What Is The Cause Of Sore On The Gums After The Extraction Of The Teeth?

Hi. A week ago I had a toothache went to the dentist and tried extraction but due to pain it didn't finish. She said it could have a pus. Was it really that painful despite putting a lot of anesthesia? And so thw dentist prescribed me with cloxacillin 500mg 3xa day and diclofenac sodium every 12hours. Days passed by discomforts went on so I went to another dentist. He said looking at it it was traumatised. So I asked him if it was possible already to pull it out. The first attempt was painful even with anesthesia so he injected again and again until the last dose.. unfortunately I still felt the pain and I just bore the pain for the sake of having it extracted already. 3 days now post extraction and it still feels inflammed even if under amoxicillin and mefenamic acid. Moving my cheeks or mouth still hurts.. I think I may also have some sores on my gums that part where the tooth was extracted.. what am I supposed to do and ro take to feel better? Please help.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction now you feel pain in cheeck and extraction area dont worry it can be due to trauma due to extraction, bony spicules or unhealed socket .

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

Apply ointment Gum paint twice daily on painful Gums.

Take one capsule vitamin B complex once daily for 7 days.

If you wont get relief then go to dentist for oral examination.

Hope this will help you.
