Tooth pulled..one next to it in terrible pain...HELP!?!
Question: Tooth pulled....one next to it in terrible pain......HELP!.?
I had a molar extracted last Friday and now the tooth next to it is very painful....has like a heartbeat pain in it and is swollen some underneath and red.. I did have a piece of gum that was open revealing a bit of this tooths roots but the oral surgeon said it would close and it did withint a few days of the extraction.. I have been hurting for 8 days and it wont stop.. I am taking amoxicillin, pain meds, and am hurting badly.. Should I go back to the dentist on Monday and get them to look at this tooth.? I am wondering if a piece of food or something got stuck in that opening opening and healed in there..

Yes, go back to the dentist ASAP.. It could be food or infection.. I had the same problem.. I had a molar pulled and next thing I know the tooth in back of it is hurting bad.. It turned out the tooth behind the one I had pulled was cracked all the way through and was rotting inside.. They pulled it too.. They were the bottom #30 and #31 molar's.. It sounds like something could be stuck under the gum and it's infected.. Tooth pain is the worst- almost as bad as labor pains!Health Question & Answer
