Hello,
To plan the treatment,direct clinical as well as x-ray evaluation is required by a dentist for diagnosing the disease.
Take complete course of antibiotics.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Gargle frequently using warm saline .
Chances of root or tooth pieces remaining within the socket has to be ruled out.
The socket has to be curetted and rinsed using betadine.
Take care.
