Impacted wisdom tooth

2021-04-17 18:04:16
Hi my sister has impacted wisdom toothache for the past three days. And she went dentist two days before. Doctor recommends to remove her impacted wisdom tooth. So she went clinic today and removed it and did stitches. She feels so much pain and not able to open her mouth even she had taken the pain killer tablets. When will she recover from that pain?

Hi...first of all no need to worry.The pain and sweling is common after post extraction.Take medications properly as prescribed by ur dentist.Avoid eating in the extracted side and take soft diet for 1 week.Never do force gargling and irritate that area with tongue.
Next Steps
If the pain is more visit ur dentist immediately so that they could increase the dosage of the medication.

1) Add pinch of salt to lukewarm water and Do warm saline rinses 4-5 times a day for atleast 7-10 days. 2) the oral surgeon must have prescribed NSAID (painkiller), that needs to be taken duly. 3) Do not put any hot packs in the affected area 4) take non spicy and semi solid diet and avoid chewing from that area Take care!

Well it’s absolutely normal to have swelling and pain for next 3-4 days as there would have been some amount of bone cutting involved. There is no need to panic. Both pain and swelling should come down from day 5.
Next Steps
Complete your course of antibiotics and pain killers. Do warm water saline rinses 3-4 times a day preferably after a meal.
