  • No worries! That does sound frustrating. And recovering from extractions is painful.

    As I understand it, the antibiotics are mainly because mouths are full of bacteria. You don’t want bacteria breeding in the extraction site and turning into an infection. If your surgeon gave instructions for rinsing with warm salt water, that can keep bacteria from growing there too. Just make sure to be gentle until it starts to heal more.
















  • This isn’t a direct answer, but from your other comments, I think it’s useful advice.

    Talk to a therapist about this. If you don’t have one, find one. You sound unhappy in your relationship. Sometimes that’s strictly a relationship problem, but often there’s personal work that needs to be done. Doing that personal work might help you be happy in your current relationship or it might help you leave that relationship and transition to something better.
