i had my wisdom tooth extracted ( bottom right ) 3 days ago , i have pain still nothing really unbearable , but my jaw & ear aches the worst , i feel a throbbing sensation too , i was worried about a dry socket but from everything i have read it appears a dry socket is the worse kind of toothache pain , worse than when the tooth was still in , and thats not me , i did sorry and embarrassed to say i smoked a cigarette straight after i got out of the surgery ( i know i know my bad ) i also have the most worst taste in my mouth ever its horrible.
the hole where the tooth was extracted seems to be getting smaller and smaller by the day , but i do have a throb where the tooth use to be.
Is this normal after a wisdom tooth extraction to have these kinds of symtoms ?
i'm 33 years old and didnt even know i had 1 wisdom tooth left i thought i had them all pulled out when i was 16.
my gums are not swollen , not even really tender i know my dentists did say i may get referred pain thx
