I got my wisdom teeth pulled and it has been 4 days and im HURTING in my neck eye ear this normal?

i had my wisdom teeth out 4 days ago too weird, but mine hurt really bad like that like uncontrollable pain, when you think about the pain does it hurt actually where the teeth were removed? it will hurt in the jaw due to stiffness but if it actually hurts bad at the extraction point it could be dry socket i went in today and got treated for dry socket i feel sooo much better if its not dry socket it could be an infection i dont think the pain like that is normal contact your doc he can help.

trust me.

I refuse to have any dentist touch my wisdom teeth, they are there for a reason. So that when I am toothless, I will still have 4 more LOL

In any case, that is just an opinion. It sounds like you probably have a swollen wound most likely. Vicodin will help you keep the pain off but it will not help with the swell. It is swollen because somehow it has gotten some bacteria or got exposed. The dentist will usually put something to lower the swelling and then most likely some penicillin or similar medicine.

If it is very bad and you have insurance, you might want to visit the hospital to see if they can inject you for the swelling or bacteria.

Good Luck!

I had my wisdom teeth taken out all at once, but I decided to get put under for it. Being somewhat of a weenie when it comes to getting my teeth touched, I really didn't want to chance it. It's your own decision which way to go, but if your dentist gives you local anesthesia and laughing gas, you won't feel any pain. You will, however feel pressure and hear the noises. Now the laughing gas will make it all feel like it's happening in a haze - as if everything is only happening on the periphery of your conscience. Imagine a sensation you should be feeling with your whole body, but you're really just feeling it at the outer tips of your fingers. It's the best comparison I have. If you want to block out the noises, I'd recommend a couple of good tunes on your mp3 player and a set of noise-reducing ear phones. I had a root planing done with laughing gas - it's a pretty nasty procedure. The laughing gas helped to make it perfectly bearable. It didn't really bother me at all. One thing I'd talk to your dentist about however: Usually, you're not supposed to get local anesthesia for all four teeth at the same time. The shots for your lower jaw will also numb your tongue, so dentists usually do one side at a time to avoid the danger of you biting your tongue or accidentally choking on it. Make sure you discuss your options with him. There are plenty of dental clinics that will be able to do the procedure by putting you under and pulling the teeth while you sleep. I've had it done that way and went home afterwards just two hours after I woke up. Your dentist may not recommend this simply because he isn't equipped to do the procedure like this and doesn't want to lose you as a patient.

I got my wisdom teeth (all 4 pulled) pulled as well. Its been day 5 for me. I had no significant pain, but from what you are saying it might be a dry socket. I read that clove oil (or the active ingredient eugenol) really brings temporary relief for the pain. Clove oil is also placed in the dressings that the dentist would place in your sockets (if you have dry sockets). I bought a bottle of clove oil from GNC as my nearest walgreens did not have any in stock. If you can't get in touch with your dentist, then maybe you can try 50% clove oil (mixed with olive oil) and put 2 drops into the socket thats causing the problem for temporary relief. Also remember 1 tsp of salt for 1 cup of warm water to gently rinse the sockets with. I find that by day 3 I had this really horrible odor and gentle salt water rinses helped to take the smell away. I really hope you feel better soon. Hang in there!

Hey - My wisdom teeth are coming in right now (Not having them pulled) and I know what you are feeling. I have a constant ear ache / head ache / jaw ache and my lymph nodes are so swollen that they are visible! This all goes along with having the teeth, reguardless of if they are removed or not. Tooth pain CAUSES the ear ache- etc. Right now just work through the pain. I also have vicodin but I have been taking ibuprofen and it has worked so much better. Instead of taking 10mg of vicodin 4x a day I take 600mg of ibuprofen 4 or 5x a day. It takes the swelling down, which will relieve the ear ache. Hope I helped! Don't worry so much and give your doc a call if it gets bad.

I feel your pain!!!!I had my wisdom teeth pulled out 9 years years ago,and it sucks!!!

But like the others have said,it sounds like you might have an infection.If I were you,I wouldn't try to diagnose myself.I'd call the oral surgeon and have him/her take a look.If you can't get in to see him right away,try finding a place that can take walk-ins,like Sears DentalWorks.I know the DentalWorks near me takes walk-ins,even on Sundays.Even if you have to pay,it's a heck of a lot better than being in pain .If the pain is horrifying,then try going to the ER.A regular doctor MIGHT be able to give you some penicillin or other antbiotic to hold you over until you can get to a dentist.

I hope you get to feeling better soon :)

It sounds like you may have an infection, or dry socket. Both require medical intervention, dry socket is the most common problem, here is some info

Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a dental condition that occurs when the blood clot at the site of a tooth extraction is dislodged, exposing underlying bone and nerves and causing increasing pain. It's the most common complication following tooth extractions, such as the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. But with proper postoperative dental care and avoidance of risk factors, dry socket often can be prevented. When it does occur, treatment usually provides immediate relief.

Dry socket is a condition that sometimes occurs after a tooth extraction. It has several tell-tale signs and symptoms, including:

• Partial or total loss of the blood clot at the extraction site, which you may notice as an empty-looking (dry) socket

• Visible bone in the socket

• Pain that increases between one and three days after tooth extraction and that typically becomes severe and unrelenting

• Pain that radiates from the socket to your ear or eye on the same side of your face

• Bad breath or a foul odor coming from your mouth

• Unpleasant taste in your mouth

• Swollen lymph nodes around your jaw or neck

When you've had a tooth extracted, any discomfort you experience normally gets better with each passing day. If you develop new or worsening pain in the days after your tooth extraction, don't try to tough it out. Contact your dentist or oral surgeon right away so that you can get properly assessed and treated.

Treatment of dry socket is mainly geared toward reducing its symptoms, particularly pain. Treatment includes:

* Medicated dressings. This is the main way to treat dry socket. Your dentist or oral surgeon generally packs the socket with medicated dressings. You may need to have the dressings changed several times in the following days. The severity of your pain and other symptoms determines how often you need to return for dressing changes or other treatment.

* Flushing out the socket. Your dentist or oral surgeon will flush the socket to remove any food particles or other debris that has collected in the socket and that contributes to pain or infection.

* Pain medication. Talk to your doctor about which pain medications are best for your situation. If over-the-counter pain relievers aren't effective, you may need a stronger prescription pain medication.

* Self-care. You may be instructed how to flush your socket at home to promote healing and eliminate debris. To do this, you'll be given a plastic syringe with a curved tip to squirt water, salt water, mouthwash or a prescription rinse into the socket. You may need to continue to do this daily for three or four weeks.

Once treatment is started, you may begin to feel some relief in just a few hours. Pain and other symptoms should continue to improve over the next few days. Complete healing typically goes smoothly and generally takes about 10 to 14 days.

I haven't had my wisdom teeth pulled yet but I talked to the surgeon and he told me about nerve damage. They showed me a nerve that runs right under the teeth (over for top teeth), I'm not a doctor but ask your doctor about nerve damage because I really can't help you like a doctor can.

I had two children remove four. The first one still felt sick on the 3rd day, so i took her back to the oral surgeon and she had an infection. The second one was still in a lot of pain, but very noticeably better on the 3rd day. I think it's time for you to go to your surgeon.

Good luck. (And my first child survived it, and so will you, so try not to worry, but yes, go to get checked for sure.)

If your in so much pain maybe you should go to the hospital. I honestly don't think it's normal to be in that much pain.

Sorry hope you feel better.
