How do I control mouth pain after getting teeth pulled?

Answer 1

alternating 600mgs of ibuprohen and 2 hours later a couple of extra strength tylenol works well for people who can take these drugs without problems

Answer 2

As drinking liquids with a straw involves sucking, this suction can actually draw out blood or loosen your stitches. So it's definitely good to avoid the straw for a bit longer, and sip those drinks. :) I had all four fully impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed when I was 18, and I was still feeling pain after a week. However, if your pain is extreme and the swelling isn't going down at all, I'd definitely stop back into your dentist's office for a visit. Hope you feel better soon!

Answer 3

Well, having had had braces twice, and having 2 teeth pulled, I have to say Aleeve works better than any other pain reliever, also avoid warm foods (tempature wise) and if it's just your gums that are sore, enjoy a bowl of ice cream or a popsicle

Answer 4

drink an analgesic (a pain reliever) after the extraction and then every 6-8 hours after until the pain subsides.

I'm in the dental profession.
