Wisdom Teeth Extractions RECOVERY TIPS (How To Heal Fast)

- Getting your wisdom teeth out? Let's talk about how you can heal quickly by planning ahead!
These days, most dentists don’t need to prescribe strong pain pills or narcotics for wisdom tooth recovery. Instead, cold compresses or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories are all that’s needed. As long as you keep inflammation down, the recovery process can be as straightforward as possible. If prescription pain relieves are necessary, it’s usually only for the first day or so of your wisdom teeth recovery.
Most importantly, follow your surgical home care instructions as carefully as possible. That means no smoking, no drinking through a straw (the suction might pull your clot out and cause a dry socket) and again, taking medication as directed. You’ll also need to be really gentle about cleaning your mouth. Don’t brush around your extraction sites for several days and only rinse gently to remove food debris. Try to avoid spitting (again, because of dislodging the clot) and instead let any water just gently drip out of your mouth.
For the first few days of your wisdom teeth recovery, plan to stick to a soft diet. Food like yogurt, ice cream, pudding, applesauce, and cottage cheese are all great to have on hand. Since your mouth will be numb for several hours after the appointment, try not to have anything that’s too hot, such as soup. After several days you can move on to more firm foods. Just be sure to avoid anything that’s too hard or crunchy, as they might damage the extraction sites.

Whitney, Thank you for all of your great videos. Would you recommend having all 4 wisdom teeth extracted in a regular dentist office instead of a dental surgeon office?
I’ve been living off chocolate pudding, apple sauce, and jello since I got my wisdom teeth out this morning and I’m already sick of it !!!
Mashed potatoes, ice cream, salted baby food, macaroni, stuffing, ramen- i just got mine out this morning and i found that stuff works too!
I don’t even want milkshakes give me real food NOW lol
Same, I just want normal food😭
Me too I got mines pulled yesterday and I'm sick of pudding ,jello, apple sauce and soup
Me too i got mine pulled yesterday
Got my top wisdom teeth out I'm on day 5 don't be scared you will feel way better my headaches and chest pains went away asap don't be scared of getting the wisdom teeth out God bless everyone
Im 32 and gotta get them out due to an infection right now i already hate dentists so im kinda shittin myself lol
@markchambers6964 you will feel 100% better I don't regret getting them taken out
@@markchambers6964 My dad is 69 (yes, you may laugh at the funny number), and just got his out a few months ago. His recovery went perfectly smoothly.
@@markchambers6964I just got my extracted 😢
@@markchambers6964 how did it go ? Currently on day 2 and it sucks
i’m on day 5 right now and I am feeling so much better. Days 1 and 2 were the absolute worst. My swelling was insane but has almost gone completely down since. Cant wait to go back to eating solid foods again 😂
Did you feel numbness on your face on the first day?
@@chathuraudayangana275 just got mine removed on Thursday, and yes my lips are chin were numb for like the whole day
Were yours impacted?
@@nnedyarb same
How long did it take for u to eat burgers and things of the natute
To anyone who is in the same place dying and wanting the process to go faster and searching for answers, it sucks but it takes time, my best advice is work your way up to chewing, I was scared the first couple of days but I finally slowly started to chew softer foods and it helped a lot with the tightness and crap, it’s like physical therapy, don’t forget to do the salt water rinses by the way, they help a lot in making sure it doesn’t get infected or anything. Have a good day, drink water and get some sleep.
Got mine removed 3 hours ago,
Almost puking bc of the thick ass saliva i regret it all cant even swallow anything smh man
I am also feeling the same
@@Lowgggsame
@@Justin-tt7nn stay strong cuh. Its worse the first two days but after that it gradually gets better and after 5 days it shouldnt hurt nomo
I have to ask. I started eating slightly-solid food in the 5th day, and my jaw feels tight (or sore?). I guess this is normal since we didn't chew for a few days, and the jaw muscle just needs awakening?
“just relax and enjoy your healing”
OH HELL NAW
Lmao I am NOT enjoying this torturous healing
Yeah I’m not enjoying it😭
This is like a cruel kind of healing..😂😂
@@Azazelislost yes..you do. 😐😐Try to have something filling like shakes . It will be fine in 4 to 7 days
yeah frl 😭😭 this is hell on eartg
I got it done 5 days ago. My pain only peaked for couple hours and I didn’t fell pain overnight when I sleeping. I took ibuprofen 4 hours after my surgery. Bought a case of protein milk, yogurts. Days 2 I only ate yogurts. Day 3 I ate porridge and broth. Day 4 I started eating seedless fruit. Day 5 I had some coffee because I’m so caffeinated. Now I’m pain-free. My surgery is successful beyond my expectations
So you can eat what you want by day 5?👀
@@raquelshanks9852 it depends on how you feel, and your recovery speed… I would go easy on day 5 but literally on day 6, I can tell you yes I ate crunchy cereal with milk and it’s so yum lol
@@tienvdoan the cereal didn't open up the wound when you bit on it? I'm on day 3 and when I eat food I try to swallow it like a pill so I don't accidentally chew food on my wisdom teeth wound
@@masosoup4559 Your speed of recovery depends on your very first days. DO NOT eat chew or do anything but liquid food (gotta be patient first then it’d pay off). On day 5th or 6th, you can do a “chewing test…” take it easy and eat soft foods and fruit on first week, I would eat something like soft like soup or porridge on 5th or 6th. Then go next level eat pasta and noodle on day 7th and 8th and go up and up… I understand you must be super hungry for couple days. Only you know how you feel but on after first week, we should be able to eat our normal diet.
@@tienvdoan ok I'll take it slow for now thanks 🙏
If you’re reading this, and about to get yours out, i wouldnt be scared, I was terrified, got all 4 of mine out and there was nothing to be worried about. I know everyone might not have the same expeirence but heres mine. I’m on day three with absolutely no pain and can eat pretty good already. Also Sleeping just fine. Just do everything your doctor says and take your medicine and you will be fine. had hardly any swelling. I literally have no pain at all from all three days and I got no prescription narcotics, just ibuprofen and antibiotics.
How are you now? I got 4 pulled today. Very scared for day 2. I just want this to be done & over with.
@@TexasGirl22 i got mine out last friday and already mostly healed. i ate kystals today for lunch with no problem and went back to work today all good. still no pain or swelling hardly at all and i had to wear a respirator all day on my face. just rinse with salt water after eating and take it slow eating and drinking stuff for the first few days. and kept my head proped with 2 pillows while sleeping on my back. its not near as bad as i thought it would be all in all.
@@MattHawk5.0 Thants good to hear
Thx man getting my 4 out tommorow day 2 is definitely a worry
@@jakediminico332 bro im telling you, i was so stressed for literally nothing. it was a cake walk and im not good with pain usually especially anything dental. if i can do it trust me anyone can
My boyfriend just recommended this video since I got them out this morning and my orthodontist didn’t prescribe meds until just today and barely gave instructions on how to take care of myself aside from “no straw, no crunchy/spicy foods, no sports or smoking”
So thank you for this!
Do you know how long until you can smoke marijuana
@@dwaynebarnett-sp7qk I'm not sure, I don't really smoke but I would assume that you'd be goiod to do so when the orthodontist clears you for straws (I'm not a doctor though).
@@dwaynebarnett-sp7qkyou shouldn’t smoke anything, very bad for the lungs
@@dwaynebarnett-sp7qkLate to the party, but I advice to for safety not do it for solid 1 week or so, same goes for alcohol
Just got all 4 out today. Pretty swollen and the pain is moderate. I’ll give y’all an update tomorrow
I just got mine at two hours ago
got 2 out 6 hours ago, no pain right now, but can you guys eat food now? I'm still struggling with drinking water
broo same aha i got all 4 of mine out 2 days ago, it’s shitty not being able to smoke (been vaping for a couple years) but it’s actually been really good for me, pushing 72 hours and nothing too bad has happened
Got one pulled out plus a root canal treatment two days ago and still pretty sore 😞
Getting all four of mine out 3 days from today 😁 wish me luck
I am 3 days post surgery, got 4 wisdom teeth removed, local anesthesia and all were impacted, honestly it’s going pretty good, surgery was very easy, and as long as you take the medicines on time you won’t be in pain, but hey I just gave birth 3 weeks ago so that’s probably why I don’t find this pain bad at all, compared to giving birth this is nothing 😅😅😅
How long was the procedure?
Lilia Zavaleta about 40 min
Facts. I said the same thing. This pain is nothing compared to contractions and the whole birthing process. 😂
@@liliazavaleta7999 mines took almost and hour, but it took me a long time to wake up and get anesthesia out my system
The third day we’re you able to work/talk ?
I got 2 wisdom teeth out yesterday at 30 years old, still waiting for this insane pain everybody had me scared about beforehand 😂Didn't feel anything during the surgery (I was awake with injections) Been taking Ibuprofen every 6 hours and feel fine!
Thank you! Every other comment scares me lol
@Subi I got mine removed about 8 hours ago and it became really painful couple hours after extraction.. But after pain medication I just feel fine hehe
Just had my other 2 removed earlier today, my dentist had to battle with my lower right one, lots of drilling and tugging but I was too numb to feel anything. Feeling fine now just eating ice cream and taking Ibuprofen. Hope it goes well for you guys!
I just booked an appointment to get them removed with local anesthetic instead of falling to sleep. Falling asleep gives me anxiety, not the procedure. Everyone says the noise and cracking torments them if they stay awake… did you regret not sleeping?
Exactly! It’s not that bad as these comments are making it seem😂😂 I got one pulled the other day and I was fine the same day!
24 and just got 3 wisdom teeth that I had left taken out and Lord have mercy I'm in so much pain 😭 Can't wait to look back and be glad it's over!
Well now u can look back and see its over. Its been 3 weeks. I got mine done yesterday sadly😂😂
I get mine out the 18th all 4 and and only 1 is impacted how was healing for you
Just got mine out today the pain is not a good time and I’m scared to eat abything
I hope everyone's healing is going smoothly! I'm a few weeks away from the one-year mark from getting all four of mine out 😅
Just remember, you only have to do it once!
I'm officially looking back and am so glad it's over 😭
I got my wisdom teeth removed today and this video has calmed me down lol
Same it’s hurting 🥲😪 i came here to at least not feel like I’m dealing with this alond
@@caseycazares yeah nurses talked to me with masks on telling me the instructions and I couldn't understand anything and I couldn't even talked back to say what?🤣 this my third day I feel better. Not great but better👍

i got all 4 removed today and it wasn’t that bad lmao, but who knows how it’s gonna feel during the week
@@anasofiapalos3452 1-2 days are the worst they say and they really are this is my second day very painful 🥲 I’m hoping it gets better tomorrow
I was shaking the entire time. Doctors thought I was cold but I was just nervous
I got mine removed yesterday. I was shaking too much before the surgery, so the dentist had to wait a few minutes.
Me too! I was literally sweating
I’m on day 2
@@vminhope3040 how’s the pain?
@@mashi_rsa I don’t have any anymore. As long as you get through the first day and do everything you’re told.
I got all 4 of them removed a little over 2 months ago! The healing process was dreadful, but I'm glad everything's back to normal now :)
How long did it take to heal? I just went today for all 4 & it sucks so much. 😭
How long recovery?
@@karinagarcia1513 yes this recovery SUUUCKS. I just got mine taken out today
I just got 8 removed ,you’re scaring me 🥺
@@emmierene3898 at the very least it’s nowhere near as bad as having the actual toothache from a cavity. This is bearable compared to that nightmare
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience. I got my wisdom teeth removed at age 40 on 4-17-23. Surgery was around 10:30am so not quite 24 hours yet. No pain at all, even on yesterday. I’m so grateful for that as I was a nervous wreck on yesterday plus I suffer from hypertension. I took my first pain medication about an hour postoperative. I also chose the deep sedation option as well. I wasn’t fully asleep. I felt a lot of tugging on my right side as that was the difficult one to pulled as it was growing sideways. I will say, I had a lot of bleeding so I changed the gauze after an hour and bite down more. I kept releasing the fluids that build up in my mouth, by letting it just drip out no spitting. After about 3 hours or so, all the bleeding stopped. I slept fine. I woke up a little swollen and applied the cold pad. I take my medicine 7/3/11 every 8 hours on schedule. So far so good! Good luck everyone. You got this!!
I’m eating applesauce, yogurt, Jello, ice cream, sipping veggie broth and eating oatmeal. I may try mashed up baked fish later in the week.. I’m already sick of eating this stuff, lol
I got my wisdom teeth removed the same day at 10 am. I’m living off of pudding, applesauce, yogurt and mashed potatoes. Today is my worst day
@@kaa815 oh no! Sorry to hear this. I pray you get immediate relief🙏. I’m not having any pain, just soreness and swelling.. This is day 4.. try taking your medication on a schedule and salt rinse to keep your mouth clean. I’m lightly brushing not the areas where the stitches are… I had soft fish and grits for dinner!!
I got all 4 out today at 830am and I'm 40. Had similar experience with the gauze. Bleeding appears to be minimized now. I am just hyperaware when I eat even applesauce and mashed potatoes not to do any sucking or really have it go to those areas. Drinking water fine. I think I will take it easy with food today and start tomorrow with more regular eating with soft foods. Taking ibuprofen with antibiotics and pain is manageable so I'll definitely be sticking with the schedule plus I bought a head wrap ice pack from Amazon that makes it easy to ice both sides at the same time. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@angeladaniels2347 You’re very welcome and I ate very light the first day also. You got this! If memory serves me right, day 5-6 was good with no swelling! I even even cut down on pain medication because it made me nauseous. I only took the ibuprofen every 6-8 hours as needed for discomfort. Wishing you a speedy recovery..
@@Mrs.Jennifer_A thank you for the encouragement!🤗 One day at a time for sure
Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday… I’m got all 4 out, this pain is crazy I’m glad I got them all out at once so that I don’t have to go back to experience the same thing. Been eating vanilla ice cream,danimals yogurt, and mash potatoes 😭😭
Could you talk the day after?
I have important class the day after the surgeon.
And I have to read and write and concentrate.
And three days later I have an exam.
Please tell me if i will be able to do this. 😭
@@sarahv5869 I could talk fine right after but it’s kind of annoying might wanna see about a deadline extension
I took only two. Bc other two are under meat. Complicated. And gonna hurt like hell. Rip
I’m 26, got all 4 wisdom teeth out yesterday, and honestly doing great. I just got laughing gas and numbing shots. Dentist sutured 2 of my extraction sites. Took the high dose ibuprofen when I could feel the numbing shots wearing off.
After surgery, I started off with using gauze until there wasn’t fresh blood anymore and there formed clots on the extraction sites (dark reddish brown clump of blood covering the extraction sites). Didn’t eat until about 2-3 hrs later. Gently poured water in my mouth to get red of excess blood and let it pour out (no spitting the first day). Minimal movement.
At 24hrs now, have been taking it easy, eating icecream, other soft foods like lentils and pudding, I’m still doing well with recovery! Still doing a few daily activities. Little blood oozing here and there but for the most part it has stopped.
The worst part I would say is the gauze but that’ll only be a one day thing for you hopefully! I was prescribed steroids for swelling and higher dose ibuprofen. No crunchy/hard foods. Try eating with your front teeth and to break food, try squishing with your tongue at the roof of your mouth. Cleaning wise, No aggressive swishing but the next morning still brushing my teeth around the areas that aren’t near the extraction sites and putting in and letting water leave my mouth freely along with the toothpaste. GOODLUCK!!
How u feeling now
Did your face swell up?

Ay yrg
Fellow YRG member
How long did you keep the gauze in
Lol me too! And lol im scared of blood
So how was it now?
Got all 4 of mine pulled roughly 48 hours ago. Not much pain or swelling at this point, hopefully it stays that way. Don't let these comments freak you out, just follow the post op instructions your surgeon gives you and you'll be fine.
My experience has been the same! I was up and walking around again and feeling fine on day 2. Honestly I was so nervous and anxious before the surgery because of all the comments about expecting days of intense pain during recovery, but your comment was the only one that made me hopeful that it might not be the case, and my experience has been the same as yours which I’m so grateful for.
Day 1 was surgery day, I got intravenous sedation and then went home and slept the rest of the day with ice packs on my face. I took 3 tramadol when I could feel the sedation wearing off and felt fine except I vomited once (I think that’s from the nausea from the tramadol more than the pain) I didn’t eat anything on day 1 after surgery only because I wasn’t hungry. Day 2 woke up with lots of energy, hardly any pain and no swelling. I’ve been really surprised at how good I feel. Today is day 3 and I only took two Panadol for a very dull ache and again no swelling, no intense pain and my hunger and energy levels are back to normal. If I had known it was going to be this easy I would have done it years ago.
I just wanted to add to your comment to say it is possible to feel almost 100% again by day 2 after surgery, and that my experience was no where near as bad as everyone else had told me it would be.
I understand not everyone will have this experience but I wanted to say that it can happen.
My friend was literally eating pizza with me after he got all four out and told me he just had some pain but was fine so it does happen I think it depends on how the wisdom teeth are coming in
Yeah this is the typical experience for 90-95% of folks. Similar to why you'll see little good reviews at hotels and mostly bad reviews, even if the hotel is in great shape. People that have a good experience are less likely to comment than those with a bad experience.
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately. I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted this morning and all of your tips in this vid are just about almost spot on from what the Dental Surgeon instructed and very helpful. You also threw in a few more good reassuring tips in there for me as well. Thank you so much for this video! You are great at what you do! 🙏🏾
so happy to hear that! thank you for watching! wishing you continued dental health!
Hey Kuron it’s Shelby! I came across this video because I got my wisdom teeth pulled today. I thought it was cool to see your comment. Small world !
Did they put you to sleep for it? I got one removed and I thought it was so harrowing, can't imagine getting all four out on the same appointment. 😱😖
@@wenmoves just had all 4 of mine taken out a few hours. Just got a shot that numbed the area. It was not a great experience but I think it was just more me being incredibly anxious. Didn't feel any pain but I could feel them putting pressure on it.
Did you feel Anything during surgery did you have local anesthesia twilight sedation
I had impacted Wisdom teeth that were still 100% in the bone, and all I was told is "no work/school about 5 days, no extraneous activities for 2-3 weeks, no sneezing-blowing nose-forceful spitting as top teeth removal had some small holes in sinus area, and take these pain pills and anti-biotics".
This video helped me out, thank you.
What a great video!!! I’m 17 and getting my wisdom teeth out this week and I’m honestly terrified not for the surgery but more so the recovery!! This video definitely helped me feel better and have rest assured that everything will be ok!! Keep up the amazing work!!! :)
Im scared of the stuff they put you under when taking out your wisdom teeth. I don't wanna say something weird and feel embarrassed
How did you make out?
I’m getting mine out soon, how’d it go
So how did it go so I can know how scared to be
@@onyxtheprotogen7907 it was super easy, tbh days 5 and 6 were the worst for me. just get a ton of smoothies and antibiotics ready and youll be fine dont stress about it
Got my wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago, and I am in immense pain… my swelling is beyond bearable, and I can hardly open my mouth to drink water, let alone take meds for pain. I got all 4 taken out, and this is so painful compared to some of the other things I’ve done. Supposed to go back to work in a day, definitely not happening. This video definitely helped!
You aren’t alone currently suffering through this.
@@xxxicequeenxxx take Nurofen or Ibuprofen tablets 400mg (or 2x 200mg) every 4hrs will help relieve the pain.
How long did it took you to heal? I'm on day 6, got all 4 extracted, the lower ones were impacted. As far as I can see all 4 places we're sutured. First three days the pain meds weren't really working for me so I was in excruciating pain. By now at least the swelling is down, and I only have some discomfort on my lower jaw on the right side, I'd say it's a 4/10 . Still can't fully open my mouth though and I'm absolutely tired of consuming pretty much liquids 🙃
@@kiaralysc.m.9857 took me about a month to fully heal and be completely back to normal. I couldn’t take the pain meds because they made me puke- not a pleasant experience I’ll tell ya that. Wasn’t able to eat solid foot til about 4 weeks later. Its different for everyone tho haha.
I got my wisdom tooth remove today. The pain is so unbearable. I was sore before but this doctor was so rough
My doctor didn’t tell me how to heal it. All he said was what type of foods to eat and that was all, we he was finished he said okay we’re done, thank you for comming..
I'm on day four atm. So far I have no swelling, no pain and just a slight pressure on my lower jaw. I had all four wisdom teeth removed, hope it'll stay like this for the next week and a half.
Update: i stopped taking the pain killers, I never needed it. My face remained the same pre surgery(no swelling) and never felt pain. Fully recovered. I'm guessing cleaning my teeth with oraMD and maintaining mouth ecosystem lessened the risks of infection.
I just got my top and lower right wisdom teeth taken out today!! I’m like super scared to eat food/swallow anything 😭😭 but I’m gettin over it and the pain is subsiding...just gotta chillax y’know 😎😎 I’m sure you’ll have an awesome recovery tho!!
I took Xanax for the pain
Just got all 4 wisdom teeth removed a few hours away. This vid was perfect. Very informative. Thank you.
Did it hurt ?
@@wonderofmen6261 To be completely honest, not one bit. Just numbness of the jaw the rest of the day, but nothing bad. I was put under anesthesia & went out like a light before I knew it. Woke up & the procedure was done. It felt like I was under for about 5-10 min when it actually took about an hour to complete. Very pleasant experience with the surgeon I went to. :)
@@Slocus_Frank wait what? You were asleep the whole time? I thought you have to stay awake during the procedure
@@Forever_Dan nope they put me to sleep, you can do both but anesthesia usually costs more
What have you been eating wit them teeth, bullets?
This is THE BEST post tooth extraction video in the game. Straight to the point and extremely descriptive answering ALL questions that one would have.
👍💙👍
I bought one of those small toothbrushes made for toddlers - extra soft bristles. It really helped me clean my teeth post extraction without hurting the extraction site where I had stitches too.
Smart guy
I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday and have been in nothing but pain, last night I threw up a bunch because of the meds I took on an empty stomach. The pain eased more today than yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow is better!
How are you today
How are you now? İmma do this soon and I'm scared bro
how are you doing now? i’m getting mine removed this saturday and i’m extremely nervous of the aftermath of the surgey
I got mine removed on march 16th this year. And I got to say, it was quite bearable.... The procedure did hurt a bit (though I was numb), but afterwards, no swelling and no pain. And above all, no money needed as my insurance paid it. Fast forward, exactly 3 months today, bone has grown back and there is no hole at all now.
Just got two removed plus a cavity. Day one of recovering! Please pray for me! So far just uncomfortable but no pain. Just staying on top of my medication and resting.
I tried not to sneeze but my brain was like here’s 5 big sneezes at full pressure for you and your wisdom tooth which just got pulled out a few hours ago 😊
NOOO I HATE THAT TF
IVE BEEN SO SNEEZY
For those watching this later pro tip. Tickle the roof of your mouth with your tongue when you feel a sneeze coming on. It reduces the feeling of needing to sneeze.
And the ice compression packs and the cold yogurt doesn’t help with sneezing lol
Girl how about I threw up!! 😩😩
Got all four taken out Friday(did not go under). I stopped taking Tylenol and ibuprofen after the first day cause surprisingly I felt little to no pain with the exception of sensitive gums and jaw stiffness. Had barely any swelling, and I went back to eating what I usually eat the night of. I was expecting a lot of pain but I guess everyone recovers differently
I just got 4 of my wisdom removed today i ate a whole pineapple that was cut 6 hours before the removal and let me tell you best decision I made I’m already up and walking with only a bit of soreness and my face isn’t puffy. I’ll see how tomorrow looks but right now I feel great and glad it’s over with now. Don’t stress it’ll be over before you know it!
Edit sorry for not answering your questions but after the meds wore off I was perfectly fine I only got a little nauseous which is normal but day 2 I was okay and still walking around without using and of the gaws I hope everyone had a smooth recovery ♥️
Getting mine taken out on Monday and I'm scared lol definitely including a pineapple now🍍 how groggy and out of it are you after waking up? I'm going under for the procedure
@@GabysCloud21 I just got mine today...I was totally out of it for about 5 minutes after I woke up...super weird feeling I woke up hysterically laughing...I can honestly say I'm in almost zero pain right now just 6 hours after surgery
@@GabysCloud21 hiiiii I just took mine out literally a few hours ago and you have nothing to worry about! I didn’t eat any pineapple or anything and my face was only a bit puffed, so I guess if you eat the pineapple it won’t be puffed at all 😊, after the surgeons put me to sleep I just remember waking up my face was numb for a bit and I couldn’t talk but that went away after like 20 minutes, you aren’t at all out of it your brain is normal and stuff and your conscious don’t worry you won’t say any bad stuff, and as long as you take ur medication and stuff ur teeth won’t hurt 😁 hope this helps and good luck!
Is excessive saliva normal on day 1 ?
@@str8kronic how are you now? My swelling has gotten so bad I look like a chipmunk 😭
I’ve gotten my wisdom teeth removed right before Christmas (which was a terrible Idea by my mother) And I feel like my recovery has been slower compared to my friends who also got theirs pulled out. I watched this video and realized that some of the things I was supposed to be doing I was doing incorrectly. So thank you for this hopefully I’ll recover quicker.
Just got mine pulled an hour ago, it didn't hurt at all after the numbing needle. I had the wisdom tooth and next to it removed. I look forward to no more nerve pain. The tooth pain was 10000x worse than the pain of removal. I am mentally prepared for the swelling and pain and even more prepared for the green pastures ahead
I just got my pulled a hour ago do you think I’m able to go to work tomorrow?

Here to tell to you guys that this does apply for everyone. It’s been a week since I got my top and bottom wisdom teeth removed (both on my left side) and I’m still having tons of discomfort (pain is about a 4/10) my lower jaw on my left side is still hurting and throbbing.
Last time I got the lower left one out. I did not feel the need to take the painkillers even though I got prescribed. But the discomfort to wash my face on the area lasted about a month. Today I got all other 3 pulled out. Just hope I don’t get dry socket and the healing process goes well.
How are you feeling now? I think it’s because it takes a long time for the bone on your lower jaw to heal which may indicate discomfort
@@rein3950 oh really??!!
No wonder I'm still in so much pain. Thnks for this info
@@Creme_Nelz DRY SOCKET - go back they will repack with Sage and the pain will be gone!
I had all 4 removed at 24 and would not recommend that if you are worried about pain. I’m on day 2 now and the swelling is huge and the pain is almost worse. Even with multiple pain meds.
I got my top two out a few days ago. Local anaesthetic. It was NOT BAD AT ALL. Yes you hear the cracking of the tooth dislodging from the bone (mine were impacted) but it´s quick and painless. Recovery has been great, barely any pain, no swelling and now at day 3 i´m eating salmon and eggs just fine. I think the key is a wonderful oral surgeon who knows how to work the jaw and get those teeth out efficiently! My advice is don´t read all the negative stuff online, I was like that and was panicking beforehand but i´m so surprised about my experience, it was great!
I am in early 30s and got my all 4 wisdom tooth removed 10 days ago, I am recovering well and able to eat food. Few things that helped me recover quickly and helped with swelling:
1. Have ICE packs ready and start using it on face soon after surgery even if no pain. Use it consistently for at least few days.
2. Regularly take antibiotics to avoid any infections and IBUPROFEN for pain.
3. Eat soft food like Apple sauce, Jelly, Yogurt, milkshakes, soups, broth, etc
4. Avoid any strenuous activities.
5. From 2nd day onwards take hot showers, it helped me a lot with swelling.
6. Do Salt water rinses to avoid any infections.
Same here I’d got mine if I my early 30s I thought I would never but one day they started to come out and the pain was he’ll had to go that same day to extract the top 2
It’s been 3 days since I’ve got 4 wisdom teeth out and honestly the worst part is the prescriptions they gave me, I have to take 3 pills multiple times a day and it has me in and out of sleep, my days feel so short and I find myself lost a lot lol
How are you feeling now?
@@brisaalmeida8139 I feel really great now, Google says recovery takes around 3-4 days to a week but I think a full month would be more accurate. You should stop feeling pain and discomfort after a week or so but little things such as brushing your tongue or opening your mouth wide won’t feel comfortable for a while. I’m 3 weeks in, close to a month and my mouth is still healing but everything’s pretty normal now.
That’s what I’d want in my opinion. What did they give you?.
Hi I had the same thing 4 days ago.
Right now I’m still afraid to rinse my mouth vigorously (with my cheeks as she has shown), and to eat chewable food because I know I’m not cleaning perfectly my mouth given how I rinse.
Can you tell me pls when you got back on normal food? When did you start rinsing?? When did you start brushing the back of your last molars??
@@braymay6961 They gave me penicillin v potassium, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen I believe
Got both my lower removed yesterday. I'm doing great till now. TH-cam had me scared tbh lol
Edit: been a month now. All healed up and good. Recovery was pain-free and easy 😁

I will definitely be following your instructions as well as the dentists office. But it helps to hear your information first just in case they forget to tell me something 😆 Good luck to those of you that have yet to experience it🙏🏽💞
I'm on day 4 today. One mistake i made was probably trying to chew too early, even if it was soft (luke warm lasagna, then pasta). I wish i stuck to baby food and smoothies because i think it was just extra strain on my jaw. Now i am paying for it because day 3/4 is now harder for me than day 1/2.

Got mine out 4 days ago most of the pain is gone. I have swelling still thought and a bad taste in my mouth they they say to get rid of with salt water. I hope I’m able to eat normal foods again soon.
Just got my wisdom teeth removed today. Hope it’s a good and healthy recovery.
Lol same here 😂 let’s hope we’re recovered asap
I don't have my wisdom teeth removed but I had a tooth extraction today and this is the similar steps I need to follow also I watched your videos and it calmed me down when I went to the dentist thank you
Thank you for the video! I was scared when I was bleeding a lot. My lips and tongue is numb. I feel really dizzy and watching this video comforts me. Thank you for the tips!
Thanks. This helped a lot on what to do. My dentist was like you can eat and drink normally after numbing is gone. Brush teeth normally as well. No aftercare advice besides switch the gauze every 15 minutes until you stop bleeding. And rinse with salt water a couple of time the next day.
I had my upper wisdom tooth removed 24 hours ago with local anesthetic. I felt absolutely no pain only the pressure as the dentist took it out. The numb went away about 2-3 hours later and I took my first painkiller to avoid the start of the pain. About 2 hours later I went sleep and I had a pain free full night sleep. I was not in pain, only discomfort and the fear of the big pain that everybody talks about. Also my spit was full of blood even 4 hours post surgery. In the morning I still had the discomfort but no pain. Since it is almost 24 hours now, even the discomfort starts to go away but of course I am very gentle with it, I turmix down everything that I eat. But I already ate so much tbh :D I take ibuprofen as painkiller in every 8 hours with the antibiotics. I hope it also will be fine in the rest of my recovery.

It took me a full 2+weeks to fully recover from mine with stitches. The extraction was brutal, my gland under my jaw was swollen and it affected my TMJ to the point I couldn't open my jaw pass 1 finger for the whole 1st week. I was on really strong pain meds. But the most frustrating thing was not being able to fully open my jaw to eat thing, it got to a point where I actually had a mini break down and cried trying to get a piece of steak fries (thick cut french fries) into my mouth.
"Mini break down" lol
Got me all touched but sorry i had to laugh at the mini break steak, I guess my situation is similar to yours, i can’t open my mouth to eat at all

My wisdom teeth were removed over the course of two appointments, my uppers actually came out perfectly straight, so my normal dentist pulled them out first. This happened over summer. My last two were just removed yesterday and they were partially impacted. Procedure went well since they sedative they used made the process fast. Currently recovering on day 2
Update: Near fully recovered with no post op pain

Getting one wisdom tooth extracted at a time. First one took 10 days to heal. Got the second one done 12 days after the first one. Learned some valuable lessons. The swishing one is important to follow. I fasted after the procedure for 48hr then took my antibiotics for 4 days every 12 hrs and an aspirin every 8 until day 9

When did you get the other two removed after the second one?
Don’t take aspirin guys - it’s not good for the bleeding !
4 simple tips after tooth removal. I got one of my tooths taken out and throughout the process 2 months later never felt pain.
Tip 1
Rince when u get home gently to wash any blood out amd have a cleaner mouth
Tip 2
Sleep elevated upwards not flat or on ur stomach if u drool u will drool blood.
Tip 3
After 24 hours take some honey and try to get it into the socket as much as possible. Do the same with aloe vera. Morning and night. And salt water rince at night.
Tip 4
Eat soft foods first few days then slowly eat other stuff.
Do all that first week
Second week take away the second and fourth step u can sleep regularly and u can start eating harder stuff.
Third week with no pain and if done all as said it should already be closing lil by lil. End of the month u should feel back to normal but minimize anything hard u might want to eat slow bites. Keep up the honey and salt water routine until the first month is done. And u should be alright
Had my 4 wisdom teeth pulled all I a matter of 10 minutes. No swelling no pain. No medicine. Back to work in the morning. Good to go!
Bullshit
Lucky you!! Hope all good by now. I have impacted wisdom which is damaging the next molar teeth so its time for its removal, saw some vdos on TH-cam on wisdom extraction which made me nervous
Dentists don't pull teeth on opposite sides at the same time, well that's usually in my experience here where I live...I had to extract 3 teeth, one on my left side, and two on the other side, the dentist told me they can only do one at a time...kinda makes sense but I'm not a dentist😂

Definitely ice on and off throughout the day and staying hydrated is really important. Today I switched to a warm compress and started gently rinsing with salt water.

How you feel now??
I’m on day 6 and somehow managed to have zero pain this entire process. I never had to take pain meds, just my prescribed ibuprofin and Tylenol. The worst part for me is the eating. I’ve been so lethargic because I’ve been living off of high protein breakfast drinks and liquid yogurt. I was scared to eat soft foods as it was getting stuck in the sockets and wouldn’t come out with swishing. Now that I got the thumbs up to use syringe on day 5 to clean the sockets, I’ve been incorporating soft foods and I feel 100% better.
I just got my wisdom tooth removed yesterday, no significant pain so far, though I used ice packs overnight to relieve swelling. I had bread, scrambled egg and ice cream for dinner and ate porridge and soup the day after. No painkiller as well only antibiotics.
What happen after? Did it hurt?
I’m writing my will since I’m getting my wisdom teeth removed by the end of the year. I’m legit scared for my life
Just dont watch any videos of actual extractions beforehand
I just got mine removed. It wasn't all that bad at all, but then again everyone is different. The worst pain comes from looking at really good food that you can't eat haha
Try to sleep early before the extraction, get a good 8 hours of sleep; eat some eggs or good breakfast that has oatmeal, yogurt and avocado toast. Try wearing comfy clothes. Wear some light cardigan, some sweatpants.
You got this. They numb your mouth, so you won’t feel pain during the extraction.
don’t eat or drink anything 8hours prior to surgery
@@lavidaesbella4028 It depends on when you get it done. I get all four of my wisdom teeth removed in 5 days, and my orthopedic surgeon told me to not eat or drink 6 hours prior to the procedure. (my appointment is at 8:15 in the morning), but I will just cut off eating/drinking at 12:00 am.

I don't know who needs this but I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out today. I overthink everything so much it's genuinely scary like what If I die while I'm under anesthesia bc the blood? That's just a small example but anyway, it was one of the easiest things I've ever done at the dentist. I came in freaking out scared bc I've never been put under using anesthesia and if you can handle an iv (I'm pretty good with needles) I literally don't remember what happened after that until I woke up.

Hi everyone, here should be a text version of the video! Let me know if there are lacking information.
Wisdom tooth recovery for day 1:
-can bleed up to 24 hrs
-elevated head rest
-no hot drinks, alcohol, spicy food
-ice the area for swelling
To prevent dry sockets:
-bite on gauze an hour after extraction
--oozing is normal
--switch gauze after 1 hr
-no spitting, no straws
-no sucking, smoking
-dont rinse, or brush the area
-sneeze thru the nose
-no workout
-no heavy swishing to keep blood clots intact
discomfort:
-ice pack
-meds (OTC meds or what's prescribed)
once numbness wears of:
-drink lots of water
-soft foods
for day 2 onwards:
-can start to eat normally again, avoid crunchy
-brush carefully
-antibiotics (if prescribed)
-first 2 days are the worst, swelling starts to disappear after 2 days
-rinse warm saltwater to further reduce swelling (tilt head, not harsh swishing)

what mistakes did u make
@@waltthesalt Anesthesia was still waring off of me and I didn't read the instructions then. I couldn't open my mouth, but I was extremely dehydrated, so I used a straw to help me drink. It turned out okay and I stopped when my dad told me I shouldn't be doing that. I also drank hot drinks and rinsed my mouth a little bit within the first 24 hours. On top of that, I didn't use the little squirt tools I was given until way later. I did almost every mistake you could possibly imagine, but there's no sign of infection or dry socket for me. Then again everyone is different and I'm convinced I was just extremely lucky. Be careful and follow every instruction as closely as possible. I did some research and realized dry socket is also a small percentage of patients who go through the process if that makes you feel any better. I was extremely scared about it until I read that. I was able to relax and recover with a peace of mind. :,)

Doesn't hurt whatsoever after they give you anesthesia. You'll only have a numb pain after it all wears off but two paracetamol every 4 hours takes the pain away

These tips have been a life saver. I didn't know what to expect. Recovery hasn't been too bad given that mine were erupted so surgery wasn't as invasive. I was put under IV sedation and I felt zero pain during the procedure nor do I remember any of it! Probably for the best. The hard part is the recovery process as you have to rest and having to be put on a soft food diet for some time.

okay so it's been 48 hours since I removed my left wisdom teeth.
Day 1: I had my surgery at 15pm. I was super nervous but everything went good once I was put under anesthesia. I wasn't feeling my mouth at all until 21-22pm, I took a painkiller (prescribed by the dentist) and went to have dinner. I had about 5 spoonfuls of mashed potatoes for dinner and went to rinse with mouthwash. A tip: sleep sitting up or lying down on several cushions to avoid bleeding!
Day 2: omg. the pain. I spent the night well (although I woke up many times) and woke up very hungry. I had some milk with biscuits soaked in it and took my painkiller and antibiotic. These days are really hot where I live so I went to the swimming pool to get a little wet (I didn't swim or make any sudden movements because my cheek hurt). Also, the swelling became more noticeable but I brought it down with ice every 10 minutes, resting 3 :)
Day 3: just had mashed potatoes (again). The swelling worsened, but it's okay since I can bring it down with some ice. I am looking forward to the day when I can chew some meat or bread. Tonight I'll try eating something tougher. I haven't had any bleeding these days (I'm being very careful about that) and I'm applying ice most of the time.
I will try to update everyday until I can finally eat without much pain! Good luck to everybody whose teeth has also been removed!

My advice: minimize medicines, and stick to water and salt instead of antibiotics.
I hope everyone stays healthy and safe!
I’ve had 2 tooth extractions before but I’ve never been more afraid than getting my wisdom teeth removed >_
Thank you so much for the info in this video. I had 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted today. And so far, it's been a really good experience.
How are you feeling? I'm on day 6, got all 4 extracted and they were impacted. As far as I can see all places we're sutured. But God, those first three days I was in excruciating pain.
@@kiaralysc.m.9857 My recovery process went smoothly. I'm doing great. It's been 3 weeks since I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Only the 2 lower ones were impacted.
Really sorry to hear that you were in excruciating pain for the first 3 days. Hope you're in better shape now. Take care.
Watched this several times leading up to my surgery. The hours immediately after were the worst. Since then, it’s been pretty smooth sailing.
The dentist is suppose to apply a suture that naturally melts once the affected pulled area starts to heal. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
Some dentist automatically place a suture , some dentist don’t and you have to actually ask the dentist to place one or two. Just depends on what practice you go to and where
my dentist applied sutures, but it still bleeding, day 1. doc too said that bleeding is expected and he suggested to swallow that and not to spit.
I have my appointment on the 26th to extract all 4 of my wisdom teeth. I have severe anxiety so this is a huge step for me. I cannot express to you how thankful I am for this video. Put my mind as ease a little bit knowing the tips you gave in this video. Thank you!!!
thank you for watching! you got this :) sending positive toothy vibes your way!
Girl I was too had two plus a molar removed today and it’s been almost 3 hours since....I’m doing ok lol still numbed 😂....the process was quick and painless!
I'm deathly afraid of needles the the process for me was so dang scary! But I made it through and I don't even remember my husband picking me up and taking me home. I don't even remember walking up the stairs to our house and getting into bed. It took 3 hours at put us at about 3:30 when I was done. My ass didn't wake up at home till 8p
! The pain is out of this world but man I'm so glad its over. Good vibes sent your way and I hope you have a speedy quick recovery!♡
@@stefanyzambrano7325 how was the pain in the following days?
@@virtuallyd3ad it has been 6 days since my surgery and I’m doing good 👍🏼🙂....I have my dental checkup tomorrow so I’ll let you guys know if I’m healing well lol.....but I’d say the first 3 days were the most uncomfortable but not painful if you take your meds I was on amoxicillin and ibuprofen (800mg) and I also found that ice packs help immensely also sleep upright! Don’t swish liquids in your mouth, no straws, no smoking, solids or anything hot. I’m still on an all liquid diet and I blend everything. I am super careful about getting a dry socket. But just be gentle with it and you should heal just fine!🙂 don’t exercise either and rest as much as you can.
Just got all four extracted. Completely with it, thought I was going to be high af lol. No pain so far, though the blood in my mouth is bugging me and I feel completely bump in my lower haw and lip area. I honestly have always done very well with anesthesia, so I really wasn’t worried about the procedure at all. Hopefully I won’t be in too much pain as the days go on.
im getting mine out tomorrow and im seriously hoping i dont reveal all my deepest darkest secrets lmao 😭😭
@@namoclock3546 I thought for sure I was 😂😂 but honestly it’s gone really well so far. I’m on Day 2 and my swelling isn’t too bad and I’m not in pain. Honestly the worst part is having to sit upright (even when I sleep) and having to change the gauze. But gauze is out now, so pretty much just eating scrambled eggs and applesauce and icing every 20-30 minutes. Been listening to podcasts and catching up on work in between icings. Wishing you the best!!!
I suggest you should get some goz it will help stop the bleeding and also put an ice pack on your cheeks it should help with the swelling
I just got all four of mine out today too ! the pain isn’t too bad, but it’s only the first day. My lower jaw is numb though, bc they used local anesthesia. Other than that what’s your recommendation on eating the first day ? I’m scared of getting anything In the area :/
@@vacou2016 mashed potatoes, applesauce, smoothies without any small bits (like berry seeds, chia, flax etc). I also ate small cubes of banana bread and scrambled eggs unchewed, just swallowed it.
Got a wisdom tooth out today - took less than a minute. No pain or discomfort. I’m not gloating, I guess I got lucky - but just to show people that it’s not always a nightmare that I heard about before I went in all terrified!
