Tooth extraction?

Question

Today at the dentist I had a tooth removed on the right side of my mouth, the numbness has gone but now the right side of my mouth is in pain is there anything I can do to relieve the pain?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Advil or motrin

Answer 2

An extraction, and he gave you no vicodin???

Answer 3

This is normal. If the pain intensifies in a day or two then call the dentist. Otherwise just take an over the counter pain pill.

Don't drink through a straw or swish your mouth with mouthwash. You don't want a dry socket.

Answer 4

i'd give the dentist a call and have her/him send a prescription to your pharmacy... when i got a tooth pulled i was give vicoprofen.. it worked wonders... otherwise lots of ibuprofen.

Answer 5

Ibuprofen or Motrin.

DONT take Aspirin because its a blood thinner as well as a pain releiver and it could make u bleed more at the extraction site.
