Oral pain medication can be taken after tooth extraction. If the patient is in great pain after tooth extraction and it is unbearable, pain medication can be taken. In general, whether or not to take pain medication depends on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s sensitivity to pain. If the tooth extraction procedure is very quick, there is no other damage and the patient does not feel any obvious sensation after the procedure, only slight pain, so that oral pain medication can be dispensed with. However, if the extraction procedure is longer and more traumatic, and the patient has obvious pain after the procedure and the pain is unbearable, oral pain medication can be taken in this case. Commonly used pain medications in dentistry include loxoprofen sodium, ibuprofen, fenpropathrin, etoricoxib tablets, etc., all of which have very good pain-relieving effects.
