They gave me ibuprofen when I had mine done. Didn't do much to lessen the pain, but did help the swelling a bit.
Two weeks later I had my wisdom teeth taken out at a different office. When I had trouble sleeping due to sharp pains in my jaw, the surgeon wrote me a scrip for Flexeril(muscle/skeletal anti-inflammatory and relaxant). I will never take Flexeril again in my life, had me messed up for days. Not in a fun way either, I just felt WRONG.
The sharp pains were apparently caused by some pretty large chunks of jagged bone and tooth that the surgeon left in my jaw.
Hurt like hell, but once they worked their way close to the surface of the gum, I ripped those bitches out with needle-nose pliers.
Only have a pic of the smallest bone fragment I pulled though:
If that is considered to be graphic content let me know, I'll take it down
