Answers:
Sounds like Dry Socket to me!! OUCH!! Not much you can do for it but wait, don't drink Carbonated bevarages or drink with a straw! no smoking!!! Try to keep you mouth moist at all times, keep food out of the whole! Some people take longer to heal, and you may need an antibiotic just incase of infection!
No, go back to your dentist.
i had 4 wisdom teeth out 15 years ago and it still aches now.
i would say go back to the doc, 5 days sounds too long.. good luck :)
I think you should see a dentist. I had a tooth removed and the pain gradually subsided over 3-7 days. On day 5 I was feeling much better although it was still swollen, it didn't hurt nearly as much as before, so I don't think yours is "normal". You could have developed dry socket. Call your dentist and have it checked out.
try taking tylenol for pain,and swelling, and call your dentist!!
i had the same thing mine was from tmg its when ur jaw is out of place get it checked out
you probably have some food in the raw hole that is causing an infection, go back to yuor dentist
owwwww must hurt
it is not! normal and go back to that dentist you saw and file a $100 million dollars lawsuit against him for malpractice!!
I had a tooth removed and it is NOT like loosing a tooth at all. It is very painfull because all the nerves that ran to the tooth are severed, which is very painfull.
Your partner could be right. Or the infection could have moved into the jaw bone/tissue. You may want to contact the dentist and have them do an x-ray just to be safe!
It could be dry socket's!! I'd call your dentist or who ever removed your tooth and ask what you should do. If it is dry socket, you'll have to go in to get them filled with gauze. Good luck!
go call the doctor who took the tooth out and tell him/her what you are experiencing. this doesnt sound good.
Yes it's normal, sometimes during an extraction the tooth is impacted or turned slightly for this the dentist uses what looks like a mini jackhammer to break-up the tooth into pieces for easier removal... That's probably what's hurting your jaw, the muscles were strained.. Just take it easy and swish with salt water until you feel better good luck
Ask your dentist whether you have a 'dry socket'...
Well, this is not normal, you may want to talk the whole situation to your dentist. If he/she can't help, I advise you to see a doctor.
I had a wisdom tooth removed 2 weeks ago and i m still in pain...it was a huge one and the doctor said that it would hurt ! and it does! i dont worry...i take antibiotics and stuff.but.i suggest you call your doctor...just in case! gd luck
yeah it's normal...happens to me every time. If it doesn't slowly start to feel better then I would talk to a doc but a lot of times to pull teeth they have to open your jaw more than it was ever intended to open. If you have a small mouth it's even worse. After getting my wisdom teeth out my jaw hurt for weeks, however, after the first week it did slowly feel better.
You might have something called a dry socket, you can get it from sucking on straws, smoking you should go back to your dentist and he can diagnose the problem. It can take a while to heal especially if it was a wisdom tooth that was pulled.
i had 5 removed at one time the doc told me if the pain last more than 3 days to come back because it means i have a dry socket he said a dry socket is extremly painful
go back to your dentist. It could be that where the tooth was removed the nerve hasn't been removed and is infected.
i think so when ur tooth was pulled out it probably hit a nerve and it will hurt sooo take some advil or aleve it will go away soon
This much pain, 5 days after the extraction, is not normal. the pain should be getting a little less each day, not remaining the same. Contact your dentist ASAP.
In the meantime, ice your jaw, take advil for the pain and swelling.
You need to return to the dentist. Don't make an appointment just go and get him to sort it.
Its sounds as though you may have dry socket - basically when the clot of blood that helps it heal comes out - go back to your dentist as you must be in agony!
I feel for ya, I would go back to the dentist for advice or a prescription if an infection has set in, or your jaw might just still be bruised.
I had the last of my wisdom teeth out a month ago and it was the only one to cause complications as the gum was also sliced to get it out.
On day 4 or 5 the pain got even worse and I sobbed for 4 hours. I got antibiotics for the infection but the open wound was still bleeding by the end of week 2 and I didn't eat a single thing during this time.
Its now been a few weeks and my jaw is still aching and the hole hasn't closed properly so it might just take a bit more time for ya.
I would go back to the dentist to put your mind at rest if your worrying though.
Good luck with it
No go back to the Dentist far too long to have pain there other than that cant help best wishes
This does not sound normal to me, an extraction wound should only be sore for 24- 48 hours if that. You may be bruised if it was hard to take the tooth out but if it sounds like a good idea to go back to your dentist, he should be able to help you but if he does not give you any definite answers thebn go to your A&E department and you should find out an answer one way or another.
This does not sound normal. It sounds as if you either have something called DRY SOCKET which can radiate pain into the jaw area and other parts of you dental arches. Or you can have a fratured jaw line, which is possible also. What I would do is go back to the dentist and they could check for dry socket and if that is not the case, then go to urgent care to check your jaw for fractures.
