Just had teeth out.......?!
Question:
Just had teeth out.......?
Had one wisdom tooth out yesterday and the tooth
next to it.
Woke up today and everything seemed OK, Got a bit of a nagging pain but thats sorted with Valium lol.
My question is, Is it normal to have really bad breath after a tooth extraction? its so bad i can smell it! and also an annoying aftertaste? Its almost like an onion smell.. horrible :(
The other question is how long does it take to heal roughly and what can i do to help it heal quicker?
Answers:
Did you have an injection or gas? The taste/smell could just be from them. Was the tooth next to your wisdom tooth decayed? If so the taste/smell could just be of all the nastiness that was in your tooth/roots.
To heal completely will take around 1 1/2 - 2 weeks.
To aid healing you could swill your mouth out with salt water twice a day.
