I had a tooth extracted on Monday and by Wednesday it didn't feel right, it was uncomfortable and my breath was bad. By Friday the pain was through the roof. Been to the dentist who packed it with anaesthetic and clove oil which gave relief for about an hour. No pain relief is touching this, I bought some clove oil which tastes awful but gives some relief. I was just wondering how long is this going to go on for?
my husband is going through a extreme pain from what we think is a dry socket, it's been over 3 weeks since the wisdom tooth extraction and the pain is worst than when the tooth was there. He has tried everything from vicadin to codine, and stronger doss and nothing is working...the only thing that give some confort for a few seconds is holding water in his mouth for a minute. what is this????? The dentist just says keep coming back for some gell, which we bought (clover oil) to do at home as well, and that is not working, but it has only been 3 days of that...how long should that treatment take to work?
any help or advice from anyone is appreciated!!!!!
sincerely,
socket
If your extraction site pain persists more than 2-3 days,you may need switch to other antibiotics. Going back to your dentist to address your pain is advised.
