About tooth extraction. Is this cancer?

Dear friend, We understand your discomfort and pain you are going through.... First of all understand your body signals first, due to Lack of pain and no much discomfort we left the carious premolar for almost a decade in infection. Do you know our bone or body tries to create a wall by depositing more calcium whenever there is more pus or cyst in associated teeth to protect it from spreading to other areas. So if it took infection or damage to produce such impact in more than 5 to 8 years then we must respect our healing system and give time n supportive medicines if required. Sometimes it takes more than 3 to 4 months in case like this one as you remember extraction of wisdom tooth was within minutes but premolar must have taken more time may be half hour ( in some cases ) as tooth becomes brittle due to lack of blood supply and so it breaks n breaks and extraction becomes more of surgical and traumatic... so we all doctors tell our patients to visit early to dentist...

time is solution..  time is the key... don't loose hopes

any dentist who tried extraction must have told you the limitations and prognosis... it's OK. do not repeat same mistake and get replacement of premolar asap. good luck.

Hello I went through your query and found that you are more in stress and this stress creates such changes in your body that it will not let this wound to heal. First of all do not stress yourself . It will be fine within this week. Still if you feel any discomfort we can always go for biopsy to rule out any unnecessary reasons for not healing. Take care of your oral hygiene. Do warm saline rinses. Take your medications properly as prescribed. You don’t have any other option other thn trusting the dentist.so trust your dentist he is the best person to guide you and help you. Just in case you are still worried we are open for a video consultation.

Trust your dentist

Keep good oral hygiene.

It may be due to long standing dental infection. Take antibiotics as prescribed. Maintain good oral hygiene. You can consult through this for further information.

Hi, as you mentioned the premolar was quite decayed when it was removed, with a periapical abscess, it could be the reason why it took this long for the gums to completely cover up the area. The redness looks normal, and should go down soon(7-8days).

Lukewarm saline rinsing 3-4 times a day should help. Avoid eating anything hard that could injure that area.

Hold your faith strong. Your dentist has done a good job. But losing a premolar at 27 years definitely requires more attention from your end to your dental health.

Hello Don’t worry ,this redness ll go ,use gum paint and do gargle with lukewarm water with salt .this is not cancer
