Hi Stacy, Welcome to the pain boards. Vicodin is considered to be stronger than tramadol, although tramadol might be the more effective pain killer dose to dose, I'm not sure.
1. Warm Salt Water. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get rid of wisdom tooth pain. Take hot water and dissolve a few tablespoons of salt in it. When the salt water has cooled to a warm temperature, rinse your mouth with it for a few minutes and you will find noticeable relief.
Where lower wisdom teeth were removed there will be a void until new bone fills in the area. It is important not to disturb the extraction site the first five days after surgery. Begining on day six the area should be kept clean after eating using the irrigation syringe and tap water.
