Hi lybrate-user jain, I would like to see the photographs of your father or else a video consultation could be better. Is your father having the same swelling previously before the extraction of the tooth? Or the swelling occurred after the extraction? Some times traumatic extractions might result in swelling and also due to injections I wanted to see the photographs if possible or else the patient on video call if possible for suggesting the best treatment.

It seems your mother is having multiple carious teeth and the decay has lead the loss of tooth structure. Not necessary that all the damaged teeth have same amount of progress hence the treatment required for them may vary. Pls get an opg done (a panoramic xray) for better opinion.
You can use my code sg38f5 for further discussion and to upload the xray.
