Motrin: I hope the dentist gave you pain medication. Add ibuprophen ( motrin) or tylenol (acetaminophen) to the pain medication you are taking. Use the adult dose . Ice to thside of your face if the teeth were removed today.

Follow directions : You've been given post op instructions and prescriptions. Follow them closely. And you will need some time. Ice initially. Then warm, moist heat. Anti inflammatory and pain meds. And time.
