How long should the pain last after tooth extraction?

  • My two lower wisdom teeth were extracted 5 days ago. They were both impacted and lodged under my jaw bone. I still have pretty bad pain that is only lessened (but not eliminated) by ...show more

  • Answer:

    Mandibular (lower) wisdom teeth frequently are fused to the jaw. Considering they were impacted only adds insult to injury. The doctor that extracted your teeth should have scheduled a post operative appointment. If they didn't, I'd give them a call and speak with the assistant. You know yourself best, but I think 5 days post op and still being tender is very normal. If the pain is keeping you awake at night, I'd schedule to see the dentist, as you could have dry sockets.

Call the dentist to check and make sure that you don't have a dry socket or an infection. If over the counter stuff isn't helping the pain they may tell you to take up to 4 Advil every 4 hours or write you a prescription.

Hey: I once had 3 extraccions in one day and I had for pain releaver PONSTAND, in capsules, but do not remember the mlgm. and it worked. Taking 1 every 8 hours. They are fantastic. I think, that can be bought without prescrpcion, but you must consult your doctor. Pain should not last more than 24 hours, I guess.
