A member asked:
I'm having severe headaches after wisdom teeth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wisdom tooth: extraction is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. Pain, swelling, headache and infection following surgery is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery. After that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. Pain after 7 days is a serious issue. See your dentist/surgeon for post-op appointment and treatment. Take care.
