Do i need to allow a couple more daays before i call the doc and let him know i just had my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday????? I was pre sribed Vicodine 7.5
The pain from a tooth extraction should start lessening the second day. If you had the teeth pulled Tuesday and you're still having considerable pain Thursday, it would be a good idea to the doctor who pulled them. You could have developed a dry socket, which would need to be treated.
I'd be hesitant to put anything around the area without asking your doctor. You don't want to take a chance on getting an infection. Actually, the nurse should be able to answer that question if you just call his office.
I agree with Karen, call your Denist, even if his office is closed.
I to am looking at major Dential work, my Mom couldn't afford it when I was a child. She was a singel parent, my X-Dad was to eep my sister & me on his Ins....he didn't. He played so many games with the 'Support' check & it wasn't that he couldn't afford $60.00 a mon. for 2 girls. He was a 'Big Shot' at the phone co., he was a 'Good' Christian person. He's now a worse 'Hipacritial'(?) Christian.
My Sister was taken to the Dentist, when she had to go. She was 'Mom's Baby'. Got away with everything. I know all about 'tothacks', I put an asprin on my tooth, or I think ''Anbesol' works better. Now I have a teeth worse then a 'Crack' addict.
Will be ready to start after the first of the yr. Good Luck. Keep us posted. Hugs. XXOO
