bone removal during wisdom tooth removal is usually the cause of sever pain. it will hurt for atleast 2 to 3 days. take ibuprofen and alternate it with paracetamol. this should work, do warm salty water rinses as well.
dont even think about smoking you will end up with even more pain than what you have..........hopefully you will be fine soon. I will pray for you.

24 hours at least for the smoke. It delays your healing alot which increases the chance it becomes infected. (very painful)... think of it this way, the less you smoke the quicker it heals, its not the actual smoke that does it but the nicotine gets into your blood stream and makes your body slow its healing.
It can hurt for a couple of days. you should take some pain killers like ibuprofen and paracetamol. Try placing an ice pack on the side you had it out.
If it becomes really bad(constant very bad throbbing ache, you can't sleep etc) you probably have dry socket in that case u need to go back to your dentist to get it cleaned and dressed with something that stops it from hurting.

The oral surgeon or dentist should have given you some written after-care instructions. Everyone's pain threshhold is different, so who knows how long it will hurt. I hope you kept your mouth closed tightly while packed with gauze so the blood clot could form. If not, that could cause some pain from a dry socket later. I would definitely talk with the dental office about smoking, because pulling on that cigarette can cause problems with the clot as well. Might just be a good time to work on cutting back on the cigs.

it will hurt for a couple days at the most, but you should have some medicine and drink lots of milkshakes through a straw for comfort
