Izmon,

The stinging pain can be nerve related but that does not definitively mean there is permanent nerve damage. The throbbing pain is from stimulation to the sensory neurons (nerve cells) as they respond to the pulsations of nearby blood vessels. Teeth that have decay, infection, and even recession can cause similar symptoms. So it's wise to rule out those things. These symptoms can also occur as part of a prolonged healing time. Meaning if there was some substantial nerve trauma during the extractions, the healing of those areas can be lengthy and variations in pain can occur during that time.

What is the health status of your other teeth and of your gums? Do you have any root canaled teeth?

If the rest of your teeth are healthy according to a recent dental examination and xrays, then it's important that the OS know exactly what is going on. He would need a time line with descriptive symptoms as he may want to refer you to another dentist or neurologist. If these symptoms are not subsiding and/or they are increasing in intensity, please do not hesitate to go back to the OS.
