Common Questions and Answers about Mouth infection after surgery
infection
hello, I had a gum graft done 5 days ago. they took skin from the roof of my mouth and stitched it to the gums where I am missing the tooth. (tooth #12) I am eventually getting a dental implant done, but I needed a gum graft done and then once it heals a bone graft done then finally the implant. my question is..... I have heard of some ppl feeling a lot better within days.. I have more pain now then I did the first cpl days? is this normal.
I have completed the course of antibiotics that I was prescribed after the surgery and the anti-inflamatories and panadine fort I was prescribed have done nothing more than make me feel ill. I have been cleaning my teeth and rinsing with salty water. I don't smoke and I have been sticking to soft food and no hot drinks.
Is it possible I have an infection? If so what can I do to relieve my pain?
Hi, I need some advise regarding my teeth.
I had a root canal done on my tooth 19th maybe about 3 years ago.
2 years ago my gum swelled because of pus & infection therefore the dentist did another root canal to remove the infection. I found out last sep. that there's some infection underneath that same tooth again, but
because of some complication with insurance i didn't do anything about it till now. This time there's no swelling or pain or any sort of discomfort.
re ending up sleeping with your mouth open, as opposed to breathing through your nose. Mouth breathing will definitely dry your mouth out much faster. Unfortunately, I don't really know of any way to keep your mouth from dropping open when you fall asleep, but if you make sure your nose is very clear when you lay down - and not congested at all - it might help you to be able to breathe through your nose instead.
Best of luck!
I am 62 years old, and have been healthy. Last April I had an infected wisdom tooth removed. Weeks before and after I had terrible sinus issues (NEVER had a sinus infection before) Dentist discovered a tiny fistula, a hole to my sinus. Told me not to blow my nose for 3 weeks. When I went back, he said it was closed (and in fact, foul tasting drainage had stopped) but x ray showed my sinus was still infected, my sinus was still clogged. I was on assorted antibiotics for 6 months.
I have had a reoccurring infection after a root canal over the past two years. Now my hands & feet are swelling up and showing arthritis like symptoms. Very painful. I am having mouth surgery very soon to "clean out" the cavity that has formed from the infection eating away the bone tissue in the area near where the root canal was done.
first immediately after the surgery and second starting 4 days ago.
My concern is that it's not getting better even with such strong antibiotic (two courses of the latter), but rather worse: the swelling to include my left cheek and a bit in my neck after so many days after the surgery.
I would appreciate any advice as to how to proceed. Almost two weeks now (12 days) after surgery now.
Thank you.

I had terrible pain in my upper tooth over Memorial wkend. A year previous, that tooth's filling came out. There was a small crack & I chose to have the tooth filled. But it was never right, as I couldn't use it w/o pain. The Tues after Mem day wkend, I had a root canal done on the tooth. But since, there was still pain in the gum above the tooth when I press it. I can chew w/o pain.
My mom is six weeks out from having a TKR where they used titanium but was I was informed today that her knee replacement WAS NOT total titanium. within 2 wks post surgery my mom developed a bad smell in sinuses, a very bad bitter metallic taste in her mouth, she's has had constant nausea for six weeks now along with loss of appetite to which she has lost considerable amount of weight, severely depressed with anxiety now..
oral sex. He is a healthy man, and got tested as a pre-requisite for dentist surgery (what I mean to say is, he is not sick or anything). We both went to the RED CROSS, and got tested. His results were, again, HIV positive. My results were negative (which means I'm not infected). This was one week ago. If I had been infected the past year and a half, it would have shown.
The dentist again took xrays and said that he could not find the area causing the problem and would need to do exploratory surgery. I had this surgery two days ago. It was very painful and took two hours. I had to have 2 addtional novacaine shots during the procedure. The dentist said he found that on one root of the tooth, it was thin and the filler material from the root canal was touching my gum through this roo because the tooth root was so thin is was actually broken through.
Hi there,
It is common to have some discomfort after surgery. A follow up visit is important after any surgery. In this visit the doctor will clean and examine the operative site. It is possible that there was packing left in your nose which is causing bad taste in mouth and nose. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. For more queries and assistance visit an ENT specialist. I hope it helps.
Best luck ad regards!
m guessing that the radiation damaged the salivary gland, which caused dry mouth, and hence the back-up/infection in the gland.
Currently taking 300mg clindamycin 4 times a day, for two weeks. Doc told me to call after one week if not vast improvement and so far, day 5, not seeing much improvement. Any thoughts, experience would be appreciated.
