I was just wondering, for those who have had the pleasure of getting their wisdom teeth taken out, what is there to be expected? I gather pain for a couple of days, right? Anyone have any comments or suggestions? Any response would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

I did a few years ago. Went to mom's so she could take care of me- fluffed my pillows, brought me water and dispensed the percodan....relatively pain-free.
when you have had the tooth out leave it for a while so it forms a clot. after a day start using salt water mouth mouth washes to try to prevent infection. if it starts getting really painful you may need need antibiotics and sometimes if the extraction is difficult they will give you a course of antibiotics anyway. goodluck, just remember keep it clean but let it form a clot first
Thanks Roxanne! I hope you are well... Hmmmmm, interesting concept..yes, i will volunteer my mom's services! That would be splendid! No, i can't do that, but i think she might be around to help out a little bit, other than that, i have roommates!
Haha! Thanks Paul! I do already have some painkillers that knock the crap out of me...not Percacet, but it works! Tell me again...where is the island located?
Thanks Deb! I'm getting all four out, yay! I have been on antibiotics for about two weeks already because the gums had gotten very swollen around the two bottom wisdom teeth, the swelling has gone down dramatically, but the dentist told me that they will be problematic until i get them out, so Friday's the day! Thank you for your imput.
Thanks Lene..they better do it right! I already have some pain pills, so, that's covered. I will definitely make sure to keep the area very clean though...and rinse with salt water as well.
