Pain medication: The dentist who removed your wisdom teeth is the one to discuss and prescribe pain medication with you. Call that office.

Narcotic meds: Impacted teeth can be very painful. Your oral surgeon should have prescribed narcotic pain meds and given you a complete list of instructions. Until you contact him/her, use OTC pain meds, ice.

Pain medication: In most cases simple over-the-counter pain relief is enough to ease any discomfort.or pain. Rx pain medication may be especially helpful if bone has been removed. Call your surgeon for Rx if needed.
