on second week of dry socket the dentist numbed me up and cleaned socket out and removed a small piece of bone and showed me it, she said bone can come away on extraction. I don't have a copy of the xrays I only came away with my massive tooth as it had 3 big roots. Something is just not right, pain isnt normal and does not feel same as before.
saw dentist yesterday who brought in another dentist who is an oral surgeon but she said it isnt needing the sinus nerve doing as that is okay. She said that it is still healing which is why I have alot of pain even at 4weeks. she could still see the stuff they put In nearly 2 weeks ago in the socket. she said the pain in my jaw must be from me clenching my jaw via teeth.
yes taking the ibrupifen and paracetamol but the throbbing and aching in jaw is not reducing yet, it was 4 weeks on friday so now into week 5. Wake up in morning and pain is 1 out 10 so fail to see how I'm clenching teeth or jaw, pain seems to rise throughout the day and worse at night even with all pain killers. Dentist said 2 more weeks which takes me to around 6 weeks, never heard of pain lasting this long in extract site and jaw ever. Have you?
I just dont know what to do. no xray to share, but had another taken today and it shows socket all healed over and bone healing nicely. Dentist says there is absolutely no reason for my pain, she is stumped.
