There will be some normal swelling after wisdom tooth extraction. Some bleeding may occur after the surgery, so be careful not to leave it in your mouth, clean the area with mouthwash prescribed by your dentist, and avoid manipulating the sutures and detached area.
The exact magnitude of pain after wisdom tooth extraction can only be estimated, but it can be predicted depending on two primary factors:
People’s pain tolerance threshold: Depending on the physiology of different people, the amount of pain tolerance varies from person to person. For example, there are people who do not use even simple painkillers after surgery and think that they have little pain and do not need to take painkillers, while some have a very low pain tolerance threshold and they cannot tolerate pain, not even a simple headache.
If you belong to this group, ask your dentist to prescribe a suitable analgesic for you to use in the first hours after wisdom tooth extraction to reduce pain and inflammation in the area to control it before the pain reaches its peak.
Scope of surgery: The types of surgery and wisdom tooth extraction differ from each other, and certainly the greater the scope of the operation, the greater the pain and inflammation experienced by the patient, which the doctor can control by prescribing appropriate analgesics.
