Call dentist Monday: If it still hurts, call the dentist Monday to let them know. They'll either reassure you and give some advice or ask to see you. It's part of followup to procedures to do this. I might be a dry socket or, hopefully just soreness - but call - describe - follow suggestions. Be glad the pain medicine works while it does. Take care.
