Really bad and kinda weird pain after tooth extraction. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Dry socket": Is a common source of severe pain that begins about the 3rd day after extraction, happens usually just on the lower jaw. Most post-surgical pain is usually gone 1-2 weeks after most extractions. Persistent pain needs to be checked for infection and other possibilities.
