I have more pain after wisdom teeth extraction, numbess less noticed, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Return to dentist: Return to your dentist who extracted the wisdom teeth. The most common reason for pain after an extraction is a dry socket. This occurs if the blood clot that forms when the tooth is extracted is lost. Treatment involves packing a gauze soaked in a solution that makes the pain improve significantly. Other reasons for pain exist also.
