I had a dental implant put in my lower jaw yesterday, to replace a lower 2nd molar. I tooktwo extra strength tylenol right after the procedure. When the numbness wore off, I was in excruciating pain. I have had a lot of dental work, and the pain was worse than my extractions and apicoectomies. I took a tramadol (can't take ibuprofen), but the pain persisted for at least 8 hours. It was bad enough I wanted to go get the implant taken out.
It lessened somewhat overnight, after regular doses of tylenol and tramadol.
Today the pain is still quite uncomfortable, but more wha I would have expected.
My husband just talked to his dad, who had an implant a few months ago. He said he had no pain and that his oral surgeon said severe pain was a sign of failure, or damage to the jaw and to call if he experienced it.
My oral surgeon said it would be easier than the extraction, but it was not.
The office is closed today, due to weather, but should I call in?
