Hi Guys,
I had a Lateral Incisor extracted just over 3 months ago because of failed root canals and continual infections (abscesses) in the tooth after a crown was placed. I decided to have it extracted and then later opt for a bridge or implant.
3 months on, i now have a lump just above the extraction site like i had when i had an infection, no pain as of yet this time.
Since the extraction i have had 2 left hand side molar's root treated and i'm still having problems with my right hand side molars that i'll need to sort out in the future.
Why has this lump come back? Is the area still infected? Please see attached picture.
Thanks.
