“What helps pain after oral surgery?”

Pain and/or discomfort following oral surgery can be dependent upon several factors. There are a significant number of procedures performed by dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons that fall under the category of oral surgery, each with different levels of pain and/or discomfort. Patients react and respond to pain and/or discomfort differently. Some patients have a very high pain threshold and rarely taken any pain medications, whether over the counter or prescription, while some patients ask for the strongest pain medication for some of the most minor procedures.



Your dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is performing the surgery for you would be the best person to advise you with options for managing your pain and/or discomfort following your surgery.
