Still in Pain After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

April 9, 2013
Asked By:Shazza2511

I had my lower left wisdom tooth removed in February and have been back almost weekly to see the dentist, initially as the molar was sensitive and (always ignored) my jaw has been hurting. Yesterday the dentist removed a bit of bone and put something in the hole to relieve pain and prevent infection. However, I'm still in pain and what's worse is the other side of my jaw is also hurting. I haven't got full use of jaw and can't bite or chew on the left side. Any thoughts?
