Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. No it is not normal to have pain in an extracted tooth after 12 days, as primary healing takes places in 7 to 10 days, and subsides. It can be possible that because of food lodgment in that area there is some infection had started. Better once you should visit your dentist and get the area cleaned with the help of irrigation. Hope it will help you. Thank you.
