This study is looking at why some people need opioid pain medicine after having their wisdom teeth removed, even when they take ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a common pain reliever (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID) often recommended first for dental pain. Researchers want to find out what factors lead to needing extra pain relief, like opioids, after this surgery. The goal is to help doctors prescribe fewer unnecessary opioids, which can contribute to addiction. You might be able to join if you are an adult, at least 18 years old, and need to have at least one impacted wisdom tooth removed. The study will measure how much opioid pain medicine you use for up to 7 days after your surgery. The current status of this observational study is unclear, and it plans to include about 200 participants.
