Q. I have had a tooth extracted of left upper 6. The dentist couldn’t get it out – I had a lot of trauma worse experience of my life! However 12 days later my mouth feels hot and the gum is SPLIT and it doesn’t look like its healing also funny tingles going on up there.. What is this an infection?… or is gum trying to heal?? Should I go back to dentist? ALSO The same tooth was part of a bridge; the other two teeth (4, 5 is in a shorter bridge now). He suggested an implant; but have been looking up about MAXI Implant which is cheaper and quicker – is this an option? Why didn’t he suggest a replacement bridge? is it because i now i have two missing teeth in that area? Why did the incisor tooth take so long to remove – it was about 10 minutes!! I had a terrible headache! He said because the ‘root’ was thick … is this usually the case?. Surely such difficult teeth should be taken out at the hospital!! Still traumatized patient… Thanks for your reply!
