    My face became red after pulling my own tooth!
    Ive had a problem with my right tooth fer some time now, well a long time actually.. my dentist said I had to get a root canal about 8 or 9 years ago and I never ended up getting the procedure done because I had had no dental insurance of any kind.So about I don't know, sometime last year I kept messing with it with a toothpick and it broke out.I thought everything was OK afterwards and that I wouldn't have to get that root canal now, but then I realized I still have a piece of the broken tooth imbeded into my gums. Not too long after I had pulled it out,the right cheek on my face started turning red then has progressed over to my left side as well.I tried using cleansers,all sorts of rocaia creams.. anything that I thought could or would to make the redness disappear but still with no luck. Its been a year now and my face is still red and its really emberassing for me.I don't know what to do about it anymore and I don't know but I think it might have something to do with having the problem with that tooth.I don't have any dental insurance still so I don't see any ways of fixing it.Please help, id at least like to know if that is the reason for the redness starting on my face and if there's a way I can go about the process a cheaper way.I can't handle my face looking like this any longer.. any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

    Sincerely.

    Definitely go see a dentist. If the tooth is gone all it will cost is the price of an x-ray and an emergency exam. You may have an infection after all your poking and prodding.

    Your face being red for a year is not related to your teeth its probably rosacea or something... go to the doctor (physician) this may just be natural selection at work!
