I had a single wisdom tooth removed in August this year, together with a normal, but decayed tooth next to it. After a general anaesthetic, it took about 3 to 4 weeks for the gum to settle down and for my eating to get totally back to normal. At about the 8 week point I found I had a tiny piece of bone protruding from the gum, but this came out by itself a couple of weeks later. I'm aged 62, by the way.
no
rot away and your gums bleed
This is gross, just warning you. But yes your gums can be swollen and red (because the nerves keeping the teeth intact to the gums have been pulled).
I WOULD DEFINETLY CONTACT A DOCTOR YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH THE NEXT DAY. i JUST GOT MINE OUT TODAY!
Absolutely not!!!! Blood cannot stain your teeth!!! I'm a dental hygienist!
Your gums may bleed.
well no because that is not good on your gums it can make them swell or even bleed i would'nt and it hurts
no if your gums are bleeding when you gtind your teeth you may have gum disesase consult you dentist asap !
I was told by my dentist that, contrary to instinct, when your gums bleed, you need to brush more, not less. Healthy gums should not bleed with normal brushing, along with looking a healthy pink hue.
Gargle with salt water and take a multivitamin daily.
Well, before they actually remove your teeth, the dentist will inject a numbing formula into the gums out the teeth that are to be pulled out. Pretty much that thing that hurts the most is the little prick of the needle. Don't sweat it!
Have it pulled out.
