I had some major work done 2 days ago. 2/1/2 hours in the chair. (upper front) bridge work. They had extract the rest of the tooth that broke off and stich the gum. Then "ground" down the teeth on either side and fit a temporary bridge which I am wearing. The assistant gave me a few Antephedimene tablets (600mg) and said to rinse with salt solution 5 times a day.
No one said My lip would be swollen and pain these next days. Is this normal? should I get an antipiotic or will the swelling and discomfort gradually go away in a week or so. My next appointment is in 6 weeks as the dentist wanted the sutures to heal before the final fitting. What say all you bridge veterans!!
Dental Bridge-"After shock!"?
If its still swallen after two days and painful, see ur dentist for some advise. there could be an infection probably in the gum around the bridge. sometimes u have a bad reaction to temporary bridge in mouth.
Keep rinsing with warm salty water and dont worry too much.

Reply:Everything you're describing sounds normal.
Reply:Most likely your discomfort and swelling was from the tooth extraction.
Even though your dentist probably used resorbable sutures (since he told you to go back in 6 weeks), to be safe you can always ask the dentist for a follow-up to check the extraction site.
Give them a call, and good luck.
