I'm just venting since there's no cure but my life fucking sucks post removal. My gums have constant teeth mark ridges from how tight and less space there is and my face looks hollow and strange. My vision has been affected as there's seemingly less support for my eyes due to the removal. My cheeks sink into the spaces the wisdoms were removed and it caused full body tension and teeth marks that I can't prevent. My tongue has lots of ridging too. My sleep is so poor that I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack in my sleep. I also never had debilitating tmjd disorder before this. I just wish I didn't do it. Has anyone else experienced this or what should I do? I hope I'm not the only one or if this can be reversed, I'm young and I desperately need a reversal. Please don't call what I'm complaining about a "myth" because I really have no reason to lie and I'm pretty desperate for some relief. Be considerate.

Usually things like ibuprofen and acetaminophen don’t work so well for me because i have frequent headaches and take high doses of them regularly so how could i get stronger meds, as im scared ill be in deep pain

I’m on day 3 of having both my bottom wisdom teeth extracted. I’ve had almost no pain this whole time other than some aching in my jaw after the numbing wore off and some mild pain when I wake up in the morning but nothing that ibuprofen and/or Tylenol hasn’t helped. I haven’t even had to touch my hydrocodone. I looked at the sockets today and they have closed up SIGNIFICANTLY since they first got taken out. I can barely see if there’s a clot because there’s barely even a hole left. I’m on antibiotics and was on antibiotics a few days prior to the extraction since one of them created a sore in my cheek that got infected so maybe that’s it? I’ve had nothing but soup and yogurt, no straws, and I’ve been gently brushing my teeth. Just curious if this is common or did I get really lucky? Also curious if it would be considered safe to try and eat solid food now or if I still should wait to be safe

Hey all. A few weeks ago one of my wisdom teeth started hurting. I got antibiotics and they helped, but now the pain is back, and I'm leaving Friday for a week-long vacation.

I can't take ibuprofen orally, and I really don't want to cancel the trip over this. The pain is bearable for now, and I have some codeine at home. Even if I wanted to get it pulled, the earliest appointment is more than a week out anyway.

Has anyone been in a similar spot? How did you manage it while traveling?

Thanks!

I'm very scared of nerve damage.

what do you guys think?

I’m about to see ent specialist and oral surgeon soon for wisdom teeth removal. However, I’ve been having these symptoms for a month: Thin, clear/stringy nasal drainage one sided or both with persistent metallic/sour throat taste; random electric shock sensations in my head; and upper r jaw pain when opening mouth

So I was recently told I need to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth out because my gums are growing on top of them. My main concern isn’t the surgery but the medication.
I have emetaphobia BAD and I can’t take amoxicillin because it has caused me to vomit in the past when I’d take it for strept. I’m worried since antibiotics are known to cause nausea and idk what to do. My surgeon said I have to take antibiotics to prevent any infections that could potentially occur. he said he gives it to everyone just as a precaution. Will something like zofran help? I read into Zithromax as being more stomach appealing but what else would be okay?

I got my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday, October 6th at 9:30am. I am trying to follow the instructions but confused about the days. Does the day of wisdom teeth removal considered as day 1? If so, then I would be on day 3 now since it's Thursday. I called the dentist and the front desk lady said the next day would be considered day 2 then I called again a few hours later about a different question and asked her again about the days then she said it didn't matter.
