Answers:
Its normal to feel generalised pain in the jaw after an extraction!. This can be due to all sorts of things!.!.!.especially pressure on the jaw from the actual procedure!. Don't worry, you can safely take two 500mg paracetamol and one 400mg ibuprofen together for pain, three times a day!. You are right not to disturb the clot!. Don't use a straw, or 'suck' your mouth together to spit out when using mouthwashes!. If you get a 'cobwebby' or white film over the extraction hole, go back to the dentist!. Otherwise, just go with it, you will be pain free in a week!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
