Question

yer i was just wondering why do people have pain after tooth extractions? i got my wisdom tooth extracted and one other molors before i got braces put on and i never got any pain. so why is it that ppl have pain AFTER tooth extractions?

Answer 1

My mouth hurt a LOT when I got teeth extracted! It's a natural reaction for your body-- you've just had something removed that your body didn't want removed, after all. Dentists have to (usually) use a heck of a lot of force to pry your teeth from your mouth. They break the roots away. So of course some people are going to be sore afterwards!

Those who don't probably had some great painkillers, don't I envy you. ;] I had two teeth taken out before my braces... wow, it's not nice.

Answer 2

You sound like superwoman because I just had all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth extracted on Tuesday and I'm still in pain... not horrible pain, but not no pain... mild pain. Your body has to heal and tooth extractions are traumatic especially if the teeth were impacted like mine and not just pulled after they already came in.

Answer 3

Yours was ready to come out, I guess.

Answer 4

cause their teeth are missing....!!!

you are probably numb.....aka no pain...

the pain is non existent if you have good drugs....  

Answer 5

What usually causes pain after getting teeth extracted are Dry Sockets. A blood clot forms in the empty tooth socket, if it is dislodged, bone and nerve-endings are exposed. That is a Dry Socket. One can get a dry socket from sucking on a straw, eating too soon, smoking, rinsing mouth too much. It's supposedly very painful.

Answer 6

in general people have extraction cause "infection " under the tooth and the dentist can"t clean it perfectly so this infection caused the pain

you have the extraction without  infection "orthodontic cause" so you have not a pain
