Healing properly?
Hey there, so I had my 2nd to last bottom left tooth extracted on Tuesday 5/7 and it is now 5/11. Well my pain has not subsided as far as it being the dull like annoying pain. The extraction hole is black in color, sometimes with a tinge of green. I am thinking my blood clot did not form properly and/or was damaged/removed from me changing the gauze, as the dentist told me to do. Can anyone give me some advice?
Editor’s note: Anytime after couple days do not see the “extraction hole” or socket not healing and still have pain, can go back and have a post-operative visit to your dental office. Dry socket is when the socket does not heal or fill up and have continuous pain. Some people end up with a dry socket when they have their tooth or teeth extracted.

My teeth feels tight and my lower teeth feels like its rising
I first started feeling one week ago like there is Something stuck in my lower back teeth and I tried removing but nothing was there then gradually it got worse. I felt my lower teeth were rising and it felt tighter in one side of the mouth and I felt uncomfortable in my jaw and back neck. Then later each time I closed my mouth one of my lower front teeth was touching the upper tooth first before others and it became very uncomfortable but it wasn’t paining and I went to the dentist a few days ago. The front tooth was reduced with the drilling machine but now it has extended to my two sides including some in the upper teeth and it’s becoming tighter and I feel uncomfortable. It also reduces if I don’t clench my teeth but when I eat or brush it comes back up. I feel my neck is slightly swelling now. Please I need help I don’t know what is wrong.
Editor’s note: In this local dental pain problem chatting online post – the person has posted with a picture of their teeth. Couple of notes- there are no dental x-rays. Anytime having pain and not sure what is going on, having dental x-rays taken by your local dentist in the area where the tooth pain is > can help a lot in figuring out what is going. When the teeth are “high,” sometimes your dentist can adjust your teeth or slightly file them down if the bite needs adjusting. This is sometimes the case with dental crowns or dentures, that need to have the bite adjusted. Anytime there is swelling towards the bottom of the mouth or towards the neck area, need to see a dentist or doctor – as may be having some sort of an abscess or infection.
Best Dental Story is my uncle
– Best Dental Story is my uncle’s teeth falling out:
The best dental story is when my uncle, who had dentures, took out his denture in front of some younger kids at our family party.
They just started freaking out and screaming. Everybody at the party started laughing. The best was this boy who after a while kept going to him and saying do it again & asking his mom if they could show him how to do it on himself. We had a good laugh because of this for many days after this event.
We still laugh & discuss this story to this day.

Was at a party and my crown popped out when chewing on a carrot
- Was at a party and my crown popped out when chewing on a carrot:
I was at a party and my crown popped out when chewing on a carrot. While chewing, I noticed something had come off my tooth. At first I thought it was part of my tooth.
Then, once I spit it out into my hand and noticed it was my crown that I had since I was in college. I did not want to make a scene, just put it into a napkin and into my purse. I was able to get a appointment in couple days. Unfortunately my dentist told me that he would have to place a new crown in and my old crown had come out with part of my tooth.
Since then, I am careful to chew very carefully on that side and not to chew anything that might damage it.
