Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Extraction of the tooth is often associated with post operative complications like pain and swelling.
Dont worry about the symptoms as they will subside after sometimes.
Follow the post operative instruction properly.
According to your clinical history i suppose that the infection in your tooth was deep after extraction a curettage and rinsing of socket with antiseptic saline rinses was required.
I would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics for 3-5 days.
If the symptoms persists or worsen visit the Dentist and get the checkup done.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Hope this helps out.
Regards....

Hello there ,
Thanks for writing your query,
Extraction of tooth often ends with complications like pain and swelling post extraction .
usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection .
After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must to prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.
i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist , which helps in subsiding the swelling and pain.
follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse.
If the swelling ,heaviness and pain do not subside after 2 weeks of extraction you need to get the examination done by a dentist for DRY socket.
Since there is mild pain and swelling in your case , i hope it will subside in coming days do not worry.
i hope this helps ,
take care.

Hi,
Thanks for asking query,
There are many reasons for post operative complication like-
Traumatic extraction of tooth.
Remaining root piece in the socket.
Excessive soft tissue manipulation during extraction.
Dry socket.
Improper cleaning of socket having extraction.sometimes pain and swelling also occur normally after tooth extraction.
I suggest you to visit your dentist get it checked clinically and radio graphically.
TAKE PROPER ANTIBIOTIC AND ANALGESIC prescribed by your dentist, gargle with warm saline water 3 to 4 times a day , use antiseptic mouthwash , prevent food retention .
Hope this will help you.

Hi Chauhan,
Thanks for writing to us.
Normally extraction socket heals within one week,if you do not have any systemic diseases like diabetes mellitus/hypertension is associated.
Swelling around the gums may be due to-
Dry socket formation.
Root/tooth pieces remaining within the socket.
Traumatic extraction undergone.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical evaluation done by your dentist.
Meanwhile gargle frequently using warm saline and betadine solution.
Rinse mouth after every meals.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Use chlorhexidine mouthrinse to gargle.
Take complete course of antibiotics after consulting with your dentist.
Dressing the socket using povidine iodine can enhance wound healing.
Hope this helps.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The swelling is 'mild'; the pain is 'little' - that means there is steady improvement
You will be alright in a few more days.
These are the residua of injury and inflammation from the manipulation.
Infection is unlikely from these features.
You need not do anything - except to continue the dentist's instruction
If in another week, you are not alright, see your dentist again
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
