how long does it take for the pain to go away when you take a wisdom tooth out?

takes about four minutes to go away, that is the time it takes to roll yourself a good doobie, lite up and enjoy the fact that not only is your tooth gone but also your wisdom, why do you think it is call a wisdom tooth.\n\nIf you don't like the cannabis route then a good shot of Beam black will always do the trick.\n\nWhat you say you don't do drugs or drink achohol, then you are in for a painful 3 to 4 months maybe even a year  The real pain will start in a few days when you get the bill from the dentist then it is a pain in the ass or the place you carry your wallet.\n\nYou could cut off a limb then you will forget about the pain of your wisdom tooth.\n\nWell try those remedies if they don't work next time brush your teeth twich daily and floss, floss, floss......\n\nGee when I previewed this they had put *** in place of the word ass which is a biblical term I believe for a beast of burden, is that politically correct or even legal???\n\nDarn it they did it again, lets try "pain in the mule"\n\nWell that made it, good luck again, you know what I mean...

The dentist or oral surgeon will numb you to make sure you do not feel anything.  Then the doc will expose the tori bone and shave it down with a drill.  He will then stitch the tissue closed and you will heal for a period of time.  Removing tori is not usually indicated unless a patient is getting a partial or a denture.  I don't know how painful the surgery is afterward as I have never had it done, but I can't imagine it is any worse then say wisdom tooth extractions.  I had to have mine out in which he stitched closed the sockets and they did not hurt to much.  Uncomfortable for a few days, but I had pain meds for that.  Good luck.

About 5.  Plan to take the pain medicine as recommended, and when you get home, pack your face in cold packs or ice bags.  The pain will not be as intense if you prevent excessive swelling.\n\nA woman I work with just had one wisdom tooth extracted, and was back to work the next day.\n\nAdditionally, your fingertips provide a natural form of pain relief for most parts of your body.  When you need some relief, firmly grip and pinch one of your fingertips.  If it doesn't provide relief, try another, until you locate the fingertip that relieves your pain.  Then, use that as a drug-free pain reliever.

Why remove a wisdom tooth?  This is a lower, but the same thing can happen on the upper if you don't have room for the tooth.\n\nhttp://www.members.aol.com/swf08302/wizdk.jpg shows one reason.  This is what can happen by the time you are 40 or 50 if you leave a wisdom tooth in place when it is impacted.  The red arrows on the x-ray show the grey area that has decayed due to the wisdom tooth being present under the gum.  The tooth shown is the exact same tooth shown in the x-ray, but turned so you can see the cavity.  Food and bacteria can get down there and you can't clean it out.  Eventually, it makes a cavity in the tooth next to the wisdom tooth and makes it so you have to have BOTH teeth removed.

the actual extraction...3 minutes with no complications. plus you must get numb first. then if the tooth breaks...time becomes more of an issure as do sounds and pressure. if you are that nervous.... i would refer you to an oral surgeon and recommend you have sedation. then it wont matter what happens.

It's normal to be sore for a while after having a tooth removed.  Try taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it which works better than Tylenol or aspirin.  If it is still bothering you after a couple of weeks see your dentist again.

Torus Mandibularis is what you have.  Yes I am familiar with them as many people have them, it is more commen then you think.  Removing them can be a pain, but with the proper treatment you will be fine.  Usually after removal, the healing takes about 6-8 weeks for the swelling to go down and the tissue to heal.  How much bone removal depends on how the dentist wants your partial to fit in relation to your maxillary teeth.  Your dentist may or may not do extractions the same day as he works on your tori, depends on the dentist. You will be under the weather and sore for several days, so I would def. take it easy.  Your doc will prob. give you some type of pain killer, so don't drive while you are taking this as many of them can make you sleepy.  Follow his instructions exactly so you can get the fastest healing time.  Def. don't smoke or drink alcohol during this time.  Have you asked your dentist about implants?  If you haven't you should.  They can be a great thing depending on your dental needs.  good luck.

i had dry socket when they had to impact my wisdom teeth... the reason i knew i had it was b/c the drugs they gave me stopped working... i was still in so much pain even though i was taking vicodin... then i ran out of that and was literally having to take 800mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours... it's best to go back and have them thoroughly clean your sockets... for me they put oil of clove strips in the sockets so i wouldn't feel the pain while they healed...

When I had my wisdom teeth out, I had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed at once. It was horrible! I am allergic to all kinds of prescription pain meds. I told the surgeon that and he gave me one that made me throw up two days after the surgery, which made the pain in my mouth worse (from the stomach acid hitting the wounds in my mouth.)\n\nI found Advil Liquigels to be the only thing that helped me. (That stuff is a Godsend!) I took 4 Advil Liquigels (which equals I prescription strength ibuprofen) every 6 hours on a full stomach. I also applied heat and ice alternatively to my face. It made being awake bearable. LOL.\n\nGood luck and I hope you feel better!

Many people will have the procedure done on a Friday and then they are fine to return to work the following Monday.  The pain you experience is going to depend on your tolerence level.  For me, I would rate it a 2.  It was more annoying than painful.  Just make sure to follow the post-operative instructions your dentist gives you to help minimize your pain and discomfort.  Do not smoke, drink through a straw, spit forcefully or fiddle with the areas with your tongue as any of these actions could disrupt the blood clot and cause a dry socket.... you absolutely do not want that to happen as it is not uncommon for a dry socket to be more painful than a toothache.  Try to avoid talking as much as possible for the first 24 hours.  Avoid things with citric acid such as orange juice and tomato soup for a couple of days.  Eat soft foods such as scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes for the first couple of days and then begin eating foods as you feel you can.  You should do fine... don't worry :) Oh, and the actual procedure itself will probably take no more than about 30 minutes.

I've had mine done and it doesn't really hurt that bad.Some places will numb you before they Peirce it.Just remember to practice good hygiene and NO SEX for at least 2 weeks to allow for healing.If you want to numb it yourself......use orajel or some other teething remedy.

i had 3 wisdom tooth extracted. Yes it is quite normal for it to bleed a little after one day especially if its from the lower jaw. Semi solid foods are good...if u like porriage or soft rice. I used to drink those complete nutrition drinks like Ensure or Resourse....it taste good and a can keeps u full for about 3-4 hours. And do try to lay off the ciggies for awhile...dont think the smoke make it heal any faster. Good oral hygiene is important too...rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash 3-4 times a day especially after meals

I have seen dry socket occur up to one week after an extraction. Of course, this patient was a heavy smoker.

i just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and it wasn't so bad.  i had iv sedation too, i think that is the only way to go.  i was talking and telling them about a trip i went on and the next thing i knew they woke me up.  i must have just fallen asleep right away.  you will feel the needle from the shot, but its only a pinch and will go away right away.  when i woke up i felt like i was drunk, but was ok.  after an hour or so the sedation starts to wear off and you need to take pain killers.  to be honest it did hurt like hell the first day, just take some medicine get an ice pack and go to sleep and you won't feel the pain.  it will hurt for a few days, just keep taking pain medicine and relaxing by your 4th day you should be all good.\n\ni heard that if you tell your doctor you are affraid they might be able to give you a Volume pill before you go in for the surgery to help you calm yourself down.\n\ndon't cancel it, you need to get it done and if you wait it will be even worse.  its good to do it at once because if you do only part you will have to go back and endure the same thing again.  don't do that!\n\nyou will be fine, just relax and get it done with.

I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago, when they numb your mouth they do something w/ the nerves and such, i couldn't feel the bottom right lower jaw from my back teeth to my chin for about 2-3 days, i got freaked out but my mom ( a doctor) told me it was alright... just don't panic and if you don't get feeling back in a few days, go to your doctor \nGOOD LUCK

How long it takes ... the average person spends 45 seconds according to the ADA and the time recommended is three minutes!!! Your wisdom teeth (third molars) are fine as long as.: \n1. They are not decayed \n2. They are not damaging other teeth \n3. Causing pain/disomfort/headaches/tmj problmes \n4. If you are young and they may crowd expensive past orthodontic work.\n5. Cysts are present\n6. Partial impaction in the bone, partial eruption into the mouth, this is a plaque trap and should be removed\n7. Periodontal disease in the area\nIf you do not have any of the above conditons and your dentilst is recommending having them removed. Ask them to explain the reasons, they may have valid concerns. In the end, they are your teeth.
