Are there time constraints for redoing a bone graft for a future tooth implant?

cemo88Jan 9, 2019
I had a tooth extracted with bone graft 3 weeks ago. The bone graft didn't take so I'm told it needs to be redone and that it needs to be done ASAP before the current would is fully healed. Does this sound normal?

Hello... after the bone graft is normal feel the lump that probably is bone of the doctor put. Don’t be scared of that it will pass in few days. In case it hurt you, feel so much pain and pus get in contact with your dentist.

I am not sure how long that crown was on there, but that tooth is not good now.  You will need to have that tooth extracted.  See a dentist before you have pain.  Good luck.

This does not sound normal and you should get a second opinion. You should not still be experiencing pain.
