Suggest treatment for painful teeth post tooth removal
Patient: I had a tooth pulled 5 days ago. The pain was lessening up until last night it began to hurt again. It's controled by regular aspirin but is uncomfortable. I had to work the day of extraction and three days after long shifts. Is this pain normal. I can still see something on the hole (was red then a white covering and now is like a grey) Doctor: Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.Actually when a tooth is removed you should continue with the antibiotics and painkillers for 5 days and even follow the instructions given by the doctor. if you have followed all the instructions then pain might get relieved after 5 days.But as in your case , it looks that due to exertion the socket is not healing properly and that is why pain is present, there is a possibility of dry socket. Better to visit your dentist again and get it treated.Hope it will help you.
