Tooth Extraction?

2 questions here, i had my tooth pulled hmmm 30 hours ago.





and the neibouring teeth are slightly painful and probably lose, i know thats only natual as they are all conected, but how long do they stay like this for?





and another question ive been given a temp denture until my implant is ready, the tooth is slightly bigger than my natural teeth, i think this is because after the tooth as been pulled my gum will shink and it will probably fit then.





how long does it take for your gum to shrink back down?





grr role on impant ;) thanks for the replys.

Tooth Extraction?
well i'm not sure actually how long the teeth stay loose... i didn't experience this... but i did have a tooth extracted a month ago (to the day) and i, also, have a "partial"denture until i'm ready for an implant...


yeh, my denture/fake tooth was a bit bigger than my others when i first had it. i waited about a week after the extraction, and had my denture "adjusted." they pretty much just filed the "tooth" down a bit closer to the shape and size of the rest of your real ones.


my dentist said that i would be healed enough to go for an implant at about 12 weeks... said that anywhere between 12 wks and 6 months would be the preferable time frame to get implant. he said that if you wait much longer than that, there will be problems related to bone loss in your jaw, i.e. you might have to get a bone graft on top of the whole implant situation





but i'm not an expert, and i'm learning as i go... btw, a month later, it still hurts... not as bad, but it still hurts. cheers!
Reply:it takes a week for neighbouring teeth and two wks for your gum
