Call your dentist: Please call the dentist who removed your wisdom teeth. He\she will know best how to advise you regarding appropriate pain medication and follow up visits to monitor healing.

Pain or Soreness?: Perception and response to surgery and pain differ from patient to patient. After the first two to three days, most patients will describe the discomfort as soreness. If you are having significant discomfort, your dentist or surgeon should evaluate you to determine the cause.
