I got four teeth extracted today (at once) and.. ?

Question

I'm having an incredibly hard time dealing with eating. The dentist advised me against eating anything hot for the next few days, but I've heard that a warm salt water rise expedites the healing process and keeps from infection. I'm also very concerned about food getting stuck in the sockets.

If anyone wanted to know, I got my second bicuspids extracted to make space for my braces.. which I happened to have gotten installed yesterday. Ouch.

Answer 1

phone your Dentist.

Answer 2

Oh I know what you mean, I reccomend sticking to soft things, like Cuastard, pancakes, sandwiches etc, don't ea tnaything hard or it could poke te soace and cause them to bleed like it did with mine.

Answer 3

I had 5 wisdom teeth taken out and I had huge holes! Whatever you do don't try to wash out the "blood clots" thats what keeps it healthy, beleive it or not. That is what my surgeon advised me to do, and i never got infection. Yes, a very gentle salt water rinse will help to prevent infection, just get the water to the back of your mouth (do each side sererately) and gently move your head from side to side (as you arent supposed to swish water) you can also gently hold your cheeks if there is some feeling of pressure from moving your head on the inside of your mouth (extra support too). Also, get a soft brush toothbrush and gently flick the bristles in the holes to get any fine peices of food out, the water should get out the large peices of food.

Braces, been there too...ouch, feel sorry for you, but its worth it....

=D it feels slimy when you get them off its gross. Goodluck with your teeth!
