Suggest Medicine To Reduce Tooth Ache
9 days ago I had 4 lower teeth pulled # 27,28,29 &30. I've had a lot of pain in my chin bone to my ear on right side. Went back to Dentist yesterday to have stitches removed and told him about the pain and he said it was normal. I have only 5 teeth left to be pulled. He is telling me the only way my mouth will feel better is to let him pull the other 5 now. I can barely handle the pain now. I'm currently taking ibuprofen 800 mg 3 times a day. Although it doesn't take all the pain away.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This kind of pain before the removal of tooth, is definite because infection. But the pain is not so severe after removal of tooth.
It can be possible that other teeth which are present may also be infected.
Better once you ask the dentist to go for x- ray, as it will show the area of infection.
Hope it will help you.
