Hunger Pain After Having Wisdom Teeth Pulled Out. Reason?
I recently had 4 teeth pulled without any problems. About a hour and a half after I started getting really bad hunger pains, they fell intense, slight burning feeling, and I eat something it only just seems to calm it down but never goes away. This has only started since I had my teeth pulled. Is there any connection that would explain this?
Hello dear
There is although no direct connection between your hunger and wisdom tooth removal. But consuming antibiotics can increse your hunger .so after removal of wisdom teeth you must have been put on antibiotics and painkillers ,these can definately increase your hunger.so nothing to worry about, relax and keep your oral hygiene maintained .

As you mentioned you had four wisdom tooth pulled without any complications, i would advise you to follow the post operative instructions given by the Dentist properly to prevent any further conplications and promote faster wound healing.
Stomach upset can be due to the antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to you.
I would suggest you to take an antacid like tab Rabeprozole 20 mg twice daily half hour before meal for five days.
If the antibiotics are causing discomfort, you can visit to the concerned Dentist and get it changed.
Hello and welcome to hcm forum,
The pain one and half hours later tooth extraction is due to-
lOCAL ANAesthetic reaction has completed ,which results in feeling of pain at the site of extraction.
Take antibiotics-analgesics after consulting with your dentist.
Avoid anxiety,stress.
Intake of hot,spicy foods has to be limited.
Take plenty of water,fluids etc.
Apply frequent cold packs.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Hope this helps.
Hello, have u been asked to take pain killers after getting the wisdom teeth removed? if so, then this could be indicative of acute gastritis caused by the pain killers (which is a common side effect). Consult your doctor again for this problem, or consult a physician to examine you and rule out other causes which may cause the same symptoms and also for treatment of the same.
Take care
