nyuszisie,
If the pain at the extraction site increases to a throbbing pain or the pain radiates along the jaw, then get in to see the surgeon. Otherwise it is normal to feel some discomfort during the first week or so after an extraction.
If the pain subsides and the site feels good say by day 7, then you can use the coconut oil. Just use it sparingly, gently swish it around in your mouth and gently spit out.
Arnica pellets can be used throughout the day for the first 7 days or so. The idea is to use them as you need them and you need them for healing the socket.
Hope this helps...

I took arnica pellets again ( I took them on the day of extraction, not since ) can I take them, it's been like 76 hrs since extraction.
Thank you !
