Hi all,
I had all four of my impacted wisdom teeth removed a week ago. I’m 23 and I waited because I was terrified to get it done in the first place. Well, after a week I am in so much pain I can’t even think straight. First things first, I have had issues with the front desk staff of my dentists office so I was wary to use this dentist to begin with, but for insurance purposes I did. The surgery seemed to have gone well, I was completely sedated. I woke up groggy and numb as expected. I was given no medication to take home (no pain meds or antibiotics, even though I just had four impacted teeth ripped out of my head?!?! Oooook) On day 1 after the anesthesia wore off I didn’t feel much pain at all, day 2 I was still fine. I was taking a lot of OTC ibuprofen and Tylenol mixed together as per doctors orders. One day 3 I began using moist heat compressed to help with the pain I began to feel. It was throbbing, stiff, sore and radiating up into my ear and causing extreme headaches. Now here I am one day 7 with even more pain and throbbing and NOTHING is helping. I took very good care of the wounds, rinsing with salt water, using the pick to get food out etc, please someone help me understand why I’m still in so much pain.
Oh and when I went in to have the dentist look at my mouth on day 5 he blew me off and told me I was fine. OUCH.
