Hi,  I hope that all went well at the dentist's today!  Take it easy, (and keep ahead of the pain with your medication, if any)

Let us know how you're feeling soon.  This is a good excuse to eat ice-cream at least!

Rest and recovery!!

Hi S.C

Thanks for your post. Extraction off one impacted wisdom tooth went well but Hibee's mouth is sore and swollen. Keeping it iced and was given codeine and antibiotics to take, ended up with 3 stitches. Lots and lots of ice cream to be consumed maybe even for breakfast lol is that wrong??

Still in the dark with the whole work situation and would say this is the most anxious I have been in about two years not really slept the last three nights and can't seem to relax. Thanks again for your post you put a smile on my sore face lol.

Ice Cream for breakfast, lunch, dinner and don't forget those snacks.

Don't you hate when your teeth freeze - oh that is right your missing one now.  redface

Ice Cream Cones, Ice Cream Cakes, Ice Cream Sundaes, Ice Cream Shakes,  and Ice Cream Dreams..............Enjoy and hope you feeling better soon.

No worries, be happy and try not to fear the unknown.  We are right here to wipe the ice cream off your chin,  my wonderful friend.

Gentle Hugs,

Hibee, Protein smoothies can be heavenly. Our family favorite: 2 scoops protein powder, 1 banana, 1 cup guava nectar, 2 cups frozen strawberries. Add more juice if needed. If you cannot find guava juice, orange juice is good.
I hope you feel better soon.

Hi

Mouth still sore and slightly swollen how long is this going to last?

Did they send you home with paperwork in regards to what to expect, and how to do home treatment? I should think that you would still be sore after only 4 days-this is a major assault on your mouth!

If you haven't already, try a pain killer with an anti-inflamitory to treat the swelling, as this is almost always a source of pain:(

Hope it feels better soon, oh and keep up the ice packs (and ice cream!)

Hi

A bit better today swelling has gone down a lot over night. Still got stitches in mouth which should come out between 2-3 weeks and have been taking pain killers and antibiotics.

Cheers S.C

Ben,


Ever wonder why those often-yanked molars are called "wisdom teeth"? Have them pulled and you'll soon question the wisdom of that decision. shocked

Actually, get any of your teeth pulled and you'll note the healing process has plenty of hurt--as well as its share of physical foolishness. just look in the mirror and you may see cheeks as swollen as those of a Type A squirrel prepping for the winter. Do you look like a squirrel on speed ? 

Taking 1,500 milligrams of vitamin C daily (500 milligrams with each meal) can take a lot of the punch out of extractions, according to my oral surgeon. Taking this for a week following your surgery is supposed to help with the healing process. JMHO.

Glad to hear you are doing better today.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt
