Question:
Answers:
You will be in a lot of pain of you don't take your painkillers.
Take them as soon as you get them, which must be after your surgery. Continue taking them on the scheduled basis.
Ice your face at home to reduce swelling.
Don't eat corn.
Excruciating pain. You won't be able to drive afterwards. You won't be able to eat for at least a few days. Only broths and ice cream. You will barely be able to talk, put you could probably go to class and listen. If you can take your mind of the pain. Oh ya, also you will be on pain killers for a week, not Advil either, the prescription kind, that makes you dingy.
My advice to you.......plan on missing a few days of classes. Good luck!!
Good news first: if you are going to have impacted teeth removed, you will have no pain during the procedure. They will give you something like "versaid" or another drug to keep your comfortable. They will also give you pain meds for when you get home. The bad news (I was in college when I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled) is that there will be some swelling that will last a few days. I was able to return to college and to work, but I know I looked a little "chipmunky" for a few days. Go with it, you won't offend anyone and people are pretty cool when they know that you have had dental procedures done! Good luck - I hope you have as good an oral surgeon as I had.
