in horrible pain.. please please help

[iceoneson]

So I got a tooth pulled from my upper jaw about 6 hours ago. I've had other extracted so i wasnt concerned about this one...... Until; I realized its still bleeding, my entire face is killing me. Ohh and I cant nearly move my jaw, its extremely stiff all a sudden, and I'm in serious pain. Like way more than I've been in before getting my teeth pulled.... And also can I drink beer having this hole I'm my mouth??? Also I know I'm not supposed to smoke, ciggerettes, because OF the sucking, MY question is this, if my brother fills up my Bong and i clear it out (takes minimal sucking) more like just breathing in threw a 3 inch tube

I am NOT a dentist, but here is my two-cents as a person who has had several teeth pulled. (Four wisdom teeth, one molar, and four pre-molars prior to wearing braces.)

If the socket from the tooth is still bleeding, moisten a tea bag (regular tea, not herbal tea), squeeze it out, and then place it over the socket. Lightly bite down on it. The tannins in black tea help stop the bleeding.

I wouldn't drink beer, or anything else, until the socket has definitely stopped bleeding for several hours. You need to form a clot in the socket for it to stop bleeding and any liquid you drink can keep the clot from forming.

I also wouldn't smoke. Tobacco or a bong. Again, that tooth socket needs to be left as alone as you can manage for it to begin healing.

Are you taking anything for pain? Non-steroidal anti-inflamatories such as aspirin or ibuprofen also cause your blood to clot more slowly. If you are taking those, it may be partly why your socket is still bleeding. You might try switching to acetaminophen (Paracetamol) which doesn't have that effect.

Try putting an ice-pack on the affected cheek to reduce swelling and help with the pain. Heat is not normally recommended this soon.

If you really are in excruciating pain, call your dentist's office or -- if they're closed -- you could even call or go to the A&E department of your nearest hospital.

A certain amount of pain after a tooth extraction is not uncommon, but it shouldn't be unbearable.

Sounds like you might have dry socket, you have my sympathy. Go back to the dentist if it is dry socket it needs a medicated pack in the socket and probably some antibiotics, go sooner rather than later.
Don't smoke anything,

I hope you get out of pain soon, I have had dry socket and it kills worse than any tooth ache and it does get your whole head and jaw as you described.
