I had two badly impacted wisdom teeth removed on Thursday. I'm having a lot of swelling (atm I resemble a chipmunk with food stuffed in her cheeks, not the look I'm going for as I'm getting ready to go back to school) and was wondering how long I should expect that to last and what other's have found helped? I'm on anti-inflammatory pills, have been doing warm salt rinses, ice packs, etc. Anything else? Thanks in advance!
Wisdom Teeth removal %26amp; recovery?
Oh the swelling should be greatly reduced if not altogether gone by one week. Sounds to me like you're doing everything right! Keep it up, follow your dentist's advice. BTW, whatever you do, DON'T EAT POPCORN until completely healed. (Definitely something I would not do again!) :)
Reply:I had mine removed and didn't take to it very well either. It just took time for the swelling to go down. Don't eat dairy products, drink through a straw, or smoke as those can all aggravate them more.
Reply:my Dr. told me to drink caffeine and it would help heal the swelling it helped i just took the pain pills for about 2 days kept my gauze changed and drank alot of coke it tasted nasty but it worked for me... just sleep as much as you can and stressing about it will only make it worse good luck
Reply:Did you call the Dr ? I had that same surgery years ago; I bled for a day, and kept my mouth coverd up, for a couple days, with no problem.
Reply:Not much you can do, but chipmunks do look cute.I had mine removed and the went back to work after.
Reply:I got all mine out on wednesday and I still have some pain and swelling, I'm going back to the dentist tomorrow just to be sure everything is okay, and becuase I'm out of pain pills. My bottom teeth are throbbing and it feels like the dentist id still yanking them. See the dentist just to be safe. I have a 18mo son to chase around so I have to get better quick. Best wishes!!
