Are you still with the same dentist or did he scare you into going elsewhere?

I woke up about an hour ago, and feel so much better already. The information they gave ne says I can start using salt water on the extraction site, so I hope I don't accidently dislodge the blood clot that formed. I've heard lots of stories about pain with dry socket's, so i'll be taking extra precautions when cleaning the area.

Put a black (not green or herbal) tea bag on the area to stop the bleeding if it starts doing that.

Got one of my bottom wisdom teeth removed last year. I was told I should get the others removed, at least the top one on the same side but I never did. I hope my other wisdom teeth don’t start giving me issues because it was annoying

same, and some of my other teeth aren't even fully grown yet (my dentist said if those teeth aren't full grown yet, he questions if the wisdom teeth ever come through, it is possible so he keeps checking every year i have routine check up)

My dentist has highly recommended I get my bottom wisdom tooth taken out as it got infected and it'll never fully come through so it'll be a reocurring theme. I'm on antibiotics to remove the infection at the moment but I'm going to wait until after my holiday to remove it I think

so far my dentist has said to me he never comes across people like my age with such beautiful and white teeth


pain i got now is me biting on my cheek (i usually do that while eating) also blood taste probably from that flesh wound in my cheek lmao


like i had said, most of upper/bottom corner teeth before the wisdom teeth are not even fully through

As a former sufferer of recurring tooth abscesses for about a year every other month, I'd urge you have it done. An infected/abscessed tooth is 10000000x more painful than a tooth out, wisdom or regular. Actually, I don't think I've ever had pain as bad in some ways. Absolute agony.

The worst part of it all was my phobia of dentist, hence taking the first two out myself.

Bloody hell smudgie,your a braver person than I , and Nancy hope you feel better real soon, at least it is done and dusted now.

[Nicky91]

so apparently it was one of normal bottom corner teeth coming through more now


and if i Judge it myself (not an expert obviously) but by the looks of it there isn't room left for wisdom teeth in the bottom side


cause next to that one bottom corner teeth you have the jaw bone


if i had to guess, maybe a chance of wisdom teeth in the upper corners but not sure either since those other corner teeth also haven't fully come through yet

[Nicky91]

and also i had x-ray pictures being taken of the place where the wisdom teeth can grow

first time was around my 23th/24th year they saw nothing on the picture

second time was few years back, and also nothing to be seen
