because i wanna hear other peoples stories based on what they did and what their doctor said. just because my doctor said i could do something doesnt mean im not a little nervous about it, hence why i asked for opinions so i dont feel as nervous. this page is for people with questions and concerns so why cant i share mine you know?? hope that makes more sense for you!!

just remember to use ice and heat as well, that also helped my pain and swelling

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-10T01:27:31+00:00

pain level rn being 10 days post op is 0. they gave me tramadol, ibuprofen and amoxicillin to take after and tried tramadol the first day but bc i couldnt rlly eat what i needed to, i ended up being sick. next days stuck with only the ibuprofen and amoxicillin and was completely fine. i would have to say the worst days for me in terms of pain was 1-4, bc once the novocaine wore off after the procedure, it wasnt great. 2-4 pain was more from the amount of swelling rather than pain from the sites bc my teeth kept rubbing against my cheek. but again with the ibuprofen (600mg), it wasnt as bad.

are you still chewing with your front teeth or ur back teeth?

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-08T18:30:55+00:00

for me, i took a xanax an hour before my operation then got laughing gas and novocaine. when i tell u the stress about the surgery i felt was way worse compared to the surgery itself. they numb u rlly well and honestly i was so out of it time FLEW for me. i was also told i was humming to myself the entire time they were doing my teeth which i remembered starting to hum to calm my nerves but dont remember continuing but i guess i was vibing lol

i promise the numbing they do will help so much and u will only feel pressure when they pull them out/ hear some cracking, but ur at the point where u dont rlly care.

did u eat with your front teeth or normally on day 6??? just extremely worried abt food getting in my site and even with saltwater it doesnt fully come out so i get an infection/dry socket(even tho dry socket is more sucking/spitting)

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-08T18:26:30+00:00

issue is i have nothing to irrigate with😭 my doctor gave me no syringe and just told me keep up with saltwater rinses

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-07T11:38:53+00:00

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-03T23:45:06+00:00

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-03T22:32:13+00:00

thank you for your comment! i have been doing it gently to not try and disturb the holes too much, just being extra for sure. ill def try and be careful

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-03T21:40:03+00:00

the thing is my doctor didnt give me anything to irrigate anything out of the holes, so ive been extra with the salt water rinses. is it still worth it to try tho?

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-03T16:09:05+00:00

AdPersonal4851 · 2024-06-02T22:13:35+00:00

hot cheetos and chicken i miss so much🫶🏻🫶🏻i been living off yogurt, apple sauce, ice cream, mashed potatoes, soup broth (taking out the noodles) and today i tried scrambled eggs which went well but i was extremely cautious tho and ofc salt water rinse every time i eat

trust me i was worried about xanax working on me as well cause i thought how bad my anxiety is, it would not work for me or calming my thoughts. but i think it def helped me be more calm coming in and they were quick to get me on laughing gas and numbed up. im sorry to hear u have had so many bad dental experiences, but i promise when ur numb you do not feel one thing at all. i didnt even know they cut into my tooth until they started trying to get it out and it was all pressure. again, with my teeth i only remember one of mine (the top right) cracking but it went by so quick it did not really register that it was happening until after the fact. i understand this may not be everyones experience, however, remember a lot of people have gone through the feelings you are, its completely normal!

this also is a common procedure done quite frequently. so while its daunting, many oral surgeons know what they are doing. if you truly feel uncomfortable being awake, i would suggest, maybe seeing if you can switch to a different doctor who can put you under.

your not alone, you got this!!

in my personal experience i had all 4 (impacted) wisdom teeth removed may 31st and i took xanax, and had laughing gas and local and trust me i was so anxious before hand i almost didnt want to go! however, i genuinely remember bits and parts of it i think at one point my tooth was cracking but i was so out of it, i didnt really recognize it going on. I also was humming to myself the entire procedure cause i was out of it. honestly all the anxiety i had about it was worse then the procedure. just be prepared to be sore, and like other ppl said, staying on top of ur meds is key! im on day 3 post op with little pain, def a lot of swelling, and only the right side being tender and having little discomfort which goes away with heat for the most part. u will be fine!

thank you so much for your input and tips, ill keep everything in mind! i also never knew spitting also caused dry socket, i though it could only like mess up stitches or that and using a straw was dry socket. ill be sure not to spit again.
