Thanks for the advice I was back at the dentist Thursday and he said its still not healed. I don't know what a root canal is but the tooth that was extracted had a post crown and the Crown feel or after I bit into a corn in the cob (have had the Crown many years) and what had happened is the actual bit of tooh left had cracked so the post couldn't be recemented in I don't wear the partial as it's too painful. I have to go back Thursday again see if it's healed bet the roof of my mouth by the extraction is sore and feels swollen but solid and I have now come down with what feels like a cold sinuses aching and headaches the dentist never mentioned an infection
