My Monday appointment which was meant to be one more extraction, ended up being one top&bottom wisdom tooth
All healing just fine, I hope you are too
hi all has my wisdom tooth (lower right) and molar next too it removed last Friday at 8am.. I wasn’t cut or stitched as they both came out easily. Turns out I have dry back to back socket I’m still in agony 6 days on..: I’ve been back too the dentist twice now who each time have blocked it with clove oil on a pad. Any other advice please
I had the dry socket with the clove stuff but it wasn’t a pad, it was like this shredded stuff that they filled it in with. So it stayed in there for a few days. If that’s not what you’ve had, maybe enquire about it? Ibuprofen was what I used for the pain the rest of the time. It gets better I promise!
Warm salt water gargles could help.
Hi all I had back to back dry socket and I’ve also got no sensation on the right side of my

Today’s my day. I had the worst pain Tuesday and Thursday and luckily someone had canceled their appointment today so it’s all happening super fast. I’ve just had my last meal and my last glas of pineapple juice (2.5l in total now since yesterday) so I’m hoping the swelling won’t be too bad and I’m all stocked up with Ibuprofen, ice packs, soups and ice creams .
I thought I would be more nervous but I’m actually really excited for the anesthesia (getting a half-sleep sedation which many say feels like a really nice long nap) and for it to be finally over! Will report back.
And @Hann98 I hope you’re feeling well again x

hope it all goes well! It’s the best thing I ever did getting mine removed.
So I know I have an impacted wisdom tooth. Have had another removed which was over two years ago, but I've always just left the other as It wasn't causing any problems though and I wasn't in pain.
It was mentioned at my last dental appointment 7 months ago, but I would be travelling soon. Decided to finally just do it even if the timing isn't perfect. It will never be at this rate. I have an appointment with a new dentist for tomorrow. General check up first then I will arrange something.

I’ve got a wisdom tooth in the bottom left of my mouth that is driving me up the wall. I’m convinced it’s growing into my cheek. I don’t know how else to describe it. I also think it’s infected. I’m on holiday in a few weeks time and I’m desperate to get to see my dentist to see what the next steps are. I’m just mega anxious about being awake and potentially having it taken out. I just hate how all four of mine are growing in and some people get none!
I had two removed in February best thing I ever did. I was awake and it was over super fast.
So I went to my dentist yesterday. He offered me a slot in 11 days that doesn't work for me. I asked if he had anything sooner, but he replied saying that in my case as there was no inflammation the extraction could wait. I've already been putting it off for more than 4 years. What's another few months? 
I can empathise with the impacted wisdom tooth this is my second one. I think it could be a hospital job and not the dentist this time round. I just want it to grow enough so it can be removed.
A dentist told me years ago you can get wisdom teeth up until the age of 80!

Hey all, thought I would give a brief update one week post removal. Have to say I was really lucky and apart from a bit of pain on Friday evening my whole experience was really positive! The removal itself was completely painless and even though my bottom tooth was a bit more complicated it all healed really well. I had quite a bit of swelling but I think my 6l of pineapple juice and contentious icing helped quite a bit. I also was very strict with only eating soft foods and no coffee/tea/alcohol/exercise etc.
Got my stitches out today (which also didn’t hurt one bit!) and was cleared to go on my first short run which also went really well.
I’m so glad I finally got them out and hope that my positive experience will help some of you who are a bit nervous! It does not have to be a horrible experience

Honestly, I was probably one of the most nervous patients my dentist had, my heart was beating so hard I could hear it
It was the best thing I've done though, no more tentative chewing on that side and no more flare ups. My recovery was great, I didn't do much at all that was strenuous- even bending down I was super careful as I didn't want any blood rushing to my head.
If anyone is nervous then honestly just go for it and remember it will definitely be worth it.

Getting bottom wisdom tooth out tomorrow in dentist, I had been so excited the past few days to be rid of the pain but panic setting in now 
don’t know how I’ll sleep tonight. I feel nervous as I’ve stupidly not done any prep either, didn’t know about pineapple juice etc. I’ve bought painkillers, an ice pack and some yogurt and instant mash but that’s it

Honestly it won't be as bad as you think - just soft food for a few days, painkillers and no spitting after you brush your teeth! I basically lived on Aldi Mac and cheese ready meals and yoghurts for the week after xGetting bottom wisdom tooth out tomorrow in dentist, I had been so excited the past few days to be rid of the pain but panic setting in now
You‘ll be fine! The „prep“ some people do isn‘t necessary nor a guarantee for anything. Just follow all the dentist instructions (especially icing as much as possible) and get excited about one less issue in the futureGetting bottom wisdom tooth out tomorrow in dentist, I had been so excited the past few days to be rid of the pain but panic setting in now
You’ll be fine. I didn’t do any prep either but had a really smooth recovery.Getting bottom wisdom tooth out tomorrow in dentist, I had been so excited the past few days to be rid of the pain but panic setting in now
You will be fine. I was massively worrying about mine and so panicky. I didn't do any of the prep either. Follow the dentist instructions to the letter, mine told me basically do nothing which would raise your blood pressure so no exercise, try not to get stressed, even be careful bending down as the blood will rush to your head. The first night I slept with my head propped up a bit. I took paracetamol and ibuprofen at regular intervals before any pain had chance to make itself known.Getting bottom wisdom tooth out tomorrow in dentist, I had been so excited the past few days to be rid of the pain but panic setting in now
Procedure itself was fine for me, 12 minutes from going into the room until it was out, and about 5 minutes of that was me panicking and the dentist telling me not to worry. Good luck xxx
Hi guys - it’s over!!! I thought it might be helpful to share my experience.
The actual procedure itself was zero pain, I’m so surprised. I had injections to numb my mouth which I barely felt and they let that kick in for a few minutes. Then he just cracked on and it was done so quickly! Truly amazed at the lack of pain, not once did I feel any sort of pinch or sharpness. The only advice I could give is to be prepared for a bit of noise, the tools and drills obviously make noise which I just didn’t consider and it made me jump at first! 🫢 other than that I just closed my eyes and focused on counting my breath in and out through my nose. Before I knew it he said ‘all done’ and I didn’t even think he had really started/gotten into the thick of it so I was delighted.
I’m a few hours post-extraction now, I did 2 rounds of the gauze for 45 mins each until the bleeding stopped & I took 2 nurofen as soon as I came home. Small bit of tightness in my jaw but I couldn’t even call it pain. Ice cream and ice pack for the evening with some telly now
