Thing of the moment is I had a tooth extracted at the dental school (oral surgery) a week ago Thursday. It was beyond bad & I think infected. I have had headaches, though right now is almost unbearable and my gums are inflamed & my bottom front teeth next to one taken out are very painful. There is another broken off tooth on the top, but they could only do one. That one had been seriously bothering me these last days. I don t feel well at all. All of my teeth need to come out and are decaying. Do you think this is an emergency situation at the moment? Any advice?
Though not an emergency, the situation that you are in demands immediate and complete care. The teeth that have been taken out must have been in a non-salvageable condition. If all your teeth are in a state of decay then I suggest you to complete the treatment where the ones which are not in a very bad state will be filled and restored and the ones which need to be taken out though may not be still bothering you will be removed to prevent any further episodes of pain and discomfort. Also, since the gums as you reported are inflamed and painful a deep cleaning of all your teeth is necessary. If you complete all these procedures without leaving the treatment in between you will be in a state of good dental health soon.
