I recently had 4 of my teeth extracted last monday. 2 in top, 2 in bottom.
one tooth in the upper right had a very long root. he was pulling at it for atleast 5 minutes. this side also took the longest to stop bleeding.
everything has seemed to healup nicely except for the top teeth. the left side of my mouth has a significant bump where the toothth was pulled but there is no pain. im assuming that this is because he expanded my jawbone to extract it. well the top right tooth has a similar bump. but there is a small cut going up pretty high in my gum. he said the tooth had very long roots. at the top of the cut, there appears to be something like a canker sore and it feels like the bone is very close underneath.
will this go away? i read about the horrors of the jawbone growing through the gums, the infections, and complications this creates. will the jawbone eventually shrink back down? or will it get bigger like other bones do when they break. as for the sore at the top, i tried girgling some salt water. i dont know if it will help yet.
