Visitor asks:
Hello.
Two days ago I had my upper second premolar removed. The tooth area, or the socket, still hurts, and today it is visibly purulent. Do I need to visit a dentist?
Thank you for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Pain after tooth extraction is a relatively common complication (for a few days after the procedure). If the pain is severe, you should certainly contact a dentist, who will prescribe an analgesic, recommend cooling, or perhaps even antibiotic therapy.
Have a nice day!
