1wk after 16 teeth pulled. still have extreme pain around 1 of remaining teeth, in lower jaw. looks like receeding gum, not like that before surgery.

See your dentist: or an oral surgeon for post-op appointment for evaluation medication and partial adjustment. Good luck.

Review: If you had to have half of all your teeth removed at age 30, you have debilitating dental disease. If gum was swollen (infected), and removing infected tooth material allowed shrinkage, it's just pointing out how serious your problem is. Call the Surgeon to seek pain relief.
