How to treat tooth pain due to stitching of the gums ?
Patient: I had 3 teeth pulled on one side in a row....they used 2 stetches to hold the gums together. where one of the stetches was there was a big whole and lots of pain where it was in the gum line area. This pain has been there at that same spot for 10 days now and is not lighting up any....is that normal? Doctor: Hello, thank you for consulting with HCM.As you are mentioning that stitching of gums were done 10 days back and now also you are having pain , it looks that there is some infection still left there as 10  days is a quite long time healing starts till this time and pain subscides.You should visit your dentist again and get an x-ray done of that region, to get confirmed about the infection.Hope it will help you.Regards
