I had both bottom wisdom teeth extracted 9 days ago and have been experiencing a lot of pain in all of my bottom teeth but especially the four front center teeth for the last five days. When I had my follow-up appointment with the oral surgeon on day 7 (he has been in practice for 40 years and came highly recommended, by the way) he said there was really no reason why I should be experiencing this pain. I asked him if it was possible that my teeth had shifted forward and were crowding my front teeth. He said, "no." His suggestion was to continue taking Advil as necessary for the pain and give it another week. Has anyone else experienced such pain in their front teeth after having wisdom teeth extracted? If it's not caused by the rest of the teeth shifting forward then what could it possibly be? And, how long will it last? It's quite painful.
