Will A Delay In Wisdom Tooth Removal Cause Any Health Problems?
I am 32 year old male having wisdom tooth pain and am waiting for the oral surgeon to take them out. I have been taking 200mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day to manage pain for two weeks. I am getting nervous that it might start to affect my health taking it for so long as it maybe another week before the surgery happens. Should I be worried?

Thanks for using Health care Magic.
Read your query.
Wisdom tooth pain can be reduced with the usage of ibuprofen .If worried of overdosage you can take as and when you have pain. If there is no pain ,you can avoid it.
Do salt water gargling and keep the area clean. If possible with dentist you have the tooth extracted earlier than the given date.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
