its funny, i just had my wisdom teeth pulled on saturday and i'm fine. you definitly feel weird when you leave the office, but you just go home and take a nap afterwords and your good to go. everybody said that i'd have big cheeks and my mouth would hurt for days after, but the next day i was eating normal and i felt fine, other than a little jaw ache. i guess my surgeon was really good because i feel fine and can eat everything a used to besides the sharp foods like chips or crackers
It all depends on a couple of things I think, Age, how badly impacted or deep they are, and the surgeon too. the surgeon that took out both my sisters broke there jaws.... they had to cut my cheeks away from my face up top and take my teeth out the sides because they were so deep..
not to sure what else i could do to avoide the dry socket, but i hope i got it in check
They shoould give you a plastic syringe that you can fill with warm water to stick in the holes and squirt them out.
Good to hear that youve handeled it well, I think the worst part is hearing the terror stories, and not being able to just gobble food down!
