ITooth pulled. medium to low grade pain after 2 days. Anti biotic has not cured it. 9 days since extraction. ??
Question: Dentist says he is clueless about it. Does diabetis slow process? Could it be sinus? Will it eventually stop hurting?
Answers: Did you actually have an infection when you got the tooth pulled? Dentists usually give antibiotics to patients after extractions to PREVENT an infection. It's very dangerous to get an infection after an extraction. It can easily go into your jaw and spread quickly. So unless you have an infection--the antibiotic is not going to do anything for the pain.
Maybe you have a dry socket? Is your sugar up? It could have something to do with your diabetes. You may want to call your doctor (not dentist) and ask them about it.
I had one linger once. Give it some more time. You're probably correct about the diabetes.
If you smoke STOP
I had one pulled 2 1/2 weeks ago that still aches. Diabetes does slow the healing, but sometimes it just takes a while for a tooth extraction to heal. Give it at least three weeks, then call your dentist. There's always the possibility of infection or a tiny piece of a root left in there.
Good luck!
Please, please, please make an appointment with your physician and have it checked. If you have infection after nine days, there is something more seriously wrong and it requires medical attention. Having diabetes exacerbates the problems with healing, absolutely!
It could be that your particular strain of infection is not getting the right type of antibiotic. If you leave this too long, it can really be a horrible mess if it gets into the jaw bone.
Don't delay seeing a doctor with this. It is just not worth putting off.
Did you take all the precautions your dentist advised you after you had your tooth extracted? From my point of view there are 4 possibilities. 1.) Dry socket- the clot got dislodged from your healing socket due to sneezing, coughing, or not following dentist's orders. If there is dull pain, but no fever, this is likely the cause. Consult a good dentist and have a sedative dressing placed in the wound.
2.) It was a traumatic extraction: in which case, there is swelling and fever along with the pain. Higher antibiotic dose, along with metronidazole and anti-inflammatory analgesics will solve your problem. Consult your dentist.
3.) There was a granuloma which was not curetted at the time of extraction. Higher antibiotics and analgesics.
4.) Presence of diabetes in which case your dentist should have put you under antibiotic cover BEFORE the extraction.
In any case, do not apply dry heat fomentation from outside, use warm saline and chlorhexidine mouthwash, and CONSULT WITH YOUR DENTIST
If pain killers don't take care of the pain, you probably have a dry socket-if so GO SEE THE DENTIST!!!!!!!!!!
