Question 1

how long after a tooth extraction do your teeth start to shift?

Accepted Answer

The same day.: Your teeth begin to shift as soon as there is a change in the bite.  You may not see it right away, but the process begins immediately.

Question 2

why does my lower teeth hurt after having a tooth extraction on the top?

Accepted Answer

Referred Pain: Sometimes pain is referred from upper to lower or vice versa. The nerves of the jaw and face have a common origin, the tri-geminal nerve and sometimes "loops" occur. 
Another thought is the muscle strain or doctor's grip on your jaw when taking the tooth out.

Question 3

tooth extraction, how long before teeth shift back?

Accepted Answer

It varies widely!: Sometimes we see shifting in a matter of weeks or months, while other times it takes years. Every circumstance is different and we can't always predict what will happen nor when. Generally speaking, the sooner teeth are replaced the better. Your own dentist can probably give you a more accurate guess.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

See an Orthodontist: Removing a tooth from the arch is like removing a stave from a barrel.  Expect the others to tip/drift/collapse.  If you have gum/bone disease, collapse will be accentuated.  See an Orthodontist to assemble a team that includes a Restorative Dentist and a Periodontist to help restore your mouth to optimum health.

See your dentist: Dry socket after tooth extraction is one of the most dreaded tooth extraction complications. The severe pain typically starts about 3-4 days after the tooth was extracted. See your dentist for dry socket diagnosis and treatment. Get well soon!

Question 8

how soon after a tooth extraction can i have something put in to replace it? i need to have a tooth pulled, but want to go as short a time as possible with a gap in my teeth. how long will the spot where my tooth was have to heal before i can get somethin

Accepted Answer

Sometimes : Sometimes an extracted tooth can be replaced immediately after an extraction.  More often than not, it is better to wait until the bone has filled in either partially or completely before placing an implant.  There are a lot of factors to consider for example, the amount of remaining bone, whether or not there was an infection present, the type or hardness of the bone, the position of your remaining teeth, whether or not the extracted tooth is a lower or upper tooth and whether or not it is a front or back tooth.  Each case has to be evaluated individually and i would suggest that you discuss this with your dentist in order to make an intelligent decision as to when to replace that missing tooth.

Question 9

my other teeth hurt after wisdom tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Normal: That is not unusual.  It should go away with time and if not, have your dentist take a look and see to make sure there are no problems.

Question 10

why do my other teeth hurt after wisdom tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Referred Pain: Pain from the extraction site may be referred down the nerve trunk that innervates the other teeth. In addition, pressure from the actual extraction may have inflamed the adjacent teeth. Pain meds should help your discomfort, and a call to your surgeon is in order if they don't.
