How To Treat The Pain Caused In The Septum After An Extraction?
I am a type 2 diabetic, just had 10 teeth extracted. I also have heart disease and hypertention. I had a artery stent placed in 2006. It has been 9 days and I am having some terrible pain in a place called the septum. This bone was coming through my gums after the extraction and is very painful. What can I do. It seems like it is staying hot and swelled up and not healing.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have type 2 diabetic as you know healing is delayed in this
You take proper course of antibiotics given by your dentist and after 24 hrs do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
If healing still doesnt occur then consult your dentist for Irrigation and ZOE Pack
Hope this will help you. A
