Over two weeks ago I had a back tooth pulled. The dentist isn't that great, but he is the only one I can afford. Almost three weeks later, I'm still eating Ibprofen (great for my GERD) because my jaw hurts so much. I've gone back twice and he never takes an x-ray. He just packs it with something that doesn't do any good. Tomorrow my regular doctor is going to take an x-ray, but has anyone ever had a tooth pulled and had the spot it was pulled from still hurt two weeks later? And it hasn't gotten any better. All he says is that there is no infection that he can see, that the spot is healing (yuk, yuk) and that the bone is very sore (big DUH!). I never heard of this happening to anybody before so I thought I'd throw it out to you. by the way, this spot never hurt at all before he pulled the tooth..lol. I should have kept it
