Pain After Wisdom Teeth Removal??? Posted: 11-14-05 09:27am
Ok so I got all 4 of my impacted wisdom
teeth removed on tuesday the 8th it is now
monday almost a whole week and my lower
left side is still hurting! I'm thinking
it might be a dry socket, but is there a
chance there could be an infection? It
goes away when I take my pain meds, but im
sick of being dizzy and out of it!
Any thoughts or opinions would be
appreciated!!!

I had similar problem after removing a
lower wisdom tooth (the process took
almost 3 hours...Painful). After 2 weeks,
it was still hurting ( thought it was
normal since the lengthy procedure was
hard on the gums). The dentist had
informed me that if dry socket, it would
hurt + I would have bad breath. 2 weeks
later, the pain was there, but no bad
breath (later when I went to the dentist,
he mentioned that bad breath was due to
food getting stuck in the socket, but I
was cleaning sockets out well, so only
experienced the pain, swelling and I could
feel my blood veins swollen as they
delivered high bloodflow to combact the
bacteria).
Anyways, when I went back to dentist, he
confirmed the dry socket, and put some
medicated fibre like substance that also
has antibiotics and painkillers to plug up
the socket. After about a couple of days,
the pain stopped.
Just my experience...If it helps in
anyway.

Yeah I went to the dentist and I have a
dry socket. He could have put the pack
in, but I chose just to take the pain
killers. Its still hurting. I'm hoping
the pain will go away soon!

Hopefully you are taking antibiotics with
the pain killers (not just painkillers).
The pack works really well too.

Yeah i'm taking some antibiotics, the
pain has kind of gone away, but my mouth
still hurts!!! And it feels like
something is poking my cheek on the upper
right side!!
I lost my post op thing (my mom threw it
out) and I remember it saying something
about sharp bony edges but I cant remember
what it said!!!
I dont understand why i'm having such a
difficult time with this 10 days later.
Everyone else is like fine in like 4
days!!!!
I can't eat anything semihard yet without
it hurting......This whole thing has been
a pain in the neck I would have been
better off just leaving them!!!!!!
