The pain after a tooth extraction can last anywhere from 1 day to up to a week sometimes more depending on what tooth was pulled. some teeth are more deep rooted then others and can take longer to heal. also depends on whether or not there was infection before the tooth was extracted or if you develop a dry socket.
I would suggest going back to see the oral surgeon for a check up if you are still having a lot of pain after the 3rd day or if the pain becomes worse.

∙ 6y agoThe best person to answer your question would be your dentist or oral surgeon - whoever extracted your tooth. It could be possible that there is an infection. A condition called 'dry socket' can occur after having adult teeth extracted. Whatever the problem is, don't wait any longer. Your dentist/oral surgeon should know how to deal with it.

Over the counter pain tablets can help sooth pain, but don't take them on an empty stomach. If you can't eat, I recommend you drink some 7-up with it.

∙ 14y agoYes you should go to your dentist. It's probably a dry socket.
He can take care of it in about 10 minutes. Usually it's a free visit if they are the same one that extracted it.
