What to do for pain and numbness after wisdom teeth removal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Call your dentist: You failed to mention how long ago were the wisdom teeth removed? 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.
