Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of tooth pain despite taking additional Novocaine shots which is entirely safe unless you are an asthmatic patient. Pain is high because while tooth extraction force required is very high.

Need not to panic about anything. Your symptoms will start resolving in 4 to 5 days. Take cold water, ice cream for faster healing. Take soft food for few days.

If your pain keeps on persisting even after 4 to 5 days visit dentist once and get IOPA ( X-RAY) done as it could be possible that dry socket could be the cause of pain.

Don't touch socket with tongue again and again. Take Ibuprofen drug for 3 days at least. Do warm saline gargles on daily basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
