It depends....: Usually your operative provider is the best person to answer this question....Not someone who has not examined you and is guessing....Call your provider.

Surgeries: Should be no more painful than having a headache in your mouth for a few days. Probably less painful than when those teeth abscessed, and much healthier to remove those focuses of infection. Oral Surgeon will provide Rx for appropriate meds. Make sure to follow medication directions to the letter. And no, should not cause airway distress.
