I had an extration on 7/25/06 and I am still on pain mainly my gums now I wake to pain what can be the reason

Question:

Like I said it is the gums around the left side of mouth and my stitches come out tommarow

Answers:
Possibly a dry socket ? When a blood clot does not form in the socket, after an extraction, the cause is usually a dry socket. Call the dentist or oral surgeon who performed the extraction and let them know how you're feeling. You'll have to go back to their office so it can be treated.

Other Answers:
All sounds normal. I would expect that if you do "push down" on the extraction site, it would hurt, so don't push on it. It can take up to 6 months for an extraction site to fully heal

Sound like you may have a dry socket or infection. I would recommend seeing your dentist. The longer you wait the worse it will get
