Hi guys
My dad recently had a tooth extracted and was told he couldn't rinse his mouth even with water, was bleeding a lot so had to keep spitting out the blood all the way home (sorry to be grim).
Does this sound right to anyone, I can't believe it myself, dentist didn't explain why and was quite arrogant.
Advice appreciated
thanks x
Rinsing after tooth extraction??
It's probably so he will form a clot. I think he can rinse, just have him do it gently. Also like the other person suggested use warm salt water--%26gt; 1/2 tsp. salt to 1 c. warm water.
Reply:thats sounds absurd, when i got my tooth extracted for braces y dentist just said do what you normally do rinse etc.
i'm pretty sure he can rinse with water but you could also try mouth wash
Reply:to stop the bleeding use a tea bag, i have used that several times from my dentist. And he always told me to rinse with salted water. Works well.
Reply:You're not to rinse briskly, a slow swish over the extraction hole with warm, salty water is best. He's also not to use a straw for the next several days (the pressure will remove the clot from the plugged hole) or eat anything hard.

Is my reaction to tooth extraction normal? & what happens with a bridge?
i had a tooth next to the front teeth removed yesterday as it got broken and was loose. it was very quick and i didnt feel it. but my gum and the teeth surrounding are saw. there also feels to be a 'bubble' in the gap, if you know what i mean. im a complete idiot %26amp; wuss and daren't look in the mirror. it doesnt hurt alot. but i wondered if this was normal and how long the sawness would last.
also, in about 4-6 weeks im going back to have a bridge fixed, but what does this actually entail?
Is my reaction to tooth extraction normal? %26amp; what happens with a bridge?
A bubble in the gap? Maybe just a blood clot? Whatever, it is not likely to be of concern
The wound will take more than 4-6 weeks to heal fully. It would be OK to get a *temporary* bridge at that stage, but a *permanent* replacement should be delayed for about 12 weeks. If you make a permanent bridge too soon before healing is complete, then a gap will later appear under the new bridge. Not very attractive.
Reply:The "bubble" sounds like a blood clot, try to aviod drinking anything hot, as this will encourage the clot to bleed and if you do feel any discomfort just take your normal pain killers, dont take Asprins as these thin the blood and will also encourage bleeding.
The sawness should ease within the next couple of days, washing out your mouth will a small glass of warm salty water will help keep your mouth clean and wash out any debris which may gather in the socket of the extracted tooth.
As for the Bridge, this procedure is pretty simple, the dentist will drill down the opposing teeth and take a mould of your upper/lower jaw, this is then sent away to a lab and returns about a week-2 weeks later when the dentist fits it.
It's not as bad as it sounds and you'll be fine, good luck!
Reply:It does take time for your mouth to heal and will feel "funny" Remember to gently rinse your mouth out after eating. A bridge is what it says 2 anchors either side of gap and a "tooth" in the middle.An impression will be taken of your mouth and this will be sent away ,made in to a model of your mouth with a type of plaster,then your bridge will be modelled on the plaster model of your mouth for a good fit.

Pain and process of a tooth extraction?
I know you get administered with local anesthesia, but I am still worried about getting a permanent tooth extracted (I'm only 15) and a baby tooth extracted, which doesn't have a permanent tooth under it and isn't loose. I'm not worried about the pain of the needle, but I'm scared about if loosening my permanent tooth and pulling it out will actually hurt even with it numb. I wasn't so scared at first but I asked my mom and she said that the numbing doesn't help.
Pain and process of a tooth extraction?
First off you need to ask your dentist any questions you might have. I had a molar extracted last year.I'll go over the process:first they will call you back to the room,second the dentist will come in with the numbing shot,next the dentist will inject you with the numbing cream after that you will have to wait about 5 minutes while the numbing medicine takes effect,after that the dentist will get these type of forceps and gently start to apply pressure then he/she will put more and more pressure until the tooth comes out but at the same time he will rock it back and forth.Then the dentist will do the same to the other tooth but I am not sure if he will have to give you two shots.After he has pulled out both teeth you will have to hold gauze on both places where the teeth where.After a while they will stop bleeding and you may be having some discomfort so you can take some Advil ibuprofen etc....
I hope all goes well!!!!
Reply:The numbing absolutely helps. I didn't feel a thing when I had a tooth extracted.
Are you sure you heard your mom right?
Reply:The local anaesthesia should be effective if the dentist is doing her job properly. You'll probably only feel some tugging. It'll be important that you discuss this with her before the procedure, she should help remove your fears!
Dentists have also been known to inject more anaesthesia during the procedure if needed, so if you feel pain be sure to shout out, but I don't think I need to tell you that!
What's more likely is that you'll have some discomfort afterwards, so painkillers will be needed then.
Reply:I have had a lot of teeth out, and if you have an injection it is really quick and easy and doesn't hurt. It is easier than having a filling.
Reply:The numbing helps! I have had 2 teeth pulled. It is not bad. It might be a little tender after, so take some Aleve or Tylno--sp? LOLl!
Reply:when i had mine token out, (i had to get 4 out, but my dentist only took 2 out at a time) i honestly didn't feel a thing. i didn't even know he pulled it out. you'll just feel some tugging and pulling and that's it. no pain.

After a tooth extraction when can i drink?
I have just had an infected tooth pulled out. When can I drink some water?
After a tooth extraction when can i drink?
You can drink right after the extraction, avoid drinking with a straw as resulting pressure tend to dislodge the clot which is necessary for healing.
Reply:You can drink water right away. Just stay away from using straws for a few days.
Reply:you can drink right away, i was eating chinese food and pizza about a our after i got 4 wisdom teeth pulled. I experienced no pain at all.

Anyone ever had complications after tooth extraction like damage & extraction of other teeth?
I had ma upper tooth extracted 3 weeks ago %26amp; now the one next to it is sensative %26amp; hurts when biting on %26amp; taping, dentist say this also might need to be extracted but its no abcess or anything so what kind of damage is it that it has be taken out, anyone?
Anyone ever had complications after tooth extraction like damage %26amp; extraction of other teeth?
The dentist can often leverage on that remaining tooth in the removal of another tooth. The will cause swelling of the ligament and pain to pressure . I would give the area a little time before you make another extraction appointment. (6 weeks minimum for the internal swelling to go down) The other thing that happens, is all of the biting pressure that used to be shared by two teeth is now all coming down on one tooth. This can piss off the tooth. Ask your dentist to check and adjust the bite on the remaining tooth to see if that calms down the ligament.
Good luck
Reply:Certainly damage can be done to an adjacent tooth while a tooth is being extracted. As the dentist is trying to loosen the tooth, he/she must try not to put pressure on the adjacent tooth. Also, any fillings on an adjacent tooth can be inadvertently loosened or broken .
You say this tooth is not abscessed or anything. Has there been any bone lost around the tooth? Gum disease and loss of bone support can result in the loss of a perfectly healthy tooth.

Upper front tooth extraction?
Where does the dentist give the shot at to numb the area when having an upper front tooth extracted?
Upper front tooth extraction?
It will probably be a palatal injection-the roof of your mouth. Maybe one above the tooth.

Bleeding after tooth extraction?
I had a wisdom tooth at the top right taken out yesterday morning, and by and large everything has been fine.
My only concern is that the gum is still bleeding, albeit very very little. If I spit into the sink, there's a tiny amount of blood there. I can't taste blood in my mouth, nor is any visible when I open wide and take a look.
How long does this kind of bleeding continue, and is there a point at which I should be worried?
Bleeding after tooth extraction?
Dont panic, this is fairly common after having an extraction, when your tooth is extracted a blood clot forms over the socket, if you drink anything hot it will disturb the clot and bleeding will occur, bear in mind that the blood will mix with your own saliva and this will make it look as though there is a lot more blood.
If this continues try placing a bit of wet kitchen towel over the socket, this will soak up any blood, dont use cotton wool as this will get stuck in the socket and can be messy and unpleasant.
If you have serious blood loss contact the dentist and he/she will check that everything is OK.

Is it ok? Tooth extraction?
After I had my tooth extracted and the tooth stopped bleeding..like four to five hours later. I gargled with hydrogen peroxide. I've been on antibiotics which have unfortunately given me a yeast infection that I cant do anything about because im not done with the medication..and Ive been gargling with mouth wash since. Was the hydrogen peroxide a good move? Should I have done that? when will this damn thing heal. I got it done Friday afternoon.
Is it ok? Tooth extraction?
first of all ring up your dentist for some advice, your not suposed to gargle with anything untill 24hrs after an extraction and your only supposed to use salt walter washes as far as i know.
Reply:gargling is fine..it should start feeling better very soon..And you can go to the store and get monastic3 for your yeast infection..
Reply:I don't think gargling with hydrogen peroxide is a good idea at all after an extraction!! The more you swish around in there, the more likely you are to disturb the blood clot which needs to be there in order for the hole to heal. Call your dentist ASAP for advice on that one.
Whatever you do- continue to take the antibiotics until they are gone. That is very important.
For the yeast infection, you can buy something OTC. Or call your regular dr and explain what's going on- maybe he/she will give you a rx for diflucan. It's a pill you take once to cure the yeast infection. You can try eating lots of yogurt and/or taking acidopholis pills but if you already have a full blown yeast infection, it probably won't work. (for future reference- I stock up on yogurt as soon as I know I'm going to be on antibiotics. I have a bottle of acidopholis pills in the fridge too. But those only work as a preventative measure)
Good luck- I hope everything is back to normal soon.

Root Canal or Tooth Extraction and Health. Does any doctor have an opinion regarding chronic health problems?
I had a root canal in 1998. Retreatment one month ago The infection was prfound. I thought I would feel better after the root canl. Ringing in my ears for over six months and thought that the root canal would help alleviate the problem. I also have had muscular pain in right arm (which is the side of the molar in question. The MD prior to the root canal thought I had fibromyalgia. When the infection was released I immediately felt better. However, I did get worse healthwise since the infection was outside the tooth.. I have had dizzy spells and some cognitive problems. There is so much on the internet regarding controversies in root canals and its impact on your overall health. I do not know whether to finish the root canal procedure or have my tooth pulled. The endodontist indicated that a resdiual infection can take as long as two years to rid itself from the body. I have read about the mercury problem in root canals. Are their any professionals who can offer opinions?
Root Canal or Tooth Extraction and Health. Does any doctor have an opinion regarding chronic health problems?
I strongly disagree with the coment above. No one can say weather a RCT was done the right way or the wrong way based on a narrative description.
How does the answerer even know a Root Canal was Done. Patients often misunderstand treatment even when it is spoken in their own native tongue.
I can't count the number of time a patient has said "I had a root canal last year. yet on the X-ray there is no evidence of an root canal ever being done. Patients misidentify Pulpal Therapy (pulpectomy) with Root Canals. they go to the dentist. The dentist is busy talking in dental tongue and he or she nods and goes home. They go in with pain, go home out of pain, " oh , yeah must have been a root canal."
that said. Even the best Root canals even fail, done by the best Specialist. You can't say so %26amp; so did wrong based on the patients impression.
As far as this question is concerned. If you have had it retreated and you are still having problems with it. then yes you need to seek additional consultation with an MD.
A few years ago, I had a patient presented with a tooth infection in the upper jaw. We did the RCT. pain went away then came back. He ended up in the hospital 1 month later on IV Antibiotics. The pulled the tooth and symptoms seemed to subside. I'm think Oh **** what did I miss. Anyway, later he went back to us in pain again. After a third look by a specialist, it turned out he has brain cancer and survived. So, You never know what is going on, especially here, in this forum.
Reply:I would definitely see your physician and perhaps a neurologist about the pain you're feeling. If a tooth infection has been present for a long time, it will usually spread in between the muscles in your jaw and down your neck via fascial planes because these are the paths or least resistance. There are several fascial layers surrounding areas near your spine as well, and if the infection has gotten in there, swelling may irritate or impinge on the cervical spinal nerves going to your arm.
As for mercury and root canals, I'm not sure what issues there are since mercury isn't used in most root canal procedures. Normally, the pulp is removed, the canal is shaped/cleaned with files, irrigated with bleach, and then filled with a sealer and rubber (gutta percha). The sealer is made from eugenol(an alchohol that's reponsible for that clove smell you find at a dentist office) and zinc oxide.
Reply:The reason you had to go through a retreatment was because the dentist who did the first one did not do it the right way. An RCT must be done to perfection to ensure the survival of the tooth. Did the ringing in the ears and the pain in right arm might be due to the infection (abscess, most likely) pressing a nerve. If these symptoms have been released after the retreatment, you have nothing to worry about. Trust your dentist, but also know exactly what he is doing. Mercury is not used in root canal filling, either silver or, more commonly, GP points (made of inert wax substance) are used. Residual infections may take a long time to heal, since they are enclosed in a bone. They should not have flare ups if the RCT is done right.

Stitch came out of wisdom tooth extraction?
I had my right wisdom tooth taken out on friday. it is now monday and i was brushing my teeth as directed and when i went to spit a stitch came out. There is a gap and a persistant odor coming from the site. I have swelling and little to no pain. Oh and there is no bleeding.Can this become dry socket? is it normal? what should i do besides contact my dentist?
Stitch came out of wisdom tooth extraction?
They will dissolve on their own however, 3 days is too soon to come out. Its unusual that it would come out- did you drink out of a straw or chew gum or taffy? The smell is bacteria and the start of an infection and yes it can become a dry socket. Call the surgeon and they'll get you right in to restitch the area. Good luck.

How long after tooth extraction can I have coffee?
this is actually my 4th extraction but every other time i didn't drink coffee. (previous was #15, #8, and #9 (7,8,9,10 is a bridge)
Yesterday at 9:45 am i had number 18 extracted. Healing is going well it seems to have clotted well with no signs of dry socket. minimal post extraction pain or swelling all of which have subsided at this point.
i am wondering if it would be okay to have a cup of coffee now. i don't drink it very hot, with cream and artificial sugar or if i should wait if so how long?
How long after tooth extraction can I have coffee?
Go ahead, just don't drink it through a straw and try not to drink extremely hot coffee. The big things are straws, smoking/tobacco, and carbonated beverages. Oh yeah, and no forceful spitting. Tea and coffee are okay.
Reply:i truly have no idea! you probably need to ask your dentist!
Reply:Drink the coffee, but forget the sweetener.....that stuff will kill you!
Reply:drink it with a straw and bypass the teeth
Reply:did you get percocet???
NO? that sucks. Only thing that makes it worth going to the dentist. next time tell him you are in severe pain and enjoy.
Reply:Should be okay. Just rinse mouth with water when you're done drinking the coffee. Enjoy.
Reply:It's ok to drink after 24 hrs. I just had my wisdoms pulled out this year and I dranked cocoa after 24 hrs. to the hr.after the extration was done. It's BETTER yet after 48 hrs.
Reply:I would wait at least another day. Dry sockets can happen three days after the extraction. I had that happen to me , and I didn't drink anything hot or didn't even smoke. Caffeine does cause the blood vessels to dilate.
Reply:I had it done this year and I used a piece of gauze when i drank coffee and took it out after I was done and then rinsed it with warm salt water and mine healed just fine
Reply:You can drink coffee as soon at the sedation has stopped working. Your nerves will indicate if the coffee it too hot or not. The Coffee itself doesn't infect. So there shouldn't be a problem. Best though is just to ask your dentist. He knows the complete details and only he can judge all effects. So asking the question here is dangerous. even my answer isn't 100% sure. There might be a special situation I don't know.
So again, ask your dentist. he knows.
Reply:You can drink the coffee, just not too hot and be careful of the extraction site. You should NOT drink with a straw. The reason being is that when you drink through a straw you create negative pressure within your mouth which has a possibilty of dislodging the clot from the extraction site, possibily leading to dry socket. If you get a little coffee in your site it's not going to kill you. There are far worse bacteria floating in around your mouth already.
Reply:YOu are fine to drink coffee just as long as it is not too hot and you are not drinking it out of a straw. Good luck!

The reason being is that when you drink through a straw you create negative pressure within your mouth which has a possibilty of dislodging the clot from the extraction site, possibily leading to dry socket. If you get a little coffee in your site it's not going to kill you. There are far worse bacteria floating in around your mouth already.
Reply:YOu are fine to drink coffee just as long as it is not too hot and you are not drinking it out of a straw. Good luck!

Bleeding with wisdom tooth extraction........help!!!?
I had my bottom wisdom tooth taken out today, at the dentist, and he said it didnt really need a stitch, but the bleeding has got worse, and over the socket it has formed a massive jelly like clot. Is this normal?? Also i have slight pain on swallowing. I cannot eat anything as my whole jaw has stiffened too. I didnt think it would be this bad after! x
Bleeding with wisdom tooth extraction........help!!!?
If there is a clot there try not to disturb it, this is the first part of the healing process and if the clot is dislodged not only can it start bleeding again but can increase your chances of developing a dry socket.
If you find it does bleed again roll up a clean handkerchief or damp towel and bite down for a full 20 min, dont take it out every few mins, you need to apply constant pressure for 20 min, if not stopped repeat this for another 20 min, if again after this second full 20min of constant pressure you find its still bleeding then you may have to go to a + e or contact your dentist depending on the time of day, avoid tissue as this will only stick to the clot.
your jaw will be stiff prob coz you were open fairly wide and for a longer period of time than normal, pin on swallowing is prob due to the wound in your mouth being so far back, i would recommend that you take Ibuprofen for the next few days, this is the best painkiller for dental pain and it is also an anti-inflammatory painkiller meaning it will help reduce inflammation and swelling, follow instructions on packet do not exceed the max daily dose, usually 6 x 200mg tabs also only take ibuprofen if you are not asthmatic and dont have any stomach problems.
last thing from the day after getting your tooth out use hot salty mouth was after every meal if possible to keep the area nice and clean
Reply:The clot is what blood does to form a plug to prevent further bleeding, DO NOT remove it. Yes it is not a minor thign to have a wisdom tooth out, and it can be very painful for several days. Just watch out for infection and gargle with salty warm water every so often.
Reply:Quite normal. As the previous respondent has said gargle with a mouth wash or salt solution. Two or three days you won't notice it.
Reply:That's normal. Give it a day or so and then start rinsing with salty water. Take some Ibuprofen to reduce the swelling and deal with the pain, and go to bed.
Reply:The clot means that the bleeding should be stopping by now, leave it alone. It's tempting to stick your tongue in there but please don't dislodge it. If you do, and it starts bleeding again, place a wad of tissue paper over the socket and bite down really hard. If it still continues to bleed heavily see an emergency dentist - your local A%26amp;E will refer you straight away.
Reply:gargle with some water with a little bit of salt in it, this will clean the wound. do not prod the gum at all.
if you have a bit of cotton wool roll it up till it is like a cigarette and put that onto you gum and press down gently using your finger...do not press too hard though.
Reply:Yeah thats normal, try not to poke at it with our tongue(although its your instict to!) Rinse it with warm salty water a few times a day. You'll be fine!
Reply:yes gargle with aspirin that will help with the pain and the swelling and if it is bleeding put a peace of rolled up paper towel onto the hole and bite hard on it for about 10mins this will then stop the bleeding do not drink very hot or very cold drinks as this will start the bleeding just drink slightly warm drinks

My boyfriend had a bad tooth extraction with a jaw bone fracture. Will it heal alright?
My boyfriend had his bottom 2 wisdom teeth pulled last week. The 1st tooth pulled easy %26amp; the 2nd 1 took an hr. The dentist (30 yrs exp) had to cut it since it was fused to the bone but wasn't rooted. The tooth was hard %26amp; 1 of the biggest the dentist has seen. During the cutting he slipped with the saw %26amp; cut into the gum along the other teeth. My bf felt horrible pain %26amp; then after getting it cut he accidently grabbed a nerve. A few hrs later my bf got up %26amp; ran into the bathroom %26amp; had about 7 mouthfuls of blood come out %26amp; it wouldn't stop. He called the dentist %26amp; he told him it was normal. The bleeding went on for 3 hours and his lips %26amp; face were white with extreme pain. He went in Mon. %26amp; the nurse checked it out %26amp; when she pulled his check back it opened more than it should. The swelling was down %26amp; my bf looked %26amp; noticed his jaw was split from the hole up along his other teeth 2" long %26amp; the bone would spread open. He has been having horrible pain when eating %26amp; tastes the bone marrow.

we cant say anything without extra oral and intra oral examination. Some wisdom tooth are difficult to remove. If u ve any doudt dont hesitate to consult with another dentist and seek the opinion. If there is any bone fracture u can confirm it from radiograph.

Wisdom tooth extraction question?
I had oral surgery to get a wisdom tooth out yesterday. At night I had a glass of milk but probably drank it too fast bc I got very strong pain afterwards, so I called my dentist, he told me it was probably the blood clot that got dislodged. Does anyone know what happens if the blood clot gets dislodged?
Wisdom tooth extraction question?
If it is a continuous, deep-seated, throbbing kind of pain, then you probably are suffering from dry socket due to loss of blood clot, exposing the the bony surface of your socket which is extremely sensitive. It is however, not associated with any infection. I suggest you go back to your dentist to have your socket cleaned and dressed (usually with alveogel). Meanwhile, maintain a good oral hygiene as well, this will accelerate the healing of your socket. =)
Reply:you bleed for a bit then another clot forms to fill the hole that the tooth came from.
Reply:Yeah I had all 4 of mine taken out about 2 years ago and let me tell you it was the worst pain everrr..... If the blood clot comes unlodged it will just form another blood clot so not to worry just make sure you have your stock of vicotin for the pain!
Reply:Normally it will cause some more bleeding and delay the healing process.
Suggest you eat some ice cream. In fact, as much as you like and move a bit to that section of your mouth where the extraction wound is located. The coldness will help blood clotting and healing.

Premolar tooth extraction?
How long should it take for a premolar extraction to completely heal ? And is it normal that if you suck on the healing-over gum where the socket is to get a tangy bitter taste ?
Premolar tooth extraction?
It will take about a month to feel a lot better, and about 3 months to be completely healed.
Do not suck over the socket as you will interfere with the healing process and you may dislodge a blood clot which is all part of the healing process.
After having an extraction you can have a range of weird tastes - that's normal. It could be the medicine the dentist has put in the keep it clean or sometimes they use disolvable gauze or solvable stitches.
Try not to mess with it! Contact your dentist if you begin to get any toothache in that area - apart from that be patient - it will heal and all weird tastes will go - i promise!
Reply:it takes about 1 month to be completely healed.
Reply:initial healing would occur around 2 days, this mean that there would be no more bleeding, a matrix has formed within the extraction site though there would still be wound, it would be less painful.
complete healing wherein a new layer of tissue has regenerated would take about 3 weeks or more depending on your body's capability to regenerate tissue.
i suggest you take vitamin C after you stop you pain medication, vit c promotes and speeds up wound healing.
Reply:about two weeks
Reply:Don't suck on the healing area! Your dentist may have placed a medication inside the socket where your tooth was extracted. Depending on the medication, you could get a bad taste.
For the first and second day, you want to focus on avoiding anything that creates a suction in your mouth, such as drinking from a straw, smoking, spitting hard and swishing. Any of these actions can dislodge the blood clot that protects the socket, much like a band aid. If the blood clot does get removed, you will have what is called a Dry socket. It is very painful to have one and you will need to see your dentist to have him treat it.
As far as the time for healing, it normally takes 3 weeks.
Reply:well when i got mine done it took about 3 days.

Infected Tooth Extraction?
Today I will be going to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. I have already been once and they told me that it was infected, and gave me some antibiotics. The day (at this time night) has finally come to where I need to get it pulled, but it still feels painful... I am a hypochondriac so I am terribly worried about this entire situation. The dentist I go to does not put you to sleep. They only use numbing meds.... Any advice as how I should calm down. Better yet... Anyone been through this???
Infected Tooth Extraction?
I've had three teeth infected at one time and two weeks ago I had 7 extracted. I had the sedation but it didnt do anything. I thought the numbing wouldnt be enough but it was. It lasted all day. They apply a topical anesthetic so you dont feel the injection. The injection takes a little while to work but once it does, you wont feel a thing. It's really not as bad as what I thought it was going to be. Since then, Ive been numbed twice for scaling and fillings. Everytime the numbing has lasted for at least 6 hours. Just make sure to follow the instructions after so you dont get dry socket.

Wisdom tooth extraction question...?
Ok, I went and got a wisdom tooth extracted this morning. I feel better but I am scared to eat anything!!! I am also scared about taking the gauze out. They told me that I would have to be careful as not to loosen the clot forming in the socket or I will be in pain. I am so scared that is going to happen. How do I start feeling more comfortable about it and quit worrying so much about it? And when should I be able to eat without worry?? Thanks!!
Wisdom tooth extraction question...?
i think they mean don't just rip the gauze out because it could be attached to the clotting. Try getting the gauze saturated with warm water and it should come out easier. I don't recall it sticking when I had all 4 of mine out. I had them pulled at 10:00 in the morning and was eating pizza at 5:00 for dinner. You'll figure out how to chew with just your front teeth easy enough. there really is no pain after because there is nothing there. It's your imagination. The sooner you take the gauze out the sooner you'll feel more comfortable. Right now it is the unknown that is scaring you.
Reply:Soup for a day. Don't use any straws and don't smoke. Both of these factors will definitely give you dry socket and it's your worse night mare.
Reply:you can eat as soon as the novacaine wears off. that way you wont bite up your cheeks or tongue because if you cant feel them thats what will happen. eating is fine after that just dont smoke or drink from a straw the suction of doing these things is what can cause dry socket thats all they were talking about. and dont spit either.
Reply:Make sure to take alot of the vicaden that they prescribed you. If they say take 1 every 4 hours then make sure to take 2. You can eat liquid foods, but be very careful. I would wait for atleast 4-5 hours before eating.
Reply:You generally only need to keep the gauze in for about two hours at most. Eat liquids and soft foods (but nothing too hot). You could have things like noodles, mashed potatoes, basically anything you can "chew" by mashing against the roof of your mouth with your tongue. At the office, they should have told you (or whoever brought you, if you weren't alone) what and when you could eat, and how long you could wait until you can eat normal things. If they forgot to tell you, call and ask. There should be someone there who can tell you, or someone who could call you back. I don't remember how long you have to wait before resuming your regular diet. In the meantime, take it easy in general.
Reply:you'll be fine!!!! You do need to change the guaze tho to prevent any infections from leaving the sa,e guaze in too long...follow the directions the dentist gave you in order for proper healing...no drinking thru straws, eat soft foods so no food will get stuck in the gap...swish your mouth after every meal and often!
And if you feel slightly discomforted...take a couple Ibuprofen.
You'll be fine...I promise!
Reply:Hi,
Just got mine pulled too(2 upper plus surgery)...how funny.
My Denist told me that i can eat everything just to make sure i flush with water after i eat to make sure nothing comes in my wound.
I ate soup,crackers,canned fruit and for dinner a reg. meal .
Just pay attention to chew up front and swallow it straight down and to take little bites.
Do you have pain or swelling?I don`t... i was scared cause everybody told me about that big pain and swelling.i only feel minor pain from my surgery.
wheneveryour wound heals(4till10 days) then everything should be back to normal.
Good luck!

Hole in mouth after wisdom tooth extraction?
So, I had my wisdom teeth removed last week and while I didn't die or anything during the procedure I have to say the aftermath was AWFUL!!! I have lots of allergies and the only med I could take was darvocet which is NOT a good pain killer for tooth pain BTW!!! Anyway, I just noticed I have a hole in the side of my mouth back where the tooth used to be. Not the socket where the tooth came out but the side of my mouth in my jaw next to where the tooth would be if that makes sense. What is going on???
Hole in mouth after wisdom tooth extraction?
wisdom tooth/3rd molar is one of the hardest tooth to take out, and it needs surgery, the tissue needs to be cut open for successful extraction (can vary on the case of the 3rd molar's position)
that hole must not be there, all of the holes including the socket where the tooth used to be must be stitched so that no infections will be acquired
consult your dentist about that matter. just be careful that no food particles or anything will get stuck in there
Reply:Hum, I'm not sure. Are you going to have a follow-up on it soon? When I got mine out I had to go back to the the stitches out. If this is the case for you, wait and tell your doctor then. If not, it sounds strange because there should only really be one hole where the tooth came out but maybe they had to cut a different hole too to get it out, was the tooth impacted? I don't think it's life threatening, if it hasn't healed in a few days call your doctor if you don't have a follow up appointment.
Reply:that's just where they cut a little bone out. in six months you won't even be able to tell it was there.
Reply:this reminds me of my mom
if your wisdom tooth was infected probobly it went 2 your sinesus!
go to the dentist's office he might know..
Reply:i have the same thing. its normal. that hole will fill up with tissue as it heals, and yeah it is on the side, not where the actual tooth socket is.

Complication of wisdom tooth extraction - paraesthesia?
I got my lower left wisdom tooth extarcted last week. Now I'm having complication of it - Paraesthesia of lower right lip and chin. It took how long to recover? Any methods or medication that can help?
Complication of wisdom tooth extraction - paraesthesia?
I assume what your asking is about loss of feeling in the chin and lip. I also had this on one half of my lip and it took about a month to go away. The doctor said he bruised the nerve when trying to get the tooth off around the nerve. I went back two or three times and let him prick my lip with a toothpick basicly. I guess the time to heal depends on how badly the nerve was damaged and the kind of damage. You should ask/tell your about it.
Reply:you could have damaged a nerve and your gum hasn't formed a proper blood clot area. you should see a dentist asap. it could be dry socket (alveolar osteitis), which can cause you to lose sensation in lower jaw or side of cheek, especially with lower wisdom tooth extraction.
Reply:consult that doctor( DENTIST)-- generally no problem
