Hey, I had my wisdom teeth removed today, and the pain (normal pain, not dry socket) is worse on the right side of my mouth than on the left. Is this normal?

It depends. Maybe the position of the wisdom tooth on the right side was in a more difficult angle for the oral surgeon to get to. Was your wisdom tooth one the right side impacted if so that could be the main reason. Two extra strength Tylenol or better yet Advil should do the trick if it doesn't then you should call the oral surgeon's office and have them prescribe some Vicodin or Tylenol 3 which has coedine in it that should help with the pain. As for tonight keep your head elevated with 2 or more pillows, don't smoke if you do, don't spit and put ice or frozen veggies on your extraction sites in 15 minute intervals that should keep you comfy till morning. Good luck.

My husband and two friends had impacted wisdom teeth removed and the pain was on all four, I don't think it was different on one than the others. Didn't you get pain pills? Your dentist should have given you something strong eg. Oxycodone or Demerol or Tylenol 3 or 4 with codeine at least.

Yes, I had my two lower wisdom teeth removed. You should expect anywhere from 7 to 10 days of pain.

It might have been slightly more difficult on the other side. Its no fun having wisdom teeth out, I've has two extracted. Try taking ibuprofen, ( not aspirin ) for the pain.

Sure. Maybe it was in a worse position and required more surgery...
