Pain after dental work?!
Question: Pain after dental work.?
Went to dentist Monday to have 3 extractions, and they discovered that they had to cut out some infected tissue near the extraction site. It's very raw and sore, I can't even drink water or talk or smile without it hurting. What can I do.? PS - I've run out of pain pills - is there any OTC medicines that can kill the pain or a special mouthwash or something to numb it.?Health Question & Answer
