Sunny,
None of the following is given as mediacal advice, just comments and things I
have done or would try.
OUCH! With that much trauma to the socket area to remove the tooth - in three
pieces, it stands to reason that it is gonna take a while for the bone
"bruising" and trauma to settle down and heal, sort of like it takes a broken
bone a lot longer to heal than a bad tissue bruise. The dentist separated jaw
bone from tooth (bone-like) tissue and a 3 rooter is a task because of the
angles on the roots going in different directions.

Personally, I would probably be gently swishing and swallowing the silver many
more times a day as it is anti-inflammatory as well as helping kill pathogens.
I just feel better when I am taking the silver several times a day.
I made and used a zapper on a tooth root and am having good results. We
are glad I took the plunge as it is a very positive one for me.
Lower jaw swelling is called "dependent edema" a fancy term for describing the
fluids from the swelling in the upper jaw running downhill - from the upper jaw
to the lower one. You may end up with resolving bruising in the lower jaw as
dependent bruising is often very deep and will not be seen until it begins
resolving from the dark to the blue and green and yellow stages.
It would be wise to keep drinking adequate amounts of pure water and stay away
from sugars in the mouth as they can feed all the nasty pathogens just waiting
to set up housekeeping.
The stitch might have been used to pull raw gum edges back together after that
rough extraction. The tissue edges are probably healed but I would not remove
the stich until contacting the dentist on Monday as I do not know about the
moist mouth area and stitches. Leaving the tail on that nylon stitch would
make it easier to remove later.
Are you only swishing the MMS or are you taking it orally so it can reach that
area from the inside also? If MMS is stinging that much I wonder if you would
be kinder to the open and raw tissues by diluting it a bit more???
Seems common sense to be sure to brush the rest of your teeth, very gently and
avoid the sore area. Maybe use Hydrogen peroxide or silver?
I wonder if rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide might also give some
relief. I have been using H2O2 in a water moistened mouth with good results
lately. Just a thought.
I am so sorry you have had such a tough experience and pray you will feel
better soon and heal completely.
Keep us posted on your progress as well as what seems to help and what did
not. Helps us to know these things.
Blessings from Paula in Palacios

Hi Sunny,
As far as I know a "dry socket" is when the blood clot in the socket is
dislodged. I found some information on the web at
http://www.medicinenet.com/dry_socket/article.htm
I hope this is helpful.
Good luck.
PT

Hi all, I know no one can give medical advice, I fully take responsibility
for choosing to follow any 'ideas' anyone may share... as my choice!
I've just had a tooth extracted, upper molar, which required injections of
numbing stuff into the upper palate, lots of drilling to cut up the tooth and
subsequent hacking out in 3 sections..and stitches. It is still painful after
a week and sore..and some nylon loop has now appeared dangling from the area...
husband tried to cut it so it would not catch... but it is hard to do with
scissors. The dentist didn't say anything about soluble stitches or to come
back and have them out....I don't want to revisit him to get 'medication' that
he suggested he would give me if it still hurt after a week.. but I may call re
the nylon-style unbreakable stitch thread...
My lower jaw was swollen as well...and has now gone down but is bruised..must
have been dentist manhandling my mouth during the extraction.
