Almost 2 months ago I thought I had an infected wisdom tooth so I went to the oral Doc and he agreed and removed it. It was the lower left 3rd molar I guess. Since then I have had this strange sensation in my jaw area.
I know he used at least 3 gelfoam pads and thought that it was just them waiting to disolve but I dont know. It feels like there is inflamation and my jaw feels stiff at times.
I also feel as if there is something swollen under my jaw bone and that side of my tounge feels weird. I dont have a fever but do get slight pain and a tingly pressure in my temple.
Also the area feels hot but not to the touch. When I move my eye to the left i feel more pressure in the temple. This may be several things at once and maybe the Bb is effecting the soft tissue in that area. I really could use some help...........

i wish i could help you. right now i'm having dental problems.
i had a root canal many years ago. not my normal dentist. well the dang thing got infected and had to be redone. i went back to my regular dentist and had to have it redone THAT day, i was that ill.
so now every couple of years i get this sort of pimple blister on my gum and it just aches and hurts. the entire area gets bright red and so sore i can't bite down.
guess i'll have to go have it checked out, but the last time, guess what? nothing showed up, so i just stay sore and use lots of listerine........

HI-
You may want to give a holistic dentist a try.
All of my lyme problems were triggered by a
botched dental implant. That and loads of
steroids and antibiotics.
Sometimes removing teeth can open up a
cavitation site, causing release of toxins and
bacteria.
You can ask a LLMD for a referal to a biological or holistic dentist.
