still have pain after tooth extraction bone graft which was done over a month ago, pain comes and goes?

hurting pain comes and goes, I had this tooth extraction bone graft over a month ago, I already took antibiotics and completed it. I don’t know it? why is there still pain. They extracted one upper right molar. I have to house a ice pack over my jaw and mouth to relieve the pain. Do you reckon my body or mouth is rejecting this? Delight let me know as soon as possible? I really would appreciate it. i was thinking about getting a bridge, or possibly a tooth implant soon, but I don’t know now, Not looking forwards to any more future consequences

they doubtless didn’t do it right… i would go see your Dentist again and if anything he can give you a prescription so when you are in pain it will help you!

You need to make an appointment with the dentist/Oral Surgeon who did the extraction and bone graft. There’s a chance that you may have an infection or perhaps even bone fragments or other issues going on at the graft site. You really shouldn’t be in this much pain this far out after your surgery.

There is also the possibility that the pain is really being caused from another tooth that may be decayed or broke.

Delight do see your dentist or surgeon as soon as possible. Best of luck.

If you took a course of antibiotics and you are still having pain it can mean a couple things. 1. you don’t have an infection and that is not the source of your pain. or 2. the antibiotic may not have been strong enough to fight the infection. It sounds like you might have a root tip left in there from the extraction. Sometimes the tooth breaks off and the whole tooth isn’t removed which can definitly produce pain. You need to go back to your dentist so they can take an x-ray and see if any root tips were left in there. Excellent luck!

Answer by blackfangz
I have a front tooth bridge. I could not get an implant because it’s on the top and x-rays showed the bone was of insufficient thickness to support it.

It’s not if you HAVE to get an implant. It is you WANT and CAN have one.

My husband had a bridge on his top front. After numerous being it needed to be replaced. He did get implants. They had to take some bone chips and build up the area around the post for strength. After that healed, they place in the implants. It took a while, it is not exactly cheap, but it will last practically forever, looks very natural – he is pleased with it. I would say most vital do research and get all the facts first before you make a pronouncement, and it does not hurt to get more than one opinion ESPECIALLY if you are going to get an implant. Cheaper is not always the best method. (they were not going to use any extra support around the post – would have not held up long)

If your middle bottom tooth is loose, unless you got hit in the mouth or something like that, I am going to bet that you have periodontal disease. It isn’t normal for a tooth to be converted into very loose as you described, unless it is affected by periodontal disease. Periodontal disease destroys the bone that holds teeth in, and the less bone holding a tooth, the looser it will be converted into. The reason why I brought that up, is because if that is the case, you wouldn not be a excellent candidate for a bridge. The lower anterior teeth are very small teeth, and if one is infected by perio disease, they all are. You cant attach a bridge on teeth like this when they are infected by periodontal disease, produce it wouldn’t last.

Depending on how much bone you have lost, you could possibly get an implant, though, like I said, it all depends on how much bone you have lost.

A cheaper, fleeting fix, would be to have a flipper made. It is removabe and isn’t used for eating, though it wouldn’t make it obvious that you have a gone tooth.

yes you can get a bridge! they would shave down the teeth on both sides of the gone one and place a 3 unit bridge on(1 unit your tooth,2nd unit fake tooth(abutment), 3rd unit your your tooth) it is also the cheapest and if you have insurance it will take in some of the costs otherwise it is still cheaper than an inplant.no insurance covers inplants(reason:decently cosmetic) it is an expensive procedure with many visits to oral surgoen and dentists..they also have to make sure you have alot of dense bone structure to hold the implnt in because it is screwed into your jaw bone….so yes a bridge would be much simpler and cheaper.

Answer by Kelli in FL
You could have a bridge done but you need to make sure that your gums are in excellent shape. Your gums have to be excellent enough to support a bridge or an implant. If your tooth is loose because of gum disease then a dentist would doubtless not do either because they would both fail with unhealthy gums.
