I was fine all day long and then in the afternoon the pain returned, and actually it never happened before this way, I was bending down to pickup something from the floor when my gums (first the gums only ) started hurting. I had to take motrin. And sometimes the salt water helps the pain, but not today. Do you think I irritated my gums in the beginning when I used more salt in the rinsing water 4-5 times a day for the first couple of weeks after the extraction ?
