The only time I ever had any teeth out (wisdom teeth), I had some pain in one of my sockets. Dentist said that a bit of bread had got into it. They just flushed it out with saline. You can do the same by rinsing with salt water, as well as using a dental water jet. Dont know if they have those at Boots or the like. At the time, I was using NHS care, and the pain pills they gave me really weren't that great. I was getting stomach-sick from rotating every kind of pain reliever over the minimum number of hours.

Helenn, I don't really know what to tell you, but I do know that dabbing coconut oil on my canker sores calmed them a lot. Maybe it might help calm the pain you have?
