Wisdom teeth: extraction is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. Pain, swelling, bad breath and infection following surgery is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery. Alternate NSAID OTC with painkiller prescribed by your surgeon for pain control. After that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. Good luck.
