Hi leesal,

Could you please clarify that I understand your dental situation?

Tooth #30 extracted.
Grafting done 19,20,28,29 sites and I assume #30.
~~When was 19, 20, 18 and 29 removed?

~~Tooth #30 had a dry socket with a new graft in it?

~~When did you have the implants placed and in which areas exactly?

When using homeopathy like Arnica for swelling and pain, it is not wise to take more than prescribed. Taking more does not mean it will work better.

When you get a chance, please clarify and I will see if I can offer you some helpful information.

Thanks,
Bryanna

Tooth 30 ended up with a dry socket and infection. I'm on Flagyl for the infection which seems to be helping.

The bone graft for tooth 20 is exposed. My Dr. who did the implants said the grafting might not have worked and I may have to redo it. The graft on the left is still painful. My question is this, is this normal tow weeks post op and if so how do I proceed?

If the graft needs to be redone, I feel like maybe I should find a new surgeon to do the bone graft since I've had so many complications. I've been taking lots of Arnica. What should be normal post op pain at two weeks?
