A member asked:
I was at my dentist and my tooth number 3 was extracted,it was a big tooth,and i now after 2 days i feel like my gums or jaw hurt but something hurts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is normal: Tooth extraction is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. Pain, swelling, bad breath and infection 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. Good luck.

Brown spot on my tooth appeared suddenly at gum line. Dentist said it's an exposed nerve and asked if it hurt. I said no, then he scraped it with a tool and that hurt, so he desensitized it. Now it hurts when I eat sweets. Why? It never hurt before?
