Icing Wisdom Teeth Once Extracted?!


Question: Icing Wisdom Teeth Once Extracted?
I just got my wisdom teeth extracted this morning ( all four) and i have a question about the swelling. i know one is supposed to ice no longer that 15 minutes on, then 15 minutes off, so i am wondering what is the best sleeping arrangement? Would i be better off hitting the hay with a bag of ice on my cheeks, or waiting until i wake up to continue icing?

You dont have to ice when you sleep. Personally i didnt even ice very often at all and mine were fine withing 3-4 days

After I had my 2 lower wisdom teeth removed, I was so high on oxycodin, I didn't care how much my face swelled, I just played Halo till I passed out. this was 3 years ago. My advice is don't sweat the swelling, it will go away in a while, just don't expect to talk or eat solid food for a few days.But as for the icing, just hold it to your face for as long as you can stand it.and be cool, this is gonna suck, but you will be a bit tougher than you were!

been there, done that.
