I just had 6 molars extracted out of my mouth on Friday morning. It is now Sunday night. I had an infection in 2 of the molars on the bottom right side. I finished a full prescription of antibiotics before the teeth were pulled, but i do believe that the infection was still there a little bit. Well, it is now the third day after the teeth were pulled, and the one side seems like it is healing just fine, where the other side, where i had 4 teeth pulled, 2 on top, and 2 on bottom, seems to be healing differently. There is a thick white film over the two teeth that had the infection, covering the hole where the teeth were pulled from, and all i can see is white. Is that normal?? Also, my jaw is hurting, when i open my mouth it hurts a little bit as well. yesterday i didn t really have any of this pain, and now it seems today it seems I m getting these pains. I also have a bad taste in my mouth. I have been rinsing with warm salt water, and eating what i can. I have been brushing my teeth, but not the extracted areas. I m just really worried about getting a dry socket. I m getting hot flashes tonight , and i m just constantly tired. I think i am going to go back to the dentist tomorrow morning, but in the meantime, can you let me know if all this is normal in the healing process? Thanks so much
