I got my wisdom teeth pulled five days ago, but they still hurt! I ran out of my med's for it and have been taking tylenol after I ran out. It isn't a harsh pain its somewhat dull. What should I do is there any home cures, I'm going to get it checked out in three days but I cant hold out that long. Please help :(I cant get it refilled i was on Vicodin and he wont refill it :(
Kyle S - Call your dentist and have him refill the prescription. You don't need the pain to be checked out unless the doctor requires you to come pick up the script than in that case ask if they could take a look because in your case, that amount of pain may be abnormal. Otherwise, feeling pain for days afterwards is normal. They ripped out a part of your body so...
ReplyDeleteEypsa Koehler - If there is extreme pain and foul odor in mouth, then it can be due to dry socket. Pain is usually there after the wisdom tooth extraction. but the intensity of pain starts decreasing with time. You can continue with the warm saline rinses or can take some pain med after consulting your dentist. keep the socket area clean to avoid any food accumulates and maintain a good oral hygiene. food at the socket area also causes pain. for more info on care after wisdom tooth extraction, you can refer to the following article...http://www.identalhub.com/article_care-after-wisdom-tooth-extraction-258.aspx
