Wisdom tooth pain the day after surgery?!
Question:
Wisdom tooth pain the day after surgery?
I got my teeth out this morning, and i'm fine right now (im non vicodin). one of my teeth hurts a little when i swallow, but thats it. my chin is still numb however, and what i'm worried about is the pain that im going to get after the numbness wears off! when will i be able to tell when the numbness is gone and the pain is at its worst?
also can anybody give me tips to avoid dry socket (besides the usual..no smoking, no strawws)
Answers:
It will hurt for a couple of days before the pain starts to subside. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and start taking aspirin before the numbness goes away. That should alleviate some of the pain before it gets too bad. For some people, the pain is killer, others don't seem to be that affected by their surgery.
