Babagucci Posted June 25, 2019 #1 Posted June 25, 2019 So I had to go to a dentist appointment to get my bottom left wisdom tooth pulled. I never ended up getting them pulled when I was younger in age as most people do. I'm 34 now. It all started when a piece of the tooth broke off a couple months back and of course I delayed the inevitable and as a result got infected and had sever pain 2 weeks ago. So I went to the dentist, they took x-rays and instead of pulling it then, gave me antibiotics to take for 3 days and then come back tomorrow pull it. When I went back 3 days later the dentist shot me up with novacaine except I could still feel the sharp pain as soon as he pushed down on it. He then gave me 4 more shots and still nothing. Apparently when you have an infection under the tooth it can neutralize the novacaine and prevent it from working as it should. So he then gave me stronger antibiotics and rescheduled for 7 days and today was the 7th day. This time the novacaine worked and he was able to pull my wisdom tooth. Now that the novacaine has worn off it hurts like a basterd. It's as if the tooth is still there with a sharp throbbing pain. Is this normal? Did anyone else have this kind of pain after getting your wisdom tooth pulled?
