What Happened

I Got 4 Impacted Wisdom Teeth Out and I'm Still in Pain!

What Happened?

I got 4 impacted wisdom teeth out last Tuesday and I've been in pain and discomfort ever since. I had an appointment for Tuesday to get them out, but I had to cancel because I had a work obligation. I rescheduled the appointment for Wednesday, but the pain was so bad on Tuesday that I couldn't wait. I went to the emergency room and they removed the teeth.

What's Going On Now?

I'm still in pain and discomfort, but it's not as bad as it was on Tuesday. I'm taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen to manage the pain. I'm also using a cold compress to reduce the swelling.

What Can I Do?

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm going to continue taking pain medication and using a cold compress. I'll also try to get some rest. If the pain doesn't improve, I'll call my dentist.
