Tooth Extraction
I had pain in my total right side of my face. My dentist advised me an OPG. After that he said I needed extractions of 6th teeth(Though except that I have impacted 3rd molars 2 on right side and 1 on left side. Moreover I have a broken tooth in upper left side and one on right upper) This right upper causes food particles to get i to it causing pain until I bring the food particles out).
Now as per his advice, I got my 6th lower tooth extracted on 20th March,2019 at about 8:30 PM.
Today after passing of two days I still have to pain killers twice/thrice along with antibiotics.
Please help me.How long will it take to recover? And also advice me what would be my next steps to get fully recovered from such pain 😢.
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes the surgery causes bruising, swelling, and pain, which will also require time to heal.
Rinse with mouth washes ,or saline water.
Go for dental check up.
Get x ray done again for the site if required.
Apply gum paint

It will take about 1-2 week to heal … but visit to the dentist again for inspection of the extraction site.
You can contact me for online consultation.
