Suggest Remedy For Tooth Pain

It s been 8 days since all 4 wisdom teeth were removed. They were all fully bonely impacted. I am still in excruciating pain. I went back to the oral surgeon on Thursday and he said I don t have any infections or dry sockets and wants me to see him again in a week. I just don t understand why I m in so much pain. The pain meds don t help me at all.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The severe pain after extraction of the wisdom teeth can be because of the excessive bone cutting during tooth removal or it can be because of the injury to the muscle while injecting local anesthesia. The other possible cause can be a sharp bony spicule left after tooth removal. Nothing to be panic, take an analgesic with anti inflammatory drug like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase combination. If the pain does not subside, even after this, then consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

During healing phase of tissue injury, an abnoxious stimuli such as pain would be caused by release of many inflammatory mediators. To suppress this mediators you would be required to take steroidal or non steroidal med depending o the threshold of pain. If your threshold of pain is unbearable you should see your surgeon immediately.
