AB Post-extraction  pain,  or  periosteitis,  begins  as  the  local  anesthetic  agent  wears  off.  The  pain  begins  to  diminish,  most  of  the  time,  within  12  hours.  The  prescription  of  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  will  provide  analgesia  and  comfort  while  the  pain  subsides  over  1  to  2  days.  Narcotic  analgesics  may  occasionally  be  required  for  the  first  24  to  48  hours.
