What Is Causing Recurring Infection In Gums After Having Antibiotics After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
My son had his two lower wisdom teeth pulled Nov 20, 2013. The first of Dec he had to go back for an infection in gum on lower right side. It cleared up and then another infection occurred New Years on the lower left side. Antibiotics again and seemed to clear up. He is now having swelling and pain on the lower right side again. What could be causing this?

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
I would suggest you to take an OPG x-ray , and thorough checkup.
This could be due to infection.
Get full mouth scaling,polishing and curettage done.
Take the course of antibiotics and analgesics.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
