Just got my wisdom teeth pulled 3 days ago.?

Question

Ok so I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out, and I forgot to rinse my mouth with salt water. Is it bad if I just started to rinse my mouth on the 3rd day? Also my bottom right stitch came out, is that bad too?

Answer 1

Well, I didn't have stitches, but I had all four of mine out at once and they were fine :) I didn't really do anything special, just made sure to clean my mouth out a couple of time a day, gently!! My ex had his bottom wisdom teeth surgically removed, and rinsed them out at least once a day and still got dry socket in both. So I don't know!! Just do the best you can, and if you experience alot of pain I'd call your dentist :)  {btw, pieces of tooth can work it's way up and out of the socket over time, if any was left in there... it happened to my ex as well}

Answer 2

...You're fine , promise!

You're lucky you can get on the computer and type..I had a bad reaction to the meds..and I spent my third day swollen, drowsy, couch-ridden and extremely paranoid due to the meds I was on.. [meprozine 50/25].

Soo...kudos to you, just rinse from now on and be sure to take your antibiotics = ].

Answer 3

You'll be fine. Your socket has already formed enough closure that it won't really matter at this point. The rinsing part is fine, just try to remember to rinse from now on.

Answer 4

No, it's okay. Don't worry. Just start rinsing now to prevent any infections. It's okay that your stitches came out too. It's normal...they will just keep falling out and eventually you'll lose them all. Unless they come off and it starts bleeding a lot, you shouldn't be worried.
