Well I finally went to see an oral surgeon yesterday. Turns out I don't have an abscess. He said the area actually looks like it is healing well. I guess the pimple on the gum and bleeding, he believes is being caused by bone chips that are stuck in the socket area (I hope I understood him correctly). He said alot of times it can cause inflammation. He said the pimple on the gum is gone, but there's a tiny little hole that he thinks bone may have come out of. He said the body will try to push the bone chips (he actually had a name for them) out on their own, but if they don't come out in a week, he wants to make an incision and clean the area out. He also told me to wash my hands really good, wet my finger and massage the gum above the area to bring blood to it to help speed up the healing. And the sinus issue I was having seems to either be healed or is healing really well too. I guess according to him, oral surgeons have more skill with extracting teeth and aren't as barbaric as my dentist was (my words, not his). I go back tomorrow and he will evaluate it again before I leave on vacation. He also seemed to genuinely care about how distraught I have been. Refreshing change from what I've been dealing with the last 6 weeks! Thanks again Bryanna!
