Good day everyone!wave

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?grin
Any response would be very much appreciated! Thanks.thumbs up

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.

Take carepeace

i used to be a dental nurse.

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

If they do it right and there are no complications then it isn't alol that bad. They'll give you some pain pills for the first few days.

Just make sure you keep the area clean. Usually they tell you to rinse with salt water.

Thanks Deb!
I'm getting all four out, yay!yay laugh
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.wink grin

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.grin
