Well, things are finally better! I had my gums drained. After that the throbbing and pain went away, but they were still swollen. A few days later I accidentally hit that area with my toothbrush. It bled like crazy and I thought it was a bad thing, but the swelling went away and everything cleared up a few days later.

Before all of that, I asked the oral surgeon to take an X-ray, but he said the small bones wouldn't show up, so no X-ray.

I asked the oral surgeon if I could have a hole into my sinuses. He said they normally close on their own and we should wait. I contacted my ent and he said the same thing.

I asked theOS about sargenti paste and he said nobody in this area (madison, wi) uses it. He said my X-ray from before the extraction shows gutta percha, not sargenti. Thanks
