I recently had a molar extracted and now, the premolar next to it is giving me trouble. Is this usual?

I don't know what a premolar is. I had a toothache before and I went to the dentist. The x-ray showed that the tooth next to the one with the toothache was the one that needed to be pulled, which it was. Because of an infection in the tooth that originally had the tooth pain, I had to return to the dentist and have that tooth pulled as well. Sometimes, the pain in one tooth can indicate a problem with another tooth too.

you have an abcess probably of some type. it could be a periodontal abcess which is basically an abcess in the gums along the tooth you should see your dentist pronto

It is quite possible that the tooth has some kind of infection and it is affecting this gland.\nWhen a tooth or gland is infected or swollen it causes pain to radiate along the nerve that supplies that tooth or gland\nBefore you have a tooth removed,if it is infected you need a course of antibiotics or pulling an untreated tooth can spread infection to proportions that would amaze you.\nIf it is a swollen gland that is affecting the tooth,antibiotics will treat this as well.\nTry some warm salt water mouth rinses 3-4 times a day and try some hot packs on that side of your face. May not work but it certainly won't hurt.

if you don't think you are healing , then go back to the dentist immediately!! You should not put your tounge any where near the  places you had the teeth pulled from, i know this is hard to do because your tounge automatically will want to go there, it soothes the pain when you do this, about the blackness, i am not sure what that is but i would call the dentist first thing monday morning and inquire about what you see and feel, good luck-get better soon

It will go away take the strongest pain killer you can find and get some sleep try to stay off the side in pain. Your teeth are very sensitive right now, so put the front to use, and stay away from too hot or too cold foods. I've been through it, hope you feel better

I don't know about what after effects you are talking about, but when I had mine removed (one at a time because I am such a chicken), the bottom ones seem to give me the most trouble and the holes where the teeth were seemed really deep, and really they still do seem deep.  I have to be sure and brush back there and floss real good back there.  If you are talking about pain after you have them removed, I say managable pain for about a week, unless you get a dry socket, then oh my God you should get to the dentist right away because they can help with some sort of medicine they put on there.  Good luck.

Sounds to me like they are partially impacted and if this is the case, they are never going to fully erupt.  Get to an oral surgeon so he or she can extract them for you.  Keeping them could cause problems with your other teeth as they are pushing against them and this could cause crowding or even decay on the tooth it is pushing against as you aren't able to clean this area very well.

can be.  Sounds like a drop in blood pressure brought on either by the extraction itself, it is more traumatic than people realise and the body does go into a mild form of shock.  And/or you might have been given a sedative with the injection to make the extraction less physically/psychologically traumatic, which would also cause a drop in bp and your responses.\n\nIf you still feel the same in the morning, phone the dentist and ask him, if not, a visit to the docs to be on safe side, and good luck.

I had a similar problem with persistent sensitivity after a general dentist performed a root canal, so I went to an endodontist for a second opinion.  The endodontist was able to correct the problem, and I learned that the general dentist **had not cleaned out all of one of my tooth's tubules** during the original root canal.  Sometimes when the tubules curve around sharply it makes it harder for the dentist to get all the tissue, and you can end up with an incomplete result that causes sensitivity or pain.   So please do follow-up with an endodontist, they are the root-canal experts!

Go to the dentist before it becomes abscessed maybe....and use spell check next time...there is a "C" in Abscessed.

I had mine removed and it was a piece of cake. They knock you out so you don't feel a thing.  If you aren't having any problems then I wouldn't worry about them.  If your dentist recommends getting them out, then I would inquire more at that time.  No need to worry now.

I went to a dentist with minor face swelling from an abscessed third molar emerging incompletely.  He pulled it then and there after some numbing and using some awful terror tactics.  I do believe he thinks he's House from the TV show.  Severe swelling in your face can restrict your neck, thus slowing blood flow to your brain or your esophagus, limiting your airway.  Both of which could be fatal if left untreated, I recommend lots of ice packs, not moving around much and NOT waiting for the pain meds to wear off before taking a new round.  Your tooth did get pulled didn't it?  I wonder why they didn't take it immediately?

I had the exact same problem! My incisors were elongated (or at least appeared elongated) and pushed out from my normal line of teeth by overcrowding. I was able to make them hang over my lips like vampire fangs. it looked kinds cool, but they were a real pain. Eating was sort of uncomfortable, and I had trouble brushing them what with all the other teeth crowded in around them.\n\nGetting rid of this problem has taken 3 years and a whole lot of mulah. I needed the extraction of my 4 pre-molars to free up space in my mouth, braces for a year and a half, and retention ever since. To this day I wear a permanent lower retainer and have to wear an upper at night.

Not after a month has passed.  Go back to the dentist before it leads to further problems.

your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

It sounds like the gum tissue is swollen.  This is called Periocoronitis.  As the second molars finish erupting usually around 11 or 12 the gum that covers them needs to pull back and settle in behind the 2nd molar.  As it pulls back over time it changes shape and forms a flap, sometimes a pocket where foot gets stuck.  Peri-coronitis occurs in episodes as the odd bit of food gets stuck and rots in the pocket between the gum and the tooth.  Sometimes the more swollen it gets the more frequently you bite yourself and hence it drags on for some time.  \n\nThe best thing to do is to rinse it and clean it.  This is most comfortable under local anesthetic.  Usually most people learn that you need to get in there and keep the tissue clean at home.   The early you get in there in the process the faster it will resolve.  \n\nI don't recall ever seeing a 12 year old with wisdom teeth, but have seen some 14y.o. with em.

The tooth is basically encased in bone. They usually cut away the "roof" of bone and a little bit around the tooth to get it out. The hole that is left over usually fills back in with bone and shouldn't cause any problems.
