Lol this is like the third video I’ve watched where the dentist said they hardly experienced any pain after their wisdom teeth removal. One even played basketball the next day. Oh how I envy them!! I had all 4 of mine removed 6 hours ago and the pain is awful. I know they say to drink plenty of water and eat soft foods for the first day but at this point I’d rather starve. It hurts to much too drink anything. Pharmacy is taking forever to fulfill my prescription for pain medicine. Took some Tylenol in the meantime and it’s been useless. I just want to fast forward to the next month, this is miserable. Ps. I know everyone’s experience is different but it doesn’t help that I don’t have a high pain tolerance to begin with Lol
How are you feeling now ? Just for mine done on Friday and I’m still swell and numb. The worse is the pressure I’m feeling in my nose my sinus area ! It’s so uncomfortable
I share the same sentiments as you I'm in so much pain 😭😭😭 had it extracted 3h ago
@@simangelemilicentkatsande7359 had it extracted yesterday. Pain full.
u okay now? i just got mine removed and i’m in the same boat :(
I got mine removed today left side top & bottom I feel horrible 😔😔😔😔😔🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
My face never swoled up and im on day 3 right now,so far haven't really had any pain.Idk maybe im just one of the lucky ones
Same here
Ask one think dr after wisdom tooth removal my face structured changed it is possible after taken wisdom toorh
Same kinda
Same!
I felt pain during the procedure I have to take a break. Next day tho, no pain at all just taking care of my clot. It feels like jello,dark, and it was a lot but I keep it in the socket as to protect the actual bloodclot that's in there
It’s been a few hours since mine were removed and I’m in severe pain. I didn’t think it would be this painful.
The Rockster just got mines done about 6 hours, didnt feel no pain until now this shit hurts
_angeloxxi The next three days are going to be hell for you. But after 5 days you’ll be good. Just a little sore and bruising for me now.
The Rockster The aftermaths is always the part everyone should be worried about.
After I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday it only hurt when I did the first swap of gauze 1.5 hours after the surgery. The next few swaps hurt as well (I was told to swap gauze every 1.5 hours) after a few hours I said screw that and stopped putting gauze and drunk water and had no true pain since. I only got 1 side (top and bottom) taken out yesterday. I have to go back in a few days to remove the wisdom teeth on the other side. I hope that side goes well too. Can’t wait for this ordeal to be over with!
Generic1995 type tingz good luck man. I had to schedule for a month later because they messed up my anesthesia prescription. I’m already 3 years overdue though so I guess I can wait🤣
I had a good experience with my wisdom teeth removal. After a while the bleeding stopped and I had been drinking cold drinks like milkshakes and slushes to keep the swelling down. I’m very grateful that I didn’t have any pain before my wisdom teeth surgery and after. I’m also thankful for the drs and nurses that cared for me through the process.
Yana glad to hear you had a good experience. That is most often what happens but people with a good experience are less likely to talk about it.
All I want is to eat real food. My mom slipped some tumeric in my soup, I drunk it and it burned. A couple hours later I wake up and she's like how do u feel I'm like a little better, some of my inflammation went down. She goes oh really. I'm like yeah but for some reason it burned really bad. She goes "oh well I put turmeric in your soup since it has healing agents." All I can think of is seriously, like yeah it helped but it burned.
Lmfao😂😂😂
Lol! Next time tell your mom they make turmeric capsules!
God bless her 💓😇 haha she was trying to help
Yeah, turmeric is a very powerful antiinflammatory
Removed all 4 at once and all i have to say is my pain pills are not strong enough .. And i still cant feel my lower half of my lip and chin
Luna Lee this is a good reason to call your oral surgeon and talk to him/her about it.
Yo same at day 2
Same! 5 days later. Still in pain. Pills not working. Cant feel my bottom lip and chin
Update from you all please!!! I just had one removed today. I’m In pain and still numb 😩
Im no expert but i think close to the wisdom teeths is a nerv if it get hurt in the procces of the removal you could lose the feeling in your lips
I just got mine out earlier today and my jaw is killing me
Gertrud Barkhorn i got mine out today and i’m feel like crap
you'll feel better soon, swelling will stay for a little though
i got mine out literally an hour ago and my jaw is hurting now more and more as time passes... OOOOF
I got mine out, only thing that's bothering me is the bleeding lol
Me2 its a bitch its 4th day n still feel like thumbing.pain n jaw stifnesss smh
Got all 4 removed yesterday, thankfully no swelling and no pain 🙏
How 😕😐
No swelling and pain? you're lying it's impossible.
👀
@@enemydown.gaming the medication was really good and apparently so was the doctor.
Same as you just got the two out
I got only one removed yesterday and with just a normal anesthetic so i was awake and suffering through the whole thing. I'm still having traumatic flashback because of it. It's so painful after the surgery, but guys let me tell you... just be thankful that you are in an advanced enough country to give you strong enough anesthetics to make you sleep. I have never in my life been that close to fsinting because of the pain, and worst part is that tje surgery took 3.5 hours. Just imagine how frightened i was.
Fish God sorry you had that experience. Normally extractions take less than 5 minutes.
@@KantorDental it's ok, but may i ask doctor, after how many days i am able to drink hot drinks again? I'm craving coffee :(
Mine was about 1hr 45mins i can relate 100%..... "traumatic flashbacks"
Jeez. I feel pretty privileged then. I was put to sleep the entire time. Didn't feel a thing. Took 30 min to get all 3 out. Woke up like they put me to sleep for only 2 minutes. Got medication so didn't feel much pain during recovery and within 2 weeks, was good like new again.
I'm afraid of dislodging the clots when sleeping as it's really easy to make a sucking gesture.... Especially with increased saliva output etc. I wish they had stitched all of them.
Update! its officially been 2 weeks since my surgery and the gum pain is near gone. My advise to you all. ONLY EAT SOFT FOODS. WARM and COLD! just try not eat where the holes are at in the extraction. Also make sure you brush your teeth and keep rinsing your mouth with warm salt water every night until your gum holes are permanently closed
We have to spit after rinsing with warm salt water ?
@@MOHIThuckle not really spit but lean your head side ways and let the water come out your mouth. Like a waterfall
@Claire S you can eat warm soft food away from the blood clot after the second week from the extraction. The only thing I forgot to mentioned still eat cold food which itll keep the healing process going. Everyone situation is different I couldnt tolerate all that dairy which had almost got me into the hospital on the first week, but I'm only sharing my experiences.
Are you able to eat normally?
How long did yours take to permanently close ?
Worst part of recovery for me is soar throat. Hurts so much.
Yeah feel like metal in yo throat
This. I’m almost certain it came from that metal weight tool they lay on your larenx. It’s suppose to help monitor your breathing.
This is most likely for patients who went under.
That sore throat was like an insult to the injury. Made it so much more annoying. As soon as it went away, the experience became way more manageable. Having to do that annoying hesitating sore throat gulp was the biggest chore.
But also, it’s important to breathe out of your mouth. You want to get that bloodclot to solidify as quick as possible
I got coronectomy (when they cut tooth in half ) done at 1pm and ate pizza same day at 10 pm.
I was lucky one, no pain after surgery, I could eat like I always did (only had to avoid hot food and drinks).
But just to be causious, I wait for my food to cool down and chew everything on untouched side
I got mine done two days ago. I have to admit it never really hurt, it's just annoying, like biting on things feels weird and if I bite too strong it does hurt, mine was impacted and took a lot to get it out so on the 45min long procedure I was concious recovery wasn't gonna be easy
literally dependent on how long your mouth gets held open and how exposed the teeth are. if you have something like tmj, it won't be too fun.
id bet my left teste a decent portion of your teeth were visible and that you atleast experienced mild pain, but nice flex bro.
@@beamzsalt4252 I have TMJ and I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow! 😭😭 Imma ask the doctor to be really careful and not hold my jaw to far open and be as quick as flippin' possible! 😭😭 I'm scared out of my flippin' mind!!
Maybe it'd be better if he explained the possibility of dry socket..
Just got mine taken out 6 days ago. Got scared of dry socket for days..
Haha me too, is smart to be afraid of it. The pain is ridiculous.
When did you go back to eating normal food? Like pizza, sandwiches, stuff like that?
@@sirp.zohani511 after 3 days.. but i chewed on the other side
Yeah that’s why I’m gonna only drink clear fluids and only eat apple sauce and chicken broth. No straws either.
Same. Is it possible to get one after a week?
i got my wisdom teeth out today im so happy
I made of huge mistake of going to a free clinic to get my tooth pull out. The dentist was very rough. It felt like he was trying to pull out a rusty car part. It was awful. I never going back to a free clinic.
😂😂😂😂
I got 4 of them removed today. I watching this in hospital bed. Honestly is not that bad the doctor put me to sleep and thanks to anastesi i don't feel a thing.
coco nut but how was the aftermath of the next few days? I get all four pulled out next week.
I got my four wisdom teeth pulled out on Tuesday and all is good
never again too much pain ,thinking of going to Hospital
Same, I just took a hydrocodone an hour ago and I feel like I got hit by a train. (Day 3) my jaw hurts so bad. The only thing I can eat is applesauce, mashed potatoes and pudding.
711 Hardcandy
OMG TAKE ME TOO
PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU
I WILL HAVE MY DAD WATCH THE KIDDO LMAO 😆
THAT HOW MUCH PAIN IM IN
711 Hardcandy I said the same thing never again !!!
Just got my wisdom tooth pulled out , today is my 4 day after surgery why I’m having pain in only one side of my face ? The left side feels like nothing happened
Lol i have been in oain for a week and a half
ME TOO
@MJ Lee how are you doing now, I'm on day 3 about to go to sleep making it day 4, I just want to skip 2 months ahead
Same
I remember when I had my mine removed! I literally had to have meds next to me because the pain would wake me up in the middle of the night. The dentist prescribed me oxycodone and 800 mg of ibuprofen. The pain was so intense that I had to literally take the oxycodone instead.
dancer90 sorry you had pain after the procedure. That is not always the case but glad you had the oxycodone.
Def depends on how experienced and knowledgeable you’re dentist is . I’ve got one wisdom tooth done by a dentist and had bad swelling and pain. I went to a different one and had minimal swelling and pain and the second dentist was an oral surgeon and pulled out two wisdom teeth . I was just numbed was up for it literally in and out 20 minutes.
Sandy that is true. Although every situation is different so it can be hard to tell the reason for pain.
If you want it to clot quickly as in the next 4 hours .....avoid drinking water.....yes for the two days prior and after drink very little water then later u will be able to eat anything u want like me
Did you get ur tops removed? I tried letting my mouth actually dry up and it seems to work I’m on day 4 after I got one out and I feel great besides this feeling of my clot coming out but idk what from
It's been a 5 day... Still on a pain
I'm day 3 and I'm in so much pain, the swelling is so painful . I can't wait to feel like myself again
mine almost 2 days and still on pain and swelling
I am still in pain after 3 days🥺🥺
@@malvolia2621 you will get through it soon. It took a good week for the pain to fully go. Your nearly through it..
M scared!
Got 4 wisdom teeth out a little over 24 hours ago, I literally have zero swelling and no pain. I don’t know if my body is just different, but I literally feel great had me some yogurt today and noodles, will probably have some very luke warm or cold soup later today. I took pain meds this morning but I really don’t think it will make a difference if I take them or not.
Trent glad to hear you’re feeling good. Every surgery is different so post op soreness is always variable.
i am as swollen as a chipmunk 3 days in i have a lisp i look horrible 🤣😭 but the night of day 3 was the worstt haven’t slept through a night bc of pain, feeling much better now tho took a 3 hour nap’ swelling is bad still but pain is much more manageable, i made the mistake of laying flat for the first 2 days that’s why all the blood pooled to my cheeks and never switched to heat!! heat, motrin and elevated head and light jaw stretching day 3 already feeling relived 🙏🏼♥️ you all can get through this!!
I am on day 6 and still in a lot of pain. It hurts to swallow and the level of pain is seriously affecting my mood. Agony at times.
This is a good reason to contact your oral surgeon. They should be able to give you ideas to help get you out of pain.
So I got one of mine out two days ago and I have minimal pain; I’m taking all my medications and I’m using the antibacterial mouthwash as directed. I’m also tilting my head to the non wisdom tooth side when I eat my soft foods. I’m so paranoid of any sort of dry socket or anything . Am I doing everything ok?
Got mine taken out last Friday. It's Monday now and the pain feels likr hell
Kimmy Khaira this is a good reason to call your dentist. It's Monday so they should be available to help you with your pain.
Almost 24 hours since I got mines extracted, no pain but a lot of discomfort, god is good
Joshua glad you’re doing ok.
I got 3 removed at once, all impacted with only local anesthesia. I had moderate swelling and very little to no pain. I took ibuprofen for 3 days. Dont be scared guys, its really not that bad.
Eliza thanks for sharing your experience!
Going on 3 hours since I got my top two wisdom teeth removed. Had to get sutures on one side and the other side had 4 roots so it complicated things. I was fine for the first hour after but soon after that the pain gradually became horrible. I wish I would've taken motrin or something immediately after. Was in so much pain I got nauseous. I feel better now after having taken a prescribed med for pain. Going to ice and manage the pain with motrin starting tomorrow. Wifey loaded me up with soft foods for the next few days so I'm all set. Only going to drink water as well and took a week off from work
I had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out about two and and a half weeks ago. Most horrible experience ever. My dentist didn’t give me much instructions so I was rinsing my mouth the same day. The pain medication they gave me made me throw up every time I got up or tried to eat anything. I think that made the clots dislodge and then I got an infection it was the most disgusting thing I would wake up with a pool of pus and blood in my mouth. Eating was so painful. The swelling lasted for about a week and a half but there was a part along my jaw that was very tender and hard I could barely open my mouth.! I’m into my third week now since the removal and I still can’t eat solid food very well because it hurts a little to chew. I wonder if it’s normal that other teeth hurt close to the areas where they removed my wisdom teeth. I started working out again this week but it starts to hurts a little when I do.
Jessy Aly sometimes neighboring teeth can hurt (Either from the surgery or from referred pain). But definitely call your dentist if the pain gets severe.
i woke up sunday when one of my molars pretty much exploded in my mouth. i went to the dentist the next day (today) and she said it was a wisdom tooth they had to pull it. they gave me some gas that made me talk funny and mix my words (i kept saying "sister's girlfriend" instead of "girlfriend's sister"). they numb me with some gel and hit me with a couple shots. i didnt feel anything going on then and 6 hours later i still don't feel anything. i might later, but i'm not scared. the worst part is the pre-gas anxiety and that's over. its never as bad as how it is in your own head.
edit: sure would be nice to smoke a cigarette tho!
What about obsessive ear aches following a wisdom tooth extraction ? What is causing the ear pain ? As well as difficulty swallowing ? Sore Throat ?
jodada97 there are many possibilities that could cause an ear ache after an extraction. The timeline and type of extraction are variables. I would talk to your oral surgeon to get a more specific answer.
death
the sore through was probably due to you opening your mouth for a while. another thing is it must have been really dry after not being able to drink water before
It may b dry socket if it excruciating and appeared after two days ...plz consult a surgeon and do management
I feel like when you use gauze it can also remove the clot. it almost feels like I can't even swallow a protein shake.
Kantor Dental Group Thanks for the reply. Just had all 4 removed today and that did help!
I had mine removed today and it was not bad at all. Just a little sore, felt nauseous, swelling, and there was some blood. Other than that, it has been easy. Not looking forward to flushing my pockets though
Hmql 3 niiiiiiiggaaa u will experience hell in the next couple of days i got mine removed (4 teeth) 4 days ago and im still crying. The only thing i fucking ate were baby foods
While you were getting them removed, what did it feel like during extraction? If you remember of course. I'm just really young for getting my wisdom tooth, and now I'm scared half to death. I have always been afraid and feel sick at the mention of the dentist. I only have one at the moment though, bottom left.
I had 4 removed about 14hrs ago and haven't had any pain or swelling yet and meds been off. I just know tomorrow is gonna be hell since it hasn't hit yet. Also, how easy is it to get dry socket?
JefeThe YoungGod as long as you don’t use a straw or suck on food like a long piece of spaghetti you’ll be fine. Just kind of try to always have part of your mouth open to not create suction.
Im on my 5th day. Third day was definitely the worst, I was super swollen and had the most pain I’ve had so far. After the 3rd day it was smooth sailing ;)
Jojo thanks for the comment. Glad you’re feeling better.
I got mine out two days ago and caught the flu do sis isn’t doing so good
Wisdom tooth removal face structure changed
Oh girl I am so sorry!!
So, I got 4 wisdom teeth removed. My bottom 2 were impacted. Hours after the anesthesia wore off I began to feel pain, but after taking some ibuprofen I'm fine.
Fighter ibuprofen is one of the best pain relievers. Glad to hear it helped.
Day 7, still in pain 😭Got a dry socket despite following all the instructions, apparently because of the traumatic extraction (it took 1,5 hours to remove the tooth).
Fridaber sorry to hear that. The healing process with dry socket is 14 days.
Same here... Took 1.5 hours. Hope no more complications. The extraction was extremely painful
I am on day 7 too and the pain is too much.How long did it take you to completely heal
I got mine removed yesterday, and now that area is swollen.. I also need a root Canal in the adjacent tooth
Swear he makin this shot sound wayyy to simple. Them first few hours b4 u can drink a smoothie n take tht first pain pill is absoluteeee helll
I wish they gave me vicodin. They gave me ibuprofen 🙁
I've just got my last one removed on the European way completly aware with placeful anaesthetic, before the procedure I've ate slow carbs and quality proteins. Today I will not eat nor drink other than mineral water on room temprature. Yesterday I've raised the bed to be in on a 10 degree incline and I will keep it that way after recovery, also will not put any alarms because rest is the best medicine. Got some ibuprofen and I hope that I will not need those, the previous wisdom teeth gave less recistance than this one and that time I did not need pain meds. Maybe because I end all my showers at 50F. This time I've seen video's about the removal and it's crazy that there was no pain the previous time after seeing the jaw bone exposed.
I had all 4 of mine out yesterday afternoon. Currently the middle of the night and the swelling and pain is really bad. Thank god for codiene
Rebecca try raising your head above your heart while you sleep by using extra pillows. That should reduce the swelling caused by laying down.
@@greykantor945 thank you! I followed your advice and used 3 pillows. A week since the surgery and I still have. Some pain, swelling and bruising; but I'm starting to feel much better and I think I'm through the worst of it.
Hello! I got my wisdom teeth removed 6 days ago. Can I drink out of a straw, have gum, or drink soda¿ Because the internet is telling me yes but my mom is saying no 😂
Taria Burch yes you can. The blood clot is the most delicate the first 48 hrs.
Ask your doctor if you can take Ibeprofun the day before the procedure. My doctor recommended this to me and I think it prevented a lot of potential pain/swelling I could have faced.
Kristian thanks for the comment
I got a question doctor, so when I have all of my 4 wisdom teeth pulled out, how long does it take for all of them to heal?
Chris Ranjo that depends on a lot of things. But you should only have soreness for the next couple days. The area should be fully healed after a few weeks. I would ask the oral surgeon about this and he/she can give you more information.
Kantor Dental Group Okay thanks doc.
My teeth hurt and my gum is swollen to the point I have bad headache and tooth pain and my other tooth is coming out
I was at 80% better and zero pain on the 4th day
I just got mine out yesterday and I have a lot of pain and swelling
it's normal
I got all 6 removed and a infected molar I’m on day 3 almost 4 I have some pain but it’s weirdly itchy
I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed about 5 days ago and on day 3 the outside of the mouth around my jaw was itchy also!
My jaw Locked up on me 3 days after extraction from top row. Went back to the dentist. She was freaking out. Told me "no you don't need antibiotics, this is rare." I don't like the feeling of panic around me. At first she only gave me ibuprofen. Now she has given me 3 meds. I think she hopes I return in two weeks with good news. She's ready to push me off to an oral surgeon...I thought she was hot but not anymore like that...This is tragic.
California Rebel. Lock jaw happens. Just stretch it out every day and it will get better. Your dentist is right, the next step is oral surgeon.
Hi does it hurt when youre swallowing ?
@@KantorDental hi sir , got mine pulled 2 days ago , my tooth was impacted also infected , now still painful when i swallow , im afraid the pus didnt fully came out , what should i do ? Is it dangerous when pus left inside? Can it be treated with anti biotics ,,this really freaking me out
@@chrisj.1356 no. But I can feel knots in my cheek muscle. I do ice massages then Switch to a hot compress.
@@KantorDental Thank you. Just scared a little bit.
Got mine extracted today and didn’t feel a thing. I’m being consistent with the medications nonetheless. Only downfall would be the bleeding. Be prepare to lose a lot of blood.
Going on a week now and I had 0 stitches put in, and now I'm just being careful about getting food stuck in the holes. Other than that everything is going great!
Even i had no stitches
Thank you doctor for the advices. I had my wisdom tooth extracted 2days ago and now left side of my face is swollen. I feel pain from time to time. I still have stitches on the affected area.
Kamil. Sounds within the normal phases of healing. Try the techniques in the video and give it some time.
I'm nervous about my wisdom teeth surgery on April 6th
@@iloveroblox6387 I had mines yesterday hope everything goes good for u!!!
I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled out 5 days ago and I can't fully open my mouth yet. My friend got his 4 taken out a couple weeks before I did and after 4 days he was fine and eating normal food. I've done everything the doctor said and I'm kind of concerned
William Mason every surgery is different and no two people are alike. I wouldn't compare your surgery to your friend.
5 days is very normal to still have soreness or trismus. Talk to your doctor so he/she can help make you more comfortable.
William Mason same here! Been exactly 1 week. I’m still struggling to eat. Smh.
CrowdPleaser 1980 good the doctor told me I had to force my mouth open so that the soreness goes away
yours were impacted
William Mason Seriously 😭
if rinsing can dislodge the clot why are people told to rinse with salt water? How do you keep the area clean (so food doesn't get stuck and lead to infection) without dislodging the clot?
Emma L. Excellent question. You need to rinse gently. I tell my patients to tilt their head to move the water around instead of swishing their cheeks.
@@KantorDental thank you!
I’m incredibly normal had 4 wisdom teeth pulled out and in day 3 feeling like a champ!!.
Galaxia good for you! Go get em!
@@KantorDental I was wondering if I should use mouth wash lightly and how soon can I introduce tougher meals?
Would appreciate your feedback!! Thanks 🙏 🐸
@@galaxiax3284 same boat, I want to use mouthwash because my breath and tongue isn’t as clean as it usually is. Salt water helps but doesn’t keep it fresh the whole day.
It’s different for everyone, they say not to use alcoholic mouthwash but my dentist said I can personally start using non alcoholic mouthwash after a week
@@Gumbino awesome thanks,
When you said food particles, can you make a FULL list of what types of food you should avoid even if they are soft food that have that threat?
courage1 small particle foods are best to avoid. Rice and popcorn are the most common examples.
Day 4 still swollen like a blowup fish smh 😫
when did your swelling go down?
I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out on yesterday and was in a lot of pain and had a lot of blood that came out I’m scared I hope it’s not the bloodclot you was referring to that come up rn I’m not in a lot of pain I been takin my meds and my jaws are still swollen it’s sore but not as bad as yesterday so thanks for sharing this video 🥺❤️
Chrishanna if you had dry socket there would be pain. So you’re probably alright. Just be gentle! Glad you’re feeling better!
Hey Doc. Today is my 1 week after removal of the bottom left tooth... Blood clot is there but getting smaller. My main concern is jaw pain and I cant seem to stretch it open wider than 1cm right now. Getting really worried so... is this normal? What should I do?
Jeff Roze the first thing I would do is call the oral surgeon who took out the teeth. Most likely what he will tell you is that it will slowly go away and you should slowly stretch your mouth further and further open until it is back to normal. But it's important to talk to the oral surgeon or his/her staff because they were there during the surgery.
Kantor Dental Group . Tq Doc. Worried as I have the second appointment for thr 2nd tooth 2 days from today...
CrowdPleaser 1980. Alot better... its been a while and the Top side left only hurt for few hours. Didnt even swell up...
Kantor Dental Group it’s been 5 days since my surgery & I still can’t open my mouth good.
I know this is old, but if you get sick & throw up on the first day, how are you supposed to clean your mouth if you aren’t supposed to rinse? I want to be able to clean my mouth so it doesn’t get infected, but don’t want to cause dry socket if I shouldn’t rinse mouth for 24hrs! Any tips would be helpful, I’m so worried.
Riley great question! But the answer isn’t that great. You have to just leave your mouth a little more messy than you’re used to. You can put water in your mouth and move your head. But don’t swish your cheeks. Warm salt water helps.
Thanks for the tips man!
You’re Awesome Doc ! Thanks!
Ever since got my 4 wisdom teeth out I havent been able to open my mouth. I wanted to check if the blood clot was ok but i cant because I cant open my mouth.. the dentist gave me stitches on all but 1 tooth and im concerned about that one.. Its the second day of extraction (i got it done on Tuesday and it is now Thursday). I brushed my front teeth and stayed a tooth ahead of where the stitches are placed. I dont know if swallowing my spit makes it worse, but my mouth creates so much spit i generally swallow a lot. So the day of extraction I swallowed so much because of the extra blood and saliva. I dont know if ill be okay or not and all ive been doing these past days were worry if id contract dry socket or not... can you please tell me a sure way to know if i have a blood clot or not. ive searched all over the internet and all they said was to wait for intense pain the coming 3-7 days but is there any other way to check..?
yesterday i went back to the dentist to get my stitches removed, and i didnt know why because i was fine, but my dentist cleaned the hole and put some nasty stuff in. today just now all the filling came out, does this mean ill actually get dry socket now? i didnt have any pain before but im scared that now theres nothing in the hole ill get dry socket. i cant see well inside my mouth because of the hole but i know it looks like nothings there.
shimmyjamily nah. The worst part of my experience was not being able to open my mouth for like... A solid 3 weeks. Probably more like a month.. I lost weight cause I couldn't eat properly 💀
Anyways, I actually had a dentist appointment about.. A week ago..? They took X-rays and showed me that it was 100% healed over like nothing was ever there. Quite cool. Since my tooth extraction, my sister had hers done as well and she was so Careless. She did all sorts of things I couldn't do and was just fine. I'd say it's pretty hard to get dry socket unless you're TRYING to get it.
@@Kysmisa wow, 3 weeks is a long time to not be able to open your mouth. I'm glad to hear you didn't get dry socket. What a trip that a year later and your mouth is basically healed over! It's hard to know if what is happening is normal or a symptom of something gone wrong. We're all trying to figure it out or get ahead of the process. For now, I'm just going to think that this whole drooling all over myself at night thing is going to work itself out sooner or later and that thankfully it's not dry socket! 😆
Thanks for the reply
shimmyjamily if this helps any, if drooling is your only issue.. I kept a plastic bowl near me and drooled in it. Kinda gross and stinky, but it was better than getting it all over me and my bed. As long as you don’t forcefully spit and not SUCK, then you should be okay.
Igot mine removed yest just one that was partially out but it hasnt hurt at all. I had local anesthesia and was expectin somethin worse bc it was also a little infected but its just swollen and cant open my mouth that much
I'm scared I'm getting mine done on Sunday but since I'm a wuss lol I'm going get 2 taken out then the other 2 later 🙄 scared of the anesthesia cause of how loopy it gets you plus from my last experience didn't do good with anesthesia
@Legendary Dragon Gaming I got them out and your right I was fine by the second day 😊
ty so much doctors should be appriciated thank you
Got all 4 of mine out yesterday. Wasn’t too bad
Maximum amount of saliva comes in my mouth and it becomes difficult for me to sallow the saliva all the time
What should i do to recover this pain
I have extracted the lower left side wisdom teeth
Niranjan Rijal this would be a good thing to talk with your oral surgeon. But don’t spit too hard. You want to be gentle on the healing clot.
I have never felt more pain in my life... been so naueous the first week, kept throwing up and could not even sit up properly without feeling naueous. Now I am onto day 8... and I have aching jaw pain, my temple hurts.. extreme pain on wound area. No symptoms of dry socket though... idk what else to do
Did u go to the dentist?
My doctor extracted my 4 back teeth in one session yesterday.. Hopefully I feel way better now.. The procedure carried on with general anesthesia which was a nice idea from my doctor
Tyler good job. Glad it went well!
I'm nervous.... 😣😣😷🤕🤕
My feeling isn't restored 100%...It's a tightness in a area and it's like something wrong with my nerves....It's almost 2 years. The dr said the xray doesn't show nerve damage...he doesn't have a answer for me. This effects me talking😭
KINGS AND QUEENS nerve damage can happen during a wisdom tooth extraction. It can take years to heal and may never fully come back. Nerves are the worst healing tissue in our body.
What area do you feel tightness?
I’m on my 4th day after wisdom tooth removal at the bottom left, the swelling seemed to go down and I have really no pain, I have a little stiffness when opening my jaw but I do have a bad taste in mouth. I rinsed with salt water and brush my teeth on the middle and right side carefully. But still seems to come back hours later. Is this normal?
Zee H- sounds normal. If it bothers you, you can call your oral surgeon
On day 2 and I had all 4 removed. I feel a little discomfort and it’s hard to open my mouth. My breath smells pretty bad but i’m so scared to brush my teeth 😭. I heard dry socket hurts really bad so i’m terrified of going in and really cleaning anything.
Dxxd I'm glad the discomfort has been minimal. That is actually the most common result. But keep your teeth clean. It actually helps with healing.
Hey Doc just had all 4 of mine pulled 3 days ago. Started off on solid liquids and on day 3 feeling a lot better upgraded to chicken soup w/ veggies. Everything was soft and mushy for the most part and I can chew lightly w/ my front teeth. Not sure why tho all of a sudden at night I had a burst of blood come through my back bottom tooth area where extraction site is on the left side. Been rinsing my mouth for over an hour now and decided to use gauze again. Any idea what could’ve happened?
S Dot Possibly part of the blood clot came out. If there’s no pain or swelling there is nothing to worry about. But you can always call your oral surgeon and ask.
How long until you can eat normally again? It’s been a week and 1 day for me and I’ve been being careful with the foods I eat but i’m still having a little trouble eating. Is it okay to eat things like rice and suck out of straws after this time period?
Boony Boo yes at this point you can start eating normally. The blood clot is most delicate the first 48 hrs but if it has been over a week than you should be fine. If you're still feeling pain or are having trouble with your jaw you may want to contact your dentist.
Kantor Dental Group thank you so much!!!!!
Had my wisdom tooth removed I’m on day 3 a little sore these last couple days but no pain at all
I had a single Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extracted about 6 weeks ago. That was the easy part. I'm still suffering from jaw pain, swelling and headaches daily. I also developed Dry Socket. I follow up with my Dentist every week. The pain is decreasing each day, but I don't know of anyone who is still having symptoms 6 weeks after the procedure. The Surgeon is now considering cutting open the surgical area and cleaning it out to see if there is any infection or other issue. I certainly hope I don't have to go through that.
Did you fully recover in the end?

How do i go about not eating solid foods? I'm not a diabetic but I have another issue where I need to eat a good meal to feel ok. Eating banana or apple sauce doesn't do it for me. Can I still eat regular food that's easy to chew like fish on the next day??? It's still soft.
MmXtreme M yes you can eat soft food. Just try not to let the food go to the area where the wisdom teeth were removed.
This is worse than delivering a baby . Second day and after surgery and it’s still painful
Rashmi Kumarasinghe try some of the techniques I point out in this video. Like warm salt water gently. Ice packs. If it is still painful you can call your oral surgeon for advice.
Kantor Dental Group thank you and im doing as you mentioned.
I got 4 of mine out, and my throat hurts now, like, it hurts when i swallow. Hurts less when i drink water and swallow
Luweezy those symptoms sound normal. If they get worse, I would contact my oral surgeon.
Going to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed on the 16th of this month.. I am SO SCARED. Never done anything like this so I’m freaked out !!!
Makayla you can do it. Just be brave and it will be a lot easier than you think.
I experienced swelling after the surgery. It's 24 hours NOW after the surgery, is it okay to put ice or ice cap ? or do we only need to put a piece of ice right after the surgery?
up
Han reducing swelling is always a good idea. So yes icing will help as well as simply sitting up so your head is above your heart.
@@KantorDental ok doc :) it has been 48 hours now since my surgery, so later, I will put a cube of ice on the swollen part :)
Just had all 4 removed today, residue pain isn't really there at all, only when I swallow anything or adjust my mouth...
Frozen Sounds like everything is going well! Thanks for sharing
Is it normal to still have active bleeding (as opposed to oozing) nearly 60 hours after surgery?
Ashley Thomas I would call my oral surgeon at this point and have them take a look. Bleeding should not continue for that long.
Its day 4 after 4 wisdom teeth extractions yesterday the 3rd day was the worst face was swollen and super sore , only on ibuprofen and tylenol I said no to painkillers so I just have to suck it up buttercup. 2 things I'm worried about is it almost day 5 and still cant close my jaw to where my teeth close together like they normally do and it's been almost 5 days and last of course worried about dry socket since I had all 4 taken out , sleeping upright sucks so bad all I want to do is lay on my side but I cant , if your reading this and about to get wisdom teeth surgery the best things to do is saltwater syringe rinse the day after surgery every time you eat rinse, plenty of bags of peas to put in the freezer so you can hold them on your jaw and teeth the peas work best because they form around your area that's swollen , write down each time you rotate from tylonal and ibuprofen and keep your head elevated and last be patient it will end soon , I'm not a big smoker only 4 ciggs a day but haven't smoked since before surgery so I'm counting down a full 7 days until I get to smoke a full cigg then rinse mouth out with salt water and not to suck the cigg hard at all and limit myself to 1 to 2 ciggs a day and clean mouth soon as finished but dont smoke until atleast a full week of recovery, hope this info helped for future surgery goers and patients who are mild smokers like myself . Good luck you will be fine
Bryan Smith two things. Keeping in contact with your oral surgeon will be beneficial. Also daily cigarettes, no matter how few, slows healing.
@@KantorDental thank you for your response, one question it's been a little over a week now and I feel fine one side the stitches resolved while the other side still has them but no pain little tenderness at times but nothing bad but I'm going to keep doing saltwater rinses with the syringe several times a day and sleep upright and not on my side so when can I not worry about dry socket ?
for me im on almost 3 weeks now but still pain and swelling the gums on that particular area....so embarassing but im done taking a lot of medicine
Just had mine done 4 day I had alone of swelling it only went down on day four
I am happy . I am home!
Is my dentist after days after when I see him is he takin off the stitches is it gonna hurt when can I start eating hard food I been on soft for 4 days already
momof 2 these are definitely questions to ask your dentist
I am getting my two upper wisdom teeth removed (which are the only two wisdom teeth I have) in less than two weeks, and I am a little nervous about it.
seniorqueen08 I’m getting my top in a few hours ! Wish you luck !!
Extraction sites heal from bottom to top, if you have a piece of food stuck that light rinsing won't remove, leave it! I had all four of mine taken out one week ago, I didn't have any pain literally, just a slight discomfort
Bottom and top being? Bone jaw to gum?
And please please if you see this, I got all 4 teeth removed 2 days ago, but my mouth kinda stinks because I have tiny food particles there, how do I rinse it? Will it affect the healing process or cause inflammations?
*PLEAS HELP AN ANXIOUS HYGIENE-FREAKE LADY HERE* : 😭
I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago, but my mouth kinda stinks because I have tiny food particles stuck there, how do I rinse it? I can't brush properly cuz I can't open my mouth enough yet
I used salt and water but I can't rinse properly either since I dread the stitches may be affected.
MY QUESTION IS: *Will it affect the healing process or cause inflammations if I leave the food particles there?*
Esmeralda • I would suggest leaving them in there. Don’t mess with the surgical area at all. Don’t swish too hard and don’t create too much suction in your mouth. The food will exfoliate on its own.
@@KantorDental ok, I won't.
I was freaking out over it 😭
Now I feel at ease.
Thank you for replying so soon,
thank you thank you thank you thank you, muah 💕❤❤❤❤
Hello I have a question about anesthesia will you have some control of what you say or will you just blab what ever you are thinking in your head
The stuff they prescribed me is giving me a headache day three it doesn’t hurt to swallow or open and close my mouth.
Lizzie you don't have to take pain medication. Antibiotics however you do need to take the full course. Hope this helps and glad you aren't feeling pain anymore.
The only thing I’ve been doing differently is I had to do a couple lifestyle changes I stayed away from coffee I just rested the first two days a lot it’s really hard for me to take a nap. Plenty of ice cold water and cold Foods like Greek yogurt and smoothies.
Hi, I really appreciate your video guide, Thank you.
I have a question, It's possible to go back to the training (Running or Swimming) after 3 days of my Wisdom Teeth extraction?
Yecid Gustavo Romero Higuera I think it is definitely possible. It depends on the healing and what your oral surgeon told you. I wouldn't run or swim so hard that I got sore. You don't want your body to be repairing multiple areas at the same time.
@@KantorDental Thank you very much , I really appreciate your comments.
