Dry Socket?: See the dentist or surgeon who removed the teeth--you may have a dry socket. Dry sockets are very painful and without treatment can last several weeks or more. Dry sockets cannot be "fixed" immediately because they are a process of bone death, but the pain can be minimized during the bone breakdown and repair phases until healing occurs. Your dentist will help you through the process. Good luck!

See an oral surgeon: Or the dentist. Pain and swelling following dental extraction is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery, after that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. If pain persists or worsens, it may require attention and you should call your dentist or an oral surgeon for follow up appointment.
