When your tooth extraction is healing the pain will go away and the gums will begin to heal and close around the removal site.

Other signs that your tooth extraction is healing are 7-10 days after your tooth extraction procedure, the opening left by your extracted tooth should be closed (or almost closed), and your gums should no longer be tender or swollen.

The most common sign of a tooth extraction becoming infected is the pain gets worse and not better.

Other signs of a infection after a tooth infection include bad breath, a sour or bitter taste, fever, sensitivity to hot and cold, and swelling or tenderness in the gums, neck, or jaw.

After a tooth extraction the best pain relief is to use some red cross toothache medication.

The red cross toothache medication is applied where the extracted tooth was which will help relieve the pain instantly.

You soak the cotton ball in some of the red cross toothache medicine and then put the medicine soaked cotton ball in gums where the tooth was extracted.

Leave the cotton ball in your gums to help relieve the pain.

You can also gargle with some salt water or use a tea bag.

Clove oil also works to relieve pain from a tooth extraction.

You might also want to take some aspirin or other pain medication too.

But the red cross toothache medicine works well for toothaches and other dental pain from tooth extractions or tooth infections.

It tastes a bit nasty and may burn your lips a little if you get it on your lips but the burning does not last long and it works great so it's worth it.
