my name is donnie. i recentlyhad 2 teeth removed by an oral surgent. it was 3 months ago. i am still having some pain in my left jaw around where they were removed. is it normal for this long?. i am 63 yrs old and i guess it may take a longer time to heal
Hello, As far as pain after tooth extraction is concerned, this can be due to unhealed socket or due to presence of bony spicules. For this, I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and intramural periapical radiograph for proper diagnosis. In the meantime, do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day, and you can apply gum paint ointment on gums for pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
