Asked By:norwegian_25 in Spokane, WA

I had a root canal and crown on this tooth 3 yrs ago, began having pain again 1 mo ago, general dentist said infected and needs extracted. 14 days ago had extraction and bone graft done. Pain requiring narcotics still. Re-X-ray 4d ago fine. Yesterday was starting to feel better then today while rinsing a part of I assume the bone graft came out. Dentist office says still ok as they pack bone graft deep down. I still see white bone material down in hole. But now pain is bad bad again. Worried!
