Thanks everyone. He is still in a great deal of pain today but not feeling off. If he's still in pain tomorrow, I'll be making him go back to the dentist. Didn't know about the dry socket thing, I'll be telling him about that!
Yeah the dry socket thing is awful - other signs include bad, bad breath and pain that radiates up the jawbone, ear, across face etc. It's quite a different sort of pain to the normal tenderness that you would expect after a tooth removal. If there's any suspicion of a dry socket at all, go back sooner rather than later, they will put a lump of stuff in there which brings instant relief.
