I'm having a tooth pulled.

how´s your tooth now?

 

I haven't taken any pain meds for it at all, but haven't eaten in over 24 hours. I'm paranoid of causing the clot to dislodge and get dry socket. I don't see how people eat until it heals.

 

I've had plenty of teeth pulled, none of them hurt really other than the wisdom teeth. You're older than I was when I was getting teeth pulled though so the roots are probably bigger and bigger roots = more pain.

More than your wisdom teeth?

Eat plenty of ice cream, it will account for faster healing. :)

Don't spit! (Yes its gross first and foremost, but it can also dislodge the clot)

 

And don't you worry about getting a dry socket, as long as your dentist got every inflammed tissue out of your socket, you'll be fine. Are you still taking any medications?

Thanks for being here Farizah :P

 

Maybe we'll never need to pull them out *hopes*

 

Hello. :) There are some instances that the wisdom tooth doesn't need to be pulled out, but oftentimes it pushes the roots of your molars (cos its trying to erupt and it doesn't have space) and it gets resorbed, and its not a good thing. So it is advised that you should get routine radiographs of your teeth for observation and to prevent further damage. :)

 

I still have mine on, and I haven't had them pulled cos in my radiographs it doesn't pathologically destroys my other teeth or cause any inflammation. :D

 

Don't worry about it getting pulled, there are plenty of pain relievers and you will be under anesthesia during the procedure. ;)

I didn't have any pain from the jaw, I took vicodin today because of a headache I had due to not being able to drink coffee. So all in all the worst pain came from caffeine withdraw, I find that funny. I just haven't eaten much in the last 2 days, just a few hundred calories.

 

Thanks for the advice!
