It really doesn't make sense to automatically go straight to percocet for wisdom teeth being removed. I think you're making a leap when you say most cases require a certain painkiller - over-prescription of opioids is one of the issues of our current epidemic. The NHS suggests OTC Ibuprofen for pain management after wisdom teeth removal.

For real, filling a prescription with mouth pain is not such tragedy people are making it out to be.

Not to be a dick, but I find it very interesting that people expect to go through life without experiencing pain.
