For how long does it hurt after just one wisdom tooth extraction?

I got a wisdom tooth out 2 days ago, it was just with local freezing, nothing major. It didn't hurt that much the day I got it out. Yesterday, the day after the extraction, it hurt a bit on and off, in the morning and in the evening. Today it actually hurt more, the adjacent tooth throbbing like crazy.





Is this normal?

Reply:I got four wisdom teeth taken out at the same time. I was knock out for three days. I didn't feel any pain. I don't think that you should be feeling more pain as the days prolong. It should be healing and getting better. Go to the dentist and have him take a look at it again. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Reply:Depends if it is a surgical extraction or not. With a surgical extraction, the tooth or most of it is not exposed. With a regular extraction, the dentist would normally pull the gum away from the tooth and clamp onto it and pull, providing the root system was not a series of J's and hooks. Usually, pain will persist the following three days after an extraction of any kind. Expect to heal quickly. Also ask your dentist for a prescriptopn of Peridex.
Reply:Yep. Get a scrip for Vicodin. If they get stupid with you and deny this, make a pest of yourself and keep calling to let them know that the weak stuff they gave you doesn't work. Stick to your guns. Ever hear of Dr. Dean? He's the famous radio talk show doctor. When asked if he were stranded on a desert island and could have access to only one medication, he said "Vicodin". It has so many different uses besides pain, from cough control to 'regularity' if you eat something bad in a restraunt. So get your pain meds. You have a right to them.
Reply:I got 2 wisdom teeth out 2 days ago just with a local in the chair, and I have experienced similar pain to you. On the day they were extracted it was not really sore, then yesterday it felt more uncomfortable than painful, but today it is throbbing. My guess is that it is pretty typical, particularly given that we have the same sort of experiences.
