Answers:

What do you mean by "really hurts?" Is it a constant, intense ache?

If it is, you might have developed a "dry socket," which occurs when the blood clot in the empty tooth socket fell out and bare bone becomes exposed to the oral cavity.

Go back to your dentist as soon as possible if it is hurting that much-- Dry socket need to be repeatedly packed with dressing to make it heal.

Hope this helps.
