How long will my tooth hurt after a tooth exposure? It's been 4 days and the pain is still very bad.?

Question

The pain stopped a little on the 3rd day, but now the pain is extreme. Could it just be that I irritated the stitches or could I have done something really bad to the stitches like riped them open?

Answer 1

Yes, it could be related to the irritation of the stitches but because of how bad this pain is I would recommend getting in touch with your dentist to have them evaluate the situation further. Another possibility for this pain is that an infection could be going on but the dentist will try to help you figure out what could be causing this.
