Pain and Discomfort after Tooth Extraction

Some discomfort is normal after surgery. It can be controlled by taking the pain medication you have been prescribed or recommended by your dentist. Start taking your pain pills before the numbing medication has worn off. Take your pain pill with an 8 oz. glass of water and/or a little food to prevent nausea. Over-the-counter pain medications or Painkillers may be used for temporary pain relief. Do not overdosing on these generic drugs: Aspirin, or Ibuprofen, or Ketoprofen, or Naproxen Sodium, or Acataminophen.

Tooth extraction care may not seem like very fun and you might be rethinking all the benefits of getting a tooth pulled now, but you will be prescribed medications to relieve the pain and swelling so just take it easy and use tooth extraction care as an excuse to eat some ice cream.
