Visitor asks:
A month ago my dentist opened a tooth because of pain. Since my dentist is on vacation until mid-August, the tooth is still open today. Pus is still draining from the tooth, and the gum hurts when pressed near the end of the root. In my opinion the pus should already have stopped draining. I would like to know after how much time the drainage from the tooth should stop.
Kind regards,
Boštjan
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
In principle, drainage of purulent discharge should stop within a few days at the latest. Why it has persisted for so long could only be answered after examining a local or panoramic X-ray.
Have a nice day!
