frostyjohn,

I agree with you.... there could be a pocket of some sort underneath the gum tissue that keeps filling up. Did any of the dentists probe with an instrument alongside the molar and gum tissue to see if anything drained out?

How are you feeling by the way? Still getting drainage without forcing it?

My top left gum did not heal like my right gum. The only way i can describe it as is my gum is smooth and then sinks down into a soft, crater like pocket above the last two molars. It is not firm behind this part of the gum but squishy. The pocket is is covered with healthy skin, so from the surface it looks like normal gum except with an abnormal ending. My top right gum is smooth and firm like bone all the way back to my last molar.

I've pointed it out to the oral surgeons I have seen, but they don't pay much attention to it. They jut say my gum healed weird, but I think it is contributing to the fluid coming out.
