How to treat canker like cyst and tooth pain after extraction?
Patient: I recently had a tooth pulled ( 7 days ) and there is continuous pain around that area, i went to the dentist and he said my body was rejecting the fact that i got my tooth pulled and said that canker like cysts were forming. He told me that they would go away on thier own but i woke up this morning and they are spreading from the back to the front of my upper gum line....any advice? is this more serious than he is making it out to be? Doctor: After tooth extraction there is some chances of developing complication like Dry socket actually it is a unhealed bony socket of your extracted tooth which occurs due to dislodgement of the blood clot from the site of extraction.you can go to another dentist and get zinc oxide eugenol dressing of the unhealed socket and change it after every 24 hrs for 5-6 days you can see healing starts after 2 days and pain also get relieved in the mean time you can take analgecis tablets containing diclofenac potassium 50mg with serratopaptidase.
