I have a question about wisdom teeth removal?

Question

i got my wisdom teeth out about 22 hours ago. i was reading up about dry socket,and many sources say that 2 to 5 percent of people will get this in about 2 to 5 days after the surgery. it says also that women on oral contraceptives have double the chance of getting dry socket because the blood will not clot.. i am on the pill... would i be included in this percentage?.. i had the teeth out monday morning.. and am scheduled for an 8 hour shift at work on thursday.. i had all 4 out.. i am a cashier and have to talk to and deal with people the entire day.. will this be enough time to get better, or no?

Answer 1

i'm getting mine pulled out tomorrow.

my doc told me dry socket has a very small percentile. for me it's less than 1 percent.

he mentioned swelling will be at it's best on the 2nd day after the surgery. sooo in another day or soo it will be the most swollen.

make a check up date apporximent a week after just to make sure everythig goes as planned.

andd i think you should be fine for work.

i get mine out on wednesday and i gotta be at work friday.

i work at a movie theater soo i do talkt o a lot of people as well.

but it honestly depends on the person for recoveral.

certain peopel do better than others.

so i'm told.

well best of luck =D

Answer 2

I was fine and did not have a problem with dry sockets - I was on the pill at the time as well. You should be just fine. If you start having any pain, call your surgeon...
