Is it normal for tooth next to removed tooth to hurt and be wobbly when touched after tooth extraction?

I Have just 4 perfectly fine teeth removed too make room as prep for braces. One of them was digged out because get broken during extraction. I have some stitches. I notice that tooth next to it hurts and rocks when touched. Probably it was some pressure applied on it when removing nr 4 on lower left. Is this tooth nr 3 going to be OK in place.What should I do?

I had the exact problem.





When a tooth is extracted is causes inflamation in the surrounding nerves and often causes refered pain to nearby teeth. I have had severe refered pain; not fun :(





BUT it is NOT normal for the tooth to be moving or "rocking".


Please call your dentist asap and I'm sure they will sort it out for you.
Reply:Yes, the pressure from the removal causes swelling in the ligament. It will tighten up and get more comfortable. (but then the braces will go on and make them wobbly and tender all over again!)
Reply:THIS TOOTH WILL GET FIRMER WITH TIME, THERE'S


NOTHING YOU CAN DO FOR THIS.
