I'm sorry for any bad spelling or grammar but I'm using my phone and I am in a lot of pain.
I have a problem I had a full dental clearance last Friday under a general but was released same day. I have been in agony since and I am still having trouble eating. I have stitches top and bottom.
Tuesday the pain was becoming too much so I contacted my dentist for an emergency appointment as was told I had a really bad infection in all my gums. I haven't smoked since the day before my operation and kept away from smokey environments as well as followed all the aftercare advice they gave although salt water I am finding difficult as the pain from it makes me want to pass out.
I have an appointment on Monday for dentist to check the infection but as swelling has gone down there is a sharp bit in my mouth along my jaw n when I have looked it looks like my gum has separated from the bone. I have tried to take the best pic I could to try and show why I say jaw bone.
Is this normal after a dental clearance and how long will it take to heal and how do I ease the pain please. I have hardly slept or eaten much since the operation and am only managing baby food and mash.
