Suggest Treatment For Gum Pain After Tooth Extraction
I had my fractured L/L 6 Molar extracted by a dentist in Bangalore under open extraction method. He had not put any sutures to close the gums over the socket. I was prescribed Moxikind CV 625 1 tid, Metrogyl 400 1 bid, and Enzoflam 1 tid and Omez 20mg 1 OD on empty stomach in the morning. Now, even after a week of tooth extraction the wound is open and the bone is visible below. There is inflammation of gums around the socket and a few ulcers have developed. I have throbbing pain in my left lower gum. The dentist who did the extraction is not available now. Please let me know what I should do?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have painful socket dont worry you should consult dentist and go for irrigation of socket and Zinc oxide eugenol pack.
This is Dry socket formation thats why you are feeling pain and inflammation .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Consult dentist and go for treatment early as possible.
Hope this will help you.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that after1 week of extraction you still have open socket with ulcers and severe pain, it looks that you are having dry socket, actually it occurs in case of stressful extraction.
In this case you have to visit another dentist or an oral surgeon to get it treated, as he will place a pack on tye socket and the pain will be relieved.
Hope it will help you.
