Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had my lower right wisdom tooth, and the molar next to it removed two weeks ago. Unfortunately, the tooth next to it got chipped during extraction, so I went for the clinical examination today. I have had pain in my lower left teeth and jaw for the past few days, and I thought things would be different after today. But I cannot even sleep because the pain is so bad. What is wrong? They took an X-ray of the chipped tooth, and I assumed they saw the extraction site, too, but they did not say anything. I am tired of the pain.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you have got your right side teeth extracted, then there is less chance that the problem on the left side is due to the extraction. You should get an X-ray of the painful teeth on the left side done. It will be better to get a panoramic X-ray done as it will cover all your teeth and jaw joints so that exact causes can be ruled out. I suggest you take painkillers like Ibuprofen. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medicines with their consent.
