Hello,
I understand your concern, but do not feel you need to worry. you are still in the healing stage. Your gum tissue was disturbed even with a simple extraction and blood loss can contribute to
dehydration. My recommendations:
-Keep well hydrated
-continue with warm salt water rinses and
avoid spicy and acidic foods
- avoid irritants such as smoking and alcohol
- anti-inflammatory medication such as
Tylenol, Advil and
Benadryl may offer added relief.
- some liquid or gels with a
benzocaine can be applied to irritated areas.
- maintain gentle, good dental care
The sore areas should heal with time. If persists or worsens contact your
dentist. Expect improvement in one week and should not continue over two weeks. If you feel rough or sharp edges poking threw the gum, ask your dentist to check for sharp bone. If bone is thin, little pieces can break off with the pressure of shrinking, healing tissue.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you feel better soon. If you have additional details to provide, I am glad to answer additional questions.
