I wish you did my wisdom teeth extraction. I got them done Thursday, and I didn’t even get any instructions of after care 🙄 I had to google and YouTube it.

I removed my wisdom teeth 3 weeks ago, luckily, yes and I say luckily, 3 were impacted so they got stitched and sealed. The 4th one though, was left open. My dentist said I could just swish water for 5 minutes and the food would get dislodged and I don’t need a syringe. But I figured I wasn’t gonna get one so came prepared and I already ordered one and I showed it to them if I could use it. They said it was unnecessary but I could use it.

Well; the swishing worked on the second week but then the food kept getting there and the only way to get it out was to use the syringe.

My point is, I’m so glad I was prepared and I got myself some syringes because it’s so good at keeping the socket clean!!! If your dentist doesn’t give you one, get some for yourself anyways! Just don’t use it too quickly! And consult your dentist!

My post op sheet says not to use the syringe until the 7th day! On day 4 I looked in the lower sockets and they had soft food in them from day 2. Rinsing gently will not dislodge those food particles, so why in the world wasn't this addressed before the surgery or on the post-op sheet? Historically, the majority of my wisdom teeth infections/swelling have been from food being trapped at the gums for prolonged periods. I see no reason not to start using the cleaning syringe at day 4 while remaining slow to clean so not to dislodge the clot. Seems by the 7th day, a more aggressive clean could be done. Nonetheless, my lower left site is in pain and swelled, so here I am doing my own doctor work so this heals properly. How nice that the ones we pay, cannot give us a comprehensive guide to healing from the start. Thanks for the good info in the video.

I almost lost my life after having all 4 of mine out the dr was negligent didn't even give me antibiotics nothing I ended up in ICU with sepsis. If u feel something is wrong DONT delay get a second opinion like I did it saved my life

Bro I didn’t get nothing but a bag full of gauzes and a piece of paper from my doctor

Had to have my gum abscess drained today, as well as extraction. To be fair before the procedure it was swollen for 4 days progressively getting worse and hurting more each day. Especially at night, but thankfully the dentist I went to was an oral surgeon and had no problem helping me out today. I was prescribed Amoxicillin as my antibiotic and ibuprofen as my painkiller from the ER. Ibuprofen didn’t help tbh but the dentist prescribed some hydrocodone and Chlorhexide Gluconate .12% oral rinse. They don’t want me rinsing my mouth until tomorrow. My job for today is to apply pressure to the empty spot where tooth was to hopefully create a blood clot. We’ll see how it goes from there.

The X-ray here looks just like mine. I had my wisdom teeth and the teeth near to it and luckily my doctor was really good and followed the procedure as you described in your videos. Your videos are really good and I wanted some advise for after procedure precautions which are good ones advised by you. Thanks doc! From India.

My dentist inserted a Dry Socket Paste to keep my wound from getting infected after he removed my 3 stitches. He’s really good 41 years ha how can he not be excellent

[asgrides]

My doctor gave me no antibiotics and now I have an infection 5 days later and this is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my life it’s non stop

I just got mine taken out last week. I wasnt scheduled for a follow up or anyhting until I called on the fifth day after surgery and I was in extream pain. I had that hard lump in my jaw and no swelling anywhere else. I was called in and the dentist imedieatly said "thats not right"and got me taken care of. I started antibiotics then we found out those werent working as well as we wanted so they put me under again to flush out the socket. I did not have any food stuck in the socket. Bacteria made its way into my socket and thats all. I am still on my journey to recovery but I hope this migth help somebody.

My wisdom tooth was so big the Docter had to break my tooth in 4 pieces. My surgery took 40 mins more or less...day 3 pain is still there but not awful. It’s crazy to hear your tooth being Broken in your mouth

[stormifyy]

I got mine taken out 2 1/2 weeks ago. My right cheek swole up like a balloon and I'm still bruised from it. The day after surgery my dentist instructed to use the mouth wash twice a day and last week I had my follow up and they gave me the syringe to flush where the stitches are and it's loosening up the stitches. I just can't wait to eat chips again

[veanne]

I DIDNT EVEN GET A SYRINGE AND ITS SO DIFFICULT TO CLEAN MY MOUTH

[jcucch]

started getting a horrible taste in my mouth and noticed my bottom left socket was the only one in pain still along with a knot. Going in tomorrow, great video doc, thanks.

They rarely hand out preventative antibiotics in the UK, you have to get a bad infection first then suffer for a few days while they antibiotics kick in.

[jakemikesell]

I had all 4 my wisdom teeth pull out about 8 days ago. They never gave me much instructions just a sheet that looks like they printed it off Google, I always felt rushed in the office and they only gave me bandages, and antibiotics not a syringe or anything
Didn't know I had to clean it

[TheMissySue]

on antibiotics and got my swelling checked today to make sure it wasn’t infected, only been 3.5 days and doesn’t look like drainage or anything just a hard lump because it was pretty impacted and unfortunately i waited 7 years to listen to them about taking them out 😫 lol surgery took 45 mins for two he’s thinking that’s why i’m extra stiff! not even painful anymore

[MsEricacosta]

My daughter is going through so much rn my heart breaks for her. She is 1 week post op today. Her face started swelling and green rushing out of the gum. They rinsed her out and then the left side did the same thing. She is feeling so sore. They didnt turn the nitrous on for her. I cant wait to see her relieved. She got a mouth rinse today with clindamycin instead of amox. I am praying this helps this time.
