Still pain after wisdom teeth extraction?!


Question:

Still pain after wisdom teeth extraction?

i just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out this past friday, and 3 are healing perfect i have not had any pain out of the what so ever, but the one on the bottom left was an inpacted tooth and it is killing me, the whole left side of my face is swollen and bruised, it hurts so bad. i dont think it is dry socket but i aint totally sure about that.. does anyone know when the pain is gonna ease up? it seems to be getting worse, the pain pills help b/c they knock me out, but i cant stay on pain pills b/c my mom leaves tom and and got my kids to take care of, and my pain pills make me dizzy and groggy...plus im really hungry lol....my mouth is so swollen i cant put my teeth together to chew anything..and what i would give for a hamburger right now lol. will the pain go away soon? or do i need to call me dr?


Answers:

Call your Dr.and explain your problem. Impacted teeth hurt the most and your symptoms are normal. They had to work on that tooth a lot longer! Working in the dental field I see this all the time! Time is all that it usually takes. Try a milder form of a pain killer such as an over the counter med( Advil, Aspirin, etc) Just call your pharmacist to make sure the prescription meds won't interfere with the Over the counter one BEFORE you start that! Ice your jaw too! And try pudding! Remember to not use a straw or smoke, you don't want dry socket on top of this!!
