Right Upper Wisdom Tooth Pulled, Had Little Nitro Gas, Have Hiccups Off And On All Day. Does This Have Something To Do With The Gas They Gave Me Temp. Or Is It Something To Do With The Surgery?

I had my right upper wisdom tooth pulled yesterday and had a little nitro gas before they gave me the novacaine. Every since I had wisdom tooth pulled, I have had hiccups off and on all day yesterday and just got up this morning and they have started up. Does this have something to do with the gas they gave me temp. or is it something to do with the surgery?

Hello and welcome to hcm,
The hiccups off and on may be due to the nitro gas administered during the extraction procedure.
Usually wisdom tooth extraction is a complicated procedure.
So I advice you to take rest for 3-4 days.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Take plenty of fluids and water.
Nutritious food has to be taken in.
Vitamin becosules,c,iron and folic acid supplements has to be administered.
Take complete course of anti-gastric as well as antibiotics prescribed by your dentist.
Hope you get well soon.
Take care.
