Have I got a blood clot in my cheek?

Question:

Hey.
I've had a wisdom tooth out, have been told that there has been inflammation in it. My cheek is really great, like I have a tennis ball on one side of the mouth, a colleague says that it may be a blood clot in my cheek is that correct? If yes, when will disappear and you can do something for yourself that it will disappear faster?

Christina

Answer:

Dear Christina,

It's perfectly normal to swell after a wisdom tooth removal. If you believe that there is infection, then you should contact your dentist right away and get some penicillin for it. Typically you will be uncomfortable with fever if an infection. If it is general swelling, then nothing is done, but be patient, it disappears by itself. You can put a cold compress on the first 2 days after tooth extraction, or fomentation the following days.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

Complications of nose after surgery

Question:

I've just got rodspidsamputeret a molar. I have been very irritated from næserodene and over to the wounded. Slightly swollen and throbbing in the nose wing. I then began to increase around the tooth and found inflammation. My gums from the tooth and up into the palate is very irritated. After pondocillin and metronidazole treatment is both nose and palate still very irritated. It makes as little sore tooth when I chew and it gets ripped out. There is a crack in the tooth. So it had to get out. Is now six hours very annoyed at the gum from the now missing tooth and up into the palate and nose dunking much, right down to the lower jaw. The teeth in the wound has been irritated / sore for a while Is this all because of the bad tooth electricity is there something else wrong also up near the nose? It started after the operation - that is amputation.

What causes swelling of the gums?

Question:

I've got a crown of -6 and several times experienced a lateral swelling of the gums and tested penecillin and several times klorheksidin pasta but it comes back, it is very sore when I press the swelling, what might that be??

Brian

Answer:

Dear Brian,

This indicates that the tooth must rodbehandles. There is probably an inflammation of the nerve of -6 or perhaps one of the neighboring teeth. The tooth must rodbehandles does not mean that you also need a new crown on it, unless it is necessary. Dentist root canal treatment through the crown.

Hope you can use my answer.
