Experiencing Pain After The Extraction Of Molar Teeth

I had my first molar on the bottom right of my mouth extracted on January 28th, 3 days later I went back into the dentist because I had what I thought was a bone fragment that wouldn t come out it felt razor sharp. The dentist pulled on it to make sure it wasn t a fragment that could be removed and decided that it was part of my jaw and so he filed it down to try and make it more smooth and not sharp. It is now February 2nd and the pain is becoming worse every day. The pain killers they gave me have had no effect on it at all. My jaw is starting to feel stiff and I still have quite a bit of swelling. and the bone is still not covered by gum tissue I have had teeth pulled before and this is the worse pain I have ever experienced. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for posting the query,

Swelling is due to the traumatic extraction.
I would suggest you to take tab Brufen BD for 5 days.
Take lukewarm saline rinses to give a soothing effect, take antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Take complete, drink plenty of fluids rich in vitamin C.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Avoid hot and spicy, junky foodstuffs.
