What pain pills are needed after having wisdom teeth removed?

Depends: The need for pain medication is dependent upon the difficulty of the extraction. You may only need an over the counter medication to a prescription medication. The decision will be made by your dentist after the procedure is completed.

Depends: This depends on the difficulty of the extraction. Can range from advil or tylenol (acetaminophen) to vicodin or percocet. The surgeon would be the best person to evaluate this.
