Re: Worried after having teeth extracted, still in pain
Hi Jotia
Yup you name it and I've had it done. (Dentist wise). lol
Sounds pretty normal to me but if you're worried then maybe give your dentist a little ring.
A little trick I was told once for tonsillitis but it also works for tooth extraction. If you're taking paracetamol etc then take them as normal but in between the four to six hours, Crush one in to a powder and just swish it about your mouth and spit out. Don't rinse. What this does, is the pain killer sits in the wound and gives you than extra pain relief without actually taking them. (This was my gp's advice) and it really did work.
I've also had dry socket, you really would know about it if that's what you had I think what you are feeling is normal and should begin to ease over the next few days. x
