Why is the tooth adjacent to a dental bone graft becoming increasingly painful?

September 1, 2014
Asked By:bonegraft in Dayton, OH

Had bone grafting done on right lower jaw Aug. 27. Since then the tooth next to the graft site which covers an area that once held 3 back teeth, has become very painful to the touch and it throbs constantly despite taking Ibuprofen. The graft site is still swollen and a bit tender but not excessively so. However, the tooth adjacent to the graft area is extremely painful.
