Notes on Tooth extraction

Hello,
I’d like to ask you the pain you’re feeling? Is it dull, intermittent? Are you taking any other medications for a medical condition? Do you have diabetes? Or any condition that may have been causing the pain... I’d like to suggest to you to wait one more week to be totally healed from the extraction but of course if this alarms you - you go seek for dental consultation.
It could also be ‘dry socket’... could be from a traumatic dental exteaction or smoking etc.
Hope to hear from you, for any update. 😊

Stella, I recommend you call the dentist back that did the extractions.. I been in Dentistry for 30 yrs and you shouldn't have pain for that long. It is possible that you may have what is called a dry socket.. definitely call them. Coe
