Bone graft after extraction site is brown, cold, tastes awful and painful. Advise? (photo)

LiligeeMay 3, 2019
I had an extraction on my 36 on Monday, I've followed what little directives I received. Now, Friday, I have been feeling consistent pain that has increased in the past two days, the taste in my mouth is horrid, the site feels cold and my jaw on the left side hurts. The site looks brown and white.

Hello, Not, you cannot get an infection behind your ear, maybe is into your mouth and you feel the pain behind your ear. I suggest you go to your doctor to value it before you get worst. Good luck!

It is good that you tell your dentist that  did the bone regeneration on the discomfort that you are feeling in the area where the implant was removed.  I think that by taking a periapical radiograph the doctor could rule out a possibility of infection.

All placed bone graft can not be pressed by the Provisional tooth, if pressed it can decrease the expected result
