Q.
Tooth 13 fractured and abscessed. One 1 1/2 weeks after pain began, ended up having to have tooth extracted. Been off antibotic 2 days. One week after extraction, maxilla bone is extremely sore and painful. Called oral surgeon’s office and his assitant not concerned. I lfelt abscess had ruptured into sinus as I had a dark drainage that cleared as I was on antiobotic. Assitant says root of tooth was no where near sinus and I could have sinus infection. I don’t think that’s the case. I’m concerned about the bone being so sore and painful; concerned about there being infection in the bone. There was no swelling on my gum from the abscess. The infection was up in the bone…and I believe my sinus. Should I press my dentist to take a look? Thanks.
