What Causes Pain In The Mouth Post A Tooth Extraction?
I had the #21 tooth removed on Monday (1/24) and today 1/26 i am in a great deal of pain. When you look down in the hole there seems to be something black down there. I have this bad taste in my mouth and also there is a smell coming from the extraction area. I have tried ibuprofen, ice pack, and salt water to try to help, but the pain is still there.

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query this pain in extraction socket and smell from mouth can be due to dry socket I will suggest you to consult your dentist and go for oral examination of socket and if there is formation of dry socket then treatment is to be done like irrigation of socket with betadine and ZOE pack .
Hope this will help you.
