Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2005Problem after Extraction
I had multiple teeth removed last week. After a day or 2, I realized one of the sockets was not closing on an extracted left rear tooth, and that it was open to my nasal passage. When I rinse my mouth, water can travel through the socket into my left nostril. I am seeing the oral surgeon tomorrow (it was the soonest he would be there). What will it take to correct this problem? I'm very nervous and scared of what he's going to do. Numb it up, currette, resorbable pack/grafting material, and suture. Usually not too big a deal. Good luck, Dartos > I had multiple teeth removed last week.

These often will close by themselves, others must be surgically closed. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com > Oro-Antral Fistula. > > These often will close by themselves, others must be surgically closed. For small ones, I often just slide over a small pellicle of tissue and re-suture.  Signature/ Amatus / > >>I had multiple teeth removed last week.

Most times they will close by themselves if proper AB and decongestant is used. If it needs primary closure it is easy enough. Sliding a bit of the palate over the defect and suturing is usually sufficient. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com > If it needs primary closure it is easy enough.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Take out the G'RBAGE > wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Thank you for all the replies. I saw the Oral Surgeon today and like you said, he prescribed Augmentin and Sudafed. He also scheduled me to have it closed surgically in 2 weeks if not closed on it's own. he said he would make 2 slits and flap it over the opening then suture. This is at an additional charge of $750.00 which my insurance is not covering. He also said it would only take about 10 minutes. Does this money sound outrageous?? >Thank you for all the replies.

Which in most cases it will if given enough time. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com |
