Wish I read your post before I posted.. Thnk I could be off for the same type of treatment. Having had 6 lower and one upper teeth removed within 3 weeks..all infected I'm thinking the pain and "bits" I can feel trying to pop through my gum could be "bits" that none of the dentists looked at. They all pulled.. Grabbed the gauze.. Told me to bite down for 15 mins and if still bleeding change gauze and should be ok after 30 mins. None washed out, cleaned out or really even looked at gum after they were staring with amazement at how long the roots were on my teeth on the tray. Think I will toddle off to ER and get some more antibiotics and front up at dental surgery Tuesday after the holiday. I always say I would rather have a baby than go to the dentist.. Ive had 5 and only take. Just over 6 hr total..and I get something at the end! Dennyboo
