i think i'm having the syndromes of too much wisom wisdom tooth! If hearing stories of extracting wisdom tooth is not scary enough, i went to surf the net. and guess what! it's worst then saw III la!

 

Risks

After a wisdom tooth is removed, you may experience:

• Pain and swelling in your gums and tooth socket where the tooth was removed. (Fuck)
• Bleeding that won't stop for about 24 hours. (WTF)
• Difficulty with or pain from opening your jaw.
• Slow-healing gums.
• Damage to existing dental work, such as crowns or bridges, or to roots of a nearby tooth. (luggy best!)
• A painful inflammation called dry socket, which happens if the protective blood clot is lost too soon. (what else more )
• Numbness in your mouth and lips after the local anesthetic wears off, due to injury or inflammation of nerves in the jaw.
• Rare side effects, including:

1. Numbness in the mouth or lips that does not go away.
2. A fractured jaw if the tooth was firmly attached to the jaw bone.
3. An opening into the sinus cavity when a wisdom tooth is removed from the upper jaw.

Scary isnt it. Actually i was quite convinced to go see a dentist as this is not the first timei experience the pain already. But i just didnt have the courage. readin info from the net does not makes me feel more assured to get them pluck out once n for all! If u think it's just about plucking them out once n for all, then u are like me, dumb u live in a world of no troubles and pain free!

What To Expect After Surgery

In most cases, the recovery period lasts only a few days. Take painkillers as prescribed by your dentist or oral surgeon. The following tips will help speed your recovery.

• Bite gently on the gauze pad periodically, and change pads as they become soaked with blood. Call your dentist or oral surgeon if you still have bleeding 24 hours after your surgery.
• While your mouth is numb, be careful not to bite the inside of your cheek or lip, or your tongue. (like i can tell my teeth, dont ACCIDENTALLY bite them)
• Do not lie flat. This may prolong bleeding. Prop up your head with pillows. (this is so funny la!
• Try using an ice pack on the outside of your cheek for the first 24 hours. You can use moist heat-such as a washcloth soaked in warm water and wrung out-for the following 2 or 3 days. (i think i'll get a long MC with this ADVICE)
• Relax after surgery. Physical activity may increase bleeding. (dammit! no ballet)
• Eat soft foods, such as gelatin, pudding, or a thin soup. Gradually add solid foods to your diet as healing progresses. (woHoo, i'm back to basic, be a baby!)
• Do not use a straw for the first few days. Sucking on a straw can loosen the blood clot and delay healing. (let's be man, drink from ur glass)
• After the first day, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day to reduce swelling and relieve pain. (bless u if u have ulcers in ur mouth)
• Do not smoke for at least 24 hours after your surgery. The sucking motion can loosen the clot and delay healing. In addition, smoking decreases the blood supply and can bring germs and contaminants to the surgery area.  (bless me, i do not belong to this category!!!hehehe)
• Avoid rubbing the area with your tongue or touching it with your fingers. (cant! doesnt ur tongue roll ard in your mouth?!?!?!)
• Continue to brush your teeth and tongue carefully. (like real real real careful la!)

Your dentist will remove the stitches after a few days, if needed. (tt's the last thing i wan to hear! i dont even wan to see the dentist that cause me pain for the past few days already la!)
