Hi I am in my 20s and I have been into 2 dentist and they have said different things so I wanted to see what other dentist have to say. I am getting braces next month as well. But basically I am wondering if I should get my wisdom teeth out or not I have so much anxiety over it. One dentist told me I would need to while I went to another and they said I don’t need to unless it cause my pain or any issue which I don’t think I have. What are your professional opinions? Also I wanted to mention I have a small mouth if that has any impact

My wisdom teeth were all erupted and literally took 10 minutes to take out. I had zero complications and no complex placement. They told me it would be a really easy recovery but I am suffering. I'm taking the maximum amount of painkillers, including opioids, I was allowed to and it's still unbearable. My head hurts, I'm getting migraines, my sinuses hurt, my jaw is stiff and painful. It's been 2 days and I've just been rotting and sleeping. I want it to stop so bad. I feel somewhat lied to because everyone else who had a simple extraction like me had next to no pain. I'm just ranting but I am just suffering.

Today is day 6 after my surgical wisdom tooth extraction, and I feel like the pain just isn’t getting any better. Yesterday, I cried through lunch because of how much it hurt (I only had some lukewarm soup). Painkillers aren’t helping at all. I can’t do anything, I can’t concentrate. I’m so fed up with this. I’m also a little disappointed in myself because I thought I’d be able to handle the pain much better.
My dentist told me that the worst pain would be on days 2–3 and that it should get better after that, but honestly, I feel like it’s even worse now, or at least the pain has completely plateaued. When is this finally going to get better?

Got these fuckers taken out five days ago. This one keeps bleeding and throbbing. Ik the picture sucks but should I be concerned? The other side feels pretty much fine. They did tell me the side in the picture was a bit of a doozy to get out bc they had to dig more so.

Just sucked this out my wisdom tooth socket. it’s basically day 5 op as I had my surgery at 8am. Am I fucked

My surgery is scheduled for November 2nd but I realized I’ll have Halloween plans where I’d probably have a few drinks. I know you’re not supposed to smoke before but the surgeon didn’t mention anything about alcohol. Would this be safe?

I called the dentist today and I have an appointment tomorrow and if the dentist deems it necessary, he’s going to take out at least two of my wisdom teeth because the ones on my left or the ones bugging me, especially the one on the top. The photo with the little white part coming out of the gum is the one that’s bugging me the one that looks like a pearl or something.

hi! I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday in the morning. I have like the worst dental anxiety ever, but it went by fast and easy.
i was only bleeding a lot when i got home, got it to stop. And ive been prescribed pain medicine and antibiotics, as well as peridex mouth wash. I have a little swelling and tenderness. i just want to make sure this looks okay for day 2. I’ve been so careful of doing everything right, that if something were to go wrong id be in distress. left pic is my right side, it was partially erupted. and the right pic is my left side and was horizontally impacted(they had to cut through gums) any advice would be helpful :)

I still see a small clot on my stitches but it seems some of the clot has slid down. I did get PRF treatment on this tooth but there is jelly like blood just kind of sitting around the neighboring tooth. Should I try to rinse it off? Or just leave it alone. I’m on day 2 of recovery.

pic for context i guess? but i had my lower left wisdom removed last saturday, it sucked. i wasn’t expecting to have it done right then and there, but they said it was urgent and best to do it that day, blasé blasé. i was awake for it, which sucked because the whole reason i didn’t have it extracted years ago was due to my anxiety around it, i got stabbed in the tongue by one of the instruments used, which hurt! and for some reason afterwards, there was a mix up at the pharmacy and it took 4 hours to get my ibuprofen, and the one i had at home wasn’t touching the pain at all, so i cried for 2 hours while in blinding pain. all of that was kind of unnecessary for my question, but i needed to rant lowkey… anyways, i was wondering how long it took everyone to feel normal again, being able to eat normally, chew normally, etc, etc… im scared i’ll never feel the same, so im sort of regretful, but i also know things would be worse if i ever removed it so fuck it we ball

I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday so I am 2 days post-op. The pain today was unbearable but thankfully it subsided as the day went on. I remember going into the doctor’s appt and thinking they wouldn’t be that serious just to be encountered by THAT… lol!! Hopefully I heal fast because I don’t know how much longer I can live as a squirrel

My wisdom teeth were removed in February. They healed up well enough. Now it’s October, and one side has split open. What do I do? I can’t go to the dentist/oral surgeon until June. Food gets trapped, and I can’t have this turn into an infection because I will not under any circumstances go to ER or Urgent Care.
