Answers:
OK!.!.so you just had wisdom teeth extracted!.!.!.If you haven't been told this is what you need to do:(1) Do Not attempt to "vigorously" rinse your mouth out, you will risk loosing a blood clot from the empty tooth socket!. Loose the clot and you could end up with a very very painful "Dry Socket"!.!.rinse very "gently" with a 10% salt to water mix three times a day!. (2) Do Not suck on a soda straw, smoke, or attempt to drink from a pop can or bottle!. That action can also dislodge a blood clot!. (3) Do Not use "hot packs" on your cheeks over the extraction sites, it will cause blood to gorge into the area and that will cause pain, "use" Cold Packs!. If you were given an antibiotic, take it "all" as directed!. (4) If you feel a high level of pain after 36 hours, get back to your doctor ASAP!. Good luck and I wish you well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
