Wisdom tooth extraction

angryonion

So on the 23third of April I had a wisdom tooth pulled.
My question is how long until this thing stops hurting,I'm running out of opiates
There is no swelling so I don't think its infected.

Lidocaine would work better for that...if you can get it. Honestly, I have no idea bud--mine only hurt for a day or two.

Thank you for your reply,I think I had a dry socket thing.
Fuck if I knew how long the proses was I never would have had the tooth pulled in the first place.
Now its no big deal but I have One hell of a hole in my mouth.
Its gets full of food and I hate it,thankfully I have a water pick.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out when i had my braces.

The food thing is annoying but the gum hardens up and expands, it'll feel like normal in about a week.

I refused to let them dope me up and didn't feel a thing.

A dry socket is a nasty thing. It not only can be painful but it can taste and smell awful.
