I am a surgical dental assistant who has been in the field for 6 years. Part of my job is giving post op instructions and taking calls from post op patients. The bad taste you are experiencing is normal. When wisdom teeth are extracted the surgeon does not sew up the entire extraction site. There are many reasons for this, each Dr. has their own. You may not be brushing as well as you usually would which is understandable. Your mouth hurts! I know it is difficult to open as wide to get the back teeth, but you need, I mean NEED to keep the mouth clean. You may have food stuck in the socket, here is what you do. Use a salt water rinse, no mouth wash. It will burn and slow the healing. Rinse after every meal. Do you have dissolvable stitches? Sometimes they can take up to 2 weeks to dissolve. Do not try to take them out. If they are bothersome and pinching, contact your dentist and schedule a post op appointment.
What else can I help you with?
Is it ok to chew gum after getting your wisdom teeth pulled?
No. That will cause more bleeding. Never do any action that relates to sucking after oral surgery. It will just promote more bleeding and slow the healing process.
Brushing your teeth after your wisdom teeth have been pulled?
DON'T BRUSH YOUR TEETH THE FIRST DAY!!! I know it will be kind of gross, but you can't brush your teeth the first day because you may loosen the stitches. And if the stitches come out, then you will have a disgusting, bloody mess and would have to go back to the dentist to get the stitches re-sewn. That would not be fun! :(24 hours after surgery you can start brushing your teeth. Brush VERY GENTLY and go VERY SLOWLY when brushing near the wounds.*I would recommend using toothpaste with baking soda as soon as you can start brushing because in a few days after surgery, you will start getting a disgusting taste in your mouth which is basically your wound oozing out bacteria. (I know it sounds gross... it is. But it's true!) The baking soda will help give you a sweeter, fresher taste in your mouth, and will hopefully stop the oozing within 1 or 2 days instead of a week!Hope this information helped! Good luck with your surgery. :D
