Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,


Extraction of tooth often ends with complications like pain and swelling post extraction .

usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection .

After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must to prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.

i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist , which helps in subsiding the swelling and relives post extraction pain.

follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse.


i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hello there,

Thanks for your query.

Pain up to an extent after a tooth extraction for 7-10 days is normal.

If pain is sever and persist even after 10 day,is not normal,you need to consult your dentist for the same.

Antibiotic and analgesic course after extraction prescribed to prevent infection and relieve pain.

But in your case as you said there is no infection at the extraction site or adjacent teeth,sensitivity may be because of opposite tooth touch to the extraction site.

So i would suugest you to consult your dentist again and take a symptomatic treatment.

Hope this will be helpful.
Take care.

HI,

Thanks for asking the query,

Extraction of tooth is often associated with post extraction complications like pain, swelling nad prolonged numbness.

Complete extraction wound healing takes place in 10-15 days, but pain go off in 3-5 days.
I would suggest you to take a complete course of antibiotics and analgesics consulting your Dentist which will help to subside pain and swelling.
Take multivitamin tablets.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards...
