Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!!!
My dentist treated my lower left first molar. The X-ray showed that all four canals are nicely filled, but a large pus-filled bump has formed on my gum. I am taking Amoksiklav and my dentist promised that on Thursday she would open this pus-filled bump. How is this done? What does she use to open it? I am also taking Marivarin and I would like to know whether the gum bleeds a lot during such a procedure.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
A pus-filled bump, or submucosal abscess, is incised with a scalpel, which is a painless procedure. A drainage strip soaked in a special liquid is inserted into the drainage wound. Because this is a minor procedure, taking Marivarin should not be problematic. According to the guidelines, minor oral-surgical procedures can be performed up to an INR value of 2.4.
Have a nice day!
