I have had a couple teeth pulled. Some hurt more than others. I think it depends on how hard it was for them to take the tooth out. Some bleed more than others also. My dentist says to put a towel or old pillowcase on your pillow the first night cause you can bleed alot. Did they give you any pain medicine? Sometimes that helps. I have never really had any complications just alot of pain. It seems to get sorer a day or two later then kinda just stops hurting so much. Hope you feel better :)

They just told me to take advil. I know that he said her left a piece in or that something broke ..I am not sure..so I will have to see about it later..Nerves are very painful points of contacts and noting worse than a pulled tooth.

I've had a tooth pulled out last year. It was my wisdom tooth and there wasn't enough space for it to come out. It was growing into my cheek. It was an okay experience. I've heard bad stories about having a tooth pulled out and was a little apprehensive. But luckily for me, it wasn't as bad as I thought and it was bearable. I didn't even know the tooth was out.
