Post-Extraction Tooth Pain: What to Expect and When to See a Dentist

Yes, it is normal for the tooth next to your extracted tooth to hurt. This is because the extraction process can cause trauma to the surrounding teeth, leading to pain and discomfort. Additionally, the empty space left by the extracted tooth can cause the remaining teeth to shift, which can also lead to pain. In most cases, this pain should subside within a few days or weeks. However, if the pain persists or is severe, it is important to see your dentist to rule out any other potential causes.
