Is The Pill With WATSON 853 Printed On It A Form Of Hydrocodine?

I was given a prescription from my dentist this evening after having 5 teeth pulled from lower side. I am in the process of the beginnings of having dentures. The pill is white, oblong, and is stamped with WATSON 853. Is this a form of hydrocodine? I have always received pain meds from my dentist that are white, oblong, but have red speckles. Can't find WATSON 853 on Google search. Can you inform me of this med? Thank you for very much.
