I had a tooth removed and it is NOT like loosing a tooth at all. It is very painfull because all the nerves that ran to the tooth are severed, which is very painfull.

It could be dry socket's!! I'd call your dentist or who ever removed your tooth and ask what you should do. If it is dry socket, you'll have to go in to get them filled with gauze. Good luck!

This does not sound normal to me, an extraction wound should only be sore for 24- 48 hours if that. You may be bruised if it was hard to take the tooth out but if it sounds like a good idea to go back to your dentist, he should be able to help you but if he does not give you any definite answers thebn go to your A&E department and you should find out an answer one way or another.

Your partner could be right. Or the infection could have moved into the jaw bone/tissue. You may want to contact the dentist and have them do an x-ray just to be safe!

yeah it's normal...happens to me every time. If it doesn't slowly start to feel better then I would talk to a doc but a lot of times to pull teeth they have to open your jaw more than it was ever intended to open. If you have a small mouth it's even worse. After getting my wisdom teeth out my jaw hurt for weeks, however, after the first week it did slowly feel better.

I think you should see a dentist. I had a tooth removed and the pain gradually subsided over 3-7 days. On day 5 I was feeling much better although it was still swollen, it didn't hurt nearly as much as before, so I don't think yours is "normal". You could have developed dry socket. Call your dentist and have it checked out.

Two years ago, due to 80% bone loss in my jaw, I had 21 teeth removed in two sittings, first the 10 back ones, then 2 weeks later the remaining 11 front ones and woke up with the prosthetics already in place. I was awake for all the work although, as a "Dental Phobic" I had slight sedation. I was aware of everything going on, and felt no pain during, or indeed after. In this day and age you do not expect anything other than mild discomfort from dentistry. they should have sent you for an orthodontic x-ray on the tooth to determine the angle of the roots. This would enable the dentist to extract it at the correct angle using least resistance. you dont want to have an infection in your gums if you have any sort of problem with your heart, so go back and get this checked as a matter of urgency. and remember, even if you have thin bone to your jaw as I had, an x-ray would have shown that and if it turns out you do have a fracture to your jaw, and that was due to excessive force used to remove it, and you did not have an x-ray that could very well mean your dentist has been negligent. I do agree that water with a bit of salt as hot as is comfortable to rinse your mouth, is good practice in that it cant make matters worse....see the dentist a.s.a.p

I feel for ya, I would go back to the dentist for advice or a prescription if an infection has set in, or your jaw might just still be bruised.
I had the last of my wisdom teeth out a month ago and it was the only one to cause complications as the gum was also sliced to get it out.
On day 4 or 5 the pain got even worse and I sobbed for 4 hours. I got antibiotics for the infection but the open wound was still bleeding by the end of week 2 and I didn't eat a single thing during this time.
Its now been a few weeks and my jaw is still aching and the hole hasn't closed properly so it might just take a bit more time for ya.
I would go back to the dentist to put your mind at rest if your worrying though.
Good luck with it

You might have something called a dry socket, you can get it from sucking on straws, smoking you should go back to your dentist and he can diagnose the problem. It can take a while to heal especially if it was a wisdom tooth that was pulled.

It sounds like it could be a dry socket. Call your dentist they need to see you to diagnose the problem. If it is a dry socket they can put some medicine in the socket where the tooth use to be. Yes the jaw can be painful too, but it is possable it might be something other then a dry socket. Usually with a dry socket the patient says it started to feel better a day or 2 after the surgery and then like 5-7 days after the surgery it was really painful. Dry sockets can take a long time to get better, you might need to see the dentist several times. They might give you some pain meds to help.....
Dry sockets happen because the extraction site is not healing correctly (clotting process), and bacteria gets into the wound. Smoking, drinking through a straw, lower teeth being extracted are more likely to contribute to the likelyhood of a dry socket.
It will not go away on it's own.
Call Your Dentist ASAP!!!

Its sounds as though you may have dry socket - basically when the clot of blood that helps it heal comes out - go back to your dentist as you must be in agony!

This much pain, 5 days after the extraction, is not normal. the pain should be getting a little less each day, not remaining the same. Contact your dentist ASAP.
In the meantime, ice your jaw, take Advil for the pain and swelling.

This does not sound normal. It sounds as if you either have something called DRY SOCKET which can radiate pain into the jaw area and other parts of you dental arches. Or you can have a fratured jaw line, which is possible also. What I would do is go back to the dentist and they could check for dry socket and if that is not the case, then go to urgent care to check your jaw for fractures.

go back to your dentist. It could be that where the tooth was removed the nerve hasn't been removed and is infected.

Sounds like Dry Socket to me!! OUCH!!!! Not much you can do for it but wait, don't drink Carbonated bevarages or drink with a straw! no smoking!!!!! Try to keep you mouth moist at all times, keep food out of the whole! Some people take longer to heal, and you may need an antibiotic just incase of infection!
