Pain duration
The sensation of pain varies from person to person. Sensitive patients feel every small change in the gums, others can block out the pain and do not notice that the condition of the gums is worsening. In principle, the pain lasts until the healing process is complete.
Of course, the pain level is not always at the same level. As soon as an improvement is noticeable, the pain should also go down again. The greatest pain probably occurs after an operation in which the gums are opened up so that the teeth and roots can be completely cleaned at once.
As soon as the anaesthetics wear off, the cuts and sutures will hurt. After the operation, it is recommended to take painkillers.
