Still in pain 5 days after Bone Graft, is this usual? (photos)

July 4, 2016
Asked By:lightmycandle99 in Palm Coast, FL

I had the bottom middle 2 teeth extracted 3 years ago and a bridge put in. 4 months ago the bridge broke along with one of the anchor teeth. Dentist then extracted both of the anchor teeth and the plan is to put implants in and hang the bridge from those. The original bone grafts after extractions did not generate enough bone for implants, so had 2 additional more intensive bone grafts done 5 days ago. This pain has been excruciating, how long should I expect this pain?
