Snowclover,

Unless the oral surgeon has xray vision allowing him to see into places that are not visible to the eye... he cannot say for certain that there is no problems occurring in the bone or the socket.

You need an xray.

It's been 31 days since my extraction, I am still using Sockit, heating pads and Ibuprofen to function. I feel like I'm being dismissed while simultaneously assured to call if I have any concerns. I do have concerns! I have been seen four times post op for pain, told everything looks fabulous and tut tut go home now. I am at a complete loss. Will this pain ever go away?
