Read through a lot of the comments. Bottom line is the dentists don't give patients the proper instructions. For all the dentists out there that think they are too busy: Shame on you. Do your job. This Dr. made a great video that helped a lot of people who obviously went to UA-cam looking for help.
Thanks buddy. It’s hilarious I guarantee 90% of our dentists didn’t explain anything to us or barely anything and this guy did it all in a measly 10 minutes like cmon dentists.
yeah, they are really bad hey. there needs to be more emphasis on *_yeah, im a dental surgeon, this is surgery? dont exercise, take a week off. you cant have any food for a week, & it's really bad if you dont follow these rules"_* -jc
My dentist explained squat to me. He extracted my teeth, I was swollen, bloody & in discomfort. How could I possibly ask any questions after the fact?? All he said was see you in 2 weeks, sent me on my way with no instructions - and left the room. I’m so grateful for this super informative video.
@@janiceberger4851 Same here. I got nothing but the bill. I learned more from this 10 minute video than anything from this dentist I'm going to. Makes me question my choice of Dr.....
I said to mine, NITROUS OXIDE PLEASE. She said, "not a problem we can do that." Moments later she is pulling and twisting on the bastard... and thus there I was for the next 15 minutes for her to get it out. I went to ask the assistant, "what happened to me getting nitrous?" She said, "Oh, I'm sorry but the doctor has already gone home.... I think maybe she was in a hurry."
I might add that she is really pretty, but DAMN, my socket is KILLING ME on day 6. THUS why I'm here. And I did EVERYTHING he said not to do above. I'm sure I have dry socket.
I think just with the super busy schedule of everyone in office makes it difficult for a dentist to take the time to go through everything in detail but they should all at least be giving you written instructions and I love this doctor’s idea here of a nice long video that he probably just refers his patients to.
@@sydney0909 i dunno about wisdom teeth but i had an infection in a regular tooth and the pain was way over a 10. When it got took out the pain barely went over 4
I completely agree. Terrible pain with infection and abscess. Hardly felt the extraction. I think if there is raging infection it can be hard to numb the area causing it to be very painful to remove the tooth.
Having just literally had a tooth taken out this goes way beyond what my dentist told me! Time to eat some cold pasta. When he said ''don't use a waterpik for 3 months'' I said, out loud to the screen ''3 months?!' and then he followed it with ''yep, 3 months''. Hilarious. 2 weeks on just barely warm food is going to be really tricky. Thanks for posting, best vid on this subject I've seen yet!
I had my tooth removed yesterday and though it was not my first rodeo, I guess like many people I go through youtube just in case. I did not know about avoiding acidic drinks. Last time I was stupid enough to damage the clot and developed a dry socket syndrome. It was a wild ride XD
*mine slid their hand under my shorts as i went under (it wasnt even mean to be a general! 1 tooth!). now ever since i woke up, my but hurts T_T.* tooth has healed gr8 tho, so what you going to do? theyre in network. _JC
this was SPOT on! Just had this procedure and everything you are saying makes perfect sense! Just trying to give you some "comment" love. Seriously, Great video!
I was terrified of having my 4 wisdom teeth cut out. So much so that I put it off for way longer than I’ll admit. However, I had it done last Thursday and I have had minimal pain since the day of surgery. I was shocked but grateful. Thank you for this video.
I've had 2 out. 1 was easy, the other one, the dentist thought he could pull it out. But after an hour of trying, he gave in and literally said "I think I bit off more than I can chew." Numbed me again, had me drive to the oral surgeon across town, and in about 3 seconds and a couple whizzes of a drill, done...easy peezy lol. Didn't have too bad of a recovery at all, went straight back to work with gauze in my mouth😂
When I had my wisdom teeth out they were under the gum and impacted. I had no pain yet. This was over 30 years ago but I remember they gave me 3 IV drugs, one was an anti inflammatory, one was for pain, another was the anesthesia. It was painless. I was just really tired for a little over 24 hours and slept most of the time. They gave me Percocet but I didn’t need any of it. After a few days all was normal- I could eat and drink anything no problem. Now, having a molar out soon that I’ve had all my life- I guess the healing will be different
I met my oral surgeon for the first time about 30 second's before the IV sedation hit me and when I woke up he was gone. The only after care instructions they gave me was a bare bones, single page print out. Thank you so much for this video!
"Expect to bleed in the first 24 hours, I just took out a tooth" Thank you for telling it like it is. I was worried about the bleeding for the first few hours after getting a wisdom tooth pulled, glad to know it's supposed to.
Wow I’m in the UK and had 2 teeth extracted a few weeks ago and was told none of this ,I was told to rinse my mouth out with warm salted water several times a day ,so thank you for such an informative video as I’ve to have another 2 teeth out in 2 weeks so I’ll follow this ❤️
I’m from the UK too & got the same advice as you. The dentist was fully aware I had dry socket in the past & was nervous about taking out the other tooth. Im on sat 2 post op & all seems to be well Thanks to UA-cam
Wish my dentist was this in depth, I went home and had warm tea and soup 🤦♀️ I'm only on day 3 though, I will definitely stick to your recommendations throughout the rest of my recovery 😊 thank you!
My dentist like most did not explain much. They did give me a piece of paper with minor instructions. This video is very informative and helpful, you give time frames for healing and for post-diet. I also appreciate the information about sutures. Thank you.
I'm on day 2 after having all 4 removed and they did intravenous anesthesia. I still have a lot of pain, I am still doing ice packs, drinking protein shakes, ice cream, and yogurt. Still taking in meds. And trying to rest as much as a college student can.
This is soooo thorough! Thank you doctor! I just had two extractions with bone grafting done today -- they gave me post-op instructions after but I was so overwhelmed with the procedure that I didn't retain a lot of it so I'm really glad I found your video. Thank you for being so thorough.
Me too i commented on another post their post op was the size of a stick it note. Didn’t even provide me with gauze so I’m bleeding all over my clothes because I can’t swallow all that blood just said cold compress no crunchy food take pain meds and get out of here. He would walk out of the room anytime I showed any kind of emotion or anxiety and basically was like we’ll finish when YOUR finished crying. I absolutely hate the dentist.
Super helpful information. I’m on day 2 post extraction and have pain. Since I’ve had a dry socket in the past, it was reassuring to hear you say that the first 3 days are going to “suck”. It’s a relief that my pain may be normal. I will monitor it, of course.😉
OMW! This video should be required viewing AT the oral surgeon's office and a link to it sent via email to each patient AFTER the extraction. Fabulous and necessary information. Thank you for providing such an informative and interesting video!
Best video on the subject ( look more than 20 videos). I made some mistakes that he talked about and paid a price as far as the healing time is concerned. Friends, do really follow to the letter, you have no idea what a nightmare is if you have a complication. Great video Doc, very detailed and broad explanation.
I absolutely love this. Additionally I was told by my surgeon no seeds like strawberries in smoothies - thank you for being brilliant and well spoken, as well as helpful!
I make a fruit smoothie with strawberries and blueberries, bananas, pineapple, peaches with pumpkin and coconut milk every day. What's wrong with berries!
@@Villanelle2k24 the surgeon told me seeds would get stuck in the surgical site. I had to wait a month to eat berries with small seeds. I stuck with milk, banana, kale, and mango. I'd still argue that small particles of any food could get stuck and infection should be avoided at all costs. I used the mouthwash syringe they gave me to flush out the area with prescription mouthwash.
@@lorettawills5926 thank you for replying! Sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good dentist- I’m myself worry as well about that. They want to put me the denture at the same time; that might hurt the gums. I don’t get why they do this 🥹
Love med pros who are blunt and empathetic. “It’s going to suck, I’m sorry” that’s all I need. As a patient if I know it’s normal, I’m fine. First 30 sec and I’m in.
This was excellent! It was thorough and clarifying. Thank you so much. THIS is the video that dentists should direct their patients to watch after any tooth extraction and bone graft. Thank you!
Thanks, Dr. Thousand. My dentist did not explain that to me as half as well as you did, especially the three months period with soft diet and no site touching with the bone graft. God bless you a lot and you are a great doctor!
In case it is useful to someone: if you get nausea or vomit from your pain killers, let your doctor know ASAP so they can give you the right prescription... It happened to me and I waited two days of not being able to eat at all and being nauseous... It was as simple to solve as contacting my dentist and getting the right meds for me
Thank you so much!!!! This is excellent and provides me some peace of mind about what is going to happen after the extraction and bone graft. Had no idea about 90% of this information. Very helpful!
This is very helpful thank you!! I got two extractions today and I feel great! Finally these two molars have been removed and I’m no longer is pain! Having only cold for the first 24 hours have helped because I don’t feel extremely swollen. 😁
Since I started listening, I was surprised dr is explaining everything detailed. I just extracted tooth yesterday. I have to take a note because sometimes I think it’s okay but it’s not okay
Thank you. This was the best video I viewed after my tooth extraction today. Didn’t half a lot of fluff. Checked out a half dozen. Covered all the questions I had.
So nice to see this. I had 24 teeth extracted. I was only told a few of these. Thank you so much for posting this information. You are so appreciated. My face is so swollen and bruised. I’m still in shock. I have an appointment today. The temporary dentures they gave my just float around in my mouth.
@@WayPastCool , they still float.. the swelling is going down but the bruising is gnarly. I don’t wear the dentures because if I did, no talking, drinking or eating.. I’m thinking about taking them back and saying , call me when they fit. In 4 to 6 months I get the permanent implants. This has been a big process. Thank you for asking. 😊
@@kymberwolfe4193 I see! How come it's going to take possibly up to 6 months for you to get the implants? My dad recently got all his teeth removed and implants in in 1 day
I had been taking turmeric capsules for more than a week before (including the night before) the tooth extraction+bone grafting and I had No pain after the surgery, No swelling, and it healed very nicely! (for the ladies) I continued taking turmeric, and my period caught me by surprise, whereas usually I get cramps as a warning sign that it's starting. I usually am rendered useless for at least 2 days during that time, but this time it was painless the whole time, with just a hint of cramps 😆 Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, the capsules include pepper, which helps your body absorb the turmeric 😉
Got all 4 wisdom teeth out last week Friday.. so far I’m feeling fine but make sure you rinse mouth with warm salt water after eating. It helps a lot👍🏻
Im actually on The 10th hour with no pain, tooth pulled at 11am and is currently 9pm. Either the meds hit the spot or my body is just weird. I put a gauze for 30mins, then another after for another 30mins... haven't bled since... not even a bit.... so far so good. We'll see tomorrow
Thank you for such detailed visual instruction. This video is very helpful. I agree with some comments below. Many dentists who perform our oral surgery do not in fact provide these details. So, thank you again to Dr. John Thousand for this helpful video!
This video answered all the questions I've been googling all day since realizing I have a dry socket. My dentist didn't give me any post extraction care instructions. I think he forgot. Lol. Now I realize that I shouldn't have gone to work (waitress) 3 hours after an extraction. Apparently, never having any issues with my wisdom teeth extractions and 2 other extractions with no issues does not mean that I'll never have b issues with every tooth. 😒I also now know people aren't bsing about how bad the socket hurts! This has been painful enough that I think it got me to quit smoking.
Girl same, I went to work 4 hours after & I instruct kickboxing 😲 I’m on day 5 of recovery, hoping I don’t get dry socket because I’ve been working every day since then. Mouth is a little achy. He definitely was informative! Because I want a beer lol!
Wow one of the most comprehensive set of advices and instructions I've come across on the internet. I'm going to have my Wisdom tooth extracted. The Post-Op care is so very important for the healing to take place, while ensuring no infection happens. This is really going to help. Thanks a ton. 👍
Thanks so much! I had the root on my #13 tooth removed today. It had a root canal but it fell. The Dr cut my gums to get the root out and did the bone graft. He just said take Tylenol if needed. Ive never experienced so much pain in my life. The throbbing and burning is driving me crazy. I took Tylenol 3 and still going thru the worst pain ever.
I had an extraction and bone graft and, honestly, I am a little shocked at how little pain and swelling I've had. NONE of this was told to me. I was just told to eat soft food for a few days like mashed potatoes. Its day three abs I noticed hard particles in my mouth when I woke up. I'm hoping I didnt screw up the graft!
Thank you so very much Dr. John W. Thousand it has been of such great help to have listened to your post-op guide. My dentist did not go into details like you have and I greatly appreciated it! I had an extraction with a bone graph and I was not expecting it to have happened when I went in to be seen. I was coming in to get a crown replaced with the possibility of a fracture.
I’m based in the UK & wasn’t advised half the things mentioned. Had my wisdom tooth out 2 days ago. So far so good, but I’ll be following your advise going forward, so thank you.
I just had an impacted bottom right wisdom tooth removed and I don’t have any swelling on my face. My anesthesia just wore off, so my face is no longer numb. The numbness lasted 4-5hrs after surgery. My lips were a little swollen but not my face, but my face was actually swollen two days before surgery because I had pus coming out of my gum area around my tooth. Surgery lasted around30-45minutes. Didn’t wanted to take any antibiotics because my stomach is sensitive and told the doctor and the nurse told me to just make sure to take probiotics with the antibiotics and to even drink the activia probiotic smoothies for an extra boost for my gut health. I’m actually really happy that she was caring enough to tell me how antibiotics also hurt her stomach as well and how she kept telling me over and over to take lots of probiotics with the antibiotics. So I will be drinking my probiotic smoothies, jello, rice pudding and ice cream and will be adding bone broth collagen powder to my probiotic smoothies as another extra boost for my gut health. Wouldn’t want to get a leaky gut or something.
Thank you. This is very informative. I was told by my periodontist post op instructions, while he was suturing me up, but this video is exactly what I need to see and hear.
Thank you so much for the recommendations it's my first experience of wisdom tooth extraction and since it happened I've been an emotional reck and people think I'm over exaggerating how I feel it's so hard to give up a part of u that's been with u for the past 36 years within minutes I just keep apologizing to it and saying I tried to keep you but things got out of hand ❤
I'm about to get extractions and bone grafting on both sides of my mouth. I'm so thankful I found this video, or I'd probably get an infection within the first day.
I must be lucky I got this done with extensive bone graft. I didnt have any pain or bleeding issue didnt even take any pain medicine. Next procedure is dental implant hopefully everything will be as smooth as the extraction and bone graft process.
I have to have my three front teeth removed because of an impact trauma event. This was incredibly detailed and has helped me prepare for my appointment. Thank you again Dr !
@@K.A.T_klimtsmuse So my journey has been 9months. It's been long, it's been hard, it's been up and down..BUT the day is here and I will have my implants TOMORROW! So I had my three front teeth removed with bone grafting. That took three months to heal, then I had the implants placed. Then I had to wait for three more months for that surgery to heal. Finally this past March I had the ok from my periodontist that I am ready for my teeth. But the reason it took so long was it took three weeks for my teeth to actually get made. The other thing that has been the most annoying is wearing a denture for this entire time. But I would do this process all over again to have a functional mouth. It was difficult but you can do it ! The end result is all I could think about to help push me through the hard moments.
@@K.A.T_klimtsmuse The Implant surgery is a breeze compared to the removal. The removal is brutal and bloody, and painful lol but that goes away in the first few days. Honestly how I lost my teeth was worse compared to all these surgeries. Like I said I would do it all over again in order to restore my smile. Good luck to you and I promise it goes by quick, just remember at the end of all of it... You get brand new teeth !
@@ninarenee3956 you are brave! I admire you! they told me the bones takes like 6 months in growing and im very depressed my extraction is this Friday and are 2 upper side molars. Your bone took 9 months ?
@@K.A.T_klimtsmuse Thank you, it's funny when people say this because.. I just have to do it you know ? But I guess I have been pretty brave lol unfortunately my crowns weren't the right shade and I'm still on my flipper/denture. It's so annoying but I'd rather the crowns be perfect! So the entire thing took 9 months from extraction/bone grafting to implant surgery to healing then to where I am now which is ready for the crowns/teeth. I am 29, so my age could have had a factor in why my healing went quickly. Everyone is different and when this first happened my dentist said this whole process could take a year or even longer! Thankfully I had an amazing periodontist. He took care of the extraction/bone grafting and implant surgery. Since my case was so special I needed an expert who could make sure everything was done perfect since it's my three upper front teeth. My mother in law just had her back molar implants done and it took her two years because it was in the middle of Covid and she had to have her implant posts redone! But she has her crowns now and can comfortably eat normally again! I know the extraction part is scary but your mouth does heal quickly so the first few days are gonna suck. But after that, every day gets better! And the implant surgery is a breeze compared to the extraction! WAY less blood 🫣
BIG time shout out to you. My experience could’ve been better. Upon leaving the Prosthodontists briefly spoke with verbal instruction about pain med. and so as soon as I walked out I realize I was left with (?) and went bk in asked & ‘twas then given the follow up instructions. I seriously wish your tutorial UA-cam video was what I would’ve been given.since I’m a complicated people in a blessed simple world. Also wish you were the one to have done my painful procedure cause I felt uncomfortable with personal conversation during my procedure only cause I was wondering why now, why not on break. As for you, B-bless, & keep up the great job.
MINE DID THE SAME THING.... LMAO. I asked for nitrous, she said, OKAY, we can do that, and within 3 minutes she had the bastard with her plyers twisting and pulling. GOOD LORD, then came that chisel tool, and the pry bar tool that goes all the way up in, and up under the root tip, and they pry. Don't EVER look at the tools when done, there was blood everywhere.
Tehehe. Same here... but then I AM in a foreign country. MUCH cheaper. I've had molar root canals for 200. Crown around 50. Currently getting 5 implants and a post/crown done for less than 2000 (with 3D x-ray). Had three already implanted 8 days ago and today had two extracted and Xenograft filled.
I really could have used this information two weeks ago, and that might have prevented me having dry socket for the past 2 weeks!😢 I got like three sentences of instructions only, and no pain medication (even after I had to return to his office every three days).
I wish you were my surgeon. I wasn't told much about anything about the care and I have a terrible infection. The oral surgery won't even do a follow up on me!! I had a tooth infection and now it's worse.
Thank you so much for your lengthy video. You did a much better job at explaining post op carr than my dental surgeon did. Very informative and I felt safe in knowing what to do after viewing.

Thank you so much Dr John Thousand IV. Your video should be watched by all the patients before having the tooth extraction(s). Your video provided all the informations needed to know. I wish that I had come across your video sooner, the day before Day 1, but being late by Day 3 is still great. Your video is greatly appreciated.
So glad I found this! The dental assistant told me not much pain! Wowzer she was lying lol The 2nd day was way worse! Hoping today is going to be better!
Going for my last wisdom tooth extraction tomorrow! (impacted in my jaw for longer than anyone should live with) Wow - this was soooo INFORMATIVE. The temp of the food for the first 2 weeks surprised me. I’ll see if my own dentist tells me the same tomorrow. 😢 I’m so scared.
The best video out there for information. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm on day 5 after having my impacted wisdom teeth removed as well as some jaw bone.
How are you feeling? I have to get two out like yours with bone removal, one on each side;(? Doctor said that I am going to be very swollen and 3% chances risk of nerve damage,..ahhhh
I got my wisdom teeth pulled out 6 hours ago. I don’t feel any pain and my face is slightly swollen. Worst part of this is that I can’t eat anything besides soup. Despite feeling well though, one should still practice extreme caution
Sensible video thanks! In NL where I live , they gave me zero sedation, only local anaesthetic and my horizontal wisdom tooth needed to be chopped in 4 pieces and I could feel the nerve being cut it was so awful I was screaming and crying by the end. Embarrassing

I’m from the UK too & got the same advice as you. The dentist was fully aware I had dry socket in the past & was nervous about taking out the other tooth. Im on sat 2 post op & all seems to be well Thanks to UA-cam
Wish my dentist was this in depth, I went home and had warm tea and soup 🤦♀️ I'm only on day 3 though, I will definitely stick to your recommendations throughout the rest of my recovery 😊 thank you!
4 hours after surgery, it hurts.
same, they went over stuff so quick before the anesthetics so i can barely remember anything lol
Why are some Drs so damn stupid???
My dentist like most did not explain much. They did give me a piece of paper with minor instructions. This video is very informative and helpful, you give time frames for healing and for post-diet. I also appreciate the information about sutures. Thank you.
I just had my removed today ALL 4!!! Thank you so much this video is going to help me with my healing process.
Did they give you general anesthesia? My doctor is recommending me to do a one side first.
How was your healing process? I’m laying in bed right now after my surgery. Pain and discomfort of course.
I just had one taken out and feels pretty bad, can't imagine all 4 at once wow
I'm on day 2 after having all 4 removed and they did intravenous anesthesia. I still have a lot of pain, I am still doing ice packs, drinking protein shakes, ice cream, and yogurt. Still taking in meds. And trying to rest as much as a college student can.
@@arizonawidener1316 How are you now? I'm a college student too and about to undergo 4 premolar extractions.
I absolutely love the straight and to the point in this video. No second guessing himself or sugar coating what should or should not be done! 👍
other dentists should learn from this guy. this video saved my life.
This is soooo thorough! Thank you doctor! I just had two extractions with bone grafting done today -- they gave me post-op instructions after but I was so overwhelmed with the procedure that I didn't retain a lot of it so I'm really glad I found your video. Thank you for being so thorough.
Update?
Me too i commented on another post their post op was the size of a stick it note. Didn’t even provide me with gauze so I’m bleeding all over my clothes because I can’t swallow all that blood just said cold compress no crunchy food take pain meds and get out of here. He would walk out of the room anytime I showed any kind of emotion or anxiety and basically was like we’ll finish when YOUR finished crying. I absolutely hate the dentist.
Exactly the same operation I had today lol, did it go ok? How was the pain after the first day?
Super helpful information. I’m on day 2 post extraction and have pain. Since I’ve had a dry socket in the past, it was reassuring to hear you say that the first 3 days are going to “suck”. It’s a relief that my pain may be normal. I will monitor it, of course.😉
I've been lucky to avoid dry socket so far, I've heard it really really hurts.
OMW! This video should be required viewing AT the oral surgeon's office and a link to it sent via email to each patient AFTER the extraction. Fabulous and necessary information. Thank you for providing such an informative and interesting video!
Best video on the subject ( look more than 20 videos). I made some mistakes that he talked about and paid a price as far as the healing time is concerned. Friends, do really follow to the letter, you have no idea what a nightmare is if you have a complication. Great video Doc, very detailed and broad explanation.
Best explanation I've ever seen on UA-cam about caring for the site of a pulled tooth.
I absolutely love this. Additionally I was told by my surgeon no seeds like strawberries in smoothies - thank you for being brilliant and well spoken, as well as helpful!
I make a fruit smoothie with strawberries and blueberries, bananas, pineapple, peaches with pumpkin and coconut milk every day. What's wrong with berries!
@@Villanelle2k24 seeds might get stuck no other issues
@@Villanelle2k24 the surgeon told me seeds would get stuck in the surgical site. I had to wait a month to eat berries with small seeds. I stuck with milk, banana, kale, and mango. I'd still argue that small particles of any food could get stuck and infection should be avoided at all costs. I used the mouthwash syringe they gave me to flush out the area with prescription mouthwash.

Thank you, just had a bone graft done today and your instructions were very clear... Happy Smiles Everyday Everyone😁
Did it hurt?? I will get mine this week
@SweetGirl4ver Hi, it did not hurt, but I did not have a great dentist. All the best...
@@lorettawills5926 thank you for replying! Sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good dentist- I’m myself worry as well about that. They want to put me the denture at the same time; that might hurt the gums. I don’t get why they do this 🥹
Thanks for this video ! Very informative. Just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted this past Friday. Healing really well so far !
I’m so glad I came here. Today is day 14 after my extraction. This explains so much that I wasn’t told. Thanks.
Love med pros who are blunt and empathetic. “It’s going to suck, I’m sorry” that’s all I need. As a patient if I know it’s normal, I’m fine. First 30 sec and I’m in.
I love this video, I wish dentists will give a paper with all of this instructions. You are amazing!!!!!
My dentist did not explain any of this to me😪
Thank you so much for this information 👏🏾
This should be the required explanation by all dentists
This was excellent! It was thorough and clarifying. Thank you so much. THIS is the video that dentists should direct their patients to watch after any tooth extraction and bone graft. Thank you!
Thanks, Dr. Thousand. My dentist did not explain that to me as half as well as you did, especially the three months period with soft diet and no site touching with the bone graft. God bless you a lot and you are a great doctor!
In case it is useful to someone: if you get nausea or vomit from your pain killers, let your doctor know ASAP so they can give you the right prescription... It happened to me and I waited two days of not being able to eat at all and being nauseous... It was as simple to solve as contacting my dentist and getting the right meds for me
Thank you so much!!!! This is excellent and provides me some peace of mind about what is going to happen after the extraction and bone graft. Had no idea about 90% of this information. Very helpful!
This is very helpful thank you!! I got two extractions today and I feel great! Finally these two molars have been removed and I’m no longer is pain! Having only cold for the first 24 hours have helped because I don’t feel extremely swollen. 😁
Since I started listening, I was surprised dr is explaining everything detailed. I just extracted tooth yesterday. I have to take a note because sometimes I think it’s okay but it’s not okay
Thank you. This was the best video I viewed after my tooth extraction today. Didn’t half a lot of fluff. Checked out a half dozen. Covered all the questions I had.
Thank you so much. I get 3 of my wisdom teeth done today. You helped calm down my anxiety.
It didnt hurt guys!! Im healing nicely 🎉don’t be scared! Just follow these instructions
Just had my lower wisdom teeth removed. This is the most helpful video I’ve seen 👍🏼
So nice to see this. I had 24 teeth extracted. I was only told a few of these. Thank you so much for posting this information. You are so appreciated. My face is so swollen and bruised. I’m still in shock. I have an appointment today. The temporary dentures they gave my just float around in my mouth.
any update with you?
@@WayPastCool , they still float.. the swelling is going down but the bruising is gnarly. I don’t wear the dentures because if I did, no talking, drinking or eating.. I’m thinking about taking them back and saying , call me when they fit. In 4 to 6 months I get the permanent implants. This has been a big process. Thank you for asking. 😊
@@kymberwolfe4193 I see! How come it's going to take possibly up to 6 months for you to get the implants? My dad recently got all his teeth removed and implants in in 1 day
@@WayPastCool .. I wish I had an answer for you. 🤷🏼♀️
@@kymberwolfe4193 I hope it only takes you 4 months😭
I had been taking turmeric capsules for more than a week before (including the night before) the tooth extraction+bone grafting and I had No pain after the surgery, No swelling, and it healed very nicely!
(for the ladies)
I continued taking turmeric, and my period caught me by surprise, whereas usually I get cramps as a warning sign that it's starting. I usually am rendered useless for at least 2 days during that time, but this time it was painless the whole time, with just a hint of cramps 😆
Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, the capsules include pepper, which helps your body absorb the turmeric 😉
i got min e pulled 4 hours ago..should i go ba ck on turmeric ?
Wonderful advice young lady!
I legit thought this was a parody at first, but the fact that it's not makes it ten times better.
Got all 4 wisdom teeth out last week Friday.. so far I’m feeling fine but make sure you rinse mouth with warm salt water after eating. It helps a lot👍🏻
Im actually on The 10th hour with no pain, tooth pulled at 11am and is currently 9pm. Either the meds hit the spot or my body is just weird. I put a gauze for 30mins, then another after for another 30mins... haven't bled since... not even a bit.... so far so good. We'll see tomorrow
That’s nice!!🎉 congrats!
If you want to lose weight I highly recommend getting your wisdom teeth out!! 7 pounds down in 7 days! 😂👌
ffs, I need to gain weight
@@Mrswedish10 lots of carbs and sugar and big portions should do the trick lol!
Try 8 teeth 🦷 in one go. Entire upper row. Nothing but jello, mash and smoothies
omg i feel like i have been fasting for 4 days!!!!
Seriously! I’m on day 4 and can’t eat anything. Mostly because I’m worried anything will get stuck lol
Thank you for such detailed visual instruction. This video is very helpful. I agree with some comments below. Many dentists who perform our oral surgery do not in fact provide these details. So, thank you again to Dr. John Thousand for this helpful video!
This video answered all the questions I've been googling all day since realizing I have a dry socket. My dentist didn't give me any post extraction care instructions. I think he forgot. Lol.
Now I realize that I shouldn't have gone to work (waitress) 3 hours after an extraction. Apparently, never having any issues with my wisdom teeth extractions and 2 other extractions with no issues does not mean that I'll never have b issues with every tooth. 😒I also now know people aren't bsing about how bad the socket hurts! This has been painful enough that I think it got me to quit smoking.
Girl same, I went to work 4 hours after & I instruct kickboxing 😲 I’m on day 5 of recovery, hoping I don’t get dry socket because I’ve been working every day since then. Mouth is a little achy. He definitely was informative! Because I want a beer lol!
Wow one of the most comprehensive set of advices and instructions I've come across on the internet. I'm going to have my Wisdom tooth extracted. The Post-Op care is so very important for the healing to take place, while ensuring no infection happens. This is really going to help. Thanks a ton. 👍
This was one of the best video I watched about what to do after tooth removal!
Thanks so much! I had the root on my #13 tooth removed today. It had a root canal but it fell. The Dr cut my gums to get the root out and did the bone graft. He just said take Tylenol if needed.
Ive never experienced so much pain in my life. The throbbing and burning is driving me crazy. I took Tylenol 3 and still going thru the worst pain ever.
This will be very helpful when I get my wisdom teeth removed. Just doing my research beforehand so that as t way I'm prepared
best dentist on youtube,actually going to sleep tonight after listening to this 🤲
I had an extraction and bone graft and, honestly, I am a little shocked at how little pain and swelling I've had.
NONE of this was told to me. I was just told to eat soft food for a few days like mashed potatoes. Its day three abs I noticed hard particles in my mouth when I woke up. I'm hoping I didnt screw up the graft!
Did you??
wasur tooth infected?
Hands down most thorough and detailed post op . My surgeon and the dental assistant didn’t event explain this well
Thank you so very much Dr. John W. Thousand it has been of such great help to have listened to your post-op guide. My dentist did not go into details like you have and I greatly appreciated it! I had an extraction with a bone graph and I was not expecting it to have happened when I went in to be seen. I was coming in to get a crown replaced with the possibility of a fracture.
Thanks for posting this, because my dentist told me NOTHING.
Thank you! I have a procedure coming up next week and there are several points you've made that were not in my instruction sheet from my dentist.
Best video out there. He explains everything. Loved it. This Doctor is great.
This was perfection. I save this video . It was so thorough. Thank you Dr. Thousand
I’m based in the UK & wasn’t advised half the things mentioned. Had my wisdom tooth out 2 days ago. So far so good, but I’ll be following your advise going forward, so thank you.
That's a fine looking doctor. He can extract my teeth any time.
Tehehe, and given his name... He really is one in a Thousand...
He can extract my 🍪
@@dinajones2761 😭😭
I just had an impacted bottom right wisdom tooth removed and I don’t have any swelling on my face. My anesthesia just wore off, so my face is no longer numb. The numbness lasted 4-5hrs after surgery. My lips were a little swollen but not my face, but my face was actually swollen two days before surgery because I had pus coming out of my gum area around my tooth. Surgery lasted around30-45minutes. Didn’t wanted to take any antibiotics because my stomach is sensitive and told the doctor and the nurse told me to just make sure to take probiotics with the antibiotics and to even drink the activia probiotic smoothies for an extra boost for my gut health. I’m actually really happy that she was caring enough to tell me how antibiotics also hurt her stomach as well and how she kept telling me over and over to take lots of probiotics with the antibiotics. So I will be drinking my probiotic smoothies, jello, rice pudding and ice cream and will be adding bone broth collagen powder to my probiotic smoothies as another extra boost for my gut health. Wouldn’t want to get a leaky gut or something.
Thank you. This is very informative. I was told by my periodontist post op instructions, while he was suturing me up, but this video is exactly what I need to see and hear.
Thank you so much for the recommendations it's my first experience of wisdom tooth extraction and since it happened I've been an emotional reck and people think I'm over exaggerating how I feel it's so hard to give up a part of u that's been with u for the past 36 years within minutes I just keep apologizing to it and saying I tried to keep you but things got out of hand ❤
I just had a tooth removed and I feel the exact way. I feel like I'm grieving the loss of my tooth along with dealing with the physical pain.
I love this guy, quite detailed. Thank you
I'm about to get extractions and bone grafting on both sides of my mouth. I'm so thankful I found this video, or I'd probably get an infection within the first day.
Outstanding explanation, and very reassuring too!! Thank you very much Dr. Thousand!
I must be lucky I got this done with extensive bone graft. I didnt have any pain or bleeding issue didnt even take any pain medicine. Next procedure is dental implant hopefully everything will be as smooth as the extraction and bone graft process.
I have to have my three front teeth removed because of an impact trauma event. This was incredibly detailed and has helped me prepare for my appointment.
Thank you again Dr !
@@K.A.T_klimtsmuse So my journey has been 9months. It's been long, it's been hard, it's been up and down..BUT the day is here and I will have my implants TOMORROW!
So I had my three front teeth removed with bone grafting. That took three months to heal, then I had the implants placed. Then I had to wait for three more months for that surgery to heal. Finally this past March I had the ok from my periodontist that I am ready for my teeth. But the reason it took so long was it took three weeks for my teeth to actually get made. The other thing that has been the most annoying is wearing a denture for this entire time.
But I would do this process all over again to have a functional mouth.
It was difficult but you can do it ! The end result is all I could think about to help push me through the hard moments.
these were also my three front upper teeth btw
@@K.A.T_klimtsmuse The Implant surgery is a breeze compared to the removal. The removal is brutal and bloody, and painful lol but that goes away in the first few days.
Honestly how I lost my teeth was worse compared to all these surgeries. Like I said I would do it all over again in order to restore my smile.
Good luck to you and I promise it goes by quick, just remember at the end of all of it... You get brand new teeth !
@@ninarenee3956 you are brave! I admire you! they told me the bones takes like 6 months in growing and im very depressed my extraction is this Friday and are 2 upper side molars. Your bone took 9 months ?
@@K.A.T_klimtsmuse Thank you, it's funny when people say this because.. I just have to do it you know ? But I guess I have been pretty brave lol unfortunately my crowns weren't the right shade and I'm still on my flipper/denture. It's so annoying but I'd rather the crowns be perfect!
So the entire thing took 9 months from extraction/bone grafting to implant surgery to healing then to where I am now which is ready for the crowns/teeth.
I am 29, so my age could have had a factor in why my healing went quickly. Everyone is different and when this first happened my dentist said this whole process could take a year or even longer! Thankfully I had an amazing periodontist. He took care of the extraction/bone grafting and implant surgery. Since my case was so special I needed an expert who could make sure everything was done perfect since it's my three upper front teeth.
My mother in law just had her back molar implants done and it took her two years because it was in the middle of Covid and she had to have her implant posts redone! But she has her crowns now and can comfortably eat normally again!
I know the extraction part is scary but your mouth does heal quickly so the first few days are gonna suck. But after that, every day gets better! And the implant surgery is a breeze compared to the extraction! WAY less blood 🫣
BIG time shout out to you.
My experience could’ve been better. Upon leaving the Prosthodontists briefly spoke with verbal instruction about pain med. and so as soon as I walked out I realize I was left with (?) and went bk in asked & ‘twas then given the follow up instructions. I seriously wish your tutorial UA-cam video was what I would’ve been given.since I’m a complicated people in a blessed simple world. Also wish you were the one to have done my painful procedure cause I felt uncomfortable with personal conversation during my procedure only cause I was wondering why now, why not on break.
As for you, B-bless, & keep up the great job.
I'm watching this because my doctor rushed me out the chair because he was running late and gave me zero instructions.
MINE DID THE SAME THING.... LMAO. I asked for nitrous, she said, OKAY, we can do that, and within 3 minutes she had the bastard with her plyers twisting and pulling. GOOD LORD, then came that chisel tool, and the pry bar tool that goes all the way up in, and up under the root tip, and they pry. Don't EVER look at the tools when done, there was blood everywhere.
Same
I have a tooth extraction yesterday and I'm right at job.
I feel the pain only the first day.
I have my antibiotics and ibuprofen.
Great video, I got more information here than from my dentist 🦷 And yes the first 24 hours hurt!
Tehehe. Same here... but then I AM in a foreign country.
MUCH cheaper.
I've had molar root canals for 200. Crown around 50.
Currently getting 5 implants and a post/crown done for less than 2000 (with 3D x-ray). Had three already implanted 8 days ago and today had two extracted and Xenograft filled.
I really could have used this information two weeks ago, and that might have prevented me having dry socket for the past 2 weeks!😢
I got like three sentences of instructions only, and no pain medication (even after I had to return to his office every three days).
I wish you were my surgeon. I wasn't told much about anything about the care and I have a terrible infection. The oral surgery won't even do a follow up on me!! I had a tooth infection and now it's worse.
Thank you so much for your lengthy video. You did a much better job at explaining post op carr than my dental surgeon did. Very informative and I felt safe in knowing what to do after viewing.
Very helpful. I'm getting all mine out with bone grafting on Tuesday (2 days away). I'll try to update this.
I hope everything goes well Karen I just had a terrible wisdom tooth out on Saturday... 🤯🙏🏽💕

Thank you so much Dr John Thousand IV. Your video should be watched by all the patients before having the tooth extraction(s). Your video provided all the informations needed to know. I wish that I had come across your video sooner, the day before Day 1, but being late by Day 3 is still great. Your video is greatly appreciated.
Great information! Much more detailed and specific than the sheet I was given post extraction. Thank you!
So glad I found this! The dental assistant told me not much pain! Wowzer she was lying lol The 2nd day was way worse! Hoping today is going to be better!
it's my second day and Im swollen like a pear, it is getting worse indeed
Surprisingly I just got both my wisdom teeth pulled from each side and I did not have any swelling
Same I barely have any swelling and I got all 4 out
Going for my last wisdom tooth extraction tomorrow! (impacted in my jaw for longer than anyone should live with) Wow - this was soooo INFORMATIVE. The temp of the food for the first 2 weeks surprised me. I’ll see if my own dentist tells me the same tomorrow. 😢 I’m so scared.
The best video out there for information. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm on day 5 after having my impacted wisdom teeth removed as well as some jaw bone.
How are you feeling? I have to get two out like yours with bone removal, one on each side;(? Doctor said that I am going to be very swollen and 3% chances risk of nerve damage,..ahhhh
Very informative and helpful. Have a broken tooth, half fell out, no pain, everything seems fine. I can take it from here with this info.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled out 6 hours ago. I don’t feel any pain and my face is slightly swollen. Worst part of this is that I can’t eat anything besides soup. Despite feeling well though, one should still practice extreme caution
I just watched so many videos before I got to this one and I have to say it does such a great job explaining everything! Thank you so much!!
Great and this is what I have been looking for. Thanks for the upload.
Only 1 minute in and I already trust this guy
Great video! Thank you Doc! Just had a molar out so this was indeed comprehensive
Sweet he thought of his patients. Wish my Dr had made me watch something like this.
I just got back from getting 4 wisdom teeth pulled I recommend the twilight zone option
Still such good information, even 6 years later! May, 2024 Thank you. Just had all 9 of my uppers taken out.
Sensible video thanks! In NL where I live , they gave me zero sedation, only local anaesthetic and my horizontal wisdom tooth needed to be chopped in 4 pieces and I could feel the nerve being cut it was so awful I was screaming and crying by the end. Embarrassing
But u had anesthesia so there wasnt supposed to be any pain, why did u cry?
@@pabelcontreras3461 It didn't work properly, I don't know why. I could feel the drill. Fucking awful.
@@M9Diry Damn that sucks, I just got mine removed and my mouth tastes like a corpse lol, no pain tho
I just had a tooth extraction today and this was very good info
I rinse very lightly the first night didn’t know I had to wait 24 hours after
