Kris,

The symptoms you are having on various teeth may be associated with clenching and/or grinding your teeth. This could also cause continued sensations in the area of the extraction.

It is unnecessary to brush or floss more than twice, three times maximum per day. You may be irritating your gums which again, would cause the symptoms you are describing.

Hormones definitely affect our gums, so yes, that could also be a contributing factor.

You have not yet stated one thing in any of your posts that would indicate a problem with the healing from the extraction.

I hope you can come to grips with the fact that it is going to take several weeks for the site to heal and that aggressive cleaning is not going to make it heal faster.

I keep praying I will go a whole day without any "odd" teeth sensations but it appears that is not happening. I have been brushing and flossing my teeth more each day so maybe I am just irritating the heck out of my gums and mouth? I am also mid cycle so maybe hormones are affecting the gums? I am a almost 40 year old female and never had a tooth extracted before and now am sooooo doubting having this done by a dentist. I wish I would have gone to an oral surgeon. Maybe the outcome would have been different.

Any thoughts???
