Hi, I recently had a tooth extracted.  Number 19 to be exact.  My gum is still a bit swollen on both sides.  Sometimes my top teeth aches on the same side the tooth was pulled.  Pain shoots up to my ear and down through my neck.  How long should this last, and is this normal?
Hiwelcome to ChatDoctori hope you are dose coverage after extraction. Yes this is normal if you have traumatic or wisdom tooth extraction.don't worry it will subside of its own within a week. For swollen gums and prompt healing, you should do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day. Wish you a good recovery. Thank you
