I am 2 weeks post extraction. Hole is still open. Pain at night. Still quite severe. Extraction, an infection removed. I had unbelievable pain for 1 week. Dentist said it is infected. Was given antibiotics 5 days, mouthwash, packed clover oil thing. No need for painkillers during the day but when I sleep it hurts just as bad as before.. please tell me it will close! Advise on how to avoid infection..I finished antibiotics course.
