*WARNING: not the prettiest sight, but no blood*
Hi everyone!
I had a tooth extracted about 43 hours ago and am concerned about how the area looks. There are sutures in place, yet the little bit of white is worrying me. Unfortunately, the dentist I went to was quite rough, didn't explain anything during the procedure, & didn't ask if everything was okay as I was flailing my arms around on the verge of screaming during the extraction, so I'm hesitant of returning to ask...which is why I'm here hoping anyone can help!
The gum and cheek area have been swollen since the extraction, but no severe pain (taking the antibiotics & Advil as the pain medication prescribed makes me sick).
Should I be concerned?
Thank you!
