Four wisdom tooth removed?

Your post op experience at this stage sounds perfectly normal. The third day is when maximum pain and swelling occur. Heat will now do better than icing. Use warm saline rinses several times a day especially after eating. A heating pad will also be of some use. I hope you were given some stronger pain pills than what you can buy over the counter. I don't know why you are on antibiotics now, unless you had a lot of infection to begin with. I hope it just isn't a preventive measure. You diet is fine and can be taken with the meds. You must be pretty brave to have all the work done at one time with just a local anesthetic. I wish you the best of luck and have a happy new year Mea.

I had this same procedure done about a month and a half ago. Same situation. All four teeth. Bad location. I was terrified, but there's really no need to worry. If you don't get it done, that loss of feeling that you're so concerned about will happen because of how the teeth are growing in. Just ask you're dentist. Ask to be asleep during the process and it'll feel like a second. The gauze is uncomfortable and it hurts a bit, but as long as you apply cold and hot as directed and take some asprin, you'll be fine. It'll heal up in about a week and you might have a bit of a gross taste in your mouth from the stitches, but nothing too serious. Just brush you're teeth and gargle. I thought I would be fine and wound up being very uncomfortable. Everything turned out great though. The teeth are out. There's no residue of pain or anything. To be honest, I haven't thought of it until you asked this question. I hope everything works out well.

firstly, an antibiotic is probably the way to go. To lessen swelling on the face, SLEEP WITH YOUR HEAD ELEVATED, MAYBE ON 3 Or 4 PILLOWs. If u sleep flat, u will be more swollen in the am. Don't worry about foods at the moment, take care of the issue.

Rinse and brush with warm salt water and you will be fine.The warm water as warm as you can take to stimulate the gums and bring blood flow and the salt will kill off bacteria.Have to keep the pockets were the teeth were clean.

keep ice packs on it. I know it hurts but the ice will make you recover faster.

when you sleep lay on your back.

you can also use a bag of frozen peas.
