Absolutely: The area was minimally traumatized by the procedure... it is expected to be a little sore for possibly a day. A NSAID OTC med should get you through it.

I fell two days ago and hit my jaw and face badly. I have pain around a molar in my mouth. I am afraid of having damaged the root of molar. Would such pain be unbearable? Currently the side of my face feels numb and sore. My teeth do not seem broken?
