I Had A Tooth Removed And A Bone Graft Put

default
Posted on Sat, 28 Nov 2020
Question: I had a tooth removed and a bone graft put in about a month and a half ago.. should I still be feeling sensitive in that tooth area? My tooth was removed because of resorption in the root.. do you think there is still infection in the area.. I went to the doctor .. he looked at it and said it was slowly healing because of my age.. I am 62..it seems like it has not fully filled in and healed up.. does it just take awhile? Should I continue with salt rinses? What else can I do to heal it faster?

There is nothing to be worried so much continue your salt water rinses and if possible upolad the picture of your extraction socket that will be helpful for me to give you proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
