Canmom,
OMG!!!!! You have got to be kidding! That woman had no right to interrupt him during your extraction and he was very negligent if he did not debride that socket thoroughly. He knew how concerned you were about being thorough....... I am floored at what happened to you today :/
Water does not clean out the site. That is a truly ridiculous statement! The socket and bone need to be scraped clean. I don't know what to tell you.
I hope you are really lucky and it heals okay.

So he pulled out the tooth and then told me he was going to clean out the site with some water. He put in some gauze and then told me I was ready to leave. I asked him if he scraped everything away and got to healthy bone and he replied, "I made it look nice. That tooth was chronically infected but you are young and healthy I am sure things will turn out for the best." I asked him if he went in 1 millimeter to the healthy bone and he shook his head and said "it is fine, really fine, everything went well." Then he ran out of the room on to his next patient.
I asked the woman at the front desk if I needed a prescription for painkillers or antibiotics but she said no, just take something over the counter if I need it. So here I am hoping everything works out for the best.  |
