Wisdom teeth coming out today
 

Whats the tips and tricks? Hopefully the pain won't be too bad by Saturday. I have a Mardi Gras ball that I've already rented a tux for.

Had 5 removed at one time! Yes 5!!!!

Keep sockets clean....flush and gargle! Try to eat liquids as much as possible till they close.

Take the meds, thats what they are for!!!!!! You will look like a chimpmunk for a coupe days...

Make sure to rinse after eating. I had all four pulled and didn't find it was that bad.

I only needed 2 bottoms pulled but I had dry socket for 2 weeks! Make sure you follow all instructions from the doc!

Ice ice ice

The med will keep you happy, happy , happy. That's a fact Jack

Soup, ice cream, and yogurt

not that bad as long as you don't get dry sockets, don't get dry sockets!

dry sockets are horrible!!!!

When I had mine pulled the Dr gave me a syringe with a plastic curved tip on it to squirt into the sockets to clean them out. Mostly use it after the cut were healed to clean out the cavities.

Here's my tips.

You going to split blood for a couple days, keep a paper cup with a paper towel handy.

If your face feels wet, whipe it, you probably drooling.

If you feel something funny in your mouth, don't chew it, thats your toungue and its not going to feel good tomorrow when the lidocaine wears off in your mouth.

Every time you take a pain pill wash it down with a couple beers.

Get aquainted with Smoothy King for the next few days and get some meal replacement shakes.

You should be GTG for Sat.

This is what the syringe looked like.

Dat syringe is your best friend after the procedure

Had one of mine pulled when I was in Afghanistan, Flew back to the big base got it pulled and left back to the FOB 2 days later. Wasn't all that bad

I think the pills and beers would run a tight race for BFF

Do not suck on straws, it will pull the blood clot from the cavity and that's what causes a dry socket.

the syringe will be a close friend:rotfl:

I had all 4 pulled at once. All the advice given so far is right on the money. My MOM just so happens to have been a dental assistant her entire life. She worked with an oral surgen for some time as well. When I had mine pulled she told me do not smoke or suck on straws to avoid dry sockets. The pills and beer will do great for the pain. Just wanted to add that after the blood stops pooring out of your mouth, try using a tea bag as a gaw. It also helps with the pain and was told it helps the healing process as well.

Just got out and all is well, pulled all 4, off to cvs and dynamic dimensions for a smoothie

One word OXYCONTIN, when used for the right reasons such as yours, there is no better for a pain free recovery.

Nucynta 100mg too... Make you feel like someone is rubbing your head!

They gave me an oxycontin before I went in to surgery 2 years ago and I just figured out where I was last week!!

They prescribed percaset

Hope this doesn't slow you down on training. Good luck and get well

Eat it with a spoon

You are still numb:grinpimp:

Plan on training Saturday and Sunday hell or high wind, finally making progress on my "hole"

Good luck

Had mine pulled when I was in college, young and stupid. Was at Nitecaps on the strip the same night. And yes, I got dry socket!

that explains the story of the 40yr old crabbing lady. Lol!!!!!!!!!!
