Most extractions become less painful each day, so increasing pain isn’t something you should ignore.
Sometimes worsening pain is caused by a dry socket. Other times it may simply be part of your body’s healing process or, less commonly, a sign of infection.
If your discomfort is becoming more severe instead of improving, contact our office so we can evaluate the area.
Our goal is to identify the cause of your pain and help you heal as comfortably as possible.
