Glad you got it checked out just for your own piece of mind, hope you feel better in the morning x x

Thank you Tessar, Edie and Nicola. Still throbbing this morning but hope it will pass soon.
It hasn't been quite so painful today but I could feel something sticking on the gum. I tried to brush it gently and it is black blood. I almost fainted when I saw it and had to lie down. Hubby says I should leave it alone to wash away itself and not try to brush it. What do you think? I just hate the feeling of it being there :(
Yes Annie, you must leave it alone. Please don't play with it, even tho I know it's irritating. You really have to let it heal naturally & not pick otherwise you might make it worse or just slow down the healing process.
Your tongue is very sensitive and anything in your mouth feels so much bigger than it really is. If the pain is dying down then it is healing. I agree it's best to leave it if you can.
You can always call the dentist to double check if it's worrying you.
It has been aching a bit again but I guess I can't do anything about it until I get home other than keep taking the pain killers. I just wish I could stop worrying about it. It has been 1 week today.

Does anyone know what happens to the stuff they pack the tooth with? Does it disintegrate?
I did try looking it up but what I read is inconclusive, I can't tell if it's meant to come out itself after a few days or what. Did they say anything to you? Does your mouth taste ok? I wish I was an expert but I don't want to mislead u.....
I asked my daughter if the dentist had said anything and I don't have to go back so I guess it stays in. It does have an awful taste but from what I read, the packing contains some sort of anaesthetic and clove oil. The taste is worse first thing on a morning. It should disintegrate. It feel a bit better today so I guess it is improving.... I just panic about things too much but I guess you have already noticed that!
I'm glad it's showing signs of improvement, Annie... You have been very patient. What's that you say...... You, panic????? Nooooo you must be talking about somebody else...surely.......
