When your gums hurt, you are suffering from acute gingivitis or acute periodontitis (gum disease) and you should get treated quickly or you might lose your teeth.

You do know that you're dealing with bone, right? It takes time for your body to heal after surgery.

Can you drink beer about 2 days after wisdom tooth extractionbtw im not taking pain pill?

No, drinking alcohol before the mouth is healed can lead to a dry socket. It usually takes 3-4 days for a mouth to heal after wisdom tooth extraction.

This is a huge problem, this simply indicates that there was a mishap during surgery that this person is unable to open there mouth. I suspect a torn muscle.


Is it safe if the dentist said to wait three days until your next appointment to take a prophylaxis antibiotic to pull an abscessed tooth?

I would not wait to take an antibiotic for an abcess tooth! If you get the tooth pulled with the infection still in site...you are in for one rude awakening when he attempts to pull that tooth!


How laser Doppler flowmetry is used in dentistry?

After a contusion of the tooth, there can be temporary loss of tooth sensibility for a few days to several months. Pulp testing for nerve activity will be negative, even though the blood flow can still be intact and the tooth is vital. With a laser the blood flow through the tooth can be detected.

I believe you have to rest for 1 or 2 days after the tooth was pulled out.


Should there be a white spot when site is healing after tooth extraction?

Yes. It is completely normal. I had a tooth removed a few days ago and this white spot has appeared. You'll probably notice the day after your extraction that you have a red blood clot where your tooth was. The following days that blood clot will turn to a white/gray spot. This is your mouth healing itself. Completely normal. Don't worry, and don't remove it! You could get a dry socket and you definitely don't want that!


You just had your wisdom tooth out After 2 days there appears to be quite a substatial hole in your gum through which you can still see some white tooth What should you do?

Of course there is going to be a substantial hole, that's the socket where the tooth was. As for the white you are seeing, that would be part of the jaw bone and was supporting the tooth that is now extracted. Your dentist can remove some of it, if you want but its not necessary!

What happens if mouth stitches rip?

I believe when this happens, your mouth will start to bleed, or become aggitated, call your dentist IMMEDIATLY when this happens! they also tend to fall out after a few days of healing. I had my tooth pulled Tuesday, and Saturday (tonight) they started to come out on their own. Hope this helps alittle :)

There is appearance of white sluggish material on the socket. 4. You feel the taste of blood or pus in your mouth after 3 days of extraction. 5. Any muscle or nerve movement seems to be impaired. 6. There is limited mouth opening. 7. You feel some lump in gums surrounding the extracted tooth.
