You need to call your dentist. Sorry you are having trouble. A week after I had mine cut out, I was eating steak and corn on the cob in deer camp.

i was in pain for about 2 1/2 weeks and then i was able to eat whatever i wanted but take some GOOD painpills or ask your dentist to up the dose on yours and hope you get to feeling better soon. i dont wish that pain upon anyone

were they the lowers? if so those are the worst. I had 1 of my top ones removed and I felt nothing 2 days later. Im a big baby when i comes to pain.

my wife is in last year of dental school..
Her questions are ...
do you smoke?
Did you drink thru a straw?

If so, you might have a dry socket....

Call your dentist..

Make sure you keep the pits clean. After I had mine out (all 4) I had some tremendous pain because I wasn't properly cleaning food debris out of the holes. Much hope to you that the pain fades quickly.

yup - sounds like a dry socket... I got one of those and it sucked!

I went in and they reopened the 'hole' and stuffed gauze soaked in clove oil in it for a couple of days and then let it re-heal.

the clove oil was kinda cool.. everything tasted like x-mas ham for a week.. lol

bottom two and top right, top left was removed a couple years ago by my dentist. this time oral surgeon had to pull it out.

ice pack 30 mins on 30 off may help with the pain some if you havent already been doing it as the swelling can sometimes make the pain worse, also sometimes warm sea salt water can make it feel better just two things I remember from having my 3 removed a few years ago myself.

What pain killers are you using?

I had all 4 of mine removed at once a few years ago by an oral surgeon.. I bled and bled for a week...pain for several weeks...

Hydrocodone seemed to help a lot... :)

Hope you feel better soon.
