Hello, about 9 days ago I went in to have my lower right molars (number 30 I believe) extracted due to pain. Since then the pain has been worse than before I went in to get it pulled. I have been back several times and they tell me it's not dry socket and I have to let the pain pass and perscribed me Tylenol 3.
I guess I am after some sort of idea as to why the pain would last so long, with no end in sight. The only real relief I get is when I draw cold air through the socket, there are no other teeth in that region, they've all been pulled in the past. The pain is definitely sensitive to temperature, even a cold or warm breeze on my cheeck makes a difference. Any advice you can provide would be great.
Thanks
