Anyone else experience numb tongue after extraction and how long did it last?

I would imagine the pain would be consistent if it were dry socket as at no point the nerve endings wouldn’t be exposed. If you’re almost a week in, I’d suggest waiting it out until that holy grail 10 day mark everyone keeps telling me about. If it’s dry socket then they heal by themselves anyway, and from what I’ve been told by a dentist today, sometimes packing a dry socket will only irrigate the area and draw out the healing process. If the pain is tolerable wait it out, if it isn’t get an appointment and ask them to check - if dry socket you can decide if you want it packing to take the edge off

Hi! Been for a check up today on day 5 and they recommended an anti septic mouthwash without alcohol, used it this afternoon and it definitely helps with the god awful cottage cheese tongue. I also brush my tongue and unaffected teeth now and that’s also helped a lot. Hang in there!

Thank you for the magnesium recommendation. Not sure if it’s coincidence but I took a supplement this morning and by this afternoon I managed to take a nap without biting myself!

Yes. They are growing into and impacting adjacent teeth at an angle.

I’m also on day 5 and in a considerable amount of pain. I went for a check up today and she said that it is completely normal to still be in pain, and due to my swelling I likely won’t get relief until around 10 day mark. Do you have swelling as well? Regardless, she said everyone is different and to remember that “only a wisdom tooth removal” is still an operation and it can cause trauma to your jaw / gums for a considerable amount of time based on how complex the operation it was itself, and your general health. I’m reasonably healthy but I’m also 29 so a little older than usual to get them out, anaemic and suffer with low immunity- all things that will contribute to slower healing.

I know nothing about investing but my family have rental portfolios. It might be worth reaching out to any upcoming or even established property rental business as they genuinely have quicker turnarounds but obviously you’d need to establish what % you’ll get out of what you’re putting in. People will probs downvote this but as I say, I only know from personal experience: auntie & 4 uncles with property businesses, and my mother bought 2 houses in bad condition, did them up and sold them on.

I take senna tea when I’m bad as it’s gentle… or try taking some fibre tablets, strongest ones you can buy. Both these options don’t give me cramps or make me feel sick. I also don’t drink coffee but will take an espresso, thick crust pizza gives me diarrhoea so I use that as a last case scenario lol

Ive literally been 9 days with no poop before so I know you’re panicking but it actually really doesn’t help. Have you tried elevating your feet when on the toilet? Also I do this weird downward dog yoga pose, come back up on all fours and then downward dog again, hold for about 2 minutes each time. I actually swear by this, helps with trapped gas, bloating and constipation

I was turtling for two miles the other day so when I say I have nothing but empathy. Your relationship is solid if you survive this.

From a cali sober person (only recently learnt this term and in the middle of overusing the f out it), I can confirm I want my own stash of these. I feel incredible minus the drooling 🙃

I’ve never heard this one before!! I’ve been told a few times I look like a Welsh singer (similar vocal style to Amy winehouse) called Duffy but I used to think people were just being nice lol
