Wisdom teeth question

Question

had my wisdom teeth extracted this afternoon. They told me if I laid down to elevate my head (to prevent swelling or help clotting, can't remember which). Should I also keep my head elevated when sleeping tonight or has enough initial time passed?

Probably a question I should have remembered to ask him earlier - doh! :)

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Yes. I just got my wisdom teeth taken out 3 days ago. They told me the same thing so I have like 4 pillows stacked on top of eachother. lol.

Answer 2

I am sure you'll be fine!

Answer 3

you probably should just to be safe,  sometimes the blood clot will pop out and cause bleeding.
