Hi, Got oral surgery for gum blister, infected, after 6 months doctor said the tooth is to be removed, the dentist said there is no bone, and infection is due to broken tooth.
Any how now the tooth is removed and stiched, now if you get the culture and sensitivity is done to the discharge and treated accordingly, you will get the infection controlled completely, and further treatment will be possible. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Your dentist is absolutely right.

Root canal treated tooth has re-infected resulting in gum blister formation.

The extraction socket has to be irrigated with betadine frequently.

Take complete course of antibiotics too.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Take care.
