Answers:
Not everyone has a swelling after wisdom tooth extraction!.
You will have some discomfort after the extractions, but make sure you follow the instruction your dentist gave you -
most importantly do the regular how water and salt mouth rinses!.

I would not worry about the clots, as long as you don't poke them they should stay in place and the wounds will have already started healing!.

i had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out and i had extreme sweeling the day after and i mean extreme lol i looked liked betty boop but my friend had all of hers out to and she didnt swell at all!. it took me about 4 days to be able to eat a bit better!. dont touch anything in ur mouth like the clots you will cause more bleeding and might open the wound worse and it will be very painful, give it about a week maybe a bit longer and you will be as gold as gold

ps i feel for you honey lol good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

well normally there is some swelling right away after a tooth is pulled!. I wouldn't worry if you didn't notice swelling!. Maybe you just don't swell much!. I also wouldn't worry about dislodging clots as that shouldn't cause any problems!. Your oral surgeon should have gave you directions on how to care for your mouth but if your in doubt you should call them!. I know its ok to rinse with warm salt water after the first 24 hours though!.

well bruising and swelling is objective reactions that is the body reactss in its own way for every individual ! so its not when will it appear or you hav to wait fot it but yes its normally after 10 to 14 hours of the procedure! it might last for two to three days!
swelling is not an abnormal or a bad sign after getting tooth out ! Its perfectly normal and a common sign!
Asfar as gettin your clots dislodgement is concerned then you need to take few precautions like avoid eating hard food dtuuffs for few days avoid hot or spicy food stuffs, avoid sucking with straw , avoid smoking if you smoke,avoid scrubbing that area with tooth brush , take medications prescribed by your dentist and do warm saline gargles thrice a day ! Take care of all these instructions and you will be just fine ! you will be able to eat soft and bland food after afew hours from the procedure and will be able to eat all kind of diets in around 14 to 20 days !Www@Answer-Health@Com
