A few questions following wisdom teeth extraction?

I had all four wisdom teeth removed four days ago. None were impacted. I've had practically no pain while healing and have been careful to only eat food I can basically swallow without chewing. I also rinse my mouth with salt water after every meal. I've always been a very fast healer, and my immune system is very strong. The only time I've been sick in the last 10 years is a cold every other year or so and they only last a literal day.

How long do I have to worry about developing a dry socket?

How long should I keep using salt water to clean my mouth?

When should I be completely healed?

    You should be out of the woods as far as dry sockets are concerned. I would ask your dentist for a mono jet syringe and irrigate the sockets until they are completely closed. This can take up to a few weeks.

    If your teeth is entirely erupted you're proper to mention that it could be simpler to take away than if it was once in part erupted or no longer via in any respect. But the major obstacle with knowledge enamel, notably scale back ones, is that the form of the roots could be very variable and this may make the teeth complex to take away. If I had been you I could ask the dentist to take an xray of the teeth to look: a. Will it's handy to take away.? b. How so much decay is within the teeth - can it's simply crammed? Really, the one man or woman who can propose you to your man or woman obstacle is a well dentist and it is rather unwise to pay any awareness in any respect to the reports of others whose dental occasions would possibly good be very unique. Sometimes in lifestyles you simply ought to give up to the recommendation of the official - however would not you instead do this than take the recommendation of any person on a internet site like this. Good good fortune.
