Tooth extraction AFTER an infection?

Tooth extraction AFTER an infection. New years eve, I started experiences some pain in my lower right tooth, nothing was open on new years day so I had to wait till the next day to call the dentist. He said I had an infection and put me on antibiotics and pain killers to kill the pain.

Well that night, I got a little bubble on my gum, and than the pain went away, but my cheek started swelling up. I called the dentist and they sent me to an oral surgeon to drain the infection, he said I had cellulitis, I finished the antibiotics last sunday, and I got my tooth out today. He put me back on more antibiotics, but I was wondering how the infection goes away?

Will it spread now that my tooth is out? Will it get worse im afraid its going to come back.. thats the last thing I want! If anyone knows any information on this.. please help!

The antibiotics should kill the infection, now that the tooth is out.....the infection should subside and go way. If your very concerned...see another dentist....it appears ypu do not have faith in YOUR dentist. Is this someone you have seen for years?

Is he your dentist normally? My dentist has been my dentist for 16 years and he would have opened up for me on New Years Day-no matter what. Also It cost me 22,000 and years..to realize that going to the dentist at least two times a year for cleaning & check up is the waY TO AVOID the pain....I have so much DENTAL pain in my life.....and it has cost me tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$....so now I know its better to go BEFORE I get pain.

1 You will be fine, the tooth was the source of the infection in your gum tissue , this is why it was extracted. Antibiotics are given to prevent reinfection or sometimes a condition know as a dry socket , if the pain and swelling are diminishing then you are on the mend.

2 Just make sure you finish the whole course of antibiotics. Lots of people quit taking the pills when the pain stops and that won't kill the infection. I had an infected tooth pulled last month and the antibiotics took two weeks to complete but the infection is dead.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
