I got a wisdom tooth taken out 7 days ago. A couple hours ago, the extraction site started getting sore. The soreness is gradually getting worse. I’ve been taking care of the site the way the oral surgeon instructed me to. Could this be a possible dry socket?
I am scheduled to have my upper left wisdom tooth extracted next Monday. I am very nervous. It is not impacted, and I will be keeping my other 3 wisdom teeth. The one getting extracted has decay and is broken. I will be awake for the procedure. (I was given the option of IV sedation but the oral surgeon said he thinks all I need is oral sedation so he gave me a presciption for a sedative called Halcion that I am to take 1 hour before the extraction, and an antibiotic that I will be starting the day of the extraction.) The surgeon warned me that I may feel about 20 pounds of pressure while he is extracting the tooth, which sounds so frightening to me. He also warned me that the tooth will probably break as he pulls it. I am very nervous and don’t know what to expect during & after the procedure, and if I should be worried about any side effects with Halcion. Also I have a very senstive gag reflex and am wondering if I should be worried about that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I have been having pain in my bottom front teeth for about a month or two now. I thought it might be from my wisdom teeth pushing my other teeth. So I had a consultation with the oral surgeon and when I asked him about the pain i’ve been having in my bottom front teeth he said it was unlikely that it was from my wisdom teeth and that i should consult my dentist. I made an appt but that isn’t until august 6th.
If it isn’t my wisdom teeth what else could be causing this pain in my bottom front teeth?
I had a very difficult extraction of my lower wisdom tooth by an oral surgeon. The procedure lasted over an hour and consisted of the dentist drilling little pieces of my tooth off to get it out. (the tooth was in down under the skin sideways near my jaw)
My jaw is also so achy and I am still on soft foods (I can’t even eat noodles!). I tried but today I am paying for it. I had the tooth out on Friday and I didn’t go to work today. How long will I be out for? I am 28yrs old..not a teen
I also still have numbess in my chin and lip area because of nerve damage
I am scheduled to have my upper left wisdom tooth extracted tomorrow morning. I am 35 years old, but feel like a baby because I am so EXTREMELY nervous. It is not impacted, and I will be keeping my other 3 wisdom teeth. The one getting extracted has decay and is broken. I will be awake for the procedure. The oral surgeon gave me a presciption for a sedative called Halcion that I am to take 1 hour before the extraction, and an antibiotic that I will be starting the day of the extraction. The surgeon warned me that I may feel about 20 pounds of pressure while he is extracting the tooth, which sounds so frightening to me. He also warned me that the tooth will probably break as he pulls it. I am very nervous and don’t know what to expect during & after the procedure, and if I should be worried about any side effects with Halcion. Also I have a very senstive gag reflex and am worried about that. I am also worried about the crunch noise, and about how they get the tooth out if it breaks.
Hello all, here is my question. Any opinion would help….
I have been in SEVERE pain from my wisdom teeth coming in for about 3 days now. It started out just being a little "swore", but has developed into pure out annoyance and pain.
My dentist prescribed me amoxicillin incase of developing infection until I can see my oral surgeon.
I have great respect for my dentist, as he does for me (i hope so anyways haha), and am very afraid to ask for a pain killer to help me sleep at night (without feeling like a crack head)… until I can see my oral surgeon. I work 7 days a week and cant afford to lose sleep over mouth pain. If i seriously am IN pain, I should ask for something like this right? I have tried all OTC medications, all they do is keep some swelling down. I need 4 HOURS OF SOME RELIEF!
Also, when I try to eat I chew on my swollen cheek.
I had posted an earlier question about numbness after wisdom tooth extraction. I forgot to add the most important detail. It has been 1 month since, and I still have numbness in my lower lip area. It appears I have some nerve damage. The questions are how long should I expect this feeling to last? and Should I contact another dentist or oral surgeon? Is this permanent?
I got into a bicycle accident yesterday. Landed on my chin. I got 7 stitches to close my chin up, and I have a small jaw fracture. I saw the dentist today, who referred me to an oral surgeon. I didn’t lose any teeth in the accident, however, 2 of them were cracked, and there are horizontal fractures on both. The dentist thinks she’ll have to pull them both. I’m 23, so there’s no way I’m ready to go through life missing teeth, so implants are an option. How safe are they? Infection wise? Does anybody have tooth implants? Or do any dental professionals know any research on it? My mom thinks my history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis could cause a relapse with something foreign in my body.
I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed about 4 weeks ago. Initially, everything went really well and I recoverd quickly. However, about a week after the surgery, I started to experience sharp pain where the lower teeth were. I visited the oral surgeon for a follow-up and he said I had a mild case of dry socket, should be cleared up in a week. That was over a week ago, and the pain is still intense. Advil helps, but the moment it wears off, I can’t even think straight. Anybody else have a similar experience?
I am having one wisdom tooth pulled sometime in the next couple of weeks. It is an upper tooth. (I am 35 years old.)The tooth is not impacted. It is broken and has decay. I will be awake during the procedure, with just novocaine to numb the area. The oral surgeon and his assistant said I will not feel pain but I will feel up to about 20 pounds of pressure. This sounds extremely scary to me. Also, he gave me a prescription for Halcion, which he wants me to take before the extraction. I am also nervous about that, as I am very senstitive to medication, but he said all it will do is relax me and that it will also relax my jaw which will make it easier and faster for him to extract the tooth. I want it to be as easy and fast as possible so I am planning on taking the Halcion before my appointment. Has anyone had any experience? I am curious about reactions to Halcion and what to expect to feel when I take it, and about the pain and/or pressure I may feel during the extraction. Thanks!

How bad would you dental pros consider my receding gumline to be? It’s very painful and I really can’t afford to go to a dentist or oral surgeon..
It’s been getting worse and worse.. These really do not do it justice.

I do brust and floss properly.. Twice a day at least. Don’t know why it’s doing this, perhaps all my stomach issues.

You’d probably see a good bit of plaque.. I didn’t brush my teeth immediately before taking those pictures.
