how long will it take for it to heal!? (if u ever had any of your teeth pulled out)

ive had 4 of my teeth taken out before at the same time!. i know ouch!
it was 3 years ago but i think i remember it hurt for about 4 days, and after that i felt a little pain but it was ok!. on the first day, i had the gauze on but the days after that i didnt put it on anymore!. i think that u dont have to keep the gauze on there anymore but just drink water often to wash off some food that might be stuck inside the hole where ur tooth was!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First premolars are routinely extracted to gain space to accomodadate ur teeth if they are over crowded!. It could be both upper and lowers or just one arch alone depending on the case!. Once the tooth is extracted u should keep the guaze like 15 min to half an hour depending on the case!. Just follow the instructions that should have been given by the dentist!. Keeping the gauze longer has nothing to do with infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
