Wisdom Teeth

I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled 8 days ago.  One of the teeth I guess was
complicated and they had to drill into my bone and split my gum or
something allong those lines.  I woke up before it was done and he was
cracking that tooth with pliers and then I went back to sleep.

That one socket is still in the most pain and I looked in there today
and it appears as if there is a little piece of tooth.  I poked it with
a toothpick and it felt hard and didn't hurt.  It also appears that my
cheek is kinda mutelated and it will heel that way (not too bad but
kinda sloppy).  The pain in that socket is from the cut wounds not from
that piece of tooth.

I think everything will eventually heal but that piece of tooth has me
baffled.  Should I go get a second opinion if that's even possible?  My
surgeon is around only once a month.

Some of my regular teeth are also in pain since the surgery.  They feel
sensitive and it annoying the hell out of me.  Could it be that the
nerves run through all the teeth and if there's pain in one it's
possible to have pain in others at the same time?

Thanks for your time,
Dave.

___________________________________

You say that your surgeon "is around only once a month." Since surgery
commonly involves the need for post-operative visits, it is the
surgeon's responsibility to take care of any problems that crop up in
the postsurgical period.

The surgeon can either answer your call himself and take care of your
needs, or he can arrange for another dentist to attend to any surgical
sequelae. Either way, it is the surgeon's responsibility to arrange for
postsurgical care.

Often the surgeon wonders why you haven't called yet. Have you called
him?

I have a post-op appointment in 2 weeks and I just feel it's too long.
I'll give them a call.
