OF THROBBING PAIN
After Tooth Extract ion
3 CAUSES
Tooth extractions aren’t known for being
particularly comfortable, unfortunately.
Dentists do their best to prevent pain
during the procedure by using anesthesia.
The discomfort you feel after the
medicine wears off is still better than
the pain of an infected tooth.
If throbbing pain occurs after your
extraction, then it could be from one
of these 3 common causes.
Check for Signs
of Normal
Healing Pain
Your body has special pain
receptors that respond when
they detect damage or trauma.
A tooth extraction involves
irritating your gums
and the underlying bone.
Although your dentist is careful
to avoid causing unnecessary
trauma, your body recognizes
this as an injury.
Normal healing pain typically
becomes noticeable after the
oral anesthetic wears off.
It tends to worsen over the next
several hours.
After peaking sometime within
the first 24 hours, you’ll notice
it gradually improving.
Most people feel mostly pain-free
by the third or fourth day.
Some swelling and soreness
can continue throughout
the first week.
Throbbing pain during the first
24 hours after your extraction
is likely just a sign that your
body is healing.
The pain should respond well
to any over-the-counter
or prescription medications
you take.
It may also decrease
with basic self-care.
Applying a cold pack to the
outside of your cheek can help
soothe the inflammation
that causes pain.
Watch Out
for Dry Socket
Removing a tooth leaves
a small hole in your gums.
A blood clot fills this hole
and protects the underlying
bone and nerves.
Sometimes, a clot fails
to form properly.
One can also be lost before
the tissue has a chance to fill
in the hole.
Dry socket responds well
to cleaning out the area
so that no food debris remains.
We can also pack it with
medicated gauze to encourage
healing and protect the
underlying bone and nerve.
Some people develop dry socket
without any obvious reason why.
You can do your best to prevent
it by avoiding things that could
dislodge the clot, such as smoking,
or drinking from a straw.
Treat
Painful
Infections
Bacteria can sometimes invade
the extraction site.
You are more likely to develop
an infection if you have gum disease.
Throbbing pain isn’t the only
symptom that you’ll likely notice
with an infection.
Swelling might increase during the
time when it should be going down.
You could also have a fever
or see pus coming from the area.
Infections may be treated with
topical or oral antibiotics.
Usually, you’ll notice relief
within a day or two after
starting treatment.
Following our aftercare
recommendations is the best way
to avoid throbbing pain.
If you experience pain that
doesn’t respond to medicine,
then give us a call.
We can treat dry socket
and infections so that you can get
back on track with your healing.

dental care clinic.
