How long should I expect the pain from a pulled wisdom tooth to last?


I had one of my bottom wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. I had my top two pulled before and the pain went away quickly and there was no need for painkillers. However, this still hurts and the dentist even prescribed a painkiller for it. Someone told me that the bottom ones are harder to remove and more painful then the top ones, and this did seem true when he pulled it. I just want to know when I can expect it to stop hurting so much?

Also, how can I tell if I have dry socket? I know it hurts a lot, but currently, my tooth hurts a lot. Any other ways to tell?

I also cannot open my mouth fully, which I read on numerous sites, that can happen. About how long will that last?

I am not sure if this goes along with the wisdom tooth or not, but I am also losing my voice. Could this be from the tooth extraction? I had a minor sore throat before, but it went away after the tooth was pulled, but it still could be from that I guess.

Im really scared. Dentist help out?



Answers:
1 week pain, that is, unless they hit an artery like when I had mine taken out. Then it will be 2 months pain and $8000 in repair costs to the artery.
