NWR- HELP I'm Getting All 4 wisdom teeth pulled today! Any Advice?

i also had all four done at once and i too got dry sockets! that was bad. take the meds and a frozen pack of peas is the best to use as ice and as for the swelling i did not swell at all! good luck and rest! see you back in a few days

If you smoke... dont until you are feeling a lot better and dont drink out of straws these two thing causes dry sockets. I got them and it was really painful but the Dr. can fix them quick as long as you can get to him in a hurry . GOOD LUCK youll do fine. Just think the little buggers wont bother you anymore after this weekend

Ohhhh... now I have that 'Milkshake' song stuck in my head! Heh.

Hope you're feeling well!

well this is my expertise hahah cause im an office manager for an oral surgeon lol. the first day no spitting or drinking through a straw, nothing to hot or too cold, soft foods for several days, mashed potatoes mac and cheese... the second day you can start to rinse w/ warm salt water..DO NOT smoke the first or second day after the surgery (if you do), youll get a dry socket and i hear its extremely painful.... THE most important thing... make sure u eat each and every time before you take your pain medication.... it can be very tough on the stomach, solid foods too, soup is not enough! all in all its not so bad, just enjoy the relaxation during this hectic time!! fm me if you need anything further. good luck!!
