Non tooth pain?: Check back with your dentist or consider seeing a specialist in facial pain if the dentist finds nothing wrong. You can find a specialist at www.Aaop.Org or www.Aacfp.Org.

Call your dentist: Depending on how long it has been since your extraction bone graft, it is possible you have an infection in the extraction graft site that needs attention. Sometimes infections at a different site of your mouth can seed infection in a healing site on the opposite side. Your dentist can help you manage the dry socket on the other side and monitor your complications so keep him informed.

A few things to note: Are there any adjacent teeth that have cavities present? If so, these teeth could be the cause of your pain. Sometimes these procedures can cause discomfort. Consider contacting your dentist to increase the dose or use a different pain medication. See your dentist to check the site for any infection present.
