All four Wisdom Teeth pulled out!!!?!


Question:

All four Wisdom Teeth pulled out!!!?

I just got them pulled out 2 days ago... why is one side hurting more than the other side? I feel like the right side is getting sucked in, while the other side is just sore... I don't want to get dry sockets or whatever... when will the pain go away? how long until i eat solid food? when is it okay to gargle with listerine? Do i still have to apply mouth pressure with the cotton paper they gave me, even tho the bleeding stopped? Also the drugs seem to be working very strongly on the right side, like its really numb and feels like its getting sucked in, is that normal?


Answers:

You should really contact the oral surgeon that did your surgery. I had 3 removed Tuesday myself and my surgeon told me that I may experience numbness for a few days due to bruising of the nerve during surgery but it would go away as the nerve got better. As for the rest, i don't really have any answers for you, but I am having alot of pain myself so i guess maybe that part is normal. If you are really concerned you should call the emergency number for your dentist and let a professional know what is going on, don't be afraid to bother them...it's their job and I'm sure they understand.
