Had a tooth pulled last Wed and STILL having pain

Post Reply New Topic

Fear of dentists has caught up with me big time. They want to remove ALL my upper teeth and POSSIBLY save 3 or 4 of my lower ones. Have no molars left now except an upper left and a lower right. Still have most of my middle teeth. Had a week of agony before they extracted my sole remaining lower left molar (and a bicuspid they talked me into since I was numb at the time anyway. This happened on Wednseday and I went back Saturday and I told them I was having pain then, I feared I had a dry socket but the dentist on duty said I was healing normally. Today
I resorted by buying vodka to deal with this. I seriously now believe that Dr. Herbly is a narcissist.
THank you SO much Western Dental and Cal Optima

lol, sorry, had to laugh at the narcissist part! hehe... Hey the pain will subside with time, your jaw bone and nerves have had a bit of a hammering and need time to settle down.. You may experience some phantom pain, i had one tooth pulled some years back and felt constant pain there for a year or two before the pain dissipated... It was like chewing down on a decayed tooth despite nothing being there... I doubt this is your case sounds like the body needs a little time to recover... and your not alone, the dentist is my number one pet hate!
