I had bone augmentation surgery done in the upper back jaw some 7 weeks ago. It was to provide bone sufficient to take one or two implants in around 8 months time.
Graft material, I'm not sure what, in the form of white granules was packed into the cavity drilled into the existing bone, and a membrane placed over the top. However I have been in pain ever since! According to my dentist it seems some of the small white granules have found their way past the membrane, and my dentist says it's these that are causing the pain. He has removed some of these loose particles, on four different occasions, but I still have a dull almost constant pain in the area.
I'm very frustrated with the situation, having been suffering, what is like a tooth ache pain, for this period of time.
Any suggestions as to what can now be done? Thank you
