Today I got my top wisdom tooth (not impacted) and bottom wisdom tooth (impacted) removed. The anesthetics worked really well for the top one; I didn't feel a thing. The bottom one, I needed four to five more shots before I was comfortable.
Anyway, now I am experiencing the expected throbbing pain and headache. They prescribed my amoxicillin for any infection and percocet for the pain.
It's throbbing and it shoots up to my temple. That is normal I assume?
So, the real question is how long will this pain last? They said that Day 3 will feel like a bus hit me, but I have friends who say they felt better within 3-5 days. When would I be able to eat normally?
Also, is using gauze absolutely necessary? The pain sort of feels worse with the gauze in..
In spring I have to get the other 2 removed. Top isnt impacted but the bottom is partially erupted, and very close to the nerve; apparently it will "hurt more." Well, anything worse than the pain from the one I got removed today I think you could carve up a tombstone now.
Any advice appreciated!
