I had 6 teeth pulled about 5 days ago..?

Question

the pain started going away and then around friday, it got worse and worse. Now it is a constant throbbing/sharp pain, more so on my left side. It is making my entire left side of my head hurt and also makes my ears hurt like i have an ear infection. also, my head feels like there is a ton of pressure. i am on painkillers but they don't seem to help for very long. i can't really see into the actual spaces enough to tell what it looks like. im wondering if this is normal after having 6 teeth pulled or if it is something else... any help would be great as the pain is getting worse and worse. thanks :)

Answer 1

You could have Dry Socket, consult your dentist.

Answer 2

i know exactly how you feel, same thing happen to me when i had a bridge done, the muscles in the area that hurts got strained because you had your mouth open for so long.  its hurts for a while you'll just have to deal with it. it feels like an ear infection but its not

Answer 3

I just recently had my #15 tooth pulled and yes it took a while to heal. It was very sore and actually about the third day my gum swelled up as if there was a broken piece of my tooth left but I saw the tooth and it was not broken. Its scar tissue I'm assumming. So if you had 6 pulled in one day your gonna have lots of pain. As your Dentist for stronger pain killers and hope you feel better soon.

Answer 4

you definately have an infection.. you need to go back to the doctor or even your dentist to get some medication to clear it up.. all the symptoms you said ive had before and it was an infection.
