Hi everyone. So, I'm not sure wether this is the correct place to post this but i am now in both excruciating pain and sincere worry about my recent experience.
I have a horrible phobia of the dentist and usually have to book months in advance to ensure I am fully sedated before any procedures. However, 2 days ago, Tuesday, I had been suffering pain that had stopped me sleeping for 5 days and bit the bullet and decided I had to see a dentist, with or without sedation.
In the dentists chair, I had no X-rays as I could feel the exact root of the pain and the dentist could evidently see it. I had 3 injections. 2 on the outside of the gum, and one on the gum behind the tooth. Completely numb, I had the tooth extracted. It took 30 minutes with my head vigorously being thrown side to side trying to extract this tooth. The tooth snapped while been extracted, some able to be removed with the plier like extraction tool, the remainder being picked out with what can only resemble a scraping tool(?)
she advised due to the trauma my mouth experienced, I would be sore for the next few days as it was an extremely complicated tooth and the root was oddly shaped which caused the original problems.
I am now having agonising pain. My full gum on the side of the extraction is in agony. I cannot lower my top and bottom teeth into each other as it's unbearable. My gum and the hole where the tooth was removed is constantly throbbing. I have excessive saliva build up and disgusting breath although I've continued brushing and rinsing.
The actual hole where the tooth was removed feels like there's skin flapping about, it also feels extremely tight and sensitive. My jaw movement is restricted and I can't fully open my mouth.
I have been taking codeine based tablets, tramadol, ibuprofen and other OTC pain killers. Any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated.
