Reply #13: Dull ache [View All]

not stabbing pain, for about a week or so. They had me pack the gaps with gauze for about a week or so, to keep out food, etc. and I don't recall doing that resulting in pain. I was given scrips for pain and I believe an antibiotic as well. I don't recall using the Tylenol-3 much, though.

I had it done in two goes, the worst off (both on the left) were removed first, then after about 6 months, the other two were removed. This gap in time was recommended by the oral surgeon because I was planning a move to California, which happened between the 2 procedures. This was done in 1993. No complications. And my other teeth haven't loosened (as far as I can tell, anyway!)
