Post wisdom tooth: It is normal for there to be some post op swelling and pain. Continue to rinse are directed, eat a soft diet, take prescribed antibiotics. Call the extracting dentist if you are experiencing increasing pain or swelling. It is ok to call even on a Sunday.

NSAIDs-Tylenol OTC: keep a good oral hygiene and see your dentist/oral surgeon in the Monday morning. Most dentists leave some slots in their daily schedules to accommodate dental emergencies.
