3 weeks ago i had a routine filling at dentist which then got infected . went back to dentist as had alot of pain in my face and lots of headaches . He told tooth has an infection around it so need to take it out , he gave me antibiotics then a week later tooth was extracted . However i still have headaches and alot of tension on one side of my head. I feel cannot concentrate and cannot get rid of this dullness on my head . please help . thankyou
Pain after tooth extraction can be because of any left over particle or due to traumatic extraction .
I would suggest you to get clinical examination of the tooth,
Take x-ray of the tooth to give the periapical condition of the tooth.
Headache can be due to use of antibiotics and analgesic prescribed to you . A complete extraction wound healing takes place in 3 months but the pain go off completely in 3-5 days . Take complete rest
The pain developed after tooth extraction may be due to dry socket formed.
I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical examination.
Frequent warm saline as well as betadine rinse may be helpful.
Complete rest is adviced.
An x-ray will help to rule out the infection spread into surrounding structures.
If abscess remains at the periapical area,it has to be drained and curetted.
Antibiotics and analgesics will help to relieve pain.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
