    im a 17 year old that just got all four teeth removed yesterday, i just want to say if you are nervous, dont be because its not as bad as you would think. the day before my surgery i was getting so nervous i would look everything up that they would possibly do to me but its nothing compared to what you would think! my main advice is dont stress too much about it, it literally took my dentist 10 minutes to extract all my four teeth lol i was in the lobby more than in the actual room for the surgery, but yea just dont stress too much about it! btw i was numbed and wide awake and all you feel is pressure but it does Not hurt!

    Diet: smoothies, shakes, liquid, yogurt, cottage cheese, soups, Mac and cheese,
    Make sure that it’s cooled down
    Avoid foods with high acidity 3-4 days (orange juice, soda, certain fruits)
    Avoid seeded foods!
    Avoid- spicy foods
    When can I eat more solids? - everyone is different. Depends on pain levels. How wide you can open jaw.

    I got my wisdom teeth removed today, had a mocha frappe 5hrs after the extraction. Doctor suggested to not have rice at all as we think its soft and ok to consume, but gets lodged in the socket. So I cooked rice and lentils, cooled it, blended and drank. Its protein rich so keeps me full and don’t have many options, so just have to make it work. Planning on eating banana smoothie, oats porridge blended, scrambled egg, cottage cheese, yoghurt, protein shakes, guacamole (if I add onion and garlic, will blend it for sure) , dip and eat bread in cold coffee for the next 7 days.. 👍🏼

    I've had my four wisdom teeth removed on the 24th of June, been fasting for 2 days straight since I underwent the surgery, I'm 28, the doctor who removed me teeth said that they were difficult to extract, he said that there was more bone damage than usual, my jaw is so painful right now, I don't even feel like eating. Is fasting bad or can it promote faster healing?since I'm reducing inflammation by not eating and leaving the stitches intact, I haven't really bled since I woke up from the surgery.

    I recently turned 21 & just got 4 of mine removed yesterday (I'm currently serving in the Airforce). It's been crazy for awhile, but honestly I'm getting better. My friend who drove told me the doctor's words that "I'm the perfect patient" because they had no issues with me & didn't deal with bone shards at all. They did my surgery in less than an hour!! It's crazy.
    Also I like the background music, name?

    Hi, from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧😁. I am 40 years of age... Nearly. I was told a couple of years ago by my tooth doctor that I never had any wisdom teeth. Roll back to about 6 weeks ago, I had a terrible time with my back tooth. I've got TMD, and my tooth cracked due to this, so my tooth wasn't actually impacted. Anyway, after weeks of hell, and I mean hell, major infection in the tooth, course of amoxycillen, then metronidazole... I finally had it pulled Thursday just gone. The pain is still kicking about and it's horrendous! Who knew a tooth could give you so much aggro 😕🦷👀🥺

    Would Banana smoothies and tomato soup be a problem with seed / acidic? It's a 40 years old patient that took wisdom teeth out like 20 years ago, but with the root left near the nerve. Unfortunately his root did not surface and it has been causing bone lose at the jaw area from frequent infection that it was suggested to have it remove despite its location overlapping with the nerve on the 3D scan. He has allergy to dairy / avocado / a lot of other soft fruit like papaya, etc... so kind of limited the food choices. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Got my horizontally impacted right bottom wisdom tooth removed 3 days back. The plan was to remove both the right bottom and upper tooth, but couldn't happen.
    The bottom tooth was much more difficult to remove than the X Ray suggested and the root was close to some nerve ( that's what the surgeon told me). It took 1.5 hours of cutting, drilling, and cranking with all tools to remove it. Unfortunately, the process was excruciating. The doctor gave me local anesthesia three times and even that didn't help. By the time it was removed I was so exhausted that I was shaking and couldn't stand up.
    Lesson learnt: I am never getting my wisdom tooth removed again without sedative or GA 😭

      the both roots of my wisdom tooth were holding my nerve, it hug the nerve . even after more and more local anesthesia, including the one which injected to the bone, those were not helping . i could feel every touch. the vibration was directly sent to the nerve, my jaws feels like after being punched. the dentist and nurses were guilty alot watching me trembling to cry during 1 hours procedure . at the end. the dentist free me from any charge. yay!, i got impacted wisdom tooth removal free of charge . after 3 hours from the surgery, my jaw move normally, no hurt, less swelling. the dentist did the great job.

    Dr Choi is the very Best in the business, he pulled my widom a few years ago and my recovery was smooth, quicker than expected. I also had to have another unexpected extraction on a premolar yesterday which was a lost cause cavity, meaning no filling would help not even the pulpotomy that was done on it by my other dentist who should have caught the cavity a lot sooner since I always saw him every 6 months without fail( maybe he needs to use 3D xrays) when a simple filling would have sufficed. I went back to Dr. Choi who is an oral surgeon and he did an impeccable job as always. IT was a very hard pull probably due to the prior work the old dentist did trying to salvage the tooth but again I am healing fine. Dr. Choi knows his craft and is very pleasant too.

    Hello Dr. Choi. Thank you for the information. This is very helpful to me. I had an extraction and I was so concerned about what to eat. I do see that I have formed a clot in my socket where the tooth was extracted from but I notice that the top of the clot sits higher than the gum-line. I don't have any pain or bleeding after the 24 hour mark. I looked at images online and all of the images I saw showed the clot being flat or recessed inside of the socket with a concave shape. Should i be concerned about the clot being higher than the gum line?

    I got my tooth removed 10 years ago and the blood clot came out when I was yelling at someone and Vicodin didn't even help with the pain it took 4 days and 2 prescription of antibiotics to get better. This Friday I woke up with Jaw pain by Monday which was Yesterday the infection was in my throat, they pulled my tooth yesterday, and I started taking Antibiotics and sipping 1/2 water 1/2 lemon aid mix when I got home, I took Tylenol because they prescribed Ibuprofen which I can not take, and everything was closed. By midnight I had taken 2nd antibiotic, 8oz water down lemon aide and a Tylenol I was able to go to sleep with little pain, and by today taking the antibiotics Tylenol, and drinking waterdown lemon aid I feel much better, I was able to eat mashed potato's with gravy, 2 steak fingers, a onion 1/2 soft bun and tea, chewing on the good side taking my time and being Very careful chewing and swallowing, it was the first real food since Saturday night. I was able to go outside and water my yard and tend to my fish pond. If you want to know what makes the difference it's the blood clot, Make sure you don't pull it out with the gaze, don't go to sleep with the gaze in your mouth, slowly sip everything you drink, and don't eat anything until 24 hour later, don't brush your teeth or rinse your mouth, or mess with it, just rest don't even talk, and try not to lose the blood clot within the first 24 hours. If you loss the blood clot it will be very painful for days and take longer to heal. Once the bleeding slows and the blood looks thicker than it will clot, which you should stop using the gaze or it could pull the blood clot out when you remove it. Look at the blood and notice the difference, when it looks thicker stop using the gaze. Good luck to any of you reading this in the future looking for help.

It’s on to the pathologist now but my surgeon is pretty sure it’s a dentigours cyst. My 17 molar was super impacted down towards my sensory nerve. It was a 3 hour surgery and I’m on day 5 of recovery. Any suggestions or past experiences on operations like mine?

The doctor said it was to prevent my gum from collapsing and in case I wanted to replace this tooth, number 18, I will be ready to go. My question for you is number one is this my wisdom tooth?
