I received a gingival graft on my lower teeth and was prescribed Etodolac, as an anti-inflammatory, and Amoxycillin, as an antibiotic. I took the prescribed dose of Etodolac and its effect has been almost unnoticeable. My question is whether I should contact my periodontist regarding my problem or should I go to the Emergency care at a local hospital and speak with a physician immediately as the graft is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and painful.
Hello dear,First don't worry and be relaxed. I will try to provide you my best possible advice. One thing you have not mentioned that how many days before you undergone the surgery. Etodolac is a potent anti-inflammatory agent but since it is not controlling the pain. I will advise you to visit your dentist as soon as possible so that he/she can check the healing of the gum tissue, do any needful procedure and modify the dose or change the medicine. Hope this will help you. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are free to ask me any time. Take Disregards
