Thanks so much for the information you share on this site. The Endodontist certainly didn't inform me at all. As a matter of fact I feel he lied to me. It is only common sense that the extraction site should have been thoroughly cleaned of infection before I left his office. I asked the question regarding cleaning and he said, "yes, I cleaned it". I'm so upset by all this. Why would he lie to me? How could he still have a practice?
I also have another health issue. In December I broke my ankle, then fell again 6 weeks later - broke the ankle again along with a leg bone. I didn't walk for 4 months. I attend physical therapy as much as I can afford. (No health insurance, Husband lost job) My recovery has been slow. Could this infection have hampered that recovery?
