Anyone had their wisdom teeth out??
 

If so, was it painful? How was the recovery?

PLEASE ANSWER

I've had my wisdom teeth out and it wasn't pleasant!

Rinse your mouth out with warm salt water 24 hours after surgery 5 to 6 times a day, don't vigorous rinse, rinse gently.

Eat foods that are soft and easily digested such as soup, ice cream, yogurt, also drink plenty but not with a straw as this could dislodge the blood clot.

Use ice packs applied to the side of the face, this will help with swelling, also take painkillers.

It took a week for my pain to resolve, and 2 weeks before i was eating normal, take it easy, rest and no vigorous exercise.

Hope you're feeling better soon :hug:

I looked like a hamster after I'd had mine out. It was painful for a couple of days, but manageable. Good advice from rubymoo regarding food and drink.
