Anyone ever had complications after tooth extraction like damage & extraction of other teeth?

I had ma upper tooth extracted 3 weeks ago %26amp; now the one next to it is sensative %26amp; hurts when biting on %26amp; taping, dentist say this also might need to be extracted but its no abcess or anything so what kind of damage is it that it has be taken out, anyone?

The dentist can often leverage on that remaining tooth in the removal of another tooth. The will cause swelling of the ligament and pain to pressure . I would give the area a little time before you make another extraction appointment. (6 weeks minimum for the internal swelling to go down) The other thing that happens, is all of the biting pressure that used to be shared by two teeth is now all coming down on one tooth. This can piss off the tooth. Ask your dentist to check and adjust the bite on the remaining tooth to see if that calms down the ligament.


Good luck
Reply:Certainly damage can be done to an adjacent tooth while a tooth is being extracted. As the dentist is trying to loosen the tooth, he/she must try not to put pressure on the adjacent tooth. Also, any fillings on an adjacent tooth can be inadvertently loosened or broken .


You say this tooth is not abscessed or anything. Has there been any bone lost around the tooth? Gum disease and loss of bone support can result in the loss of a perfectly healthy tooth.
