Suggest Remedy For Intense Tooth Pain

I had a tooth surgically removed 5 days ago, now the toot beside it hurts alot!! when i tap on it the pain is so intense i think i may pass out. I never had a problem with this tooth and had exrays recently and my dentist never mentioned anything about that tooth, is it just sensitive from having the one beside it cut out?

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

You mentioned you had a surgical extraction done.There are chances the next tooth can be moved in the process of removing the extracted tooth.

This will settle down in a week. Take the antibiotics and analgesics prescribed by your dentist.
Do not chew on this side for a few days.Gargle saline water twice daily.

See your dentist to grind it out of occlusion.
Consult your dentist if it persists more than a week.

Also make sure you do not have any hidden caries in the tooth.

Regards.
