Owie! I hope your gums are feeling better soon. I had my upper wisdom teeth removed back in '99, and my PCP told me beforehand that using arnica montana gel would help keep bruising to a minimum (I tend to bruise easily), and might also alleviate some of the pain and swelling. I used it right after surgery - I just rubbed a bit on my cheeks every once in a while - and I think it did help. You might want to check it out as an alternative, since you don't want to take more Vicodin. Of course, you'd want to double check with your doctor or the dentist/oral surgeon who worked on you first. Until you get better, I guess you have a good excuse to eat lots of ice cream! ;-)
