Third molar extraction
Why it still hurts at extraction site when I spit out forcefully even after 3 months of extraction?
Hi!
Pain is extremely uncomfortable and I can totally understand your concern.
Please don't worry about it. Extraction sites take a little longer to heal sometimes.
Next Steps
Follow up questions :
1. Did you get an X ray done after the extraction ( post op x ray) ? (Share it here)
2. Isd you follow all precautions after the extraction.
3. Do you regularly/ occasionally smoke?
4. What medications were you prescribed after extraction?
