Ah removal of the wise toothies eh? LOL. Been there had it done several years ago( ie about 28 years ago) and while it was no picnic, I survived it. Naturally you are under local anesthetic so feeling no pain while wisdoms are being pulled but when it wears off you will want pain killers for at least a week. Depends I guess on your personal level of pain tolerance. The annoying thing I found with this procedure was the bone chips I would find months later embedded in my gums. All my wisdoms were impacted so they broke them all in my mouth instead of removing one at a time.WHY I will never know but hence the bone chips surfacing thru the gums months later. When you come out of recovery you will feel like you are a chipmunk storing nuts for the winter in your cheeks but about 2 weeks later you should feel a whole lot better. Braces, yes you can still get them but make sure you do not do this immediately.Give it some healing time as your gums are going to be tender for awhile and you dont need further aggrevation from the braces being installed and tightened!! Good Luck

Sounds like you are a exception to the rule. My daughter had all four out Monday and went back to work today.So 2 days. They did give her something for pain for the first day and also had her rinse with peroxide after the first day.She also used warm salt water. I think you better check back with them because you should not still be having trouble. Good luck.

Just over a week,
My sister and I had them done at the same time and everytime either one of us would wake up we'd see the other with a big swollen face and laugh. It would hurt so much, but we kept doing it. Then we'd wake the other one up and she'd laugh, too.
Drinking lots of cold water seemed to keep the oral discomfort down, but the swelling and bruising was the worst part of it.

Cool foods and drinks are best now. i hope that you are not smoking or drinking through a straw. If in a day to two it still has a shooting or throbbing pain, you need to call back. If you get a funny sour taste in your mouth that is a sign of dry socket too. GOOD LUCK

I had complications after my surgery also. I got dry socket and it took like 2 weeks for me to feel normal. I got such bad headaches from it. It depends on the person. She neds to give you some good pain killers!

On average, it takes 3 or 4 weeks before you feel like nothing was ever done. It sounds like you might take longer... 6 weeks??? It's as good a guess as any, considering I never saw you.
