More info needed...: We would need to have more info to make a proper diagnosis, including an examination with radiographs. Why was the tooth extracted? Do you have periodontal disease? Has your bite changed? Maybe the teeth were moving before the ext. See your local dentist for further investigation.

Tooth pain: See a dentist to find out why you are feeling this. It may not be related to your recent extraction. It takes a personal exam to find out exactly what is going on and the best treatment for you.

New problem: Your side molar extraction has nothing to do with your new condition. The most common type of dental pain is a tooth pains, and the second most common is a gums pains or combination of both tooth-gum pains. In order to get appropriate treatment it is important to know the underlying cause for this pain. Rec.: see your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment. Visit your dentist regularly.

Changed bite: Sounds like the bite has changed and you are now hitting the front teeth harder now that the molar has been removed. If you have other molars remaining it may be possible to have a dentist adjust your bite so it hits more in the back and less in the front.
