I had impacted (the aforementioned submerged and inward-facing) wisdom teeth- one of which had fractured from the pressure.
Went from fine one day with the caveat that one day I'd need oral surgery to have them removed, to burning with a fever while finding an oral surgeon ASAP.
Needed invasive oral surgery. Had to be put under twice-once before operation, and once when bringing me out after, as I had a paradoxical reaction and was thrashing about. Me screaming I didn't know the surgeon and anesthesiologist and thrashing about isn't super good after oral surgery.
Hurt like the dickens afterwards and had to eat soup for a good while.
They gave me ibuprofen and tylenol with codeine afterwards. I only used the ibuprofen and was fine. It only blunted the pain but was definitely manageable after the first day or so.
I've had doctors try and prescribe narcotics for some weird things. I've always denied them as I had a friend who became addicted to heroin after being prescribed oxys for serious 3rd degree burns.
Every time I have to deny narcotics multiple times before they relent and offer something non-narcotic.
Anyways just one person's experience.
