I had the tooth extracted approx. 1 month ago and the oral surgeon put in the bone graft material the same day.
That would worry me. When I had a root canal done, the endontist put some antibiotic ‘down the hole’ and then sealed the top with a temp filling. He then rechecked with x-rays about 2 weeks later to see if the small amount of infection at the tip had cleared before the root canal would be sealed and I would be scheduled to get the crown.
The bacteria that live in your mouth are very nasty. If they get into your bloodstream, they could wreck all sorts of damage, including causing chronic heart failure. The bacteria seem to like to attack the heart muscle.
