Do I need antibiotics for dry socket?
There is no definite answer to that question quite frankly, it's more or less schools of thought. I would say yes, if you are not already on a dose of antibiotics before the dental/oral surgery, then I would for sure give you an Rx for one. Dry docket is not life-threatening, nor has any subsequent effect provided that the surrounding tissues are healthy and within normal limits. It's very painful though. There is a protocol that your dentist will follow for 3 days. It usually includes 3 days of dressing change and irrigation of the site. Then you heal nicely as if nothing happens! READ MORE
Is it normal for gums to bleed after a filling?
Yes and no. So, if the filling was at the gum line or a bit below that, it's normal for a very light bleeding upon flossing or brushing. It should get better with time. If not, have examined again. Maybe it needs to be fine-tuned? READ MORE
