How long after having 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled should I wait before getting a filling?
Question by Clarissa: How long after having 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled should I wait before getting a filling?
On top of the pain my wisdom teeth were causing me, one of my molars has a pretty nasty cavity. It’s not the molar next to where the wisdom teeth were, but the one in front of that one. I’d like to have it filled ASAP. Had my wisdom teeth pulled Wednesday.

wait a couple of weeks so at least the healing process is underway.

Couple of weeks.
Aleve works better for me than tylenol ibuprofen or aspirin or even vicodin for that kind of pain, too.
Clarissa, You would be better off waiting at least 3 weeks before doing any fillings. You will be much more comfortable and would not run the risk of disturbing fragile, early healing tissue and possibly getting an infection.
I would wait a few weeks.
