I’ve had issues with my teeth for years. I could never get numb. My teeth have been crumbling apart and I’d get them pulled. I’ve had six pulled so far, all over the years no complications.

I ended up seeing this closer dentist and he pulled an upper molar pretty easy. It wasn’t a back, it was more towards the front. This was a week ago. I’m still in a ton of pain. Saw him yesterday and he said it looked good, no dry socket but squirted a mouthwash like antibiotic into it and said to squish saltwater around and I’d be good. So then last night I wake up and it is killing me, the spot that has no tooth behind it the gum, is sooooo sore. And now something new, I’m getting a constant shooting pain in my ear and lower jaw every 2-4 seconds. It won’t stop. At first I thought it was the teeth but now I think it’s just stemming from the ear, nerve area. I mean… all this from a simple extraction? I’ve had six of these before and didn’t even had to take Motrin. I’m on it nonstop now round the clock. Should I see another dentist to look at what he did? I’m worried? :(
 
It doesn't sound right, call them again and see what they say.
