Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Oral surgical procedure can cause inflammation of the soft tissues and it can lead to severe pain especially in the initial 3-4 days which gradually subsides..

Tylenol can help in reducing mild to moderate pain but if pain is severe higher painkillers can be helpful in reducing pain..

Toradol contains active ingredient Ketorolac and is suitable in reducing pain of severe nature, however you can also take Narcotic painkillers like Tramadol to relieve pain..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
