I've just had my wisdom teeth removed. What is the recovery process like?

The first few days after surgery will be very painful and uncomfortable, as your body adjusts to the new situation. You may feel some swelling and soreness around the surgical site, as well as difficulty eating or drinking. To help with pain management, take over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. It's also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. After a few days, you should start feeling better and begin to heal. Make sure to follow all post-surgery instructions given by your doctor.
