I’m wondering if it’s normal to still be having some moderate discomfort 48 hours following dental surgery. I had a upper molar, an eye tooth, and a front tooth extracted the afternoon of the 21st which required some suturing. I did make it to work yesterday but was in quite a bit of discomfort all day. Awoke this morning in a lot of pain and just didn’t feel up to going out and attempting some vehicle repairs until later this afternoon. Now, I just feel generally not well but the pain seems to be getting better. Have been taking medications as prescribed , soft food etc.
Being Thanksgiving day it’s a bit hard to reach the dentist over something that’s probably nothing. My partner who knows a lot about dentistry is surprised that I’m still feeling discomfort. Has anyone had a similar situation?
