Tooth Extraction, Headache, earache?

Well yesterday i went to see the dentist to get one of my teeth removed, it had be causing me too many problems over the span of a few months, and finally it got infected and had to have it removed, when it was being extracted, the tooth extracted was one by the eruption site of the wisdom teeth, not quite came through yet as i am 17, i heard this is NOT unusual and i should be patient, i needed to have a lot of Local Anesthetic as i was in too much pain even during the preparation whenever she touched it (the infection HAD cleared up), it all went off without a hitch, i was obviously in only a bit of pain due to how much anesthetic she put on. When i got home i tried to get some sleep as i was sooooo sleepy, i didn't manage to get to sleep, and the hole left began to kill, i was in agony, i struggled to get some sleep last night and i have a big headache (but as i right this, it seems to have dissipated as i have had some pain killers), but also 2 hours after the extraction, it started to bleed again, but it bled for around 20 minuets, eventually it stopped. i woke up with still a headache as i had last night, and i have an earache, and difficulty opening my mouth.

i am thinking of calling my dentist, and maybe having an appointment, do you think this is needed, or should i wait for a few days, i've looked around on a few websites, but its better people hear my story.

thanks in advance

    Sounds like a dry socket with deferred pain. A dry socket 'sometimes occurs after a tooth is extracted and a blood clot fails to form'. I've heard repeatedly that the pain does go away, but it's pretty much all downhill from here until a few days from now. Try gargling with some warm salt water. It tastes pretty much how you'd expect...like boiled sea water, but it helps.

    If it doesn't go away/lessen by saturday afternoon, call the dentist to confirm my suspicions and schedule an appointment. I know what kind of pain you're in and it is NOT fun.

    Sounds like you could have a dry socket or two, I'd call the oral surgeon that removed these, tell them what you are going through and then see what way they most recommend to handle it, don't wait.
