Why do I have toothache after wisdom tooth extraction?

Toothache after wisdom teeth are removed is quite common in life. This is mainly because the removal of wisdom teeth affects the adjacent teeth and may cause damage to the adjacent teeth, which can easily lead to tooth sensitivity. Therefore, when extracting wisdom teeth, you must be aware of some precautions and go to a regular dental clinic in time for treatment.

Why do I have toothache after wisdom tooth extraction?

1. Try to choose a regular dental hospital for tooth extraction. Tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove useless bad teeth. Be sure to do the appropriate care before tooth extraction. 2. If the teeth next to the tooth extraction are sore, check first to see if the adjacent teeth are injured. Wait a few days to see how the condition develops. If there is no improvement, go to a regular dental hospital immediately for follow-up treatment. 3. Another situation in which the adjacent teeth may feel sore after tooth extraction is that there is an extraction socket after tooth extraction, which causes the adjacent tooth roots to be exposed and sensitive to cold and hot stimuli. At this time, you should avoid stimulation from cold, heat, acid, etc. and protect your gums well. 4. Another reason why the teeth adjacent to the extraction feel sore is that the healthy teeth adjacent to the extraction have inflammatory reactions such as periodontitis. At this time, the patient should go to a dental hospital and see a doctor to treat inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis.

In addition, if the wound is not handled carefully after tooth extraction, the remaining sharp bone edges or excessively high root spacing may irritate the surrounding mucosa and cause pain. The most common cause of pain after tooth extraction is dry socket, which is an infection of the wound. Usually 3 to 4 days after tooth extraction, persistent pain will appear in the wound and radiate to the ear and temporal area. Improper treatment of the equipment may also lead to infection of the tooth extraction wound, which may cause tooth pain after extraction.
