How long did you feel pain after your wisdom teeth were pulled?

Question

I'm 30 which is a little late to get my wisom teeth pulled but I finaly did it! There were a few complications; It was infected, impacted, my roots were hooked... It was a pretty rough surgery. I'm on motrin and two antibiotics. My energy level is a little better but I'm still experiencing some pain. They told me that it would be a little worse then the usual recovery, but I'm curious if anyone has had a similar experience and how long it took you to feel better. Mine was pulled on Friday. Unfortunately, I still have one more to go through!

Answer 1

Lenny,  as with anything health related there is no exact answer to your question.  Everyone has different experiences.  Pain usually peaks around day 3 though so you're there.  Things should be getting better.  Just make sure to keep the sockets clear of food, and keep eating foods rich in protein!

Answer 2

Hi!

When I got mine extracted & it was rough too, I took pain pills for a week.First 3 days were VERY rough,I just wanted to curl up & die as I found out I was allergic to vicodine which the doc prescribed.Imagine finding out that U just took this pill & it pulls this act on U BUT eventually it  got better infact on the 5th day the pain was just a dull throb& I didn;t have to take any pain pill but I did just to be better!

I sincerely hope U don't take more then a few days to recover!

take care &

GOOD LUCK!
