Hi Victoria ~ I'd call my dentist - you might have a "dry socket." That happens sometimes after an extraction, and it's EXTREMELY painful. It won't stop until you see the dentist and he does something about it. it's cause if you suck on a straw, or smoke, or drink or eat too soon afterwards. There are other things that cause it too. Give him a call! Best of luck. God bless. Hugs, Lee
