Impacted Wisdom teeth removal?

I have to go get my impacted wisdom teeth removed very soon and I was wondering about how long it will take me to recover. The oral surgeon said that my tooth is laying right on the nerve and it could give me permanent nerve damage in my mouth...Is there any websites that give you the step by step process of the impacted wisdom tooth removal procedure with picture that i could see? Also if there is a post operation of what to do/not what to do on a website could you please let me know THANKS!!

Impacted Wisdom teeth removal?
hello there.. i had my wisdom teeth extraction done about 2 weeks ago. I dont know if u are going to be awake or not during it. but i had a intravenous iv.. i wasnt completely out, howver i dont remember the procedure at all. i was so nervous going into it, but afterwards i felt silly for worrying about it so much. i had it done on a friday.. i was still numb till about sunday. i didnt swell up at all.. and wasnt in much pain. by the way i had all 4 taken out.


each person varies for how they will be affected by it, and how much time it takes to recover. within a week i could eat whatever i wanted. the first few days its more like soft foods such as yogurt , pudding, jello, applesauce etc.


i would say recovering time to where u completely feel normal is about a week, but then again everyone is different.


anyways i hope that helped. hang in there it will be over before u know it!


good luck

Reply:Good luck, and I hope you don%26#039;t end up with dry sockets like I did. I had all 4 of mine removed on Tuesday, the bottom ones being way impacted and 1 being extremely close to a nerve. Chances are, the tooth that is on top of the nerve will be broken into pieces, as that was what the oral surgeon did with my tooth that was close to a nerve. And I am still recovering from the procedure, but am at work right now. Just am eating mushy/soupy stuff, or easy frozen foods (ice creams or popsicles). Funny, I followed the post-surgery instructions, and I still ended up with a dry socket. But it was caught early enough.





Good luckm and hope you don%26#039;t have any problems afterwards!
