Hello. I grabbed an eight last Friday. A painless procedure, but then it was a bit worse. On Monday I went to the dentist and I was given small aspirin tablets because the pit was "dry" - I applied them into the cavity three times a day, one tablet, until yesterday. The pain is almost gone, but I still have a bad breath of pus and a feeling of pus in my mouth. The hole itself is large and you can see pus in it. Is this a normal situation? Is this how it should heal? What should I do to get rid of my pus?
You may feel pain for 6 to 8 weeks after the eighth extraction procedure. What you call pus is a clot, and such an unpleasant smell comes from a mixture of food particles, saliva and blood. I advise you to buy Eludril mouthwash at a pharmacy and by gently running the liquid through your teeth for 30 seconds, keep the liquid in your mouth. This should be done very gently so as not to rinse out the clot.
