[SUB]I've read that with most cases, pain and swelling peaks on the third day and then starts to wane afterwards. It's different for many people, but that's the most common case I think. Try to give it two more days and see how you feel before you get too worried, but if it becomes too much, please feel 100% free to call your surgeon with any concerns, they want to help. [/SUB]

I'm sorry to hear you're having pain. I had my wisdom teeth removed last week and was in a lot of pain on days three to six. Today is finally the first day where I have not taken a painkiller all day. Sometimes the pain can last a little while but it will definitely go away soon. I would call your oral surgeon if you are concerned though. Mine was able to put a clove oil dressing in my holes and it really helped soothe the pain. I am feeling almost back to normal today. I wish you a speedy recovery as well!
