What Causes Pressure On Gum After Removing Molar?
I had an infected upper molar removed (after 20 year) as soon as the tooth came out, feeling of pressure on the gum, awful taste. The put me on antibiotic - tequin - problem gone for 7 days ///then back in full swing. they says nevers, but nerves are working fine and the tequin did work the first time. i think all I need is another drug - albeit a stronger one or a drain that they can leave in my mouth to get the ful infecion out

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
The symptoms which you are getting are due to the healing socket, dont worry as they will subside after sometimes by its own i would suggest you to follow the post extraction instructions given to you properly, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take complete course of antibiotics and aanlgesics, maintain a good oral hygiene.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Take care!
