Speak to surgeon: Call and speak to the surgeon who removed your teeth. He\she can prescribe adequate pain medication for you and discuss what else can be done. Your own dentist is responsible for your care and well being and will know best how to answer your question.

Dry socket: Most common cause of "unbearable pain" after wisdom tooth removal is a dry socket where the blood clot has waged out and the bone is exposed to the oral environment. Please return to the surgeon who did your extraction for rx and, in all probability, lam ost instantaneous relief.

See oral surgeon: If the pain is "unbearable" despite pain meds, you may have a dry socket. See your oral surgeon. If you con't have a dry socket, you may need stonger pain medication. If your tooth was removed by a general dentist, see an oral surgeon.

Dry socket?: visit the person who removed the teeth. You may have a dry socket from rejecting a blood clot
