Wisdom teeth pulled, WORST experience. This has given me nothing but panic and p!


Question:

Wisdom teeth pulled, WORST experience. This has given me nothing but panic and pain. I need some comfort.?

When I had them pulled 5 days ago I had crazy, severe bleeding. And now, the right side of my chin, cheek, and lower lip is tingly and numb. My teeth are also numb and heavy. Jaw is in pain. I have a small migraine on the left on and off through the day. There is slight pain when I swallow on the left. And my tongue is also partially tingly. Grrr, this pisses me off. I am just reminded of the fact that this could be permanent. I wake up all through the night, it's just frustrating. I'm regretting the choice of my oral surgeon, who wouldn't let me wait on taking out that specific tooth due to the fact that it could cause permanent nerve damage. I mean it's not that he forced me to take that one out too, but of course when I'm thinking about it, sitting in front of him, and he tells me over and over his professional opinion about getting them all pulled out and that laughing gas is not the better choice for anesthesia, I'm going to listen to him. Is it likely that it will be permanent?


Answers:

Hmmm.... if the bleeding is heavy and isn't stopping easily you should seek medical assistance. If you're experiencing continued numbness or tingling sensations, go seek medical assistance. If you don't feel comfortable with your oral surgeon then you should definitely go get checked out - wisdom teeth are often removed unnecessarily and it's an operation that is often botched... if that has happened then you need to know ASAP so if you have any doubts or continuing symptoms then don't delay, get it checked out. You cannot be too careful with your health.

Hope you're feeling better soon.
