I have had a tooth taken out yesterday as I was suffering with excruciating pain from it but?

Question

i am still in the same pain now without the tooth, is this normal. Also the clot where the site is has turned yellow, is this normal, I am worried because I have had teeth out before and never suffered with pain afterwards. Pls help by answering me x

Answer

Yes to both of your questions, the pain is normal, the nerve root is dying and soon you will feel a lot better. As for the colour of the clot, you should stop looking at it, if you keep prodding it with your tongue etc you will just make it take longer to heal. Try and ignore it, keep taking the pain meds and wait, time is always the best healer.

Answer

I am going through the same pain right now and yes it's very normal. It's your teeth shifting around after your tooth being removed, just stop being at it and you'll be fine, as long as you take your med and relax it'll be fine. if you seem to suffer with the pain for a longer amount of time go back and get that checked out

Answer

I had dry socket that's why I was on my knees in agony, that is the worse pain ever, I hope no-one has to suffer like I did and still try and look after 3 young kiddies, it was horrendous x
