Suggest Treatment For Infection Of Lower Right Tooth
Question: Thank you. I had my wisdom teeth extracted just over two months ago. My lower right has been infected twice. Oral surgeon reopened and cleaned area out both times - second time found three bone fragments that were causing infection. It's been two weeks since that happened and I'm in terrible pain again. Worried about infection and concerned there's something worse going on. Should I be going to an md at this point? MRI?
