Can you use polident to whiten teeth?
Yes. But be very careful not to over do it. It can strip the enamel off your teeth, and make them very sensitive. My aunt has been doing it for years.
I have the same problem. I never got my wisdom teeth taken out. I am 23 years old now, and a few days ago i found a small hole, about the size of a pencil lead right behind my last moler, in between where my wisdom tooth should be, and where the molar is. Food gets stuck in it, its very sensitive to cold/hot. It almost feels as the pain would feel before having a root canal. I would also like to know possible things this could be. I looked up mouth cancer, and its not a sign or symptom of it.

Sometimes when the space between the two central incisors is too large, orthodontics (braces) may be recommended. This usually will take approximately 18-36 months depending on the severity of the bite. If considering crowns, veneers on bonded composite material on the two front teeth, you must consider the space. These restorations may make the teeth look too large and it may make the assymetry of the entire six front look abnormal. The best thing to do is trust the dentist. Sometimes the wait on orthodontics is worth it. J. Holsworth, RDH

What activities should NOT be done after getting your wisdom teeth pulled?
My doctor told me not to do anything that would raise my blood pressure. It is a good idea to avoid any kind of suction during the first two weeks following the extractions.

If this happens, see your dentist ASAP. It can be treated. No spitting or any kind of suction for 48 hours.
Also no physical exercises for 48 hours. It is a good idea not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the anethesia has completely worn off.
