Had 2 extractions yesterday morning.. oral surgery help!! paranoid!?

Posted on August 31, 2010

I'd first like to start off by saying.. I do have general anxiety and lately have been paranoid about infections and my health................ due to no insurance, i have had a unfinished root canal that got infected and a root canal right next to it that needed to be extracted. so teeth 30 & 31. my back molar and the one next to it.

dentist told me i had a chronic infection there... and yesterday i was finally able to get them out. i went to an oral surgeon who gave me a payment plan.

now the day after i'm still experiencing some blood especially when i rinse my mouth and it seems like my gum is swollen still and i'm still very sore. i'm wonderin if all this is normal. i am on antibiotics but still paranoid about infectiong :( any input would help.........

is all this discomfort normal? i hurts on that side when i swallow. i feel like my gum is attached to my cheek. its difficult to talk and eat still. and is the blood still normal? it was a lot more blood yesterday the day of the surgery but now its mostly if i talk to much or rinse my mouth.

please any advice. is this something to worry about? or am i just stressing myself out?

i also have like an on and off dull pain like pressure in my temple on side i had extractions............

I do have general anxiety and lately have been paranoid about infections and my health................ due to no insurance, i have had a unfinished root canal that got infected and a root canal right next to it that needed to be extracted. so teeth 30 & 31. my bottom back tooth and the one next to it.

dentist told me i had a chronic infection there... and thursday i was finally able to get them out. i went to an oral surgeon who gave me a payment plan.

now days after i'm still experiencing soreness in the area and jaw. there is a litte blood especially when i rinse my mouth and it seems like my gum is a little swollen AND it has like whitish stuff on it?? my mom and everyones who looked at says its probably just healing and looks ok. i'm wonderin if all this is normal. i am on antibiotics but still paranoid about infectiong :( any input would help......... i don't have throbbing pain.....

so for the past 1yr and a half i have put off fixing a pretty serious dental issue... i have an unfinished root canal and a root canal.. that i guess both need to be taken out!!! 4months ago a dentist told me that they cannot be saved and need to be extracted..... i have little pain, the teeth are tender and last week the oral surgeon said i have a chronic infection there so they need to be taken out...... i will not be able to take them out for maybe another week or 2weeks because i need to SAVE UP!! it is not cheap.. and even the payment plan they are askingf or up front i don't have enough for atm..............

i'm feeling what i think are swollen glands or lymph nodes in that area.. they are the two bottom back teeth. it's not crazy pain , its bareable... but i'm paranoid......... i've been reading crazy stories about blood poisoning or infection spreading to the brain or throat ..through out the body?!!!!? =(

i asked the oral surgeon if the reason i have on and off sore throat lately is from that and he said not likely but that i need to have them removed...............

i do have anxiety so all the things ive been readin online are not helping.

whats ur input? and advice
I KNOW I NEED TO GET THEM REMOVED. MY QUESTION IS ..IS WAITING ANOTHER WEEK GOING TO KILLLLLL MEEEEEEEEE
