I had a tooth pulled yesterday, the first one I've had pulled that had an active infection in it. Took over an hour in the end, as had to keep getting more injections, but still hurt. In the end decided that as he had loosened it, would just go ahead and go for the quick hard pull. It's been very painful since the injectin wore off, and I can't feel much of a hole there, but there is a big lump next to it, (It was the last molar on one side of my jaw) He said that I wouldn't need antibiotics as the infection mainly came out with the tooth, and the rest would just drain from the cavity. He is now away until next week, so if I need help I'm going to have to see someone I don't know. After yeserday, I don't really want to go to a dentist ever again, (border line dental phobic).
How long should I just keep knocking back the pain killers, how soon should it feel better. With previous extractions I've always felt good the next day.
