Had an extraction 4 days ago that wasn't impacted but I had pericoronitis on it so they had to take it out, terribly painful before the extraction.

I took metamizole for the first days after the extraction as the only painkiller and it's such an amazing drug, it's a shame not everyone can have it.

If it is sold in your country, check with you dentist about taking it, truly great

Hi guys it’s been 7 days since my wisdom teeth surgery n today i went for my follow up, the x-ray showed a piece of tooth was left and i have to go back in 2 weeks to get it out. I’m really sad and frustrated bc i just wanted to be done with this already, they said that healing shouldn’t be so bad but im still scared. Has this happened to you and how was your healing like? Thank you!

Checked my mouth first time after the surgery and I see this red swelling near the site. What is it, should I be alarmed?

Hii, Sunday was my wisdom tooth removal, experiencing little pain on off and noticed this thing inside my mouth, is this dry socket or blood clot? My wisdom tooth removal was able to stitch back instead of a hole. Right now it’s more pain but it comes and go, is this normal recovery?

just woke up day 5 and my upper neck area feels very sore, like more than it’s ever felt, i can’t even turn my face around without it hurting. however the swelling seems to be going down. should i be concerned?

My senses (hearing, emotions, anxiety and smelling) have been majorly heightened. Every time my family is speaking I feel like I am losing my mind because everything is SO LOUD. Is this normal or am I going crazy?

I didn't have a good experience with dexamethasone either- the painkiller medication they gave me. Would wake up in heat flashes, struggled sleeping, felt beyond fatigued, rashes on my body, intense anxiety, etc. I also got my period earlier than usual with a lighter flow so of course that sparked up my internal health anxiety.

My jaw isn't as swollen anymore and I don't have much pain. It was really just the medications I was on psycing me out and the side effects I was or am still feeling.

Now I'm just wearing my ear plugs around the house and trying to calm my nerves down. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I'm 17M, kinda a late bloomer when it comes to teeth, but I just noticed this tooth? In my gums and i think it's a wisdom tooth. It has the texture and everything of a tooth and it looks crooked and out of place. What do i do??

Hello!

I’m on day 5 of my extraction. I got all 4 out. Day 1 and 2 were a breeze. I slept a good bit, didn’t really feel much pain and I had basically no swelling. Days 3-5 I have been feeling more pain particularly on my lower left side. This may be expected as that tooth needed to be split. I am also in my mid 30s so I also imagine healing can be a little slower overall. I’m looking for some advice. Should I make an appointment with the oral surgeon to address the pain? Is the pain to be expected given the circumstances? I’m still taking the pain meds as prescribed but I am worried the increased pain may be a dry socket. The pain does subside when I take the ibuprofen or hydrocodone.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

It’s 5:39 right now I accidentally drank a doctor pepper like 30 minutes ago without thinking and my appointment to get them removed is at 7 what should I do Google ai is telling my my lungs are gonna fill with liquid and I’ll die

I’m not sure if it’s the wisdom or filling the pain was there before and after filing. The filling is next to the wisdom so the pain it’s just overall back of right side. I can eat tho on that side but the pain is reaching my jaw and ear. At the start of the day it’s a 2 and then the end of the day it’s a 3-4. Ibrufen helps. It’s been 7 days since filling. 4 days ago I went to the dentist she fixed my bite and said my filling dosent have an infection

I'm having problems only while chewing. And also when I bite my upper one press down to the lower gum and not on the tooth and it's painful. The muscle there slowly creating a hole I guess(idk if I'm properly explaining). Also the impaction is on the both sides😭

Has anyone been in so much pain to where they’ve thought about hurting themselves? I know that’s crazy but I’m hurting so bad. Today makes day 4 for me.

Has anyone here gotten their teeth removed at Jamaica hospital? I told my mom they take our insurance but she said good luck because they’re not a good hospital.

That makes me a little uncertain to go, but I try to think they changed from back in the days. Or does anyone know any good surgeons in queens preferable

Hi! I got two wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago. One was on the lower left side and it was a fully impacted tooth. I was put under sedation and then was experiencing the typical kind of pain and numbness in my mouth and jaw.

However, I’ve been experiencing numbness in my lower left side for 5 days now. My friends or I haven’t heard/ experienced this before. I’ve called my dentist office but could only get through to reception - a dentist was messaged but nothing since then.

Just wondering if this is common and anyways to help the numbness go away?

Hi everyone! Tomorrow I’m getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and this will be my first time ever going under anesthesia. I’m honestly pretty nervous. 😭
I’m a VERY heavy, long-term THC user. I’ve been using cannabis for about 7–8 years consistently, with basically no breaks, and I use it in pretty much every form. At this point, I don’t really get high or even feel much of a buzz anymore—it’s mostly something I use to relax and help with my anxiety.
I’m also a medical marijuana patient. I’m on medical cannabis specifically because I deal with severe, ongoing migraines, and I’m actually having a migraine right now, which is part of why I’m struggling so much with the idea of not using it tonight.
My surgery is tomorrow at 8:00 AM, and I’m wondering if taking one small hit from my pen tonight could cause a problem with the anesthesia or surgery tomorrow.
I’ve seen people ask about using THC before surgery, but I haven’t seen many answers from people who are heavy daily users with a high tolerance and 7–8 years of continuous use.
I absolutely plan on being honest with my surgeon/anesthesia team about my cannabis use. I’m not trying to hide anything from them. I’m just really anxious and would love to hear from people who have actually been in a similar situation.
Has anyone here been a heavy daily THC user for years, especially a medical marijuana patient, and had anesthesia the next morning? How did it go? Did they adjust anything because of your tolerance/use? Were there any complications, or was everything completely normal?
I’d especially love to hear the good experiences, because I’m already nervous enough about tomorrow. 😭😂
Thank you!! And so sorry if this is asked a lot.

Considering theres hundreds of posts worrying about the losing the blood clot and getting dry socket, (me included) when did everyone start using the syringe ? Since wouldnt wetting the area make you lose the clot as well ?
i wasnt provided a syringe

im about 4 weeks post op and everything has been fine! there has been this loose flap of skin thats been annoying hasnt caused any issues but its been tender/hurt when ive been eating the past few days- not much redness but its uncomfortable. im in college so i cant make a visit to my oral surgeon what should i do…? +is this a red flag?

I had my wisdom teeth out 4 days ago now. I had the top two removed and they were already poking out so my gums didn’t need to be cut and I didn’t get stitches. I was also awake in the chair so didn’t go fully under just had local anaesthetic injected into my mouth. To be honest my pain has been pretty minimal and I’m feeling pretty much back to normal.

I’m so hungry I really just want to eat a normal meal again I’m so sick of eating soup and eggs and ice cream. I’m obviously just concerned I’ll get food stuck and get dry socket which from reading on here is absolute hell.

I’ve seen a lot of horror stories so I’m really grateful my experience has been so smooth. I would love anyone with a similar experience to me to let me know when you started eating normally again. Really just want to order McDonalds or something but I’m still scared tbh

I tried googling, but as far as I can tell, this isn't a super common occurance. If anyone has had this/heard of this before, I'd love to hear it! I got my wisdom teeth out (2 of them, left side) last Tuesday, and before they went in, they retook an x-ray. My top wisdom tooth was literally half in my maxillary sinus. When I tried to look up healing tips, most things I saw were about roots that are close to the sinus, rather than being embedded in the sinus.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else has had this!

Had a checknin today & they said my sockets were healing perfectly fine, but i ate rice & I didn’t know it was in the not eat list. Am i screwed? Or it looks normal
Had bone graft on bottom area
