Dental Work Done While Under A General Aenesthetic?!

Dental Work Done While Under A General Aenesthetic?

Ok, so here's the thing. I am terrified of the dentist. I had to go and get a tooth pulled however, so I decided to do it under general anesthetic. The tooth that was pulled was the last molar on the bottom. Now I know when they put you out to do it, you have a breathing tube inserted. Is it unusual to have some pain in the teeth above the one you had removed? I was wondering if this pain is from the air tube. I have no pain at all in the site of the extraction, so I am sure it's not dry socket. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was put completely out because I am terrified of the dentist. I had a very bad experience.

When they have to extract a tooth under general anesthesia, they have to hold your mouth open with a clamp. It takes a while to get the tooth out, so it's not unusual to have jaw pain for a while afterward. That may be what you're experiencing. When I had a tooth pulled, my whole jaw ached for a few days. Call your dentist back if it doesn't get better or if you're worried, but most likely that's all it is. Hope you feel better.
