Not usually: There is a wide range of post operative pain following the removal of a tooth. It depends upon many factors. Call your dentist for advice. This usually requires pain medication. If otc pain medication such as advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) or what you normally take for a headache is not enough, your dentist can prescribe something stronger. You might also have to also be seen to evaluate the area.

Sometimes: Call your dentist for a stronger pain medication. Or you may need a long lasting anesthetic.
