How long is this pain going to last!?!?!?!?

Question

Tooth Extraction - 3pm Est on Friday.

Right Now - 530pm Est Sunday.

Status of pain: Same as it was 50 hours ago!

Number of Dentists I can get a hold of on Sunday: ZERO

Mixed Advice online: 1,243

I have no freaking idea what to do. I want to put orajel around the area. Can I do this?? My wound has pretty much closed up. Advil doesn't work and that is the strongest pain reliever I can take. How many more hours do I have to go before I feel some freaking relief!?

Answer 1

i have no idea, i think only your dentist would know but since you can't get ahold of him... wait until tomorrow, i guess. kind of a bad situation but hey, that's life.

there's websites online where you can put in your symptoms & they'll tell you how to cope & treat it. just google like, "pain after tooth extraction" or something.

drink lots of water, keep taking the advil & rest as much as possible until you can get ahold of your dentist. eat soft or liquid foods.  feel better soon!

Answer 2

Two advil and two tylenol.  They are different active ingredients and can be used at the same time - just not for an extended period.  If that doesn't work, then go for orajel.

Answer 3

pain for the 3rd day isnt a good sign, afraid u r developing dry socket, which means ur blood clost in the extraction socket failed to be maintained, if so, its a matter of another 2-3 days, then pain is decreasing but dry socket will take longer time

Answer 4
