Getting All My Wisdom Teeth Removed! | Surgery Recovery Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лис 2019
- Alrighty y'all, here's a less glamorous video of me getting my wisdom teeth extracted (sorta nervous to post this lol)! I got all 4 out, 3 of which were very impacted. My surgery involved me getting sedated through anesthesia emitted through an IV so I don't remember a thing. I was terrified before the surgery, so felt it would be helpful to film the process. It took me around 4 days to recover and go back to work. I still am experiencing some pain since the gaps in the back of my mouth are still healing (can take around 1 month), but I'm pretty much back to my normal routine.
Some essentials:
- Ice Pack (similar to the one my Dr. gave me): amzn.to/3Ode87V
- Liquid foods (soups, smoothies, mashed potatoes, etc.)
- Gauze & mouthwash (received from Dr.)
- Lots of Netflix!

Tips:
1) Have extra gauze and some tea bags (tannic acid in tea helps form blood clots) for after surgery.
2) Rest your head elevated the first night.
3) Start brushing your teeth again on day two and remove as much blood stain from your teeth. Use the mouthwash as directed on the bottle.
4) Eat room-temperature soup and mashed potatoes the first 2-4 days. On day 3 if you feel comfortable opening and closing your mouth start chewing smaller pieces of soft-to-solid food with your front teeth.
5) Avoid touching the areas of teeth extraction with your tongue.
6) Don't freak out if your stitches come loose or undone after the 2nd day.
7) Use an ice pack on and off every 15 minutes for the 1st day. On 2nd day start doing some mouth opening/closing exercises by placing two warmed wet towels on either side of your cheeks.
8) Drink your antibiotics as directed and keep yourself well hydrated.
Pretty sure I have others, but that's all I can think of for right now. Currently, 4 days post op and pain has gone immensely, if not fully. Hopefully, I won't experience any dry socket going forward.
Just took a screen shot of this thanks!!!
@@miesha.b8740 your welcome
tysm bestie!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Did the painkiller help u most
I just got mine out, and I'm more annoyed and irritated than in pain LOL. 1) I can't eat any delicious solid foods and I'm a huge foodie 2) the extraction site feels more like an annoying type of pain than actual "ouch" pain if that makes sense 3) I work out daily and now I feel so useless in bed resting (which I know is what I need to do to heal but still) 4) I WANT FOOOOOOOD :(
Is it going well for u now?
I swear i never related more to a comment then this one. Im on day 2 of my wisdom tooth removal and feel more irritated i can't eat or workout. My pain isn't to bad just more of an ache.
I’m on day 5 and bruising started but swelling went down quite a bit. I want a burrito so bad at this point. I’ve been eating sandwiches and pastas though.
I can relate my gums near the extraction site are still sensitive and they are annoying but no pain meds needed thou
I just want to eat actual food 😭
i just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out 3 days ago and i’m here to tell you, if you are afraid PLEASE dont be! i have major anxiety, and chose anesthesia. it’s nerve wracking i wont lie, but it’s definitely not as bad as i originally thought. first day was ehh, i was very tired from the drugs. pain was wild, it’s not really a PAIN way more of a “soreness” i would say. second day has definitely been the worst, pain wise. i felt much better but my teeth hurt quite badly. again, “sore”. today i’m doing LOADS better, i can even wait an hour or two before taking another dose of pain medicine. still hurts but definitely less. i’ve swelled a little bit, but not like others so i dont have much advice on that part. i MISS FOOD SO BAD!! im sick of mash potatoes ☹️
how did you sleep the first night? i had some bleeding before bed time, im not sure to keep the gauze on for the night or leave it off? i’m not to sure with that and it’s kinda terrifying me.
@@melissaamarthaa light bleeding is totally normal, its going to ooze a bit for a day or two. if the bleeding is too much for sleep, i recommend laying down with lots of pills to keep upright and use gauze. i wouldn’t recommend sleeping with gauze for choking reasons of course but what’s happening is TOTALLY normal! :) i hope this helps and if you have any more questions let me know!
Hi! I was wondering from your experience when would u go back to work or school? I just work part time as a babysitter and I was curious how many days I should take off!!
@@elkieelkie I’m unemployed right now🥲 LOL but i’d recommend taking 3-4 days off if you can!! the pain was manageable with the medication but honestly, you have to rest to heal yano? so i definitely recommend that amount of time and ALSO go off what your body needs. if you’re still feeling lots of pain or just overall needing more rest, take more time off as well! ❤️ i hope this helps, and i wish you a safe surgery and recovery!
This is my boyfriends UA-cam account lol I’m using his just an fyi I’m a girl 😂Thank you so much this comment has made me feel so much better but I still of course I am still nervous about it. I wish I never heard of this until after my procedure which is in a couple weeks but I’ve heard of anesthesia awareness is when you’re awake during anesthesia like your mind is awake but you can’t move talk or open your eyes so they don’t know you’re awake, that’s what scares me the most. I’m also scared of the fact of the pain afterwards especially if the pain is it medicine is only Tylenol. I’ve watched videos on how the wisdom teeth removal is done they literally cut into your gum. It just looks so gruesome I don’t understand how Tylenol can help that pain.
The one week flash forward was super optimistic given that I’m on day 3 right now 😅. Thank you for sharing your journey!
ah im getting mine out tmr and i hope i recover fast cos ive got plans next Friday huhuhu
Just got mine out 4 days ago it doesn’t hurt that much unless you open your mouth to much.
i’m on day 2 right now !
@@dkim5 hi since you’re comment is too months old i just got all 4 of wisdom teeth’s extracted and it didn’t take long i had about 8 shots put in my mouth and all in all they just pulled them out and it took about 5 to 10 mins but i wanted to ask if one youre wholes are closed or close to being closed and if you can, when we’re you able to eat like chips and hard candy and other foods that you wernt supposed to eat per say the first or second week? :)
@@caprisunmunch hey great questions haha. I started eating chips and stuff like that maybe a week and a half into it (felt comfortable enough to do so). I just made sure that food wasn’t stuck after using a water flosser on low power. I felt completely back to normal in maybe 2.5 weeks tops.
right after the surgery i thought i’d be okay and now i’m on day 2 and can barely swallow my own saliva
Hi5 😫🥺
Why? Swallowing has nothing to do with teeth removal it’s not connected to the process of swallowing. Is it the swelling? Pain?
@@trishaaloo5281 yesss due to swelling it causes pain
same with me. cant swallow so i am just putting out in bottles
FR I’m spitting out cups of saliva in a bag😭
Just got mine out today. I watched this video a few days prior and it really helped me get an idea of what to expect! Thanks for taking us through your journey!
3 weeks later and I still can't eat a burger, soo glad I never have to do this again, I did not know pain like this existed, not being able to sleep on my side is the worst
@Josh JeanJacket Jaeger no idea but didn't heal properly for almost 6 months, multiple bone fragments had to be removed on 3 separate occasions after the operation and have developed TMJ disorder since then, I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on anyone.
Took over 3 months before being able to eat solid food comfortably.
@@roosterNooster Jesus Christ that is miserable. I’m on day three and feeling fine but am terrified of getting dry socket
Thanks for sharing this! I had all 3 of mine(I only *had* 3, and one was broken/impacted) YESTERDAY. No IV, no roof-shot but shots around the teeth. My dentist was a totally boss and what I thought was him checking to see if I could still feel pain, he was pulling. Like literally 10 seconds per tooth. I went shopping afterwards before going home and taking care of myself. Day 2 hasn't been so bad, just being overly cautious as usual. Happy Healing to all getting this procedure done, and I know you're doing great now Wendy :)
I was awake for the whole thing. It was a nightmare. I felt all my teeth cracking out of my face and it hurt so bad.
Yeah it was so nasty to hear it inside cracking while it was happening
mine are coming through and if i need them to be removed, reading this just put me off😫
@@oliviahanson7398 I'm getting a full iv sedation so I'll be asleep, so that's an option too
@@oliviahanson7398 I get mine out Jan 21 2022 and i'm being put to sleep, no way i could do it awake
Yeah I just had my bottom right wisdom tooth removed and was awake during the surgery and I was pretty grossed out with the noises. It actually made me nervous and a bit worried because I could hear everything and I didn’t wanted to open my eyes haha I hated the cracking noises and when they would pull and add pressure, to it, really felt super weird and when they pulled my tooth it hurt but not an ouch kind of hurt. The needle for the anesthesia was the only painful part of it all and ooooh the drooling freaking suuuucks
I get all four of mine out tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your experience, definitely relieved my anxiety a bit.
Getting all 4 of mine taken out tomorrow! This has been very helpful, I’m a little nervous since I have 2 completely in the bone but I trust my doctor and I’ll do everything he tells me to do, hoping my recovery journey won’t be too bad. Wishing the same for everyone getting there’s removed/have already gotten them removed. Much love.
How did it go
I just had two taken out six days ago. the surgery was nothing. no pain. the aftermath, eating soups, and nothing else. sucks. I hope you were able to pull through asap
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday through general anesthesia, all impacted, and you video help with the severe anxiety I had over this event. I was so worried about the pain from the IV and the pain I would experience during recovery, but I was also numbed at the IV site and I received liquid pain meds and antibiotics and so far my pain has only reached about a 3 (as of day 2). You gave me the confidence that everything will be alright and I truly appreciate that!
it’s the day after I got all 4 of mine out and my jaw is so tight.. it’s so uncomfortable but I’m just glad it doesn’t hurt. But man, it hurt VERY bad yesterday.
Thank you for this video! I get mine out tomorrow and all the videos on youtube are kind of dramatic but yours was very helpful on like what i can expect realistically.
I just got my wisdom teeth removed today. It was four. Everything was great from the surgery process and the healing process but let’s see how it’ll goes the next days. I literally cried today because I just come back home from surgery and my husband won’t help me watch the kids because he said he’s tired too. I had a breakdown and it was stressful for me. I feel so sleeping now but he makes me cook for him. Rest well. Good luck to those that will soon get their teeth out.
I’m praying for you. Just got mine out yesterday and I haven’t had to lift a finger. My husband has taken over cooking cleaning and watching the kids so I can rest and heal properly.
Aww I feel so bad.. I got mine taken out Tuesday morning and I felt ok until yesterday night or the night before. So I started taking the pain meds and feel a little better but I don't feel like doing anything I just want to rest but can't because I got two little kids I have to feed..besides that I just let them run around until I have to feed them again or change their diapers.
Getting mine out in over a week, my main fear is that I can't swallow pills. How bad was the recovery? Your husband sounds like a jerk lol
You should get your husband removed too
When you feel better and i hope you get the rest you deserve, are going to need a conversation with your husband! Mistreating you like that, you are his equal! Not a babysitter, a maid, his partner and he needs to put his part and effort into that partnership especially with kids involved. Think of the example and he should also think of the example he is giving his children.
I have wisdom teeth surgery tomorrow! Im so stressed but this video really help- thankyou!
Thank you for making this! I got all 4 out yesterday, and the first few hours were the worst. I had to take some stronger pain meds, but after that I was fine. I’m definitely sore, but I’m overall doing good.
Thank you so much for this video I get my taken out tomorrow and I have bad anxiety 😭 I’m more worried about feeling loopy thank you so much for the video it really helped me chill
I’m getting mine out in 3 hours and thank you so much...most of the videos on UA-cam are so scary and made me worry even more about it but yours really helped💗
How was it? I get mine out Tuesday😅
@@ParadoxOfDivinity I expected it to be worse. Just the pain the day after was really bad but it really helps if you just have one tv show you really like and can just lay in bed and make a tv marathon so that time passes by quicker. But you’ll get through it so don’t worry too much
@@leslieinawholenewworld6608 yeah i haven’t had too much pain I have been just sore. I’ve been watching marvel movies and UA-cam like crazy. I don’t remember a thing from the surgery it’s crazy. Not as bad as I thought it be. I just wanna eat normal foods and not be swollen!!! Hope ur doing great
Get a a very good oral surgeon if you’re wisdom teeths are complicated. I’m on day 4 and I’m recovering very well, only experience minor swelling now. Mine was complicated cause they had to do a coronectomy on the lower jaw tooths as they were pretty much in my jaw and too close to the nerve. The upper ones were all impacted, but I decided to get them removed to avoid complications in the future. The surgery and recovery for myself went very well. I didn’t have any major pains, except stiffness and swelling mainly. Day 3 was the worst for swelling, but today I feel pretty much back to my normal self and not taking any medication except for the antibiotics. Throughout my recovery I pretty much took regular ibuprofen and I was fine. I’m 28 and freaked out, but this has been overall a very good recovery and you’ll be fine too. Just make sure you do your reviews on dentists and oral surgeons and you’ll be fine, at least that was my experience.
I watching this video when I was in a pain.... I think I’m gonna cry this is so hard
Same here
Thank you so much for this, really helps with my anxiety!!
The place I went to SUCK! They didn't give me any ice pack or instruction of what to do after surgery. I came home in pain, I couldn't eat at all, my face was so swollen and bruise, my left shoulder felt sore as if I've over worked it, they did not give me enough gauze, I was not given an icepack nor socks or a blanket put on me during the surgery, It was rainy, and I wanted to know how the surgery went, like was there any complication, did it when smooth, did they stitch them up or left them open, why am I in pain? I couldn't talk because of all the gauze in my mouth and I was in pain. They woke me up and wanted me out of there as fast as they can as if there was another patient behind me waiting to get there wisdom teeth remove. It's been 4 days and it hurts and hard to swallow. I'm sooo glad your went very well, God bless you.
I’m on day 3 so far so good. Hopefully it stay this way
Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
I did local anesthetic and it was easy breezy
i got one of mine removed Saturday. Im on day 2. The pain isn't to bad. its more of an ache. I haven't been overdoing it with the pain meds either. Im super paranoid about a dry socket! I am even scared to eat mash potatoes 🙄. I just been making smoothies and soup. Gotta go back this sat to get my stitches out.
Wisdom teeth surgery hurts I got that done 4 years ago and today I got oral surgery they took out 2 more of my teeth it sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do
I’m 5 days post-op and I’m FINALLY starting to feel like myself. I had two uppers and one lower removed. I was lucky and only the lower one was slightly impacted. The healing process went really well (DONT SUCK ON ANYTHING. SERIOUSLY.) since I followed the directions religiously, but I had horrible dizziness and head spins like I have never had before.
I’m prone to migraines and TMJ and I think the trauma to my jaw caused a major tension headache. I had a pulsating migraine that lasted for three days. It’s only began to alleviate today and I’m still on Advil and Excedrin. If you can, don’t take the pain killers they give you. I had a horrible narcotics headache from taking one of the hydros and again, was even MORE dizzy from it.
Also the antibiotics can make you feel fatigued and dizzy. So yeah. Feeling dizzy and headaches have been the biggest factors for me. If it wasn’t for those, I honestly would have few complaints.
DRINK A LOT OF WATER!!!!
Had mine taken out last friday, watching these kind of videos helps me reassure a bit of the healing process.
Luckily my case has been really good so far, had 3 pulled out. I can't really chew food only with my front teeth. It's been a bit shitty because I loveeeeee eating cookies and stuff and now I have to stick to liquid-ish foods.
No pain though, but my surgeon prescribed painkillers in the form of powder that you put into water and drink.
For anyone reading, I recommend eating soups, mashed potatoes, ice cream, scrambled eggs, avocado, banana, chocolate (melts on the tongue if you do want something sweet) etc. just generally things that don't get lodged into your sockets easily and are really soft. I would prevent hard stuff such as cookies, nuts, seeds and any other little or hard thing.
Started rinsing after day 3 to prevent any food being left in the mouth that could cause infection. And just very carefully brush the teeth, trust me, I'm also very afraid to get a dry socket. Something you will WANT to avoid.
Before you know it it'll be over. Healing process can take up to a month/6 weeks I've heard, 4th day for me only so far so I have a long way to go, but I hope to eat bread again after 7 days.
thank you for this I just got mine out yesterday and it sucks so muchh
@@ibetmariscal7702 yeah I know the feeling. Make a good schedule and stick to that as much as you can. Take a lot of rest, it'll help a lot.
I know you left this comment a long time ago but do you have anything to add for your recovery process? I get mine out in 2 days and I’m only worried for the recovery (when you can workout again, when you can eat normally again and how long swelling lasted !)
@@maevehourihane188 Well it's been half a year ago now and it's healed very nicely. I definitely think everyone has a different healing process. For me tje swelling lasted about a week. On the 3rd day after my wisdom teeth got pulled the swelling was the worst, on the 7th day you almost didn't even notice anything. It's the lower wisdom teeth that caused most swelling since it's near a lot of sensitive nerves.
I wouldn't recommend working out in the first week, taking a stroll and such is fine but when you do push ups or anything that could put too much pressure on the head area, causing a bleeding or popping out the blood cloth that you really want to keep for a good healing progress. After the blood cloths feel strong enough usually 8th, 9th or 10th day (for some) you can pick up working out again but still not putting a lot of pressure on it like lifting heavy weights, I would do that later in the 2nd week just to be sure.
As for food, after 5 days I could eat bread almost normally again but still had to be careful with nuts or other sharper stuff or tiny stuff. Cleaning is key, do not forget it, you don't want any food in the holes or it could cause infection.
I had a mouth wash that I had to use after the 3rd day (blood cloths need 3 days to tighten properly), they advised me to not put pressure on it, aka swishing or pushing the mouth wash around harshly. Let it sit in your mouth for a bit and tilt your head and tongue slightly to get it where it needs to be. After 10 days you can use the mouth was normally again.
I hope this helps, if you have more questions i'd happoly answer them.
@@rikkunikay wow thank you so much for that detailed reply!! You really have put me at ease. I haven’t gotten a lot of this information (obviously as I haven’t been in for my procedure yet) so I’ve been stressing myself out by thinking about it! Thank you so much for your helpful advice!
Thank you for this video i have just had 3 of mine taken out 2 of them were impacted both on the bottom when should i rinse the hole im so nervous to dislodge the blood clot im trying to do everything right , im just soooo. Nervous 😓
I had mine out just before leaving the AF many years ago. I had IV Valium. I was conscious the whole time. I was flying so high, they could have pulled ALL my teeth and I wouldn't have cared a bit! lol
I just got mine removed 6 days ago. And the recovery phase has been the worst pain I remember enduring for this long a time. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m getting mine done next week and I’m so scared so I’m watching like every video
This video helped me, thank you! I'm getting mine removed in a couple of days🥺
its been 1 week & it was literal hell . i was in the most pain day 3 . i was super swollen still a bit , but i was in so much pain . i couldnt talk , eat , do basically anything . walking hurt my mouth , i got a fever , couldn't sleep super uncomfortable . the pain meds wouldnt do much . also got freaking nerve damage and cant feel my chin or lip . so yay me ! i aint think it waa gonna b like this
Me too 6 day later and still can’t feel my lip or chin .. The mouth wash they gave me felt better than the pain medicine
Ugh im on day 5 and am with you 😫😫 this is miserable
Did you rinse? Did you eat hard foods? Did you brush too early? Did you chew on the gauze? Did you spit or suck on something? All of those things can cause a dry socket or extreme pain..
Did your numbness go away? I got mine out this morning and the numbness is driving me crazy
How y'all talking?/😅 I removed my wisdom teeth yesterday and it started to bleed like hell while I was sleeping and can't even talk
omg thats terrifying! I have my surgery tomorrow :(
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc Go to the store and buy as much as ice cream and ice you can. Believe me it's gonna help you a lot. Ice cream also helps to stop bleeding. And don't worry you gonna be alright :)
@@tharindukarunasena648 thankyou for the advice! I grabbed some lemon-lime sorbet and it was such a good idea :D
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc you still alive? Im 28 and my dentist told me I gotta remove 4 of my wisdom teeth. I feel that is like suicide.
@@jeremyadam7123 Yes I am! I went through a private clinic and it was super smooth and easy. I was prescribed codeine and never felt any pain. I was out of it for a week though and not being able to eat much was pretty sad haha
i got mine out yesterday and i am STARVING and the salt water is absolute gross but so far the procedure wasn’t that bad just make sure to get lots of fluid and rest!!
Honestly, thank you for this. I'm supposed to be getting mine out soon and it did help to calm my nerves a little. The comments section is full of comments similar to this which is reassuring to see. My main concern out of all of this is bruising and nerve damage, but you didn't seem to have any and mot many people have spoken about this.
The eating is the hardest for me cuz im so paranoid of dry socket n having any food go in there. My 1st tooth wisdom teeth extractions were not as bad as these 2. I felt so much pain once the numbing gel wore off
Doctor didnt stitched after pulling out my wisdom tooth. Is that ok? there is bleeding since last night.
feeling too pain
I got 4 of mine taken out august 15 (not erupted) and I was scared and nervous as hellllll but it wasn’t even as bad as I thought, hated the needle in the arm part tho lol, but on the first day I bled a lot not that much tho, and then on the 2nd day I wasn’t bleeding no more and it only felt like pressure in my mouth I wouldn’t say I felt any pain so I guess my experience was okay, but it’s different for everybody. I’m on day 5 and feel great :)
I like this video. I got mine out awake i didn't feel anything but my doctor is very very good.
How did you chew your food I’m trying to find methods that aren’t as uncomfortable?
We totally went to the same oral clinic in dtsf! Recognized that out clinic bed area lol. did they remove your stitches when you went for the check up? Or do they dissolve naturally? I’m on day 2 of recovery
What’s your advice on getting your jaw working normally again? I’d appreciate you’re help!
Can you do an update one how your gums have healed, if you feel normal while eating again, if the holes are completely gone by now ,etc? Please I just want to hear like on average how long it takes
Hey Wendy, how long until you went back to eating normal food?
Glad it went well 🌸
i’m getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning and i’ve been scrolling through reddit for the past 30 mins. most people are sharing their wisdom teeth horror stories, but i know that many people will only post about their experiences with something if it was negative. your video made me feel way more at ease :) thank you!!!
I just got my 4 wisdom teeth out on Monday, as well as two premolars! The most important thing is just to take the medication as directed, but there were some times when I noticed that they were wearing off and could feel pain so I took them as soon as I felt this! The first two days are hard in terms of your mouth being super swollen and not being able to chew food, so maybe have smoothies, soup, ice cream etc. Also, I found it best to sleep sitting up at night because it allows the fluids to drain correctly and not drool everything all over your bed. Good luck with your surgery, everything will be okay! 🤗
@@Aarondaly37Finglas thank you so much!!! yeah, i went out and bought applesauce, pudding, purée for soup, ice cream, etc.. pretty nervous but at least i won’t be awake lol
@@Aarondaly37Finglas how long did your swelling last for? i’m hoping for it to be okay within a week
Yeah you'll be knocked out hopefully! I had twilight sedation where I was in and out of consciousness! It was a great time hahaha. My I'm on day 4 now and my swell has gone down about 80% - 90% but when I open my mouth, I can see at the back of my mouth I'm all bruised inside but it's fine no pain now! 🙌 I'd say within the week your swelling will be undercontrol 🙌
@@Aarondaly37Finglas ahhh okay, that makes me feel super relieved, thank you. swelling is my biggest concern but thankfully i’ve set aside a solid 7 days to recover
I’m on day 5 after my surgery, I was confused because so many videos mentioned the use of the syringe in the empty hole but I don’t have those, the gum is completely swollen around both lower areas as the stitches are still in place. How long did it take you to start seeing the empty socket after the stitches were taken out?
My wisdom tooth hurt like a bichhhhhh and what great timing, quarantine is not helping at all as they are only accepting emergency cases.
Did it cost that much because of bone grafting?
Thanks for doing this!
You look good on the first day! I feel like vomiting and a huge headache. My body even aches
Getting all four of mine out in three weeks from today! I had my consultation today; the surgeon is really nice and answered all of my questions. A bit nervous, of course, but I'll provide updates! :)
Just got mine done today earlier today. I’ve been avoiding this for awhile. The nausea is the worse for me.
It's been a week since my surgery! It went perfectly smoothly. The nurses were nice and made me laugh a bit beforehand, and the IV was the scariest part, but even then, it was alright! (And I have a horrible fear of needles.)
Afterward, I had a cycle of ice packs going to help with swelling, plus a ton of fruit smoothies and some lukewarm homemade soup I made the night before. Really helped out!
Good luck to anyone who's reading this! It'll be over before you know it. You'll be fine.
I'm having mine done in two weeks - same anxiety with shots and dental work ): Can I check where was the IV needle inserted (back hand/forearm)?
where’d u get the ice wrap
I’m on my 4th day and the pain is pretty much gone now and I can finally fully open my mouth!
kindly let me know if you used local anesthesia and whether it was painful during the procedure. Kindly advise what a patient should eat/drink post-surgery to avoid dry socket and infection. Thanks.
I'm 31 and im thinking of getting mine pulled but I'm afraid I may be too late to get it done, due to how long I've waited (if only my parents took me to have it pulled when I was a teen though🙄)
How did you get your face not to swell that much!?
I'm on day three and I'm so curious how I'm supposed to brush my teeth! My jaw is stiff so it's hard to open my mouth wide. I can only brush my front few teeth. Any tips?
Fr!
thanks for the video. on that first night sleeping did you do it normally or you stayed upright?
@@gonewiththewendy thank you wendy for replying. i do have to admit i also have a craving for mac and cheese and very happy you can still eat this while recovering :)
I’m really tryna figure out how tf u drank that smoothie right after surgery still
Bleeding and all? I’m scared idk what to eat
When you get out the bleeding isn’t super bad so eating isn’t a problem directly afterward. The only thing is that, for me at least, the chin and lower lip become completely numb so when you eat you might spill on yourself and not know it. :)
Were you able to avoid any dry socket?
How long did it take for your bottom “holes” to close? Im on Day 9 and my bottom left one is still open, but my bottom right hole is almost closed.
@@gonewiththewendy Did you have to rinse the hole with the syringe every day for the weeks/month that it took to close?
Question, how long does the swelling usually last? And does you face go back to normal at the end of it all? I got my wisdom teeth removed last Friday and I’m kinda concerned about it ^^’
Wendy vs. The World Ohhh! Alrighty-
im on day 3 and i have had no pain and little to no swelling. might be cause my wisdom teeth fully came out before they were removed.
How do you add product wit by the syringe on the top part?
i havent really been in pain and im in 48+ hours post surgery but im just scared that ive done too many things wrong and ill get dry socket and that if i get it, i wont know i got it and then be more paranoid
what did you do i can help you calm a bit
Just got all 4 of mines out !! Turn up 😭
I had all 4 of mine taken out 3 days ago. I wasn’t prescribed any antibiotics to my surprise. I’m so scared of getting dry socket 🤞 anyone else not get any after their removal
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out and I'm still healing 😂
I’m on day 3 of having 4 wisdom teeth and 3 molars removed and I honestly feel good I just have some swelling and I can’t eat anything but soft foods still but I’m not really feeling pain just some soreness but nothing bad.
You got 7 teeth removed at once😭😭and here am I terrified to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed I need to tho cause they’re bugging me and they’re impacted, how was your recovery from the removal
@@alxfia my recovery was great tbh , you will get put to sleep so you won’t feel any pain and when you wake up you will feel soreness and tenderness of the area. Just do what your dentist asks you to do and you will be 100% fine 🙂
Do you regret not getting the bone graft?
I had 2 weeks of pain after the extraction… i removed the 2 bottom wisdom teeth.. today is the 20th day and my other molar teeth are sensitive… I took ibuprofen for almost 14 days … it was painful
I got all 4 taken out today, I literally cried for an hour LOL. It hurts pretty bad. Buy it feels a lot be now with sleep and stuff.
Just got my two bottom wisdom teeth removed 4 hours ago... I feel sore .. hope my recovery goes by quickly and easily💖
I get all 4 of mine in November. Does it hurt? Are you bleeding a lot? And can you eat?
@@KaiSupremeVoice ! It hurt yesterday I took the medication they prescribed and the pain went away . I just woke up an hour ago , doesn’t hurt just feel sore but it does a little when I open my mouth wide, I’m about to eat a soup. The bleeding stopped yesterday a few hours after.
Eva Paula How are you now have you healed?
@@guero210 I’m great! Like a brand new person , no pain what so ever! I eat normally & it healed pretty well.
@@evapaula6947 how long did it take to heal fully?
This helped me I am getting my done next month 😮❤
Me too @isabellamccarthy
Omg I am getting mines out on Tuesday. I’m so nervous!! 😅
1 hour mark: im done!! I honestly feel discomfort and strange numbness. No pain. I had laughing gas which was.... an experience... I wouldn't suggest it to those who are VERY scared of needles as I did feel the pain of them sticking the needles through. I squirmed a bit in the seat. I didn't feel them tearing my gums but I felt them cutting and removing the teeth fragments. Again, not too painful. Just mild pain here and there. The laughing gas made me feel slower but other than that, i felt normal and aware of everything. And I survived!
24 hour mark: i am actually doing better than I thought. There's barely any pain which makes me nervous 😅. I expected I will be in a lot of pain like how it was after my tonsillectomy but I only feel slight discomfort. Sometimes i forget i even had the surgery until I move my jaw.
48 hour mark: Still no serious pain! Once i felt it, i took my prescribed pain medicine and im fine. Recovery has been more of an inconvenience than pain. Im super nervous of dry socket so I barely move my jaw now. Im so glad I stocked up on broths.
96 hour mark: I feel so much better. Just a little soreness here and there but I can finally open and close my jaw normally. I can finally eat (tediously slow, however) solid food now which shocked me (it could be because it's Thanksgiving and i dont care anymore....👀). The biggest problem at this point is not getting food stuck near my wisdom teeth. So much food is stuck there and I can't get it out no matter what I do😭. I hope it doesn't cause anything tho.
Thanks so much for this!!! I am getting mine done this Friday, and I am really scared. But comments like this make me feel a lot better like I can do it!!
I’m got 2 taken out on February 13 (i have to go back to get the other 2 out) I’m going into day 3 and it’s annoying not being able to eat is annoying. I honestly don’t know how people can take all 4 out at once. (I honestly think it’s better in the long run to only go through it once. But my doctor said i have to come back) anyway I just hate not being able to eat. + brushing my teeth is so difficult!! At what day did y’all start feeling human again. ALSO I hate that my cheek is so swollen. I forgot to add this but I was also not put to sleep I felt everything all the pushing and pulling it honestly sucked and it was really traumatic. I would’ve 100% would’ve wanted to be put to sleep so I wouldn’t remember everything. I’m so scared to go back
I’m 9 days post op. Got my wisdom teeth out and one side healed up perfectly I’m able to eat normally without pain but the other side I ended up getting a dry socket. Not sure how as I only ate pudding and Mac and cheese for 4 days. The dry socket ended up healing itself but didn’t heal all the way so I went in on day 7 and they put medicine in. We’ll see how this goes now
I'm on day 5 and that's what I'm most worried about is dry socket still. Not sure when you can stop worrying so much. I hope you feel better soon!! *hugs*
are dry sockets supposed to heal themselves? I feel like I have one but I’m not 100% positive. I’m on day 4 and day 3 was so fricken painful during the night I couldn’t even sleep
@@malarieenriquez how did it go?!
@@veanne good! I don’t think I had a dry socket but I just bumped up the meds and it was fine
@@malarieenriquez oh that's good to hear!
Omg. This is so me. I'm getting mine out in 5 days and I'm going under a general. The anesthesia is what I'm nervous about but I'd rather be asleep then awake! I don't like needles either, but I actually pass out cold when I get even the tiniest amount of blood drawn. And yes, I am terrified of saying stupid things after lol. And the whole losing time thing freaks me out too. And my friend's gf is driving an hour to drive me, so I am so grateful to her! But I will be alone during recovery since my family lives in Canada, and due to the pandemic, the border is closed. Ugh!
So I'm on day 5 of recovery and I think mine would have gone a lot more smoothly if it weren't for developing two massive canker sores on the inside of my lower lip a few days ago! Like directly where my top tooth meets my bottom lip so it's constantly being prodded at so it's basically torture. If anyone is prone to canker sores, (I think it runs in my family.) just be mindful that this could happen. My theory is that when they put me under with the IV, they probably weren't as careful where they were working as when if I were awake and just had a local/freezing done, they would probably be much more mindful of how rough they were being. (Not that my surgeon wasn't great. I luckily had a really great surgeon with nice bedside manner. But anyone would psychologically lower their carefulness when the patient is put under. So totally not his fault. Just a theory I'm throwing out there.) Also, I'm wondering if maybe ibuprofen would make you more susceptible to them as these are technically ulcers and I know ibuprofen lends a risk to stomach ulcers too..
Just fully recovered from getting all mine out I’m here to tell you it took about 2 weeks for me to fully recover and the entire recovery process is painful uncomfortable and irritating
Wow that's so expensive! In UK we pay £65 under NHS.
Foods to eat: Cold Soups, Juices, Cold Milk, Smoothies, Ice cream, Milk soaked bread and biscuits, Mashed potatoes, Mac and Cheese
I’m on day 6 of recovery and I have nerve damage ( paresthesia ) I also had 5 teeth pulled. 5 bone grafts. 4 cavity fillings all in one sitting. I was under for 8 hrs, I went in and walked out all Effed up.
Oh my! Hope you get better soon. I can only imagine how rough that was. I'm also recovering but just from lower wisdom tooth surgery
The only thing that was hard recovering for me was having to sleep with my head elevated. Day 3 after surgery is about to start
Wow this helped me!! I am having mine taken out tomorrow and i am so so nervous abt it!! :((
Wendy vs. The World how many wisdom teeth u had removed?? Mine’s 3 and i am freaking out lol
I’m so scared for when I have to get mine out, I have severe emetophobia and so I do not want to throw up agter the surgery
ask for zofran!
I had all of mine out last week and they were trying to kick me out before I was even fully awake, put me in a wheelchair and took me to my car, dunno what I did to piss them off or if they're just like that but it wasn't good care at all lol
what antibiotic did you get prescribed because i just got mine out ive been following every instruction but it still kinda hurts without painkillers but its area looks infected and my dentist did not give me an antibiotic only a painkiller n now im scared that it’s infected
My doctor prescribed amoxicillin. Some don’t prescribe antibiotics unless there is an infection. If it’s still feeling moderately-severely bad after a week I would def contact your surgeon.
“Anxiety has no logic” yep I’m with you- I had my wisdom teeth removed a few days ago and I was a mess. It ended up being so smooth but I can relate. Also $2k out of pocket?! Goodness that’s terrible... don’t get me wrong mine was expensive but geez...
@@gonewiththewendy thanks!
how are your teeth now? i just got mine removed
today
Currently on day 3 after lower wisdom tooth surgery and the swelling ramped up (as predicted by my doctor). A mild fever started about an hour ago but I've read it's normal. Looking forward to eating solid again. The discomfort is real but I'm sure it'll be fine after a couple of days.
Are you eating solid foods now?
@@poptartmepls8005 yesterday morning I ate pancakes and I've eating scrambled eggs for a couple of days. Currently on day 6. Still uncomfortable but the swelling greatly reduced as of yesterday. Finally! I can still feel a little hard bump near my jack and a lot of stiffness but it's much better to the highest level of swelling I got on Tuesday where my cheek turned into a ball.
José Reyes Castro thank you!
I heard a fever is not normal and that signals infection or a dry socket
please i hope you see my comment very quickly and inform me on what antibiotic you had
Dude I feel you. I had to pay 2K up front out of pocket the day of surgery and that was almost scarier than the surgery 😂 and i have good health insurance. I am currently on day 2 of getting 4 out with IV anesthesia
just got 2 from yesterday, its not that bad! :)
Why does it seem like everyone is recovering faster than me? Day 3 and still have tons of pain
I just got my wisdom teeth removed 4 days ago, it’s crazy because I thought I could only eat mashed potatoes and soup! You did way better than me.
How long did it take for you to start eating solid foods?
@@poptartmepls8005 it really depends honestly. Everyone is different ; it’s a case by case sorta thing
