Second opinion?: If the tooth was extracted 2 months ago, primary healing should be well underway. If the adjacent teeth now hurt, you may have a secondary problem. Return to your dentist, or consider getting a second opinion. No one should be upset or offended by that, and sometimes fresh eyes are good.

Second opinion: Ask to see another dentist for a second opinion if he hasn't referred you yet. Nothing wrong with a second set of eyes. I'm never offended if a patient asks for a second opinion.

Referral: Ask your dentist to refer you to the tooth pain (root canal) endodontist that he works with. Between the two of them they should be able to nail down the problem and treat it.
