I had a tooth out about 3wks now??

Question

Hey folks, I had a tooth out about 3 wks tomorrow(Tuesday) and I am still in pain with it, I have already been back to the dentist once and she put a gel pack in the hole for me, she gave me some painkillers but still no different am I best going back to the dentist again?

Last time she said it was a dry socket, will it be the same again?

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

I had 6 teeth taken out trust me they hurt for ages, just stick to eating soft foods, or soup for now. In a few days maybe go on to eating harder foods, if the pain still persists i would go back to your dentist and get them to do an x-ray to see if there is a problem.

I rested for ages and slept with a hot water bottle near my mouth/cheek it seemed to work, im not sure if it will help relieve the pain. Hope it gets better  

Answer 2

they hurt for ages . if in doubt keep going back
