile, sage, oak bark, eucalyptus, etc.) and medications (furatsilin, Miramistin, Stomatofit, etc.) can be used to rinse. As for the aggressiveness of certain means - soda, potassium permanganate, chlorhexidine - I can say that it all depends on the concentration, exposure, individual moments and contraindications. Of course, there may be many risks from many of these drugs, but since many doctors continue to prescribe them, and at the forum, dentist patients write that they “rinsed and everything was OK,” which means that these methods have the right to life.
As for me, I recommend doing oral baths with decoctions of chamomile (sage) in the first 1-2 days after tooth extraction, up to 6-8 times a day (the more often, the better), and on the third day and the next couple of days I suggest trying neat rinses after eating the same means. In addition, there is also a set of tools that help to overcome the infectious process after tooth extraction and help the patient's body: antibiotics, antihistamines, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. Everything is according to indications and strictly individually.
Hello! Removed the top seven yesterday. This is the second tooth removed. The first time they were removed in state dentistry with huge claws - the entire right side of the face was swollen, and sat on a ketan for several days. Now everything is in order, after removing any pain, I am very surprised at this outcome. However, at night it turned out that there was a huge blood clot in the mouth (this was not the first time). It makes it very difficult to swallow, so I cut it a little, because I fit as much as 4 teeth. But he still remained quite large, if you carefully feel the language.
Periodically, blood flows, if, say, sneeze or something like that done. I'm knocking it down by the cheek. And also drank one captopril to relieve pressure.
Is everything alright in my case? Wait for the final cessation of bleeding or consult a dentist? It seems that everything is fine, but the condition is sluggish, I associate this with a cold (throat, nose - I probably chose the wrong time for removal), as well as the fact that I have hypertension.
Hello! With hypertension, it is important to stabilize the pressure - otherwise delayed bleeding is a natural phenomenon. I am also confused by the increased bleeding when sneezing: I am sure it is worth checking with the dentist for the proximity of the maxillary sinus to the bottom of the hole. In general, with prolonged (or regular) bleeding from the hole, you should not wait long and hope for the best. You may not know the exact cause of the bleeding, so it’s better to see a dentist.
Hello! In mid-February, a tooth split vertically - the top five. I wanted to remove it, but the doctor did an X-ray and said that the root was whole, put a stump tab under the crown. On an x-ray on a neighboring four, I discovered a granuloma, offered to treat the canals. After treatment, I climbed onto the wall for three days, painkillers did not help much. Insisted on the removal of this tooth. Three weeks have passed. There were aching pains at the root site. Today the night did not sleep well. I feel a salty taste in the place of the hole. The lymph node under the jaw has enlarged, painful. It’s painful to bite on the top five. What can it be and what to do?
Hello! It may be that the doctor’s tactics were incorrect regarding the preservation of the tooth during a longitudinal root fracture, but there is also the option that the hole against the background of alveolitis gives pain to the neighboring teeth, since there are symptoms of inflammation in the alveolitis (pain, swelling, redness and etc.). That is why it is important to take a picture of the hole together with the treated tooth (five). The dentist-surgeon, together with the dentist-therapist, must study the problem comprehensively, evaluate the treatment, the condition of the hole (whether there are fragments left, roots, etc.), and most importantly, assess the external state of the hole itself. In order not to make mistakes and not to do too much work, you should start with the diagnosis. It does not make sense to tolerate pain, as it can signal a serious complication that can easily be missed, which is fraught.
Hello. He removed the rotten tooth, and the blood clot never appeared. The tooth ached for 2 days, on the third it became easier. Now I look into the hole - there is blackness at the bottom, what is it? )
Hello! It is possible that you call "black" a burgundy blood clot. Although sometimes in the hole there may be food debris or a dirty gray coating with alveolitis. The latter is always accompanied by very unpleasant symptoms (temperature, pain, swelling, etc.). If there is nothing like this, then you can suspect only a blood clot or food debris and assume that the hole heals in normal mode.
Hello! Yesterday I removed the lower tooth - it seems that it doesn’t hurt, the gum, where the tooth was pulled out, got a little inflamed. A day later a white clot formed there, but it is not completely white, it bothers me. But there is no strong pain. Slightly aches. Should I worry?
Hello! It seems to me that you have nothing to worry about, because, judging by the description, you do not have any symptoms requiring a consultation with the dentist. As for the color of the bunch: why should it be white? 🙂 Typically, the starting point for concern is the absence of a clot or a dirty gray clot (black), as a pathology, as a possible symptom of alveolitis (or the effect of a dry hole).
If the color of the bunch is so important to you, then usually it is not white at all, but light yellow or red shades (burgundy, for example). Thanks for the question.
Hello! I removed the lower molar, a week has already passed, and constant pain does not go away. The hole is purulent in color, the lymph nodes are inflamed, the membranes hurt, as if laying ears. There is no temperature, a bruise appears on the cheek at the removal site, but there is no tumor. Tell me something.
Hello! It can be alveolitis or even osteomyelitis wells against the background of lymphadenitis. Be sure to urgently consult a dentist, since taking into account the symptoms described by you, it is important to conduct an accurate diagnosis in time (and, if necessary, treat the hole to remove possible fragments of the tooth, the remains of the decomposed clot, antiseptically treat the hole and create a full-fledged blood clot so that then there is no serious problems).
Goodnight! I had the lower molar removed, the same problem. Rinse, but not often. I feel unpleasant pain and some kind of yellow coating. Tell me, please, what to do? And I’m very afraid of the doctor!
Hello! Judging by your description, it can be either a state of normal or a starting alveolitis. Symptoms are sluggish, so it's probably hard to say. It is best, just in case, to consult a dentist so that there is no worry on this issue. If he says that everything is in order, it remains only to wait for the end of this transition period for another 2-3 days.And then, in most cases, the general condition improves significantly, and the hole is formed already at the stage of primary healing.
Hello! I don’t know what to do anymore ... Please help with advice!
04/16/17 (two weeks ago) in the "cool" paid dentistry in Chelyabinsk I removed the top "five". Eight used to be deleted - there were no problems, and therefore did not even suggest that this could be. The removal was very traumatic: the root crunched and crumbled, the surgeon tore my palate and gums when he had a tool broken ... Then he put a sponge with a medicine (not iodine-containing, as I am allergic to iodine), said that the clot did not form, and therefore, the sponge will lie for three days, after which it will resolve itself. Sent home. After that, the bleeding didn’t stop for a very long time (I couldn’t leave the hospital for an hour and a half - I spat out, eventually bleeding for a day). Probably, the bleeding washed away the above sponge, because by the evening of 04/17/17 I had a smell from the hole. The pains after the anesthesia "departed" were very strong, shooting both under the eyes and in the ear, but the pain and mobility of the neighboring healthy "four" were especially alarming.
04/19/17 I turned to the surgeon at the place of residence (I live 200 km from Chelyabinsk, and therefore could not immediately come to the same surgeon who removed the tooth). At the place of residence, a free surgeon of the “Soviet” times cleaned my hole under the anesthesia of “lidocaine” (it hurt, my head was spinning), washed it with a syringe, applied a bandage with streptocide for 20 minutes and said that now everything will heal ... After this manipulation I have everything began to “shoot” even stronger, the pain in the neighboring “four” intensified.
On the same day, 04/19/17, I turned to a paid dentist at my place of residence. They took a picture, removed the found fragment of the periosteum. She explained that the hole was simply huge for the “five”, that it had to be sutured, that the roots of adjacent teeth and the jaw bone were visible, determined that the “4” was really mobile. She also applied a bandage with iodoform (despite my allergies, they just decided to take a chance, since she had no other medicines). Her recommendations were: rinse with furatsilinom, drink azithromycin and wait until it heals. At that time, everything hurt: the palate, gums, sinus, eyebrow - the entire half of the face from the tooth extraction.
Then I began to endure two weeks before I was given the opportunity to go “to the mainland” - to the surgeon who removed the tooth ... All these two weeks I could not live without a “nise”, since only he helped, ibuprofen did not anesthetize. I washed the hole with furacilin from a syringe, sprayed Miramistin into it. In general, the edges of the hole healed, the swelling at the site of the extracted tooth went away, but the “four” and a slight swelling and redness above it were very worried.
04/29/17 I got an appointment with that “cool” dentistry) I had this “terrible procedure” when they break out the walls of the hole under anesthesia. The clothes of the hole were “ossified”, they already knocked when they fell into the tray. The doctor said that now my suffering has come to an end, as he cleaned everything, removed dead tissue and laid a turunda with Levomekol. In this case, the bleeding was again strong. He said that the turunda would lie for two days, after which it would need to be changed. I, who had already read about this problem, didn’t eat, drink, or rinse ... The next day (fortunately, I was in Chelyabinsk that day) I decided to go to the surgeon for examination (just in case). BUT he said that there is no clot again, just as there is no turunda with medicine. And she fell, it seems, again immediately with blood, since I did not feel it at all. Then the surgeon again laid me a turunda with Levomekol, said that now it will lie there for four days, since there is no more blood. After that, according to him, I should visit the dentist at the place of residence for an indefinite period of time (since I no longer had the opportunity to spend my days off and live in Chelyabinsk) to lay turund with Levomekol ...
BUT!!! Turunda with Levomekol did not last even half a day! And this despite the fact that again I practically did not eat anything, I tried not to drink, so as not to hurt her. But she just fell out of the hole. At the same time, I’ll clarify that the hole is still simply huge: deep, to the jaw bone and wide, the external gum is already “choking”.
As a result, it’s the weekend at our local dentists (I live in a small town), and I don’t know what to do with my “dry hole”. The surgeon said that it is absolutely impossible to leave it empty, since the bone has already begun to collapse. But what can I do myself with her when there is no way to see a dentist? I bought Levomekol, but I didn’t find it in the pharmacy any special one, but only “for external use”, I bought Solkoseril and Metrogil Denta, sterile bandages ... Maybe I could take a chance and put one of these ointments in the hole myself ? But I'm afraid to engage in self-medication already. The gum from the outside of the hole has become very thin, it bends into a void to the jaw bone, the “four” neighboring hurts with light pressure on it, the gum over the four is inflamed and hurts, the palate hurts again (this seems to be after anesthesia). When walking at every step, “current” pain under the eyes ... I ask for advice, I don’t know where to rush ((
Update as of May 7, 2017. Hello again! While waiting for an answer - I’ll add that at the moment, that is 05/05/2017, three weeks after the tooth is removed, I still have no improvement. On the recommendation of the surgeon, she asked the dentist in my city to make dressings for me - to lay the turunda with levomekol (I bought the usual levomekol for external use, since I did not find anything else and I do not know if it is any other). At the same time, this dentist believes that the hole should be open, since under the turunda (if left for a long time) everything will fester. But I have this turunda for a long time and does not last: a maximum of half a day, and then falls out of my huge hole. There is no progress in healing so far: the gum and palate above the hole and adjacent tooth are still inflamed, it hurts when pressure is applied to the gum. The hole is deep and does not heal from the inside. When walking, etc. - "flows" under the eyes into the sinuses ... The dentist said that she was tightened again outside and on the sides, and inside the deep canal into the gums ... In general, there were four days of holidays ahead, and I was left even without dressings, only as I could myself " cram ”the left-leaner.
I really look forward to advice: what should I do in this situation, since I can’t travel to the mainland in the next two weeks yet. How to make it more correct: close the hole, or not? Levomekol or something else to lay? Drink a second time antibiotic? Is it really necessary to do “curettage” again? Is it true that with an open hole the bone will collapse? For what period of time does turunda need to be laid (if necessary) with levomekol and at what frequency?
Still very excited about the further possibility of installing implants in my case (given how poorly this hole heals)?
Hello! Sorry for the quick reply and thanks for the detailed description. There is no information on whether the fourth tooth was injured during the removal of the fifth. This leads to some difficulty in issuing recommendations. Diagnostic images would not be in the way. Were there pictures of the wells to analyze the severity of what was happening? If so, you can send them to the site’s mail, and I will comment.
The proximity to the maxillary sinus due to traumatic intervention gives some of the symptoms you are talking about. When the hole is so "raped", it is quite possible to think about such an option as damage to the bottom of the sinus, even if it is insignificant.
Regarding the question of implants: I suspect that taking into account the condition of the hole, sinus lifting may be required. I think that the closure of the hole was immediately required if removal was so difficult, and it is important not to “push” the turund with the medicine into the hole, but to implant the artificial bone, as long as further implantation is expected. One big problem you have spawned is a lot of medium and small ones that cause frequent damage to the hole.
As for drugs: remotely, without examination and understanding all the nuances of the clinical situation, drugs are not prescribed - this is simply dangerous.As for the formulation of ointments and gels - here, again, everything is individual. To be guided only by the fact that Metrogil Denta or Solcoseryl dental paste are suitable for annotation to the indications "after tooth extraction" is reckless, although it often leads to a positive effect.
I recommend finding an intelligent specialist - for example, an oral surgeon who will examine you and at the same time talk about options for further implant placement.
Goodnight. The lower tooth was removed, a dry hole was formed, inflammation started. I went to the dentist, the doctor cleaned the hole, inserted the medicine and said that it would resolve itself. A day and a half has passed and I am very worried about the throbbing pain in the gums. Please tell me, is this normal, or do you need to urgently see a doctor again? Thank you
Hello! It is good that you went to the doctor in a timely manner - it is important that the clot is present at the healing stage, since everything goes faster and more comfortable with it. However, after the hole is disturbed for its own good, this calm does not come so quickly. I hope the doctor warned you that during the day after the curettage, painkillers are usually needed (the next day, according to the situation). And sometimes taking antibiotics and antihistamines is important (if indicated). The implementation of clear recommendations gives a chance to return to duty in a matter of days, but in one day this happens very rarely: after all, the mouth has an injury (wound), and all people have a different pain threshold.
I advise you to see a doctor again if, within 3 days after curettage, there is no tendency to reduce pain of an acute nature.
Hello. Three days ago, the upper tooth was removed, seven. The day after removal, a clot began to fall out. I got scared, because I did not know what to do. I alarmed all my relatives, everyone laughed that I was panicking and advised me to rinse, but I moistened a bandage with warm water and put it on the hole. The clot eventually entrenched. At the moment, the hole, it seems, is in order and does not bother, but the gum from the cheek is slightly swollen and whitened. Is it worth it to panic and run to the doctor?
Hello! Do not panic, because, according to your description, there is no reason for concern: the clot is not destroyed, has not "fallen out", there is no pain and temperature, and a small swelling of the gum in the area of the extracted tooth is almost always present in such cases. As for the “whitening” of the gums - perhaps the usual tension of the gums is present, but it is worth looking directly into the oral cavity to understand the true cause.
If you are so concerned about this situation, then you may well see your doctor for an examination (if only for the additional reassurance). But there is no urgent need for this at this stage of the healing of the hole.
Good afternoon! Thanks to your site for the tips. I have the remnants of a wisdom tooth removed from below. On the second day, out of ignorance, I pulled out, as it seemed to me, white pieces of food from the hole, but most likely it was a clot. I read on your website that I urgently needed to see a doctor so that they scraped a hole there and formed a new clot. I went to paid dentistry (she was nearby) - they made an injection there, scratched the hole and put medicine in it, so that, apparently, the clot would form without inflammation. A clot has formed, yes. I already cherished it very much, didn’t rinse it, didn’t eat on this side, didn’t pick anything ... But the clot “floated” from the hole anyway while brushing my teeth on the other side on the 4th day from the date of removal and the 3rd day after formation repeated clot.
Today is 5 days after the removal of the original. In the morning I went to the surgeon who was removing the tooth, he looked, said that most likely, at the bottom of the hole a part of the clot remained, put a bandage with “expensive French medicine” - hesitated to ask the name.They said, if necessary, to make baths with tea, since I am allergic to herbs. The hole is narrow, not inflamed, the pain was a little aching and tolerable, now it doesn’t exist at all (is the medicine in the hole anesthetizing, or should everything be so good and should not hurt already?) It was surprising that they said that the hole would heal itself (???) push the gauze with the medicine.
Tell me, how many days can I not worry about finding gauze with medicine in the hole? How many days should she sit there? 5-10 days? And if the gauze pushes out and the hole remains deep and empty, not prolonged? .. Thanks in advance.
Hello! If every day it gets better and there are no symptoms that impede a normal life, then there’s no point in contacting a doctor: just follow his advice correctly. As for the “gauze with medicine,” a lot depends on what kind of medicine was used (the instructions for the drugs prescribe the time spent in contact with the wound). Typically, foreign bodies are actually independently pushed out of the hole as it heals. And the hole will not remain empty and deep, since tissue is formed from its bottom during healing.
After removing the lower tooth (after the canine), I feel aching pain. The swelling was already asleep, and inside the hole I notice a white coating, is this normal? Advise something!
Hello! According to your description, there is no cause for concern, since a whitish or light yellow coating is almost always present in the area of the hole. And since the swelling subsided, there was no temperature (you did not specify), then aching pain can be attributed to the healing features + irritants that periodically affect the wound - from mechanical (solid food) to temperature (cold, hot). Therefore, I recommend you to be patient and follow the recommendations of your doctor. There is nothing to worry about.
Hello. The lower tooth was removed on Tuesday, the removal was difficult, the roots were knocked out with a hammer. They put a cotton swab, said to spit after 20 minutes and in no case rinse the day. I spat, came as a lady, everything was in blood. I didn’t rinse, I didn’t eat anything. It started to hurt very much, and so 3 days. Then it began to throb, I rinsed with a solution of soda and salt, but the pain did not subside. I looked in the mirror - everything in my hole was yellowish. I tried to clean it with a cotton swab, and it seems to me that this is pus. What to do? Today is Saturday.
Hello! I believe that you have a standard raid against the background of a healing hole - most likely, it has nothing to do with pus. However, the removal was carried out by a rather rigid method, which often leads to extensive wounds that require special care, otherwise it often leads to alveolitis and other complications. Picking your own hole is fraught with negative consequences. I do not advise touching the wound - it makes sense to urgently consult your doctor. A control inspection of the well 3-4 days after removal will not be superfluous, even if nothing hurts.
If this situation occurs on the weekend, the advice is: first, do not rinse with soda-saline solution, as this can destroy the protective blood clot. Secondly, do not disturb the wound with foreign objects, or even your tongue. I recommend that you contact the nearest dentistry clinic, where they are taken on the weekend, and conduct an examination of the hole. If everything is fine, then you will simply adjust your home treatment and you will calmly follow the doctor’s advice. It is also possible that a hole curettage will be required.
On Saturday, he removed a rotten tooth from above on the right side. The operation was quick. X-rays showed that there were no roots left. On Monday, the gums began to swell. The hole is brown, no unpleasant odor.The pain is not pulsating, gives in the ear and in the weight. Drooling yellow, what does it mean?
Hello! Judging by the symptoms and the time of their occurrence, most likely, we are talking about starting alveolitis. To confirm or refute this assumption, it is important to visit a dentist. You may need to adjust the treatment, perform curettage of the hole and (or) the setting of an anti-inflammatory wound healing ointment with an antibacterial effect. Do not be afraid, as in the case of curettage, preliminary anesthesia is performed. However, with greater probability it will be possible to do without interference in the hole.
Hello, Svyatoslav Gennadievich! Please advise what to do in the following situation: in the last days, the 8th lower tooth (wisdom) has begun to be slightly disturbed. Everyone says to delete unambiguously. But the problem is that before leaving for vacation there are 9 days left. Is it possible to remove it a week before? It's just that everyone has different opinions: someone says that it’s undesirable before the holidays, because It is not known how the hole will behave due to a change in climate. In the event of an exacerbation, I really would not want to sit on Ketanov and other medicines in the event of an exacerbation. Thanks in advance!
Hello! The question is not simple. The fact is that the extraction of any tooth is a complete operation, after which there is a postoperative period, which has its own characteristics for each individual person. With difficult removal of the lower wisdom tooth, it is often necessary to recover more than one day with periodic monitoring by the dentist. If the work is not done very high quality, traumatic, then the risk of a difficult postoperative period becomes even greater, and not a single person is safe from this.
At the same time, the fact that the wisdom tooth began to bother you indicates indications for its removal (if preserving the tooth with the help of intracanal treatment is not practical). If not removed, there is a risk that the onset of the disease during the holidays can be aggravated by going into an active purulent process.
In other words, there is a risk when preserving a tooth during a vacation, and when removing it the day before. Weigh which of these risks is larger and more important without additional information will not work. A thorough examination of the tooth and decision-making together with the attending physician will be required.
Hello! I am writing to assess the situation. I was thrice removed every time a week with the same wisdom tooth on the lower jaw. In pieces, for three hours each time, three surgeons in the clinic pulled in turn. As a result, the roots were greeted with applause. Finished the epic a week ago. The doctor first let go with turunda for two days, then pulled out and formed a good clot.
I have a bleeding problem. The clot flew out with the first sip of barely warm tea. I came to the doctor, he went the other way - now he changes the turunda every two days so that the mucous membrane grows, while cleaning the hole when replacing it. I drank the course of Augmentin and take painkillers daily, as it is difficult to endure aching pains in the cheekbones and ear. There is no inflammation in the hole, only when I was without turunda, food got in and the doctor cleaned.
Yes, more. I got the trigeminal nerve. There were terrible backache, a neurologist prescribed a drug of lyric and neuromultivitis, and everything helped.
The question is: is it normal that until now after these deletions I am in pain in the jaw? Is therapy adequate now? I'm experiencing scary, as it is absolutely unsettled. Thank you so much for the answer!
Hello, Alena. The doctor does everything right, changing iodoform turundas. Unfortunately, a similar outcome of the situation after tooth extraction sometimes happens.
Continue to follow the doctor's recommendations, the pain will gradually subside, and the wound will heal.But if suddenly it happens that the doctor already ceases to observe you, and your body temperature does not stabilize, then go urgently to the doctor, as this may indicate the development of a dangerous inflammatory process with the formation of pus.
Good afternoon! On October 17th, she removed 46 teeth. Removal was difficult, knocked out with a hammer, since a pin was placed in grade 7. No blood clot formed. To prevent infections, she drank an anti-inflammatory drug - nimesulide. But after 3 days, she began to notice that a white-yellow substance appeared in the hole, in addition, she noticed that the gum was badly damaged. Accompanied by mild aching pain. I went to the dentist, he said that everything is fine with you, let it heal. Now, after each meal, I rinse with chlorhexidine, but nothing heals. What to do?
Good afternoon, Marina. Do not worry, your situation is quite normal. After each meal, it is useful to carry out oral baths with chlorhexidine, as you do, or with its analogue, miramistin. These are good antiseptic agents that will not allow the inflammatory process to develop after tooth extraction.
As for the white-yellow substance, this is a fibrin coating, which serves as a natural defense of the hole. It takes time and proper adherence to the doctor’s recommendations for complete wound healing, so be patient.
Good afternoon and thanks for the good advice on this site. Doctor, tell me, will the hole itself heal after alveolitis (day 8), without the formation of a clot? The hole after acute alveolitis, but the hole does not contract at all ...
Hello! Of course, heal. The only drawback after a well-treated alveolitis against the background of the absence of a clot may be an extension of the healing period and, in some cases, a violation of comfort for a while (from 3-5 days to 2-3 weeks), most often only when chewing food. Against the background of the fact that you do not have threatening symptoms, you should not be afraid of recurring alveolitis. The main thing is to be patient and clearly follow the doctor's recommendations.
Hello! A week ago, I removed the two lowermost extreme teeth on the left. Constant aching pain (not strong, but still) and the tooth hurts from above. Today I noticed a black coating on one hole. In this case, I urgently need to contact a specialist?
Hello! These may well be mild signs of alveolitis. It is worth contacting a dentist as a confirmation or refutation of the diagnosis - at a minimum, this will help to adjust further home treatment if necessary.
Do not worry, go to the doctor and clarify the situation, as there are reasons for this.
Good evening, dear doctors and patients. My question is: after removal of the lower 8, serous alveolitis began. The pain was radiating to the ear and under the collarbone. Once every three days for two weeks, they washed my hole and laid turundas with iodoform. The pain stopped, they said once a week now to change the turunda. Today turunda fell out (to the doctor only tomorrow). I rinsed with a chlorhexidine solution using a syringe. I laid the adhesive solcoseryl in the hole to the brim. Now I think, did I do it right? I'm worried. The hole, by the way, is huge. Will she even heal?
Hello! After such a long period of time (as I understand it, almost 3 weeks have passed since the tooth was removed), the hole is already at the healing stage from the bottom and side walls. Given the improvement, there is practically no danger that problems will start anew. Your reinsurance with adhesive paste will not make it worse: it (paste) is needed to make healing comfortable and speed it up as much as possible.
The fact that the hole from your words is "huge" - apparently, the result of a complex and traumatic removal. There is no direct fault of the doctor, another question is that stitches could be applied to reduce wounds. But once the job has been done, I can only say that the hole will be completely formed as a “comb”, which will visually suit you, approximately 4-5 months after tooth extraction. The process of forming new tissue is not so fast, especially when the doctor makes no effort during tooth extraction, so that the wound is “beautiful” and the bone loss during removal is minimal (sometimes it makes sense to compensate for the loss of bone tissue with artificial bone).
Hello, Svyatoslav Gennadievich! On Friday the 22nd, the wisdom tooth was removed from above. It seemed that there was a clot in the hole, but she couldn’t particularly see it (far from above, but her mouth did not open much). I tried to drink and eat carefully, on the other side. Today is the 4th day - I looked at the hole, was a little alarmed, since the hole deepened a little, a dark small hole is visible.
I read articles on the Internet: like, the hole should be white on the surface, with an epithelium. At times there is dull pain in the area of the socket. And an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth. Could it be that on the 5th day the clot deepened into the hole, or did the clot nevertheless be washed and it was necessary to see a doctor?
Hello! The fact is that the hole can heal in different ways, and there are a lot of conditions that fit into the norm. This refers, for example, to the color and condition of the blood clot. A slight soreness in the area of the hole and an aftertaste in the mouth are also not signs of alveolitis (the aftertaste is often due to the drug that the dentist put in the hole to improve tissue healing and prevent inflammation). So if the pain does not increase, then there is no reason for concern - just follow the doctor’s recommendations and be healthy!
Good afternoon! On December 27, 6 lower teeth were removed, pain began on day 3, the hole was open, a terrible smell appeared. The matter was complicated by the fact that on December 30 I flew to Bali. Contacted her doctor, he said to wash the hole with chlorhexidine, or furatsilin a couple of days. I’m doing it all right, but the pain goes away only after taking ketonal. Also, the doctor said to put denta metrogil in the hole, but it is not in local pharmacies. What advise in this situation?
Hello! I think that the appointment of drugs in this case without knowing the real cause of the problem is fraught with serious consequences. Only after diagnosis by a doctor can you prescribe funds for home treatment. Otherwise, you can get a complication (read, for example, with phlegmon). There are many drugs aimed at eliminating some symptoms (temperature, pain, swelling, etc.), but if the attending physician has not completed something important in his work (he left pieces of tooth roots or a cyst in the hole, for example), it is recommended to timely correct treatment, since drugs are often ineffective against this background, and the situation can only worsen. So find a way to see a doctor.
Hello. They removed the wisdom tooth, it hurt for 10 days. I went to the doctor, said that alveolitis, cleaned the hole. No antibiotics were prescribed. The second day hurts, there is a temperature. What to do?
Hello! After curettage, the holes can experience both pain and temperature. Antibiotics are most often prescribed against a background of purulent infections, and they are prescribed only by the attending physician. If you doubt the adequacy of the therapy and the prescriptions of your doctor, you can, just in case, consult another specialist in another clinic (take a picture of the hole and evaluate if tooth roots or fragments are left in it).In principle, after complex deletions, the holes do not heal quickly, comfort only occurs after 5-14 days. Therefore, sometimes you just need to be patient.
It took 10 days after the extraction of the tooth, figure eight. As they said, she was partially in the gum and was even tilted towards the cheek, growing unevenly in a row. The roots were straight, the doctor pulled out quickly, put some kind of sponge - said that she herself would resolve. On days 2-6, in the evening there were aching tolerable pains and a feeling that they were bursting, as if I were biting my cheek (that is, swelling inside). For 6-7 days, it seems, it became better. Antibiotics were prescribed for 7 days. I drank it. In the first days only saline and special baths with chlorhexidine did. I was afraid to remove the clot from the hole, constantly looked. The wound, like a volcano, is very deep. Over time, the dark burgundy clot became lower, even the dark as if 3 points were visible (well, where the roots were). I thought I washed the clot. Today I examined there white or yellow pieces. I began to rinse a little with effort, I thought maybe bread or food. I’m not climbing in there ...
Since the wound is deep, visually it is filled with saliva, one edge from the cheek is lower than from the side of the tongue. The gum is whitish, although in the entire cavity it is. There are no sharp pains. Now I have seen enough of the wound, pulling my cheek - a little swollen again. Everyone worries if there is a clot there and why such a deep wound. It seems that 10 days have passed, this sponge inside probably cleared up with a clot. She asked me to close the wound, but the doctor said that it was not necessary. Here, in doubt, whether to go to the doctor. Just a dentist away, 30 km.
Hello! I think that taking into account the period (10 days) and positive dynamics, there is no critical need to go to the doctor. The hole is able to heal normally without a clot, so even if it is washed, then this is not a significant problem.
As for suturing the wound: sutures after tooth extraction are not always superimposed, sometimes they can even interfere with the normal course of healing due to poor hygiene in the suture area. Indications are determined by the doctor and depend on the nature of the wound and the severity of the operation.
On the 18th, the root was removed, after 2 days the hole turned black, a terrible smell started. I went again to the reception, we were diagnosed with alveolitis. The doctor cleaned the hole, put some medicine. He said that he won’t be sick anymore, prescribed to rinse with chamomile, sage and soda. Last night there was hellish pain. Now there is no pain, but the terrible smell from the hole reappeared, everything is black there. I am in a position, very afraid of the consequences 😢
Hello. After tooth extraction, alveolitis can sometimes develop. All the symptoms you listed (pain, discoloration of the well and unpleasant odor) are characteristic of this disease. Alveolitis is a very limited inflammatory process, and can not affect the course of pregnancy, as well as drugs for local treatment of the hole, since they act in the focus of inflammation and do not penetrate into the bloodstream. For the most part, these are just local antiseptics. Be that as it may, alveolitis requires immediate treatment, so it makes sense to go to the dentist again for re-examination and treatment of the well.
Good afternoon. On February 9th my tooth was removed to my son (4.6), at 13:00. Blood stopped only at 19.00 hours. February 12, the temperature appeared, 37.2. They drank nimesil (powder), made baths of furatsilin. Do not rinse. It was a weekend, and we need to go to the doctor for another 35 km. Three days later we went to the doctor. He looked and said that they rinsed the clot, "with which I congratulate you." He cleaned the hole, washed it with an antiseptic and put iodoform turunda. After 5 days, the turunda fell out. The hole is so deep, 10 days have passed, and signs of healing are not even visible. The edges of the hole do not come close. A small spot of yellowish color formed at the bottom.There is no bad breath, but the temperature rises to 37. Is this normal or not? 18 days have passed since the day the tooth was removed. How long will healing take? The son is worried. What do we do next? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Removal was difficult using an elevator.
Hello! Judging by the description, alveolitis developed after tooth extraction. I note that the treatment described by you that the doctor performed is quite adequate (curettage, rinsing with an antiseptic, iodoform turunda). If the pain and smell from the hole do not bother, then this means that the inflammatory process in the hole is prescriptive, or has already passed. Now the hole will heal with the so-called secondary tension, slowly filling with bone tissue. Sometimes, in order for the depression to disappear, it takes 1.5-2 months. It will not work out to speed up this process with home procedures or medications (as a rule, this is not required). It is only important to ensure that no food debris lingers in the hole.
However, you write that the temperature has been at 37 degrees for 18 days already - this should not be normal. It is possible that the source of temperature is no longer the tooth well. In such a situation, it is useful to periodically monitor the progress of the healing of the hole by the doctor until the disturbing symptoms completely disappear.
Hello! A tooth (7) was removed, a week after it was diagnosed with alveolitis. We cleaned and put a sponge, in the next step we put gauze with medicine in the hole. A day has passed, I feel that some purulent exudate is constantly oozing from there ... I rinse with a stomatophyte, miramistin. And at the reception only after 2 days. What to do? To sound the alarm?
Hello! In the situation described by you it is not necessary to sound the alarm. For a complete cure, as a rule, several dressings are necessary. But if the inflammatory process is quite active, and pus oozes plentifully, then dressings need to be done more often than 1 time in 3 days. I recommend making an appointment with your doctor ahead of schedule, do not wait another 2 days.
Cool pics for weight loss. As you look, there is no desire at all.
Good afternoon. I read all the answers, thanks for helping people. Please answer my question too. In February, a crown fell off my tooth, and the orthodontist said that this tooth (7 bottom left) should only be removed. The surgeon confirmed this after an x-ray. On March 14, the tooth was removed, the removal was short-lived, about 20 minutes, but the tooth crumbled, the doctor changed the tool three times and applied force. Then he put down a tampon, said to come in two days and let him go home.
For two days there was severe pain, drank a bag at night for a little nimesil. March 16 went to the reception with a complaint of pain not in the hole, but on pain in the gum from the side, from the side of the cheek. There was a strong redness and something was whitening. The doctor, having examined the hole, said that there was no clot, it was “dry”. I cleaned it, put the medicine and that’s it. Gum on the side did not touch. On March 19, after a wild pain on the side of the gum (it was impossible to touch it, even the cheek was in the way), I again went to the appointment. After listening to my complaints, the doctor said that this is a sharp edge and must be removed. After anesthesia, he began to perform some kind of manipulation, and then saying that “do not be afraid”, he began to hit either on the gum or nearby. The feeling was that he was working with a hammer and chisel. Out of fear, I did not ask a single question.
Then the doctor said that now he won’t be sick, the sharp edge was removed. No rinses, no drugs, no baths were prescribed. In the evening, the temperature rose 37, drank it again. There was no white protrusion on the gum, but it was damaged like an abrasion. The next day there was no temperature, but the pain did not stop for a day. After the appointed 2 days, I went to the doctor, said about the pain and about the 9 days taken painkillers. I also asked about the suddenly remaining roots, inflammation of the hole, swelling of the gums on the side.Reported pains in the ear and under the jaw. The doctor assured that there was nothing of this, it was just a difficult removal (although this was not mentioned in the early days). Then he changed the medicine in the hole and that’s it.
On March 23, at the next appointment, the doctor put a sponge in the hole, said that she would resolve and said goodbye. I was left with a dull pain in the gums and an edematous edema. The hole, on the contrary, has a healthy color, does not bother. Tell me, please, why does the gum hurt from the side (as if inside) under the extracted tooth? This place is still swollen. I make baths with chamomile, there were no other recommendations. 11 days have passed since the day the tooth was removed, 6 days from the moment the sharp edge was removed. Thanks for the answer.
Hello. It seems that in your case after tooth extraction two complications were immediately observed: alveolitis (inflammation of the tooth socket) and the sharp edge of the hole, which overlapped each other, giving pain. Your doctor has taken the necessary steps in relation to both complications - put the medicine in the hole and removed the sharp edge of the bone. For 10 days, the hole was delayed, and this is normal. Edema on the buccal side is most likely an infiltrate (usually such edema is dense, slightly painful, formed by the body in response to trauma and looks like a "bump"). Since there were two operations (tooth extraction and removal of the sharp edge), it can be assumed that this infiltrate is of significant size. The fact that the hole is already healing is a very good prognostic sign. Now you only need time to resolve the infiltrate. Some appointments are usually not required here. Watch the dynamics of the process - if the pain and swelling gradually subside - fine, but if the dynamics is negative (the pain intensifies, the swelling persists or also intensifies) - then you should consult a doctor again. Thanks for the question.
Good evening. March 16th was removed on the 8th, lower right. 23 re-cleaned the hole, as there was no blood clot. 25 went to another doctor - said that there was no blood clot. 27 to go again to see a doctor who removed the tooth. It is terrible that they will again clean the hole so that blood clots form. Is it obligatory to form it?
Hello, if there is no blood clot in the hole after tooth extraction, then it heals with the so-called secondary tension, that is, slowly filling up with connective tissue (the process would go much faster with a blood clot). At the same time, dressings are carried out at the initial stage: treatment with antiseptics, laying stimulating drugs, sometimes cleaning the hole. If the tooth hole does not hurt, there is no putrefactive odor and it has already been covered with soft tissues from the inside, then there is no need for additional dressings. It is only important to ensure that food particles do not accumulate in the hole (rinses are needed immediately after eating) - and gradually the hole will fill up.
Good afternoon. Tell me, please, a month and a half has passed after tooth extraction, everything was fine, I went for an examination. But already as a week I noticed an inflated bubble in the hole. Very worried what could it be? To the doctor only after 5 days.
Hello Christina! As a rule, after tooth extraction, the hole heals within 2-3 weeks. At the moment, after the removal, as you write, 1.5 months have passed - this suggests that the wound has already healed. I believe that in the area of the extracted tooth, scar tissue in a shape resembling a bubble simply formed. Be that as it may, taking into account your description, I see no reason for urgent concern, so after 5 days, when you will visit your doctor again, just pay his attention to your feelings.
Good morning. The situation is this: on April 24, 2018, the molar was removed (to the right in front of the wisdom tooth).It seemed that everything was fine, but on May 31 the jaw began to hurt in the area of the extracted tooth. On June 3, pus began to go on pressing the cheek. By the way, the swelling of the cheeks began, and not small.
As a result, on June 4 I went to the clinic (to the place where the removal was made) - they took a picture, everything is fine on it. But there was severe inflammation, they did a “curettage”, that is, if I understood correctly, they cleaned the hole. The feeling was terrible. Processed, put gauze with ointment for half an hour and recommended antibiotics and rinsing every three hours ...
So, I wanted to know from you - after purification, pus should stand out from the hole? Or should he not appear at all after cleansing the well? Thank you very much for the answer!
Hello, Gulnara. After curettage and treatment of the well, pain may persist and discharge from the well may be present. Normally, the hole should heal in a few weeks, and intense pain in a day usually does not happen. However, sometimes as a result of the fact that the blood clot covering the wound is shifted or does not form at all, the wound becomes infected. As a result, an alveolitis occurs, and the healing of the wound surface is greatly delayed. As a rule, this is due to a violation of the postoperative regime, when active rinsing of the oral cavity leads to leaching of the blood clot and exposure of the wound surface with its subsequent infection.
So don’t particularly worry about isolating the sac from the hole immediately after curettage (it is often mistaken for pus). But keep an eye on the general dynamics and well-being, and if unpleasant symptoms persist, see a doctor again.
Hello. I wanted to know, I had a molar tooth recently removed, and after 2 days in its place I found pus. What to do? And because of what could he have formed? I did everything the doctor said. He recommended chlorhexidine. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hello Daniyar. Most likely, the blood clot covering the wound was shifted or did not form at all. As a result, the well became infected. In such cases, alveolitis (inflammation of the hole) often occurs, and the healing of the wound surface is delayed. Although often patients take for pus a donut that stands out from the hole.
Be that as it may, I recommend making an appointment with your doctor for an examination. Sometimes it is really necessary to treat the hole for its healing as soon as possible.
Hey. Is it worth going to the hospital if something has formed in the hole after tooth extraction, something white. There is a feeling that I can remove it. On one side is white, on the other - either black, or red, I can not understand. I would be grateful if you answer.
Hello, Stanislav. You do not need to remove anything from the hole yourself. Moreover, white plaque is fibrin, and its presence is one of the signs of normal healing of a hole under a blood clot. In an extreme case, if something is seriously bothering, then make an appointment with a doctor for an examination, but do not pick and remove anything yourself.
On July 25, 2018, two teeth were removed, after which there was a terrible pain for 3 days. I could not stand it, I went to the doctor on call, we were diagnosed with alveolitis. They cleaned the hole, put the medicine, but the pain did not stop. It was Saturday, and on Monday I went to the dentist. They again cleaned and put the medicine, and so on for three days. I drank the antibiotic, a lot of painkillers were drunk. For all these three days, she washed the house with a syringe with chlorhexidine, rinsed with malavite and sprayed with iodine. And only on the fourth day after all these procedures it became a little easier. Here, I'm waiting now, when heals.
Hello. Two weeks ago, after a severe toothache at night, the doctor removed the bottom eight.Pain after removal did not decrease at all, spent a week on painkillers and went to the doctor again. He said that the hole was dry (a blood clot either didn’t form or fell out). As a result, they made a curettage and laid down a yellow medicine (something like marloseka), which was supposed to resolve. But nothing resolved, but fell out a week later. The doctor on the phone said that everything is fine, but I feel discomfort (and pain), especially after eating. And a hole formed at the place of removal. What to do?
Hello! You have described typical manifestations of alveolitis. The problem, as a rule, arises due to the fact that the hole after tooth extraction is not filled with a blood clot, or due to the fact that during the first days after removal the food got into the hole. The hole will gradually be delayed by the mucosa, and as soon as this happens, the pain will recede. This usually happens within 3 weeks. It is only important not to self-medicate and not to disturb the wound yourself. The "hole" that excites you will soon overgrow. However, with negative dynamics (increased pain, fever, development of edema), it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Hello. Two weeks ago, the upper tooth was removed (I don’t know which number). The tooth was split, fragments cut the cheek and tongue. Removed with roots, he sat tight, had to loosen. All week there were aching pains, drank painkillers. Do not rinse, did not eat on the other side. Pain hurt in my ear and my head ached. A week later she came to the doctor - he cleaned the hole, pulled out some nodules and said that there were no tooth fragments, no smell, no pus. Washed, put medicine and gauze with medicine. Gauze pulled out after half an hour, as it was said. The pain decreased, it can be said that it hurts when I climb there with my tongue. Around the former tooth, the gum swelled up and ached, something white formed on the hole. When she ate, the white disappeared. I'm afraid it's pus. I’ll get to the doctor only on Friday, I wrapped myself up to panic.
I forgot to say that there is no temperature, the cheek is not swollen. The head and ear no longer hurt, but when you touch the cheek it hurts. Is everything okay?
Hello, Natalia! The white plaque in the hole is fibrin, which protects the wound from the external environment. Soreness when touching in the area of the extracted tooth is also normal, since the wound after surgery is still fresh. The time frame for healing a tooth hole on average varies from 5 days to 2 weeks. Judging by the description, everything is going fine with you, there is a positive trend, and you should not worry too much.
Hello. Tell me please. 22 days ago 4 teeth were removed at the same time at the top (2, 3 and 3, 2 are obtained). The wounds were sutured, the doctor said that he put collagen. It hurt severely for 3 days, there was swelling on the right. And so, after so much time, I went to the doctor to try on a temporary prosthesis - and it hurt. The doctor pushed on the gum and pus began to flow out of the protracted, seemingly wound.
I went to the surgeon, the doctor cleaned the hole, saying that there were small fragments of bone. I laid a gauze swab with medicine (which one I didn’t ask) and said to appear in 5 days ... But then I went to the mirror at home and tried to put pressure on the gum on the right. And I can’t say that it hurts and bothers me, unlike the gums on the left. And I saw that pus was oozing from a long hole, literally from a small hole.
Tell me, dear doctor, what should I do with all this? To clean the right hole, even if it does not bother?
Hello, Natalia. First of all, I note that in no case should you try to squeeze pus out of the hole yourself - it is so easy to introduce an infection.The correct decision would be to contact the doctor for a second examination to clarify whether pus is actually present in the hole and whether surgery is required. The doctor will prescribe treatment if necessary.
Good afternoon! On September 3, the lower right eight was removed, the tooth was slightly tilted towards the seven. The doctor sewed up the hole, pain appeared on day 3, and felt a loose thread in her mouth. I went to the doctor, he removed the stitches, said that everything is ok. All this time the temperature was up to 37. The right part of the head hurt, it gave a little to the lymph nodes, but they were not enlarged. A few more days passed, the condition did not improve, the temperature did not drop.
On day 11 I went to the doctor, he said that there are symptoms of alveolitis, the hole is dry. Re-formed a clot, put a sponge. Another 3 days passed, the situation did not normalize, the doctor repeated the same thing. Turned to another doctor, he laid the iodine turunda on Friday, said on Wednesday to come. The pain subsided, the gum aches a little, but the temperature is 36.7-37. The doctor said that the jawbone is visible at the bottom and due to the fact that it is exposed, there is a temperature. I don’t know what to do anymore. There are no strong pains, but this slight temperature annoys. What do you advise?
Hello Elvira. After tooth extraction, sometimes, against the background of the absence of a blood clot in the hole, alveolitis develops - inflammation of the hole. Your doctor’s treatment tactics are correct. As for the temperature remaining at level 37, it is important to understand that the inflammatory process does not pass instantly (like the temperature associated with it). That severe pain has disappeared is already a good sign. So be patient and follow the recommendations of your doctor.
Hello, Doctor! 16 days have passed since the root of the tooth in the lower jaw was removed. From the first days, dull pains did not stop, tumors (except for a small seal near the hole, near the tongue) and there was no temperature. A week after the tooth was removed, she went again to the doctor - she explained that I was probing a small seal with my tongue. The doctor opened the hole, put the medicine and said that everything was fine. After the visit, the pain did not stop, but intensified, it began to give to the neck, the head hurt. I started to drink Nimik tablets and lubricate with Metrogil Dent ointment. It seems that healing has begun. But the pain did not abate to the end. On Sunday I saw that the hole turned red and became as if higher. I pressed my tongue - pus went. I put Levomekol to the gum and drank Tsiprolet. That little condensation on the tongue side became smaller. The pains are almost gone. Desna turned pale. Should I continue treatment and how many more days? Or go to the doctor again? Thanks for the answer.
Hello Svetlana. Based on your description, despite the apparent improvement, be sure to consult a doctor for revising the well, as well as prescribing therapeutic treatment (to avoid the formation of pathological tissue instead of bone in the well). And yes, do not self-medicate, take medications with a doctor.
Hello, Doctor. The upper 5 and 6 were removed on Tuesday. Both holes dragged on, but, unfortunately, a clot dropped out of hole 6 a day later, the blood was flowing well. A new clot has formed at the bottom of the hole, but less than at hole 5. Two days have passed - it does not hurt, there is no smell and swelling. Can you please tell me if hole 6 will be delayed? Thanks for the answer.
Hello! Based on your description, you can say that now the holes are healing in normal mode. In my practice, often even empty holes heal calmly and without pathologies. Here, the main indicator is the body's immune response to the intervention, that is, to injury.If the hole is not exposed to the outside, is not infected and does not have granulomas, residues of tooth roots and fragments, then healing almost always takes place without incident. So your holes will necessarily be “dragged out” - this is just a matter of time. It usually takes 3-4 months to fully heal, although the gums will fully level out in about six months.
Hello. After a difficult extraction of the lower molar, the clot was the first time, but after a few days it “washed up”, and after that a dry hole was formed. The hole does not hurt, but there is a small swelling at the removal site and some white spots inside. It tastes bad. The doctor, upon examination, fell asleep with an antiseptic, said to drink antibiotics, and that’s all. Did the doctor do everything right and what should I do next?
Hello Andrey! I believe that the tactics used by your doctor with a "dry hole" is correct. At the moment, you need to follow the doctor’s recommendations and monitor the dynamics. If the dynamics is positive, then the hole will soon overgrow. If the dynamics are negative (pain appears, the temperature rises, and in addition to this, the putrefactive smell intensifies), then you will need to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Is it possible to put Vishnevsky ointment in a hole?
Hello, Nikolai. Vishnevsky ointment in the hole can not be laid. Such self-medication, on the contrary, can lead to a strong inflammatory process.
Hello, I removed the upper molar two days ago, the removal was difficult. For two days there was no pain at all, but today I woke up from aching pain, my cheek hurts, my gums are throbbing. The gum is inside a yellowish hue. What can it be and what to do?
Hello Love. This symptomatology is characteristic of a complication after tooth extraction associated with inflammation of the hole (alveolitis), that is, an infection has entered the hole and the walls have become inflamed. Make an appointment with your doctor to clarify the situation and conduct appropriate therapy.
Hello. Removed 8-ku May 17. It was removed long and hard, pain and temperature lasted about two weeks. I went to dressings. By mid-June, the pain was gone, the doctor examined the hole and said that everything heals perfectly. After a while, the smell from the hole began to disturb, and the secretion of some secret, either pus or blood, was constantly released. There is no pain and temperature. And if there is no pain, then everything is in order? But tired of these discharge, I went again to the doctor, but to another (the one who removed the tooth is on vacation). They did an x-ray: the hole did not heal at all. The doctor said that the situation is very bad. He did curettage, put turunda, prescribed antibiotics and chlorhexidine. He ordered me to come back in a week. It was yesterday. Today turunda falls out almost completely. There is no pain, the temperature was low yesterday. Pull out the turundu and go to the doctor tomorrow? Advise!
Hello, Natalia! It is better to remove the drop-down turunda and make an appointment with the doctor in the very near future. Follow the doctor’s prescribed recommendations. Upon admission, the doctor will examine the hole and decide on the need to install a new turunda for further treatment.
I removed the wisdom tooth from below and my gum swelled up, it was sore, I couldn’t open my mouth. The temperature is large 39.6. I think pus has gathered there. What should I do, how to cure this at home? Or do you need a hospital? I think that there will be cuts to release pus.
Hello, Sergey. In such a situation, one should not count on home treatment, and you need to see a doctor as soon as possible, since it is possible to develop life-threatening complications (phlegmon, sepsis). So hurry, the doctor after the diagnosis will decide on further treatment and give the necessary recommendations.
A month ago, the lower right wisdom tooth was removed, the removal was difficult. Within a week after the extraction, another tooth had to be removed, which was nearby.And now a month has passed, and now both of these holes are rotten at once. And the cheek was swollen. I don’t know what to do ... Complicating the situation is that painkillers do not affect me. What to do?
Hello Valentine. In your case, you must urgently contact the doctor who performed the operation. It is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis in the area of extracted teeth. Taking painkillers in such a situation is not a solution to the problem, since the infection that led to suppuration and swelling will not go anywhere. It is possible that curettage of the holes and subsequent administration of antibiotics will be required.
Hello. 8 days ago removed the bottom 8. There is no pain. No temperature. There is no swelling either. Only white in the hole, like cotton wool, bothers. I rinse my mouth, but this white does not go away. Tell me, please, what can it be?
