PAIN!

68. the lower ones at the front are more likely to get dry socket

That's where I got both of mine, and I remember the dentist telling me that of all the teeth in your mouth including wisdom teeth those ones in the front on the bottom are the ones that are most prone to dry sockets.

I'm surprised your surgeon didn't put in sutures with that many teeth pulled. When I got the last four in my uppers taken out last summer the surgeon put in sutures to make sure I wouldn't get any dry sockets. Of course, I also told him that if he didn't put in sutures I would chase him around the building and beat him to death. LOL!

I'm really really puzzled that your surgeon and your dentist aren't prescribing something for this level of pain and having you checked out for infection. It really does sound like you might have at least one dry socket going on. I can't understand why the ER didn't at least get you some pain meds either. With my first dry socket I had to go the the ER since it was in the middle of the night that I just couldn't stand it anymore, and I didn't even think to call the dentist since I was certain with that much pain I had to be leaking brains or something, and they at least got me some narcotics and told me to call the dentist ASAP.

As others said, call the surgeon's office or the dentist's office right away. You're having an emergency with this much pain, and the very least they can do is call in some pain meds for you.

When I got my four ones pulled last summer I just had some minor soreness and that's it. You shouldn't be having this much pain from having these teeth pulled regardless of how many were taken out, so something is definitely wrong, and it's their JOB to deal with it right away even if all they can do is get you some serious pain meds.

I still can't figure why they didn't put in sutures though especially seeing as they were all the teeth that are most vulnerable to dry sockets, and you had so many pulled.
