It sounds like you have a dry socket. For most people, that'd be the only explanation for that much pain 5 days later. you should go see your doc.

Yuck, ok. I was hoping not to hear that but I guess I should give the doc a call...

Ok, scratch that. I miscalculated, today is Day 4. So I think I'm gonna just wait until tomorrow and see if it gets better. If it's not then I'll call the doc and see what's up...

lol you think like I do. I'll cross my fingers for you that the next 24 hours will make all of the difference in the world, but maybe you should go ahead and make an appointment to see the dentist anyways!! I don't blame you though, I'd put it off too!!

lol, yeah. I'm just kind of content here watching tv chillin' on pain meds.... and the dentist is a 30-40 min drive away... i'm bad, i know - lol ;P

Well, it was a bit of a dry socket after all. They put a medicated dressing w/clove oil in the hole. The pain has gone down some but the clove oil tastes AWFUL! Those of you who have had this know what I mean. Is there anything to get rid of that horrible taste?

Nope, the horrible taste will stick around for awhile. But, eventually you get used to it.
