<s>[INST] Recently had my front tooth removed (root included) and currently have a tooth denture waiting for it to heal in preparation for implant. However, with my tongue I have squeezed out some pus and it really stinks...I am rinsing with warm salt water and am brushing flossing regularly...also have been continually taking nurofen gel caps for the pain & swelling...should I be worried about the stinky pus?? I m endeavouring to go to after hours doctor asap coz I just want this to all go smoothly for the coming implant...thoughts?? [/INST] Hello there....It's been how long you have your front teeth extracted???? Presence of pus is indicative of infection... What was the reason for your teeth removal? Inspire of antibiotic coverage, if pus discharge still persists, culture sensitive test needs to be performed ... It is evident that microorganisms are resistant to the antibiotics used and change of antibiotic is mandatory... if sterilization procedures are not well maintained that would also lead to infection... Usage of denture is not ideal before implant placement...use it only when you go out in public...continuous usage of denture is not indicated as it would pre-dispose to bone loss... for implant success you need to have enough bone.... In your present condition I would advise you to wait for at least 3-4 months before the implant placement... Get yourself examined clinically for further management... </s>
