AJ...yeah it hurts like fook after but i've been taking Cuprofen (400mg of Ibuprofen) every three to four hours (says every 8 hours on pack but the pain's quite savage at first) A good tip is to rinse your mouth with Difflam Oral Rinse (about £8 from a chemist) as it numbs everything, especially when you get the ulcers and to rinse as much as you can with salt water.
If you get any smelly discharge or a horrible taste in your mouth then go to the dentist or the hospital immediately as it usually means you have an infection and will need antibiotics so it doesn't spread to the other teeth. I didn't go to hospital to get mine done, i had it done in a chair at the dentist whilst i was fully awake. Good luck matey!

Cossierich330...Been living on soup and yoghurt. made the mistake of trying to eat a Ferrero Roche just after the op but it hurt like hell as i couldn't chew it and the nuts got stuck in all the holes and caused an infection. I was awake the whole time as i said to AJ so when they had to drill my jaw to remove the other bit of tooth i was wide awake. Had nightmares about the feeling for a couples of days.
Luckily i coincided my teeth with two weeks holiday so have been watching lots of movies to keep me entertained. My dentist is a bloke and wasn't fit but i had Paul waiting for me so that was my good thing. He said he starting cringing in the waiting room cos everyone could hear the drill.
