The gum or tissue around a tooth that has been extracted can still be sore for a few days.. remember you had a tooth removed there so that is considered a surgery whether or not it was a simple or surgical extraction it will be sore.. when the tooth is extracted the dentist has to wiggle the tooth around a little to (sort of what you call detach the gum attached to your tooth)! The gum will get inflamed and the surrounding areas make hurt for a few days but this will eventually go away. Aunt Laura

A tooth that IS infected hurts even more because the tissue is already inflammed and sore. Be sure the dentist puts you on an antibiotic a day or so before extraction, because when pulled, infected tooth can "stir up" the infection and cause it to travel through your blood system, which is not good.

If I have a gum infection under my molar do you think my dentist will pull it out because I'm scared of needles?
Fear of needles is not a rationale for extracting a tooth. On the other hand, if you refuse to consent to having the tooth or gum treated, extraction may be the only acceptable alternative. That raises the question, will you have the tooth without use of local anesthetic? That will probably hurt a lot more than a needle to numb the tooth and gum.
What does having a tooth splinter after extraction mean?
It simply means that the dentist didn't get all the tooth out - leaving a small piece (or splinter) behind. The splinter usually works its way out of the gum in time.
