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.
That's what the Waterpik is for. If you get foreign debris in there it washes it out with a gentle jet of water, rather than trying to dig in there with some solid implement.
Still on second week. I think being forced to open my mouth at full capacity near immediately might have ripped something on the bottom hole.
Other catch is the forced diet goes directly against the diet I have to eat for colitis.
I’ve been doing dental shit for 4 months lol now. Just wanna change my fucking job or get more pay already. Can’t even lift to add to my madness. Can’t play the saxophone. Just gotta sit and rot eating stuff about ready to make me puke for maybe 3 or more weeks if the one socket got screwed up. Not even supposed to check it properly.
I guess I got lucky. I also knew a guy who nearly died and took six months to recover from wisdom tooth removal. I actually had forgotten about him till now

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)
As someone with colitis that actually pays attention to the affects of food.. The right food definitely gives you significant jumps in healing just in single meals. Once I got back to blended meats in the blended potatoes I started getting significant healing jumps just in one day. Thanks!

Colitis? Definitely experiment with an elimination diet. Don’t want any plant toxins, proteins, or fiber to mess with your large intestines.
This organ is responsible for serotonin production which gives us joy. I get depressed and fatigue the next day if I eat garbage. Guess I’ll have to wait for my birthday to have that pizza and carbs.
I just ate a first normal meal at day 12. Shit stuck all in the ‘socket’ areas. Not happening again until I’m more comfortable brushing those areas lol (which may only be a few more days).
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.
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.

Yikes I'm so sorry to hear that. It's definitely about as good as it could be. 95% flawless job / perfect conditions.. Was definitely shocked when they showed me a video there with what all could happen. My main whiney bitch is because of life complications I've been working a job I was supposed to leave 3 months in, 2 years ago. The dental work is the last complication. Wish people informed on the complications that can come from wisdom teeth surgery. Why tf do dentists just let these teeth go bad? (that's how mine ended up needing removed)
We're just designed with a bunch of spare parts, so to say. Not a bad thing until it becomes something that hinders our normal course of business.
There's an extremely expensive surgery that gives me a better percentage chance of recovery, but it's risky and could result in more damage to the area if not performed correctly. I've been wagering on whether or not I would get the surgery done when I can afford it. It's not a decision that I'm going to take lightly.

Retarded. tell those bitches that by year 15 theyre not going to want that retarded movie kissing anyways. if they were going to break up with you anyways go full throttle.
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.
Please tell me you aren't smoking, vaping drinking through straws or sucking dicks; I know they warned your ass not do those things or else it wouldn't heal.
All of mine removed by an army dentist in 1984, with a lot of cracking and popping noises.
Roots of the teeth looked like old tree roots, all twisted around.
But the really fun part didn't come til years later, when all the sharp little fragments of bone that had been left behind started surfacing through my gums a piece at a time.
It took fucking YEARS for all of that shit to finally come out.
(Apparently I have offended the delicate sensibilities of our resident jewish dentist. Good.)
Shit man I just took two of them out days in a row. Fucked up confusing experience because I didn’t know that could happen and thought my gums were down to the bone or I was continually picking off scabs with the end result of taking the gum down to the bone.
That’s from some root canal / crown work from a month ago or so.
