There are several ways to tell if a tooth extraction is healing normally. After a couple of days, bleeding will stop, swelling will go down, and the pain will go away. If any of these things persist after three or four days, it is important to go to the dentist immediately.

What is inflammation of the socket from a tooth extraction?

inflammation after an extraction can be due to the trauma caused to the tissues surrounding the tooth, when the tooth was being pulled.however, infection also causes an inflammatory response in an attempt to increase the concerntration of white blood cells to an infected area, thus fighting the infection to reduce tissue damage. inflammation of the tooth socket after extraction will result in some degree of discomfort (mild pain) up to severe pain depending on the cause of the inflammation described above. inflammation resulting from socket infection can be accomponied by visable puss formation in the socket and redness, pain and swelling of the gum around the socket. how do you know it's puss? you won't, go to a dentist who will tell you for sure and treat it accordingly.


Is it normal to have new swelling one month after a tooth extraction?

Try calling up your dentist. He or she may want to hear about it and see what they can do for you. If you need to do something to help it, he or she will be able to tell you. No it is not normal to have swelling a month after the extraction. It might be food that got stuck in the hole and that is causing a minor infection. It might also be another tooth beside the extracted one that is causing the swelling. Only a dentist can make te right diagnosis by checking it.

How long does it take for pain to go away after tooth extraction when tooth breaks several times?

THERE are instances in which it may not have been possible to remove the tooth as one single unit. In such cases the tooth would have to be removed in separate pieces and may be it would have been done in separate sittings. PAIN AND SWELLING in such cases are the norm rather than exception. IT may take a week or even more for complete normalcy to return. But that should not hinder you from normal activities.
