What you are experiencing is a relatively common part of the healing process. The tissue overgrowth is likely 'granulation tissue,' which is your body's natural way of repairing the socket. Sometimes, minor irritation from a tiny bone splinter or retained debris can cause this tissue to overgrow and trigger referred pain in nearby teeth. I highly recommend having your dentist take a quick look to evaluate the site and ensure it heals comfortably.
