Choking on water after wisdom tooth extraction?

Question

...my mouth is still numbed from all the shots, and it's still bleeding. My lip feels very large and numb and i can't feel the bottom portion of my face. Whenever I try to drink water i choke cause i can't get it into my mouth.

does anyone know when the swelling will go down enough to allow me to drink?

Answer 1

it will probably take about 6 hours i got mine out 3 weeks ago so i feel for you,

squirt water bottles work best to prevent choking  

Answer 2

how long ago did you get your wisdom teeth out?

Answer 3

This numbing sensation should go within 3-4 hours of extraction. Healing will take some time. Initially for a day or two you will fee pain while chewing so you have to take liquids and soft food.

Answer 4

My face for numb for a few hours.... i couldn't drink either, it was horrible. The swelling took a couple weeks to go down.... you will look like a pumpkin head for a while but after a few hours you will at least be able to eat and feel, which isn't necessarily a good thing if you know what i mean.
