HI,
I had a failed Root canal tooth removed 9 days ago and am finding it still giving some pain and still very tender.
I went back to the dentist 4 days after the surgery and he packed some clove extract soaked gauze in it which lasted a couple of days... but now it has fallen out it is back to being a little painful. I was under the impression that i would be completely pain free after 7 days?
The dentist said it all looked perfect and no signs of infection or dry socket so i guess my question is:
Assuming the tenderness is from a dry socket, will it just naturally heal over time? am i looking at many more days / weeks/months?
