Four days ago I had to have a tooth removed that was in the back.   That went well, but I am still having pain in my gums in that area.   Should I still be feeling so much pain whenever there is pressure near the extraction?  The hole is closing up well so I am just wondering why I am still in pain when it seems to be healing.   I called and asked the dentist and was told to give it a few weeks.  Should it take that long?
