I had a tooth extraction and I am still in pain 8 weeks later, what do you suggest?

Q. Hello Dr Moore, unfortunately your answer did not appear on your blog so I shall ask again with a little bit more added. I still get an ache where the extraction site is 8 weeks after extraction, is this normal and should I have a bridge whilst this is going on? This is the added bit – I have seen the dentist once again and took 2 x-rays, nothing showed up as to why I am still in pain and has referred me to my local hospital. What do you think it is?,
A. Hello, im sorry the answer didn’t appear on the blog site
I’m not sure but after that amount of time it might be either a bone infection or more likely the pain is coming from another tooth?? Several consultations may be needed to get to the source of your pain.
Hope that is helpful and I hope they find the reason for the pain soon
