Nausea and/or vomiting is normal after surgery. Call your dentist if it persists , but you can brush your teeth The day of the extraction, do not brush over the whole, only around it, The day after you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water. The salt water has healing properties in it, and will help clean it out and help prevent infection

I just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed, and they specifically said not to spit or use straws, smoke, etc. because it creates a suction which can remove the initial blood clots, causing a very painful condition called "dry socket". It also is hard to spit the first day because your mouth is still swollen and numb and the muscles can't perform the action that well. I tried to spit to get blood out and it didn't work out too well.

Yes, and you should avoid spitting because you may loosen the clots that are forming in the tooth socket. After 3 or 4 days, you can lightly rinse with salt water, again not too vigorously until the socket heals.

Yes, but most people are not that sensitive to blood.

My teeth are crooked and crowded because my wisdom teeth are impacted. Will my teeth go back after getting my wisdom teeth removed?

I spoke to my oral surgeon about the crowding in my lower jaw that I believed to be caused by my wisdom teeth. He said that even with the extra space I would receive from the removal of my wisdom teeth, it would be unlikely that my teeth would move back into place. There was mention of being fitted for retainers and going to a different doctor who specialized in orthodontics.

If wisdom teeth cause your teeth to get crooked Do your teeth get straight after you get your wisdom teeth extractions?

Not necessarily. Teeth tend to become more crowed as we age, especially the lower front teeth. This happens in some people regardless of whether they have wisdom teeth or not. Therefore, removing the wisdom teeth, solely for the purpose of hoping to get naturally straighter teeth, won't work.
