Call ur dentist: You may have an infection, there may also be another tooth that needs attention, and you certainly need pain medication. It needs to be evaluated.

Specializes in Pain Management

Tooth extraction: is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. Pain and swelling following surgery 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 after 7 days no improvement, see your dentist or an oral surgeon for post-op appointment.
