Hi Rose Anna,

I agree, it sounds like you had a reaction to the medicament used to pack the site. Usually people react favorably to the packing so I'm not so sure what he actually put in there. It is usually a prepacked paste or gauze that is impregnated with clove oil and it reduces the pain immediately. The reason to get it repacked is because it tends to come out easily.

FYI... It is also important not to rinse with anything other than warm salt water. Definitely no mouthwash because the harsh ingredients will irritate the surgical wound and contribute to a dry socket.

Hopefully you will have improvement each day! Keep us posted
Bryanna



QUOTE=Rose-Anna;995661]Hello Bryanna and thank you for your answer.
The packing has fallen out or been absorbed, didn't take long... I think my body didn't really respond very well to it. The spots and blisters on my tongue has subsided and is looking better. The dental surgery is closed until Monday so I will see what happens, it seems better and is healing up. If worst comes to worse, I'm working Sunday and I'm in an ER s I'll just see someone there

The area seems to be healing up properly, its just the pain factor that is a problem at the moment... not even the packing helped really, the area seemed to get more irritated with it then helping, had massive amounts of saliva running as it was in there. Could be the reaction though. Guess I'll just stick to my pain killers and make sure I keep the area clean and that it looks nice and pink and healing. [/QUOTE]
