In general, the following symptoms may occur: 1. The patient may experience sudden, severe tooth pain, which may last for a period of time or persist for a long duration, even up to several months. 2. The patient may feel tingling sensations in certain areas of the teeth, gums, and upper or lower jaw, and sometimes numbness may occur. 3. The patient may develop ulcers on the lips, tongue, or cheek near the affected tooth; these ulcers may present with redness, swelling, burning, and pain. 4. The patient may experience discoloration, deformation, or even loss of teeth. If any of the above symptoms appear after tooth extraction, prompt medical attention is recommended.
