Question:

After you have teeth removed, will there be tooth pain due to increased circulation around the teeth and the?

wearing off of pain medication and new alignment of the bite for a while? How long will they hurt? Had wisdom, #32 and molar #31 removed. Been a week now. Still taking 2 motrin twice a day for pain. Trying to slow down the pain meds.


Answers:

Hopefully your dentist gave you detailed instructions on what to do when you left the dentist's office. Usually they recommend a cold pack and warm pack, I am not sure in which order but both were recommended to my son when he had his wisdom teeth removed. Also, I hope they told you to NOT drink from a straw. That is VERY important to the healing process. It is a painful thing to have done but can ALSO become painful if you develop what is called "dry socket". If you're still experiencing pain after a week, NOT THAT YOU HAVE DRY SOCKET BUT, I would call my dentist and see if they want to see you in their office again before your recheck to be sure you aren't experiencing something unusual. I would just call my dentist, tell them everything you wrote in your question and see what they say. I would think by now the pain would be subsiding substantially. Be on the safe side and call the dentist before enduring any more pain that might be caused by a possible problem. Good luck!!!!!
