How Can Severe Pain After A Dental Surgery Be Treated?
I just had the first stage of dental implants didn't know there was more than one stage and in my case my
good dentist who is a good friend and person had to cut back my upper gums to expose the upper jaw bone
I wondered about that and when i went in I told them I wanted them to give me all the pain meds and nitrous
they could legaly cause i have been told it would be painless, and i said basically i wanted the full Monty!
He said it wouldn't be painful and he went about doing his think in a lawful and highly professional manner
And he was correct! I felt absolutely no pain ! best trip I've ever had at the dentist and i have had dentist that
were literally sadists! now i've been prescribed Amoxicillin(Good!) Hydrocodone - Acetaminafin. I'm having pain now which the dental assistant said i would but i have taken a pill that i thought i remembered as a pain
medicine but when i googled it they said it was a muscle relaxer! oh well that"s the story of my life! I,m very
relaxed of course but my mind and motor skills appear to be farily normal. I still have the pain from my surgery so my question is should I take the pain med now or not, sorry to drag this out and i know you have many eggs to fry so for that i am sorry. I am 66 in good health just had my check up and every good and normal have a good day and i be talking to you soon! Thanks in advance, Mike Reed in Clayton NC

Hello,
Well, some amount of pain after implant placement or any dental surgical procedure is commonly seen. It is due to tissue trauma and inflammation caused due to the surgical procedure causing pain, swelling and soreness.
The medicine that you are taking that is Amoxicillin and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen combination, it is fine and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen combination is a painkiller and will help in relieving pain.
So, my suggestion is to continue taking this medication and it will help in reducing pain. If the pain continues to worsen, then you should consult an Oral Surgeon and Implantologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
As per your query, you have pain after dental surgery this is normal and take time to heal as operated area has not heal properly as of now. I would suggest you to visit dentist once and get pressure relieved as sometimes pain is due to that only.
Till then, take antibiotics such as Ibuprofen drug to prevent infection to further spread in oral cavity.
Take proper course of painkiller as well, drink plenty of water, and take soft diet. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity by brushing and flossing very gently.
