Question 3

i have severe pain one week after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom tooth: Call the oral surgeon or extracting dentist ASAP about your pain.  You may have a  dry socket.  The extracting dentist can help you.

Question 4

what does it mean if my other teeth feel pain after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Post operative pain: When oral surgery is performed, especially at your age, there is this entity called "pain on healing".  It can take about one year for new bone to fill in after having your wisdom teeth removed.  It is not uncommon for this type of healing pain around your other teeth to occur.  As always, it would be advisable to schedule a post operative visit with your oral surgeon to rule out anything else.

Question 5

please explain why does my other teeth feel pain after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Root exposure: Root exposure is a common problem with wisdom teeth removal, particularly the back sides of the second molars just in front of the wisdom teeth that were removed. In time, the bone levels fill in the socket and these exposed root surfaces are again covered by new bone. Using a good renameling or sensitivity toothpaste is often helpful in reducing the tooth pain during healing.

Question 6

how should i address a throbbing pain after my wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Pain relief: Stay on regular dose of rx meds, use icepack to help dull the pain.  If it has been more than 2-3 days since the extractions you should call your providers office because you may have post op infection or dry socket.

Question 7

please help i have jaw pain after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Call the dentist: Who removed your teeth for advice as to how best to handle the pain.

Question 8

no pain after wisdom teeth removal and nitrous oxide. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Local anesthetic : Your doctor may have used local anesthetic which lasts up to 12 hours.  Once the local anesthetic affect stops, you may feel the pain of the extraction.

Question 9

can you please tell me if i will expect more pain after wisdom teeth removal because i take birth control?

Accepted Answer

No difference: In post-operative pain or healing.  However, for women, taking oral contraceptives has been shown to increase the risk of developing dry socket.  Scheduling your treatment when estrogen levels are lowest or inactive (during the last week of the menstrual cycle) has been found to reduce the risk dramatically.

Question 10

what's a way to eat food after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Start slowly: Nutrition is important for wound healing after surgery.  Start with a soft diet and drink plenty of fluids.  You can advance your diet and types of food as tolerated.  Some people eat a regular diet immediately following surgery, while others may be more cautious and not try to resume their normal diet for several days after surgery.
