It took me over one week for it to go down. I eat ice cream. That helped a little. If it is very bad pain, you should call the dentist back. You may have an infection, or it could just be that you have more pain. If it is still just a little swollen and uncomfortable, that is normal. Just chew on the other side of your mouth and try to eat soft, easy to chew foods. Drink lots of water and juice and try to relax as much as possible. Your body needs rest to heal itself.

Do tooth extractions hurt a lot?
When you go to get a tooth pulled there is a reason, maybe it was already hurting. The dentist will put you to sleep for a minute or give you a shot to numb the area, you will feel little to nothing when it gets pulled. And nearly every time, after the tooth is pulled you will feel much, much better.But it will hurt a bit later and if you don't take care of the spot were your tooth got pulled you may get a dry socket I had four pulled out yesterday. The worst bit is afterwards. You cannot feel a thing when they take the teeth out, apart from the dentist tugging it. but that don't hurt at all. The injections arent that bad either (unless it hits a nerve vessel, which mine did) apart from that its fine- ishh :)
How long does it take for a tooth nerve to die?
While in a tooth or after pulled? Inside your tooth in your mouth, the nerve may not die. You may have to get a root canal done to remove the nerve and keep the tooth. If a person does not pull an infected tooth, the infection may strangle the nerve and leave a non-sensitive tooth. You will then have a grey tooth with no life in it. If this happens and your lucky enough without medication so as the infection goes away; you would have experienced a natural root death and will need to keep an eye on the tooth and get x rays done often. Your tooth will still rot and you will not know it because you feel little pain in the tooth. If your talking about the nerve in the pulled tooth's orifice, bottom jaws could be damaged for months or even permanently. You may also feel as though your lip was numb if you have damage. Top back orifices may perforate the nasal cavity and may hurt constantly. Please be more specific for specific answers.

How long does it take the permanent tooth to grow after the baby one is pulled?
It depends on a number of factors. Was the baby tooth loose at the time? If so, the permanent tooth should begin erupting into the mouth within just a few days or weeks. If the baby tooth was not loose, it could take several months, depending on the state of development of the permanent tooth. After taking an x-ray of the area, a dentist could make a fairly accurate prediction of how long the permanent tooth will take to grow in. If the baby tooth was lost prematurely, a space maintainer might need to be placed to prevent future orthodontic or occlusion problems. Check with a dentist.
