Did the dentist give you a prescription for pain meds?
Even OTC advil or motrin works pretty well if you take it before the hard pain sets in. It's not as effective if you wait too long.

I'm sure you are relieved to have this over with....... please follow the post op instructions and rinse with warm salt water starting tomorrow. The salt water helps the area to heal and it keeps it clean too.

Thanks for checking back in with us....... hope to hear from you again soon.

Well I have pain medication I take from my pain management Dr. and so I take that three times a day, vicodin 350/10 mg. and it's helping a bit but I am definitely feeling pain....I had some tomato soup tonight and feel good like no nausea thank heavens, but the bad news is there is a tooth next to where this one was that I might not be able to hang onto until the free dental clinic in July, so I am kinda down about that, if it gets infected like this other one did OUT it comes...I am making another appt with the dentist just in case and they don't mind if I end up cancelling it because things aren't bad, and then making another appt for another month later, so month to month we'll go playing it by ear.
