A member asked:
Dental experts! what will the recovery after getting one wisdom tooth pulled be like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Premedication: Premedication starting a day before wisdom teeth extractions with a mild steroid (decadron) and an anti-inflammatory (motrin) will do wonders at keeping swelling and pain under control after the procedure. With this protocol you will minimize risk for time off of work. Review this with your treating dentist.
