Pain medication: The discussion of what to take as far as appropriate pain medication should be discussed with the dentist who will or has treated you.

Specializes in Pain Management

Pain management: After a person has their wisdom teeth pulled, pain management is the next step. Hydrocodone is much stronger than other tooth pain medications like Aleve, (naproxen) but combination is recommended.
