Similar to any other surgery, you will experience some pain after osseous surgery. So, you will have to take some painkillers to manage the pain. You can have 400–600 mg of ibuprofen every 6–8 hours or as recommended by our dental team. Ibuprofen can help with pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication too. If you cannot take ibuprofen, 1–2 tablets of daily Tylenol  should be taken every 4 hours or as recommended by our dental team. If required, Dr. Adatrow can prescribe a more potent painkiller like Vicodin and an antibiotic to control infection. Please contact us if you are having severe pain even after taking a painkiller or if you any other problems after the surgery.
