Extraction pain?!
Question:
Extraction pain?
I had a tooth taken out 4 days ago and its killing me!!! It was the very back tooth and now my wisdom tooth is coming through, which i guess is causing the pain... it seems to be growing outwards and scratching the inside of my cheek. If i went to the dentist would there be anything he could do for me or do i just have to live with it?
Answers:
The pain you have might be because of a common condition, 'dry socket' which occurs after an extraction - I had this and it is bloody painful!
You should DEFINITELY go back to your dentist - there's no reason for you to be in pain and any decent dentist will help you immediately. Even if your dentist is busy, INSIST on an appointment, or go to another dentist, but whatever you do, do not leave it!
