Hi janieburmy,

I am not a dentist but I am in the clinical aspect of dentistry for over 30 years. I can offer you some information here if you could share a bit more about the history of those teeth.

Had one or both of those teeth been root canaled? If so, how long ago? Did either of them have a root canal re treatment and/or apicoectomies performed at any time? Were they both periodontally involved? Had you ever developed fistulas, red pus filled bumps above the teeth? Do you have generalize periodonal disease throughout your mouth?

Thanks,
Bryanna





QUOTE=janieburmy;1134843]I had an upper implant and an extraction of the tooth next to the implant space that had a peridontal pocket infection so two teeth involved here). It's 10 days on and I am still getting a yellowy discharge from (I think) the extraction socket and not the new implant next to it. This tastes sour and is constant and profuse. I'm on antibiotics and am rinsing and cleansing the area carefully. I have no pain whatsoever apart from a little gum tenderness. I have faith in my dentist who thinks it will settle but to have this constant drip is a little unnerving.
Does anyone know what this constant seepage could be? I'm assuming it's an infection but it doesn't really have all the usual hallmarks.
Any help would be appreciated especially if from a dentist...[/QUOTE]
