Yes, I had mine removed just the other day, my doctor told me that the numbness can last from 6-12 hours after the surgery. (I'm not a doctor, but that is what mine said)
You should be able to resume a normal diet after 7-10 days.
i have had my wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, it hasnt been 24hrs, and i believe that is normal. it hurts to smile or even swallow because i have a huge hole that has been sewn shut. so yes i think its totally normal.
From your description, it doesn't sound like a problem. Everyone has holes (visible or not) the first weeks after surgery. My question to you is: Did you brush ON THE DAY OF SURGERY? If so, I would call your dentist. If it was the day after, then don't be worried about it! :) Good luck. :D
Answer stitches in cheekI had my wisdom teeth taken out a week ago all my swelling has gone down and i have the same thing there is 1 stitch in my cheek so yes im pretty sure it is normal.
Wisdom teeth should be extracted when they push and damage the 7th tooth while they grow, also when they develop a cyst or cause an infection, and wisdom teeth are removed if they're causing problems with prosthesis. Here's an interesting video about wisdom tooth extraction.
This is very normal until the gums heal completely after the surgery. It will take them a little while to completely firm up.
Jana and Jill had their wisdom teeth removed.
Yes......
No, they will not grow back.
You can eat prior to having a tooth extracted as long as you are only having a local anesthetic. Usually patients will opt for I.V. sedation for all four wisdom teeth.
Eat hard foods like apples
Anywhere from 4 weeks to 5 months is considered normal. However, if you are experiencing pain, please see your dentist.
