A member asked:
I have a white hole that has been hurting for 4 days now where the dentist gave me a shot of novocaine to fill my front tooth....should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact DDS: The bone is thinner in the anterior region of the mouth so some residual discomfort may be present for a couple of days. If you feel that something is abnormal see your dentist for a clinical evaluation.
