Yeah I just got back from the oral surgeon a couple hours ago and i still feel like shit. My whole mouth and tongue are numb except for the holes in the back where my teeth were which just hurt. I've been eating oatmeal and pudding and all that stuff they say you can eat, but at least now I've finally got the bleeding stopped. I'm putting ice against my face but its all still swelling up

Any advice from people who've done this recently?

Listen to every damn thing they told you. If you dont and you get a dry socket you will want to die. Thats just my 2 cents

You'll start to swell and eventually turn green or yellow and you'll look like a chipmunk. Not to scare you or anything, but it wasn't fun for me either. But it doesn't take too long to recover. Make sure to put ice on it and you'll feel better and the swelling will go down faster.
I had my wisdom teeth out a year or two ago but had jaw surgery last month. Now that wasn't fun, getting my wisdom teeth out was fun compared to that. Heh, I hate my teeth.

Replace gauss frequently, use the ice packs as much as possible, don't take twice as much medication as you are prescribed before anything important. I made all of these mistakes about a year ago when I had mine out and the consequences were that my mouth bled for almost 2 days, I looked like a chipmunk, and I nearly failed a final presentation I had to give because I couldn't keep my train of thought for more than a few seconds. Basically, just do what the doctors told you to do. It's kind of a burden, but it really does help. If you want to see what happens when you ignore them, see above. And have fun being all drugged up, it's one of the few times you can be in such a state without any legal ramifications.

They didn't put stitches in there? When i had my wisdom teeth extracted a year ago they put me to sleep and stitched me up with some stitches that dissolved after a few weeks i had no problem with bleeding at all or swelling

Pain involving teeth is the worst kind of pain in the world ...thankfully there aren't too many women on here to counter with the boringly predictable 'giving birth' retort! Get well soon mate.

yeah, i got that after thinking about it for awhile, but i cant really focus fully on anything cause of the drugs they gave me, so humor isnt coming very fast to me right now

yeah they did but they said because of how my mouth is, it was going to bleed for awhile and they gave me a large supply of guass to stop it

and im already starting to get the chipmunk look, which if my mouth didnt hurt would be hilarious

i lost 4 othr teeths instead of the wisdom.. 2 teeths were baby teeths which dont fall out because no normal teeth were kicking it out^^

but i say.. HAAHAAHAA i got a narcosis and it was lovely...

To lie there
get some thing on the fingers for the pulse
both hands were unmovable...
then you get a needle for something with blood in the arm
then the big mask is coming to you... lovely...
from one to other second you feel weird...

then i said... Good Night and i was flying

and no swelling... lucky me must get no wisdom teeth out

Got all four impacted wisdom teeth out last year, busted a stitch four hours later, swallowed so much blood I threw up.

Here's hoping yours goes better than mine...

BTW, the swelling will get worse for 2-3 days, and then you'll get better. It takes along time for your mouth to stop feeling weird though.

You'll feel like shit until at least the 3rd day when it will be managable. You'll feel normal-ish by a weeks time

The next morning is gonna feel like someone shoved a plumbing snake in your mouth if you can survive that you'll be okay, follow the instructions for gargling with salt water (it really helps and eases the pain and take your perscribed pain killers until it you don't need them.

try not to move your jaws too much.

Oh yeah tonight try to sleep in a recliner chair, or prop a bunch of pillows so your head is elevated as high as you can stand it,

try to avoid rolling over on your jaw or side of face while sleeping.

if they werent impacted (on their side, not coming in straight up) then i dont think you have any reason to have them removed

and if they were impacted and started coming through your gums, believe me you would know
