It may be helpful to have a 3D dental scan to help evaluate that site and the sinus area irrelevant of whether the oral surgeon goes back in to clean it out or not. The course of treatment would depend on the findings of the 3D dental scan.

extraction site and throat and a few times from nose sometimes with bad smell.
Now off antibiotics for 2 weeks. not sure if still infection as only feeling something running back of my throat (don't know colour but no smell) and maybe sometimes salty fluid from extraction site. My OS said to wait 2 weeks and come back and he would probably reopen to clean up the sinus
maybe food stuck in there that my body cannot evacuate) but he told me that he would not require a CT scan first (when I asked)
I would like to know if this is best option and if CT scan would not be advisable before reopening. Are there any alternatives?
Thanks for your advice
