Rinsing with warm salt water several times a day will help speed up the healing. Don't eat or drink anything for at least an hour and make sure to do it the last thing before bedtime.

Now you're not gonna have no wisdom!

Why did you even remove them?

At least yours is going to heal.

Back in the late 2000s, early 2010s, I woke up one night with a stabbing pain in my jaw.

I had all of my wisdom teeth removed the year before, but one tooth was in a bad position and they decided to decline removing it. It was in the lower jaw, right side.

I got an X-ray at the ER and it showed the tooth had managed to get into the nerve. They gave me a list of specialists to see as soon as possible and numbed me up enough to give me some relief for a couple of days.

I got the first appointment I could. After a drastic surgery which resulted in me getting choked while I was awake and under anesthesia for a couple of hours, I woke up to a surgeon telling me that I was one of the most difficult surgeries that he had to take.

A few days later, I couldn't move my jaw at all, or feel anything. They said it was normal.

A month later, it was still in the same condition. While I had some of the movement and feeling on the inside of my jaw return, the feeling on the bottom right side of my face never came back.

It's been years since then. I've been through therapy and I've forced myself to have better jaw movement through some days of intense pain and soreness. What did the surgeon say? "You're lucky you can still move and feel everything in your tongue."

I still have to sleep with covers on all of my pillows for the random days when I fall asleep and wake up covered in drool, not even by choice. I have a revolving subscription on Amazon for Anbesol because I'm constantly biting my lip in places that I can't feel and I only know because my lip and gums start to swell. I've had girlfriends break up with me and tell me that I can't kiss them the way that they like, for obvious reasons.


TLDR: Whatever way you feel, you're lucky man. Someone else could have it way worse.

Had both on the left removed I think September 2018. There was surprisingly no lingering pain. The surgeon knocked me out and did a fantastic job.

I don't recall getting my wisdom teeth removed being all that bad.
Took the day off.
Procedure in morning.
Spent the afternoon playing video games.
Back to work with cotton balls in my mouth the day after.

It literally takes two days, mate.
You can just have soups and smoothies for two days

Eat only steak and salt every day and soak up as much sun as you can without burning. Take magnesium citrate or glycinate and a chelated copper supplement. (Or grass fed beef liver assuming it has sufficient copper)

I promise this will help you heal fast.

How long? It took my kid a...week?

Just bee yourself bro

You are a whiney bitch.

I hate that feeling of something in that socket, it's weird.

Waterpik is your friend.

Stress isn't going to help heal faster or properly. Stay hydrated and eat the right foods. Relax, buddy. Healing properly is better than fighting possible infection. Eat lots of cooling cucumber.
