2 days ago I got I think the 2nd biscuspids (upper & lower on right side) pulled for braces. I dont know if they were the 2nd bicuspids, bu they were the teeth right next to my molars. They did the left side 2 weeks ago. When they did the left side it didnt give me much pain afterwards. But the right side is! I dont think it is dry socket because it ahs been hurting ever since I was no longer numb! Should I have my mom call the dentist tomorrow? The pain really is bad and nothing helps (i tried ibuprofen & tylenol). Should I have my mom call the dentist and ask? Or is this normal for one side to be a lot more sore than another?

sometimes. its only been two days you could experience some pain for a while. If you have some whiskey or something try a dab applied to the extraction spot. works as an antiseptic agent as well as pain relief. a doctor told me this is good for baby teething as well. If mom doesnt want to give you whiskey then give it a few days, rinse your mouth often to keep sockets clean. watch you dont eat anything to aggravate them. If pain continues past a week you may want to talk with your dentist. sometimes the pain can be more dependant on how attached the tooth was to that side of you jaw. If you have had a tooth extracted while under novacaine only then you know it sometimes takes a lot of force with a pair of dental pliers (same as a regular only with special angle) to rip out a tooth. That force will strain muscles in your jaw. If you continue to have pain for a long period you want to get it checked.

By all means call the dentist. A temporary pain killer is ground cloves (the spice). Just a little pinch on the gum, do not put it in the hole where the teeth were. Doesn't taste all that great but it will kill the pain.

You can try to use ice on the ear lobe and the webbing between the index finger and thumb. This and a quarter aspirin on the pained area may help you my friend.
My boyfriend relieves me from pain.

Call your Dentist and see if you can mouth wash with Hydrogen Peroxide to kill the pain and help heal the sockets.
It works extremely well and I have used it for years, but call your Dr. first.
