It still hurts after the extraction.
an-KO-ra — stress on second syllable. 'Ancora' means 'still' or 'again' depending on context.
Call the dentist if pain persists more than 3-4 days after extraction, or if pain worsens after the first 2 days — this could indicate dry socket ('alveolite').
'Ancora' here means 'still'. 'Dopo l'estrazione' means 'after the extraction'. The condition 'dry socket' is called 'alveolite secca' in Italian — it occurs when the blood clot is lost and the bone is exposed. It causes severe pain 2-4 days after extraction and needs immediate dental treatment.
Il dolore è peggiorato dopo due giorni.
The pain got worse after two days.

Observe the extraction site — slow healing may need follow-up
After a tooth extraction in Italy, dentists give post-operative instructions ('istruzioni postoperatorie'): do not smoke for 48 hours, avoid hot food, do not rinse vigorously, keep the gauze in place. Smoking is the main risk factor for dry socket. Post-extraction painkillers: ibuprofen ('brufen') or paracetamol ('tachipirina') are standard. Antibiotics are prescribed only if infection risk exists.
