Hello again,

I just came back from the dentist and my doctor said the sockets from the wisdom teeth removal are healing well and look to be in good condition. He gave me a syringe to flush out any debris from the hole and they should close up within the month.

I notified him about the pain I was experiencing in my first molar on the left side and I got an X-ray. Turns out it was infected since the mercury filling hadn't never been replaced and was installed a long time ago (he said he doesn't even know how long ago haha). That's what was causing all the pain and sensitivity.

I was prescribed antibiotics and 600mg Motrin for the pain. I'm going to have a root canal preformed on the 21st, I hope this will solve my pain issues for good!

Thank you for the replies and insight, I'm really glad that I don't have a dry socket or any other serious problems concerning my wisdom tooth extraction. Hopefully the root canal procedure will go smoothly and painlessly!

Sincerely,
Tab
