19028025 tn?1473902866 I had a tooth extraction on Monday morning and it was a painless process. It bled for about two hours, then stopped. I assume a clot formed. I have been on a light diet of mashed potatoes, pudding, and apple sauce since. I have not used a straw nor have I spit. I have had some excess saliva, so I have had to swallow often. It does feel a lot like sucking through a straw, I suppose. I do not smoke, etc.
Avatar m tn He said he was negative. Thing is I had a tooth extraction about a week ago and I was wondering would that be a risk for exposure to hiv?

Avatar m tn It was the right upper wisdom tooth. In the same day after my wisdom tooth extraction, I developed nasal congestion in the right nostril. From that day till now, the nasal congestion has been present everyday and it alternates between nostrils from time to time. I've visited the ENT twice. The first time, the doctor did a nose scope and confirmed that my nose was congested. She then prescribed me Nasonex nasal spray to be used for 6 weeks (2 puffs in each nostril, once a day).
Avatar n tn A periodontist has determined that when my dentist put a post in my (root-canaled) tooth before putting on a crown, he perforated the tooth, with the post positioned between the roots rather than inside a root... There is probably some gum infection and tooth now wobbles some. The periodontist is recommending extraction, bone graft, and implant. Are there any other options to treat and save this tooth??
