When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Hi, it sounds like you are really suffering. I would advise you to call the surgeon ho did the extraction! You may have an infection. It is normal for the extraction site to have white stuff on it because it is a "scab" (like when you remove a bandaid and it looks that way when the scab is wet). The pain could mean you have a dry socket, this occurs when the clot is dislodged and the bone is exposed. It is very very painful and generally occurs about 48 hours after the extraction. There is a special medicine they apply to the socket that will give you instant relief. Don''''t live with that much pain, it is your bodies way of saying you need help!
