What is the fastest way to heal the site of wisdom teeth extraction?

Question

what can you do and eat to speed the process of healing? Also, how long do you wait to go to the dentist to do a follow-up?

Answer 1

I'd just eat the vicodin they prescribed like candy, and let time take it's course.

Soft foods like soup and fruits will also help.

But it's not as fun.

Answer 2

Warm salt water rinses help do the trick.

Stick to mostly liquids for food - Soup, puddings, oatmeal, etc.

The dentist should have scheduled you a follow up when you left.  If they didn't, make sure you call and find out when they want to see you again.  

Good Luck!
