  • Hey guys! After your wisdom teeth surgery, here are some useful tips & demonstrations of things you should be prepared for from comfort to eating & drinking, oral hygiene, DIY ice pack holder, and more.*
    Additional comment(s):
    - Looking back, this wasn’t clear in the video: it is recommended to alternate between using ice packs and taking breaks without them in intervals. Ex: 15-20 minutes using ice packs and then 15-20 min without ice packs before using them again, I found it easier to rotate packs in and out of the freezer to do so after times were up. (Shout out to Anahi for pointing this out!)
    If you still have time to get the special ice packs, here are some options:
    - Blue: amzn.to/3ahBJkB (with 4 reusable packs)
    - Black neoprene: amzn.to/3qglB8h (with 4 reusable packs)
    - Blue: amzn.to/3pctOsV (more basic doesn't come with extra packs)

      Just got mine out 4 days ago and got all 4 out and tbh it wasn’t bad at all. I didn’t take any of the painkillers and just stay with Advil and the amoxicillin and we’re all good not swollen anymore and hopefully the stitches dissolve soon

    Just wanted to put this here
    Got mine out 2 weeks ago, surgery, fully sedated with an IV, the only pain I had was the prick from the IV, LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE
    As soon as I got home from the hospital, I ate ice cream and drank pain meds even before the anesthesia wore off, that way the pain doesn't have a chance to even set in
    So tbh, I had absolutely no pain, sure there's discomfort from a swollen face and all yeah, but no pain
    So don't be terrified, stay on top of your pain meds and use ice packs regularly
    It really isn't that bad, the worst part is just craving foods you can't eat for a few days and sleeping on your back for a few nights, nothing else
    Hopefully this eases a few of your minds since I read a few horror stories in this comment section 😂

      I agree with you. Idk why people would wait for their numbing to go away. That is a terrible decision. I got one upper impacted wisdom tooth removed. I took my pain medication before my numbing wear off. Always stay consistent with the pain medication and antibiotics. The only discomfort is the stitches and not being able to eat. It wasnt that bad for me also.
      I just really hope my next appointment is this easy also. I need to do iv sedated this time to remove my bottom impacted wisdom tooths.

      I had mine take out yesterday
      But for some reason nobody in my family has ever had problems including me
      I just ignore it
      It's not bad
      My tip is to swish and spit saltwater after you eat anything in order to clean the leftover food out(helps avoid infection)
      I didn't get any prescription medicine and I take about 6 ibuprofen a day to help me ignore it while I eat
      This girl had it bad I guess because I had pizza doughnuts and ramen today and the night I had my surgery I was able to eat ramen and a chicken burrito
      Also make sure your head is always above your heart especially when your sleeping
      Helps with swelling
      Idk I can't really relate to the sickness she described
      I have just been living my life as usual

    Just had mine out today and I had anesthesia and it was so painless! If you can opt for the iv because it's 100% worth it and it feels amazing after 😂 if my expectation of the surgery was a 100 as being bad and scary, the reality was 0.01. The only thing that hurt was the needle in my arm. And I don't even remember when I knocked out- its mind boggling! I also took the advice of my friend and didn't take any pain meds because the side effects were worse than the actual pain which is very minimal. So if you're scared and your getting anesthesia, you have no reason to it's the easiest thing in the world.

    I'm currently recovering on day 2. I went the route of pill sedation that my dentist offered. It turned out to be a complicated surgery because of impacted teeth but everything turned out pretty well. The first day there was much barfing but I got antinausea meds to counteract it and was told to take only half and so far I am keeping down my peanut butter and banana mush. I owe you so much for showing me how to walk as not to upset my stomach. Tonight I may try mac and cheese. Anyway, your video helped prepare me for a lot and to prevent a lot of suffering.

I was given Tylenol and Advil lol, I’m so thankful I didn’t have a bad reaction to any medications, I haven’t been nauseous or any headaches. Eating is extremely difficult, bleeding lasted longer than normal, using tea bags for inflammation, pain, and bleeding on the incision sites helps immensely. Nothing helps the pain. After 48 hours ice won’t really help anymore, I switched to heat and it’s helping. Recovery is way worse than I anticipated lol

    I just got my wisdom teeth out four days ago, it’s really not that bad! My advice would be to not take the pain medications and just stick to Advil and Tylenol. I’ve talked to others who have taken the prescribed pain meds and they said it made them feel nauseas, tired and dizzy. Advil and Tylenol do not do that to you and they take the pain away!

    I told my dentist I had a phobia with nausea and puking. I haven't puked since I was in elementary and I'm 28-years-old. lol He told me he put nausea medicine in the IV. I'm like you! You are literally a life saver! Even though this was my absolute first time being put to sleep, I made sure I circled that I get the side effect of nausea just in case, also. I decided to use my own Tylenol and ibuprofen, because I didn't trust the medicine they gave me (Tylenol with Codiene). I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out around 12:00pm but the sleepiness didn't wear off until 3:00pm. I got some chunky soup and blended it into a puree and I had some vanilla pudding, too. That kept me pretty full. The pain wasn't bad at all, and my right jaw was a little swollen. 24 hours went by and I'm currently working from home right now.

  • @chandanakusuluri3134
    @chandanakusuluri3134 2 місяці тому

    I got my wisdom tooth extraction surgery a week ago, all 4 at once.
    Terrible pain - True
    Can’t eat food for a week - True
    Swollen jaws for a week - True
    Food gets stuck in sockets for a couple of months - True
    Post OP care : Don’t use straw, Don’t smoke, Don’t spit, Don’t skip antibiotics, Ice pack for the first 2 days and then hot pack for a couple of days, Stay hydrated, Take good rest.
    After the stitches are removed, irrigate sockets with water after every meal to remove the stuck food particles.
    Red alters : If you have unbearable pain even after taking pain meds, it’s highly possible that you have infection, go see your dentist asap.
    Observe the surgical site, if the wound doesn’t heal/if you see gaping then contact your dentist.
    Caution : Avoid getting other dental procedures done simultaneously along with wisdom tooth extraction (example : getting crowns/root canal or dentures)
    DONT wait until your impacted wisdom tooth damages the adjacent tooth and gums, get a routine dental X-ray check when you’re an adolescent and get those problematic tooth out asap.
    Conclusion : If you have screwed up wisdom tooth, getting them removed is not a question of “If”but a question of “when”
    So my opinion is that it’s better to get it done in your 20s when you have more strength and relatively better pain tolerance rather than in 40s when you would have a ton of responsibilities and other body aches too.
    Note : The above information is based on my personal experiences and I’m not a BDS/MDS graduate, So kindly discuss with your dentist and parents before you take any decision.

This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

      Haha it honestly happened so fast when they put me under that I didn't even know what was going on; I have a very vague recollection of what happened but when I came in they set me up in the chair and they might've gave me something to put in my mouth? After that they stuck a needle in one of my arms and I think they started counting. I didn't feel anything besides the needle initially and before I knew it; I was awake again after the surgery happened with a bunch of gauze in my numb mouth and the assistant was asking if I felt ready to go home yet or wait another minute before getting up. I don't think it's possible to fight the general anesthesia (unless they don't give you enough but that WON'T happen since it's their job to know how much to give). No problem!! Good luck on healing x
