I am getting my upper left molar extracted today. I had my upper right molar removed a few years ago, but I forgot what it was like. I have watched a few of these videos from various dentists. While they were all informative and helpful, you are the only dentist who actually responded to the comments. Thank you for that! As a side note, I have a very small mouth and jaw. After my upper right molar was removed my teeth shifted and made that side of my mouth more comfortable and easier to floss the teeth. I am looking forward to the same thing happening on the left side! Thanks again. 😀
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Went pretty well.I was knocked out cus of my anxiety but now im just bleeding a decent amount but that is it.Ty again for the lovely video
Blessed good afternoon doc. Thank you sooooooooo much for your help advice n support 🥰🙌. Do have a very blessed safe day 🥰. Hollering at you from all the way in the tiny islands of St Vincent n the Grenadines in the Caribbean 🥰🙏
Nope, I was partly sedated, brain go fly made to max, because of my anxiety. But, thank you. I didn't know what to do since I received no instructions, that or I couldn't find, and it had been bleeding for a few hours now.
Hey Doc, very informative video and good work on it. I just had two teeth removed, one upper, one lower, 3rd from the back, and another two to go in a little over a week in preperation for braces. I notice the clot continually coming out doing simple things like drinking water. Its been 24 hours since extraction and I am concerned that little things like eating mashed potatoes, or drinking water will cause more clotting to be removed. How am I supposed to get to a point of brushing my teeth, or rinsing with salt water if I cant even eat mashed potatoes without removing a clot? Also, how do I clean the food out of the extraction site without removing the clot?
Give the extraction sites another day before you start rinsing. It is normal to see little bits of blood in the beginning. Once the clots are firmly established in the extraction sockets you should be able to brush your teeth and rinse without disturbing them. Thank you very much for watching.
Interesting that when I was in my thirties, I had a wisdom tooth extracted, and never worried about dry socket. After having two toxic molars extracted this morning, I'm a basket case.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Two and a half weeks have elapsed, and just had a follow up with my oral surgeon. Both sockets are healing nicely. There is a little aching every now and then.....but nothing ibuprofen can't handle. Both molars were surgically extracted, closure of both sockets may take a few more weeks. No complaints.
You would've made a better dentist for me. Much of the dentists I had were dishonest enough to neglect mentioning early signs of enamel erosion and gum recessions. All they ever kept focused on was mainly if whether or not and I had cavities. Even when they said no cavities there ought to have been other problems by then. And one appointment they said I had no cavities. A week later however I felt pain and then they revealed that they had xrays showing that I ALREADY had a deep cavity that required a root canal. These cheap dentists had only allowed things to become much worse than they had to be.
i have to have several removed in hospital knocked out mid january not a fan of it but they are really bad ive had major pain and infections cause of it too
No because they didn't believe allergy and lost 35-40# hopefully this one will come through. More expensive than Manhattan prices but I'd pay just to have this out! Lol
I will be having a molar extraction next week and I'm being pressured to either get a bone graft or collagen, I don't want either one. I'm having nightmares of returning to the dentist, however, this molar needs to get extracted ASAP. Any recommendations
Depending on the situation, if you are thinking of having an implant placed to replace the tooth you are losing, a bone graft may be helpful, or it may not be necessary.
Hi Doc. I had a lower tooth pulled on June 16th. It broke off and the dentist had to dig out the root. I realize it's normal to have some small fragments work themselves to the surface but there is a sharp piece on the inside of my gums that is poking through that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I have yellowish white jelly like stuff in the socket itself, which I think is that granulating material that helps it heal. But what bothers me the most right now is that piece of tooth or root or whatever it is sticking out and my tongue keeps rubbing against it getting sore. The gums in that area are very sore and red. It basically feels like when a baby is cutting teeth. Lots of drooling and dull pain. I've been taking ibuprofen to minimize the pain. Is it ok to use Orajel as a topical numbing medication on the gums? I also accidentally disturbed the white stuff, will it grow back together to close the hole? I'm concerned about infection and since I've run out of antibiotics I tried calling my dentist to see if he could prescribe some more, but the receptionist won't let me talk to him. She said that she would give him the message that I called but I never heard back and now it's the 4th of July weekend. I've never had an extraction take this long to heal or have stuff poke through the gums and not come out. Anything I can do to help this heal properly?
Try to get in and see your dentist as soon as you can. Best thing for the discomfort is ibuprofen, and rinse out regularly to keep the area clean. Is the sharp piece of bone/tooth wiggly?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental no, it's not wiggly at all and they won't see me without upfront payment. The extraction had to be paid in full too before the procedure was done. It still has not healed and it's been almost a month now. I've been rinsing with salt water and I've been taking Ibuprofen. My request for additional antibiotics fell on deaf ears. I never heard back from them. I don't think I'll return to this "dentist". I'm done with them.
Can't say without seeing him. What he's describing could be a piece of tooth, a bone spicule, or the edge of the socket, but it sounds like it's a problem that needs to be addressed.
Hey doc! Great informative video! I had my right second molar tooth extracted yesterday and was wondering if I am able to drink ice coffee today? Without a straw?
I got my upper right molar pulled Monday, if Friday and still hurts and my right upper eye by my brow hurts too Im on antibiotics 3xday and ibuprofen as needed a hopefully the pain and pressure will go away
Sorry to hear about your situation. It will get better, it just takes time. If the pain gets worse or if you notice any swelling, call your dentist right away. Thank you very much for watching.
😭 I saw this too late. After I got home I went to pull the gauze out and it was still bleeding. My mouth was full of blood so I rinsed my mouth out - 3 times in a row. Lots of blood. Then I put another gauze in. Bit down 10 minutes. Still bloody. Put new gauze in. Less blood. Did this 3 times. Last gauze was not as much so I took it out and drank a milkshake. 🤦🏽♀️ I’m thinking recipe for dry - I don’t even want to say it!!😭
Your dentist should have given you some extra gauze to take home with you. Tea bags work well as a substitute, otherwise you can use a small piece of clean cloth. Don't use a tissue or paper towel, bits of it can get stuck to the extraction site. Give your dentist a call, they can give you more gauze. Thank you very much for watching.
Hi Doc, You are awesome for giving all this valuable information. I really appreciate that.🙂 My father, age 63, has been taking Aspirin 75mg daily as an antiplatelet for the past 2 years since he had a stroke. Our neurologist has advised strictly not to stop Aspirin 75mg before or after the extraction and to continue taking it. I found some literature online and on "medicine interaction checkers" that Ibuprofen should not be taken with when Aspirin is active in the body. So can he take any other safe alternative as a pain killer after the extraction?
Hi, thanks for the kind words. Your best course of action is to check with your dad's physician since they know your dad's medical history. Patients of mine who can't take ibuprofen usually take acetaminophen instead.
Just had an extraction, It's been an hour since I left the dentist's office but the bleeding hasn't stopped, I currently have a green tea bag placed on the extraction. I read that coughing can dislodge blood clot, I tried to suppress it but even then the cough came out with the minimal amount of force, Have I dislodged my blood clot? How do I check? The Dentist recommended ice cream but I can eat anything or take pills if my mouth keeps bleeding?
Use some gauze or a slightly wet tea bag and apply pressure to the extraction site for an hour. If the area keeps bleeding after that, call your dentist. Thank you very much for watching.
My doctor sent me home w a sticky note size post care … told me the important instructions while on Valium so I couldn’t understand anything. He also disregarded my discomfort and pain 😣 I wish I could’ve gone to you but I’m in wyo
Great video! I just had 2 wisdom teeth extracted 3 days ago. I've only had yogurt and water. When will it be safe to start using my water pik again as I plan on eating regular food on day 7? I do have a couple of bridges so I love my water pik.
Im not allowed to take ibuprofen or naproxen because ive had 2 heart attacks . So im on Blood thinners. This is why i get dry sockets . Ive lost quite a few teeth out because of gum desease again because of my amount of medication i have to take
Hi doc. I just had a lower left molar removed after an infection. I took antibiotics and im worried that with the tooth out if the infection will go to the other teeth. Also I am starving and having some soft oat meal. I hope it doesnt bother me later. Thanks for the informative video.
Your dentist would have told you if other teeth were infected at the time you had the bad tooth removed. Once the tooth is out, the infection will go since the tooth was the source of the infection. It would spread to other teeth. Thank you very much for watching!
The sutures at the extraction site are like SHARP NEEDLES poking my tongue. This is not tolerable! I have been holding a small piece of bubble wrap between the extraction site (bone graft included) and my tongue for the past 3 days. I tried dental wax also. Frankly I cannot believe that dental professionals send you home with such sharp objects in your mouth! I guess you make a knot and cut the suture close the the knot, this results in tiny sharp daggers that are very irritating to the tongue. That suture material is like fishing line!!!! It is very sharp!!!! Either make some device to wear between site and tongue, or use a different suture thread that is soft!!!!! I am concerned that the wax is suffocating the extraction site, but I cannot deal with the pain underneath my tongue! The bubble wrap didn't work as well as the wax, it kept moving. Please share any ideas you might have. My suggestion would be to invent a soft suture material that doesn't poke people's tongues.
Sorry to hear about your situation. Call your dentist and let them know what is going on so they can fix the situation for you. If you have a bone graft in the extraction socket, don't put pressure on it. You can try placing a piece of dental gauze over the area until you get to your dentist. Just hold it there gently, don't press down on it. There are many different types of suture material. Resorbable (dissolvable) sutures may be stiff at first but get softer as time goes on. I like to use PTFE (teflon) sutures since they are very soft and handle well. There are nylon sutures which are similar to fishing line.
So i had 2 of my teeth extracted today and I’m currently trying to stop the bleeding by applying pressure onto the gauze over it like im supposed to. If the bleeding stops but the blood clot doesn’t form, what do I do? And i’m a bit scared to take the gauze off because i dont want to risk getting an infection or dry socket. If the bleeding stops do i take the gauze off or do i wait until a blood socket appears? And if it takes a day for it to appear should i take off the gauze right now?
Hi, the bleeding stops because a blood clot forms. I usually tell my patients to bite down on the gauze for 30 minutes once they leave my office, then remove the gauze.
Hi Doctor thank you for sharing this amazing video , I had my tooth extraction surgery done today, wherein my 2 molars where removed one of them was the wisdom molar. Until now 8 hours passed I applied the cold compress for back to back 3 hours and feeling better thankfully there is no bleeding. However I would like to ask can I eat lentils and rice within 1st 3 days or to avoid rice ?
hello doc! im getting all 4 of my pre-molars extracted for braces…… i was wondering if swallowing is okay since im scared to get a dry socket and what kind of foods i can have post 24 hours of the surgery.
Good luck with the extractions. Yes you can swallow and drink normally (no straws though) afterwards. Eat softer foods for a few days (pasta, scrambled eggs, soup, etc) and avoid things like popcorn and nuts. Thank you very much for watching.
Thank you Dr, your video is very informative and well presented. I had 2 wisdom removed today and 2 molars filled with glass ionomer. I was very worried but your video calmed me, as it clearly explained what to expect and do Thanks
Just had a 2 tooth pulled a hour ago and I kinda messed up in rising my mouth I hope I don’t get no dry socket but this video was helpful ima start getting more tea bags since I ran out of gauzes
I got a tooth pulled where I spat the blood clot out , the funny thing is I didn't even notice I spat it out and it was minor pain afterwards , only about 3-4 days after I could literally feel something hard when I stuck my tongue down in the hole , it was very weird and painfull
My wisdom tooth removal happened on Dec 19. I go 1/3 to get my stitches removed. The dentist took my upper teeth that he wasn't supposed to. And now my stitches on my lower left side have ripped. I'm so unhappy about it all. It hurts? But in a very light strange way.
Hi, Doc. I recently have two premolar extractions last Sunday and today is Tuesday. I've been rinsing my mouth gently with warm salt water. I was wondering how could I possibly brush my teeth without disturbing the extraction site? I've been trying to figure out how do I brush my teeth with toothpaste without getting the foam unto the extraction site and I'm very confused how do I do it. After brushing, do I rinse it with water as well? But wouldn't that disturb the clot? Please help 😢
Hi, just brush the teeth around the extraction site, don't brush the site directly. Some foam will get into the site but you should be ok. You can rinse out gently with water. I describe a gentle way to rinse in this video, th-cam.com/video/HBJvxuIUSR0/w-d-xo.html
Gud afternoon. I found your videos interesting... do i need to remove the gelfoam that the dentist put in my extracted tooth? Or will it dissolve on its own? Any advice? Thank you.
It may be unrelated to the extraction , or it may be due to the pain and discomfort following the extraction. It should go away fairly soon if it's related to the extraction. If it persists, talk to your dentist and see your physician.
I'm so confused , the dentist said I should use a straw and eat eat foods and I'm scared to eat anything and it's only 2hours after getting my canine extracted while typing this
I had 4 wisdom pulled and I ate at green mill and had a cup of wine and when I came home I wreaked a cup of blood, so I went the the emergency room. Will I heal right it’s really swollen!
I've done everything wrong because I am only watching this now, I rinsed with salt water because I was feeling very sore and I rinsed heavily. I also drunk with a straw now I am stressed because I don't know if I dislodged the blood clot.
Hey Doc, am i going to be okay?? i'm constantly spitting for the first three hours after my extraction and as I ate a soft bread some got stuck on the extraction site so so i rinse it carefully with warm salt water and thankfully i got the food particle out but i've just read that no rinsing and spitting should be done for the first 24 hours! HELP!!!!!!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental thanks Doc, but i noticed that the socket from the extraction site had closed and saw that there's white on it i dont know if it is a food particle or just the gums healing, is this good or bad? i'm thinking that the blood clot got affected because i rinse yesterday
Hey doc. I ended up leaving my gauze in for almost 14 hours. They bled a good bit after. They came out just fine with not much blood on them and I haven’t replaced em unless it starts again. Is it fine I left em in so long? Got both top wisdom removed. Stayed awake and I’m not taking pain meds. Mom didn’t raise no b**** lol
I’m having my upper teeth extracted and will be given an immediate denture. I am nervous about the upcoming appointment. Heard pineapple juice will help with swelling. Would you recommend pineapple juice?
No I wouldn't recommend pineapple juice. For swelling after having teeth extracted I usually recommend ibuprofen and an ice pack. Thank you very much for watching.
I have had pain in the bottom left for years whenever I chewed anything on that side. I decided to have the second molar extracted as it had a large filling and seemed the most likely culprit (it felt sore when I tested it by chewing with a blue dental stick), but in the days since the extraction both the teeth either side of it feel very sore when I press my top teeth down on them or chew, even though I am chewing on the other side of my mouth. I am worried I may have had the wrong tooth pulled. If it is just trauma caused by the extraction, how long should it take to settle down so I know if more needs to be done?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental The teeth are still the same at the moment, but I'll give them more time as my jaw and other bits are still a bit tender, so maybe there is still some healing to be done. Thanks again!
Thank you for this information. It's a shame that our government hasn't provided some financial help for us elders who worked our whole life and at the end, didn't at least get enough to be able to eat on one side. Healthy plant based eating requires significant chewing . I apologize for my disappointment.
Hi I just got 2 bottom ones and a top one I'm pretty sure they are molars. But anyway I took the gaze out about 30 minutes after and the 2 teeth blood clots that are next to each other look gross! Is that normal? I'm not sure if I took the gaze out too soon or they look like that because they right next to each other. Either way I'm kind of concerned.
Most likely it's normal for 30 minutes after an extraction. I tell my patients to remove the gauze after about 30 minutes. Thank you very much for watching.
hey doc just had my back molar taken out and I dont really know what to eat as I dont want the clot falling out or getting dislodged. Also i dont know what to do for cleansing.
For the first couple of days, eat soft foods like scrambled eggs. Don't rinse until a day or two after the extraction, then gently rinse out after every time you eat. Thank you very much for watching.
hi sir r u practisng dentist?if yes then what is instant solution to a patient who comes in clinic with excrutiating pain swelling due to cavity?how is it fixed instantly ?is there any quick fix in the first place for this in modern dentistry so that the patient who comes with pain and tears goes home laughing and happy?
Hi, yes I am a practicing dentist. There is no instant solution for a patient who has pain and swelling. Treatment is usually either a root canal or extraction, and antibiotics. Exact treatment would depend on the situation. Thank you very much for watching.
Hello Doctor, I got two of my bottoms wisdom teeths removed at once in 27.04.2023. After 3-4 hours after the extraction of the teeth, I spat out a blood clot. I called my dentist and they said "It's all good, it may happen, new clot gonna rise" But after that it's, 29.04.2023 and Im still bleeding from my mouth and also one of the surgical wounds looks much worse than the other one. Im bleeding only from this worse side, that's why Iam curious what's happening. Bot wounds were made at the same time and one of them is much worse
I tell people to avoid things like popcorn and nuts for a few weeks after an extraction. I go into more detail in this video,th-cam.com/video/9EAOuBT3vbs/w-d-xo.html
hi my back tooth is broken and I am only 12 and i saw videos of how broken back tooth get removed and i am crying for real while watching that video so I need an answer if does it hurt and what do i eat? can i still brush my teeth?
Your tooth will numbed before it gets removed. Afterwards eat soft foods for a few days. Avoid brushing that area for a couple of days too. Thank you very much for watching.
I had my extraction last Wednesday even tho I told them there's a little bubble of infection near it (where sinuses drain. Now I had my tooth 15 extracted he did bone graft cleared out the jnfection underneath the tooth he pulled now im back with a pulled tooth and infection. I'm taking antibiotics day 5 of 7. Not looking great
Hello Doc, Just had my lower left wisdom tooth extract 5 hours ago and still bleeding, I also take aspirin 100 mg for my heart, should I put back a gaze to stop the bleeding or just wait, I am not spiting but I have so much saliva mix with blood that I let it come out but it already have a bad taste was the tooth was removed.
Hi, yes your teeth will shift over time. How quickly it happens varies from person to person. Other tooth replacement options are a fixed bridge or a removable bridge. Some of my patients get a removable bridge to keep their teeth from shifting until they are ready to get a dental implant. Talk to your dentist about your options. Thanks very much for watching.
Hello, Doctor. I had my molar tooth extraction yesterday. 03-31-2023. I am only eating ice cream and water. I still see red blood clot but I also it’s kind of going away is this good sign? Now, I still feel numb on right side where tooth was extracted. Is this normal? It’s hard to open my mouth to eat but not much pain only hurt when I talk and eat and at my extraction side hole it’s like someone poking. Please, let me know if that’s All okhey for first few days. Thank you so much.
Hi, let your dentist know what is going on. Having some lingering numbness the day after an extraction can happen but let your dentist know so that they can monitor your situation.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental one more question, for this issue should I call my regular dentist or oral surgeon? Because the one I had tooth extracted oral surgery did it. And my right side of tooth extraction still numb I feel pain whenever I opened my mouth and was my face . I am really worried. Thank you.
My papers said I could rinse with warm salt water. I’ve been doing that and spitting. Is that ok? I still have blood tinged saliva when will that stop?
When did you have the tooth removed? After a day or two you can rinse out safely. A tiny bit of blood is normal for the first couple of days after an extraction. If it persists, call your dentist and have them take a look at it. Thank you very much for watching!
Hey doc I just had my last tooth of my bottom mouth removed today around 12:00 and it’s a whole open space now and it is still bleeding but I’m getting hungry since I didn’t have anything before the procedure can I have soft food?
Yes you should be able to eat soft foods after the extraction, just avoid the extraction site. This video I made might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/9EAOuBT3vbs/w-d-xo.html
Hi, it can be done. Thank you for the video idea. Basically, you can brush your teeth in the areas not near the extraction site, for instance, if you had a lower left molar pulled, brush your upper teeth and the teeth on the lower right and in the front. Then take a mouth full of water and lean your head side to side, and up and down, then with your head over the sink, open your mouth and let the water run out, don't spit, don't use your cheek muscles. Do that a couple of times to gently rinse out your mouth. I hope that makes sense. I will make a video in the next few days to demonstrate what I'm describing. Thank you very much for watching!
Hi doctor just got my upper and lower wisdom teeth pulled today. Do I leave the gauze on all day or just for a hour. Also should drink water I don’t want to develop dry socket.
I usually tell people to leave the gauze in for 1 hour then remove it. Yes you can drink water but don't use a straw, just drink out of the glass normally. What did you dentist recommend?
Doc!? I just got my tooth removed and been eating scrambled eggs and now there’s eggs stuck in there?! Should I be concerned or just leave it be. I’m trying not to swish to hard I don’t wanna get a dry socket but idk if it’s good to leave the egg in there 😓😓😓😓😓😭😭😭😭😭 please helppppp
I just had my first tooth extraction today around 8am haven't eaten since so when is a good time to eat? Should I wait til Tomorrow? I still have bleeding just not as much
You should be able to eat later the same day after having a tooth extracted. Just eat softer foods and try not to chew on the side where the tooth was extracted.
I usually tell patients to leave the gauze in for 45 minutes to an hour after leaving the office, then throw it away. Only use more gauze if the area starts bleeding again. Thank you very much for watching.
I had several teeth removed before putting on dentures,I paid extra for the gas mask so I wouldn’t feel so anxious, instead I was cheated out of my money, not even 5 minutes did I have the mask on, it’s like i paid for nothing. It was a nightmare, my pain relief during the extraction was horrible, people heard Me scream down the hall, there are some dentists who don’t numb the area where the shot will go into, everyone has different hands

Hi Doc. I had a lower tooth pulled on June 16th. It broke off and the dentist had to dig out the root. I realize it's normal to have some small fragments work themselves to the surface but there is a sharp piece on the inside of my gums that is poking through that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I have yellowish white jelly like stuff in the socket itself, which I think is that granulating material that helps it heal. But what bothers me the most right now is that piece of tooth or root or whatever it is sticking out and my tongue keeps rubbing against it getting sore. The gums in that area are very sore and red. It basically feels like when a baby is cutting teeth. Lots of drooling and dull pain. I've been taking ibuprofen to minimize the pain. Is it ok to use Orajel as a topical numbing medication on the gums? I also accidentally disturbed the white stuff, will it grow back together to close the hole? I'm concerned about infection and since I've run out of antibiotics I tried calling my dentist to see if he could prescribe some more, but the receptionist won't let me talk to him. She said that she would give him the message that I called but I never heard back and now it's the 4th of July weekend. I've never had an extraction take this long to heal or have stuff poke through the gums and not come out. Anything I can do to help this heal properly?
Try to get in and see your dentist as soon as you can. Best thing for the discomfort is ibuprofen, and rinse out regularly to keep the area clean. Is the sharp piece of bone/tooth wiggly?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental no, it's not wiggly at all and they won't see me without upfront payment. The extraction had to be paid in full too before the procedure was done. It still has not healed and it's been almost a month now. I've been rinsing with salt water and I've been taking Ibuprofen. My request for additional antibiotics fell on deaf ears. I never heard back from them. I don't think I'll return to this "dentist". I'm done with them.
Sorry to hear, though they should see you for a follow up visit if the extraction they did is still bothering you. Can you get a second opinion?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental In Siggy's case would Clove Oil or Benzamidine oral gel help?
Can't say without seeing him. What he's describing could be a piece of tooth, a bone spicule, or the edge of the socket, but it sounds like it's a problem that needs to be addressed.
Very informative video
Thank you.
Thanks for the video
You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching!
EXCELLENT advice !
Thank you ! and thank you very much for watching!
I have too much pain i think i have dry socket i have my wisdom tooth extraction last week but the pain increases everyday
Hey doc! Great informative video! I had my right second molar tooth extracted yesterday and was wondering if I am able to drink ice coffee today? Without a straw?
Yes, you can drink ice coffee without a straw. Wait until tomorrow to use a straw, just to be safe. Thanks very much for watching!
I got my upper right molar pulled Monday, if Friday and still hurts and my right upper eye by my brow hurts too
Im on antibiotics 3xday and ibuprofen as needed a hopefully the pain and pressure will go away
Sorry to hear about your situation. It will get better, it just takes time. If the pain gets worse or if you notice any swelling, call your dentist right away. Thank you very much for watching.
😭 I saw this too late. After I got home I went to pull the gauze out and it was still bleeding. My mouth was full of blood so I rinsed my mouth out - 3 times in a row. Lots of blood. Then I put another gauze in. Bit down 10 minutes. Still bloody. Put new gauze in. Less blood. Did this 3 times. Last gauze was not as much so I took it out and drank a milkshake. 🤦🏽♀️ I’m thinking recipe for dry - I don’t even want to say it!!😭
How are you feeling today?
I just had my tooth removed ...
And I'd like to know how besides a teabag what else can I use as a gauze
Your dentist should have given you some extra gauze to take home with you. Tea bags work well as a substitute, otherwise you can use a small piece of clean cloth. Don't use a tissue or paper towel, bits of it can get stuck to the extraction site. Give your dentist a call, they can give you more gauze. Thank you very much for watching.
awesome video info
Glad you liked it! Thank you very much for watching!
Hi Doc, You are awesome for giving all this valuable information. I really appreciate that.🙂
My father, age 63, has been taking Aspirin 75mg daily as an antiplatelet for the past 2 years since he had a stroke. Our neurologist has advised strictly not to stop Aspirin 75mg before or after the extraction and to continue taking it.
I found some literature online and on "medicine interaction checkers" that Ibuprofen should not be taken with when Aspirin is active in the body. So can he take any other safe alternative as a pain killer after the extraction?
Hi, thanks for the kind words. Your best course of action is to check with your dad's physician since they know your dad's medical history. Patients of mine who can't take ibuprofen usually take acetaminophen instead.
Just had an extraction, It's been an hour since I left the dentist's office but the bleeding hasn't stopped, I currently have a green tea bag placed on the extraction. I read that coughing can dislodge blood clot, I tried to suppress it but even then the cough came out with the minimal amount of force, Have I dislodged my blood clot? How do I check? The Dentist recommended ice cream but I can eat anything or take pills if my mouth keeps bleeding?
Use some gauze or a slightly wet tea bag and apply pressure to the extraction site for an hour. If the area keeps bleeding after that, call your dentist. Thank you very much for watching.
What about liver clots? Are they a big deal? Can you leave them? Can you remove them your self?
I had my left molar in the back removed 10 days ago. Am I able to chew food on that side and not worry about a dry socket anymore?
After 10 days you won't have to worry about dry socket anymore. Just rinse out after eating to avoid getting food stuck in the extraction site.
Thank you so much!! 😊
How doctor.. staying on the same topic.. after how many days are you free off dry socket?
@@jlovesmith3792 Hi, after about 5 to 7 days you should be ok. There is still a chance of getting an infection though.
They told me to rinse with salt water. Never did they said wait 24 hours so am I doomed now?
Just be careful for the next day or so and keep your fingers crossed. Thank you very much for watching.
My doctor sent me home w a sticky note size post care … told me the important instructions while on Valium so I couldn’t understand anything. He also disregarded my discomfort and pain 😣 I wish I could’ve gone to you but I’m in wyo
Thank you very much for watching.
I left dentist two hours ago and I’m still bleeding. Hope the next gauze I take out of my mouth is not soaked in blood
Give your dentist a call and let them know what is going on.
Great video! I just had 2 wisdom teeth extracted 3 days ago. I've only had yogurt and water. When will it be safe to start using my water pik again as I plan on eating regular food on day 7? I do have a couple of bridges so I love my water pik.
You should be ok to use the water pik. Just don't use on the extraction sites. Thank you very much for watching!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Wonderful!!! Thank you so much❤
Im not allowed to take ibuprofen or naproxen because ive had 2 heart attacks . So im on Blood thinners. This is why i get dry sockets . Ive lost quite a few teeth out because of gum desease again because of my amount of medication i have to take
Sorry to hear about your situation. Are you able to take tylenol for the pain?

When did you have the tooth removed and which tooth was it?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental my bottom right wisdom tooth 2 weeks and 2 days ago my jaw kinda itches and is slightly sore
Actually it was 2 weeks 3 days ago
I'm really nervous
@@VeryNiceSmileDental on a side note my neck and ear itches on that side is that normal?
How soon do your gums go back to normal after having all your teeth removed? I want to get an impression for a denture ASAP. Thank you.
Hi, the more time you give the gums the heal, the better fit you'll get. The minimum time I like to wait is 2 weeks.
Hi doc. I just had a lower left molar removed after an infection. I took antibiotics and im worried that with the tooth out if the infection will go to the other teeth. Also I am starving and having some soft oat meal. I hope it doesnt bother me later. Thanks for the informative video.
Your dentist would have told you if other teeth were infected at the time you had the bad tooth removed. Once the tooth is out, the infection will go since the tooth was the source of the infection. It would spread to other teeth. Thank you very much for watching!
The sutures at the extraction site are like SHARP NEEDLES poking my tongue. This is not tolerable! I have been holding a small piece of bubble wrap between the extraction site (bone graft included) and my tongue for the past 3 days. I tried dental wax also. Frankly I cannot believe that dental professionals send you home with such sharp objects in your mouth! I guess you make a knot and cut the suture close the the knot, this results in tiny sharp daggers that are very irritating to the tongue. That suture material is like fishing line!!!! It is very sharp!!!! Either make some device to wear between site and tongue, or use a different suture thread that is soft!!!!! I am concerned that the wax is suffocating the extraction site, but I cannot deal with the pain underneath my tongue! The bubble wrap didn't work as well as the wax, it kept moving. Please share any ideas you might have. My suggestion would be to invent a soft suture material that doesn't poke people's tongues.
Sorry to hear about your situation. Call your dentist and let them know what is going on so they can fix the situation for you. If you have a bone graft in the extraction socket, don't put pressure on it. You can try placing a piece of dental gauze over the area until you get to your dentist. Just hold it there gently, don't press down on it. There are many different types of suture material. Resorbable (dissolvable) sutures may be stiff at first but get softer as time goes on. I like to use PTFE (teflon) sutures since they are very soft and handle well. There are nylon sutures which are similar to fishing line.
So i had 2 of my teeth extracted today and I’m currently trying to stop the bleeding by applying pressure onto the gauze over it like im supposed to. If the bleeding stops but the blood clot doesn’t form, what do I do? And i’m a bit scared to take the gauze off because i dont want to risk getting an infection or dry socket. If the bleeding stops do i take the gauze off or do i wait until a blood socket appears? And if it takes a day for it to appear should i take off the gauze right now?
Hi, the bleeding stops because a blood clot forms. I usually tell my patients to bite down on the gauze for 30 minutes once they leave my office, then remove the gauze.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental So once it stops bleeding i can just leave it? Will the blood clot fully form the next day then
@@VeryNiceSmileDental If i have see a small white piece of something in my socket, do i take it out or not
@@VeryNiceSmileDental i dont think my blood clot has formed yet but at the same time i dont know if it’s safe to remove it
Because it hasnt been 24 hours since i got my teeth extracted, but I’m guessing i can’t touch my socket until it’s able to rinse?
Hi Doctor thank you for sharing this amazing video , I had my tooth extraction surgery done today, wherein my 2 molars where removed one of them was the wisdom molar. Until now 8 hours passed I applied the cold compress for back to back 3 hours and feeling better thankfully there is no bleeding. However I would like to ask can I eat lentils and rice within 1st 3 days or to avoid rice ?
Hi, were they upper or lower molars?
They were upper molars one extreme left and second one next to it.
You should be okay eating lentils and rice. Thank you very much for watching.
Thank you doctor for taking out your valuable time and responding to me here.
hello doc! im getting all 4 of my pre-molars extracted for braces…… i was wondering if swallowing is okay since im scared to get a dry socket and what kind of foods i can have post 24 hours of the surgery.
Good luck with the extractions. Yes you can swallow and drink normally (no straws though) afterwards. Eat softer foods for a few days (pasta, scrambled eggs, soup, etc) and avoid things like popcorn and nuts. Thank you very much for watching.
I accidentally sallowed the gauze while I was sleeping
Give your dentist a call. Always remove everything from your mouth before you go to sleep.
NIGHTMARE!
Thank you Dr, your video is very informative and well presented.
I had 2 wisdom removed today and 2 molars filled with glass ionomer.
I was very worried but your video calmed me, as it clearly explained what to expect and do
Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for watching!
Just had a 2 tooth pulled a hour ago and I kinda messed up in rising my mouth I hope I don’t get no dry socket but this video was helpful ima start getting more tea bags since I ran out of gauzes
Only use the tea bags/extra gauze if the socket is bleeding. If it's not bleeding, just leave it alone. Thank you very much for watching.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental So basically if the blood clot didn’t form yet but then socket isn’t bleeding, i dont need to put gauze over it?
Im a bit scared cause i dont want my socket to get infected
What about alcohol ? Would it be okay to have a drink?
You should be fine having a drink. Just don't use a straw. Thank you for watching.
I got a tooth pulled where I spat the blood clot out , the funny thing is I didn't even notice I spat it out and it was minor pain afterwards , only about 3-4 days after I could literally feel something hard when I stuck my tongue down in the hole , it was very weird and painfull
Have your dentist take a look at to make sure everything is healing properly.
My wisdom tooth removal happened on Dec 19. I go 1/3 to get my stitches removed. The dentist took my upper teeth that he wasn't supposed to. And now my stitches on my lower left side have ripped. I'm so unhappy about it all. It hurts? But in a very light strange way.
Sorry to hear about your situation. Let me know how your suture removal visit goes.
Hi, Doc. I recently have two premolar extractions last Sunday and today is Tuesday. I've been rinsing my mouth gently with warm salt water. I was wondering how could I possibly brush my teeth without disturbing the extraction site? I've been trying to figure out how do I brush my teeth with toothpaste without getting the foam unto the extraction site and I'm very confused how do I do it. After brushing, do I rinse it with water as well? But wouldn't that disturb the clot? Please help 😢
Hi, just brush the teeth around the extraction site, don't brush the site directly. Some foam will get into the site but you should be ok. You can rinse out gently with water. I describe a gentle way to rinse in this video, th-cam.com/video/HBJvxuIUSR0/w-d-xo.html
Gud afternoon. I found your videos interesting... do i need to remove the gelfoam that the dentist put in my extracted tooth? Or will it dissolve on its own? Any advice? Thank you.
Hi, gelfoam will dissolve on it's own. Ask your dentist to be sure.
For how long do you restrain from smoking or drinking through straws ????
I usually recommend no smoking or using straws for the first 24 to 48 hours. Thank you very much for watching.
I had my tooth removed 2 days ago and I'm having a headache. Is this normal?
It may be unrelated to the extraction , or it may be due to the pain and discomfort following the extraction. It should go away fairly soon if it's related to the extraction. If it persists, talk to your dentist and see your physician.
Got my tooth extracted 72 hrs ago. Can I do a high intensity run today?
After 3 days you should be ok. Check with your dentist to be safe.
I'm so confused , the dentist said I should use a straw and eat eat foods and I'm scared to eat anything and it's only 2hours after getting my canine extracted while typing this
Did the dentist give a written copy of the instructions?
I had 4 wisdom pulled and I ate at green mill and had a cup of wine and when I came home I wreaked a cup of blood, so I went the the emergency room. Will I heal right it’s really swollen!
It was swollen on my right bottom back tooth
See your dentist right away! Thank you very much for watching.
I've done everything wrong because I am only watching this now, I rinsed with salt water because I was feeling very sore and I rinsed heavily. I also drunk with a straw now I am stressed because I don't know if I dislodged the blood clot.
Keep your fingers crossed and follow the post op instructions from here on out. Hopefully you'll be ok. Thank you for watching.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental thanks for the feedback, The Lord Jesus is my strength ill update you. Thanks for making content also and teaching us
Hey Doc, am i going to be okay?? i'm constantly spitting for the first three hours after my extraction and as I ate a soft bread some got stuck on the extraction site so so i rinse it carefully with warm salt water and thankfully i got the food particle out but i've just read that no rinsing and spitting should be done for the first 24 hours! HELP!!!!!!
Don't rinse or spit for another 24 hours just to be safe. See how you feel over the next few days. Thank you very much for watching.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental thanks Doc, but i noticed that the socket from the extraction site had closed and saw that there's white on it i dont know if it is a food particle or just the gums healing,
is this good or bad? i'm thinking that the blood clot got affected because i rinse yesterday
Have your dentist take a look at it just to be safe.
Hey doc. I ended up leaving my gauze in for almost 14 hours. They bled a good bit after. They came out just fine with not much blood on them and I haven’t replaced em unless it starts again. Is it fine I left em in so long? Got both top wisdom removed. Stayed awake and I’m not taking pain meds. Mom didn’t raise no b**** lol
I’m having my upper teeth extracted and will be given an immediate denture. I am nervous about the upcoming appointment. Heard pineapple juice will help with swelling. Would you recommend pineapple juice?
No I wouldn't recommend pineapple juice. For swelling after having teeth extracted I usually recommend ibuprofen and an ice pack. Thank you very much for watching.
ivee been smoking since i walked out them doors had blood on my ciggy butt i never got the dryyyyy
Thanks for watching.
I have had pain in the bottom left for years whenever I chewed anything on that side. I decided to have the second molar extracted as it had a large filling and seemed the most likely culprit (it felt sore when I tested it by chewing with a blue dental stick), but in the days since the extraction both the teeth either side of it feel very sore when I press my top teeth down on them or chew, even though I am chewing on the other side of my mouth. I am worried I may have had the wrong tooth pulled.
If it is just trauma caused by the extraction, how long should it take to settle down so I know if more needs to be done?
How long has it been since the extraction? Has the pain been decreasing in severity since the extraction?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Hi there, thank you for replying! I had the tooth pulled out five days ago. The pain hasn't changed so far.
@@TibetanFox68 As long as it keeps getting better, that's a good sign. If it continues or starts to get worse, see your dentist right away.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental The teeth are still the same at the moment, but I'll give them more time as my jaw and other bits are still a bit tender, so maybe there is still some healing to be done. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this information. It's a shame that our government hasn't provided some financial help for us elders who worked our whole life and at the end, didn't at least get enough to be able to eat on one side. Healthy plant based eating requires significant chewing . I apologize for my disappointment.
Thank you very much for watching.
Hi I just got 2 bottom ones and a top one I'm pretty sure they are molars. But anyway I took the gaze out about 30 minutes after and the 2 teeth blood clots that are next to each other look gross! Is that normal? I'm not sure if I took the gaze out too soon or they look like that because they right next to each other. Either way I'm kind of concerned.
Most likely it's normal for 30 minutes after an extraction. I tell my patients to remove the gauze after about 30 minutes. Thank you very much for watching.
hey doc just had my back molar taken out and I dont really know what to eat as I dont want the clot falling out or getting dislodged. Also i dont know what to do for cleansing.
For the first couple of days, eat soft foods like scrambled eggs. Don't rinse until a day or two after the extraction, then gently rinse out after every time you eat. Thank you very much for watching.
hi sir r u practisng dentist?if yes then what is instant solution to a patient who comes in clinic with excrutiating pain swelling due to cavity?how is it fixed instantly ?is there any quick fix in the first place for this in modern dentistry so that the patient who comes with pain and tears goes home laughing and happy?
Hi, yes I am a practicing dentist. There is no instant solution for a patient who has pain and swelling. Treatment is usually either a root canal or extraction, and antibiotics. Exact treatment would depend on the situation. Thank you very much for watching.
Hello Doctor, I got two of my bottoms wisdom teeths removed at once in 27.04.2023. After 3-4 hours after the extraction of the teeth, I spat out a blood clot. I called my dentist and they said "It's all good, it may happen, new clot gonna rise" But after that it's, 29.04.2023 and Im still bleeding from my mouth and also one of the surgical wounds looks much worse than the other one. Im bleeding only from this worse side, that's why Iam curious what's happening. Bot wounds were made at the same time and one of them is much worse
Give your dentist a call. After 2 days you shouldn't be bleeding anymore.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental The problem is all dental offices are closed until 02.05 due to holidays in my country. That's why I dont know what to do

Lol. Better to not try that at home.
Absolutely 👌👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I had an extraction 2 days ago I think I oatmeal in the extraction site
Since it's been 2 days since you had the tooth pulled, you can rinse out gently with some warm water. Thank you very much for watching!
Only got one extracted and it happened to be a baby tooth lol is it as bad as a wisdom or is the healing process shorter?
Baby teeth generally heal quicker.

Hi, biting down on some gauze for an hour won't hurt anything. Let your dentist know what is going on.
I just got one of my bottom molar teeth pulled. Will my teeth shift if i dont get an implant? What can i do if i cant afford an implant?
Hi, yes your teeth will shift over time. How quickly it happens varies from person to person. Other tooth replacement options are a fixed bridge or a removable bridge. Some of my patients get a removable bridge to keep their teeth from shifting until they are ready to get a dental implant. Talk to your dentist about your options. Thanks very much for watching.
Hello, Doctor. I had my molar tooth extraction yesterday. 03-31-2023. I am only eating ice cream and water. I still see red blood clot but I also it’s kind of going away is this good sign?

Hi, let your dentist know what is going on. Having some lingering numbness the day after an extraction can happen but let your dentist know so that they can monitor your situation.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental okhey. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental one more question, for this issue should I call my regular dentist or oral surgeon? Because the one I had tooth extracted oral surgery did it. And my right side of tooth extraction still numb I feel pain whenever I opened my mouth and was my face . I am really worried. Thank you.
Call the one who did the extraction since they will be doing the follow up care for it. Let me know how it goes.
My papers said I could rinse with warm salt water. I’ve been doing that and spitting. Is that ok? I still have blood tinged saliva when will that stop?
When did you have the tooth removed? After a day or two you can rinse out safely. A tiny bit of blood is normal for the first couple of days after an extraction. If it persists, call your dentist and have them take a look at it. Thank you very much for watching!
Hey Doc, great video, how long after a tooth extraction can I start using mouthwash??
I usually tell my patients to not rinse out for 24 hours after an extraction. You should be able to use a mouthwash at that point in time.
Hilarious! I just got home and lost the instructions and gauze!
I hope the video was helpful. Thank you very much for watching!
Is it necessary to get gel foam after you get a tooth extraction
It's not necessary though some dentists believe gelfoam or benecel can help prevent a dry socket. Thank you very much for watching.
Hey doc I just had my last tooth of my bottom mouth removed today around 12:00 and it’s a whole open space now and it is still bleeding but I’m getting hungry since I didn’t have anything before the procedure can I have soft food?
Yes you should be able to eat soft foods after the extraction, just avoid the extraction site. This video I made might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/9EAOuBT3vbs/w-d-xo.html
how do we brush our teeth if we can spit or rinse doc?
Hi, it can be done. Thank you for the video idea. Basically, you can brush your teeth in the areas not near the extraction site, for instance, if you had a lower left molar pulled, brush your upper teeth and the teeth on the lower right and in the front. Then take a mouth full of water and lean your head side to side, and up and down, then with your head over the sink, open your mouth and let the water run out, don't spit, don't use your cheek muscles. Do that a couple of times to gently rinse out your mouth. I hope that makes sense. I will make a video in the next few days to demonstrate what I'm describing. Thank you very much for watching!
hi doc, is it ok to have effervescent tablets a few hours after my tooth extraction?
You should be ok. Just drink them normally. Don't use a straw.
Hi doctor just got my upper and lower wisdom teeth pulled today. Do I leave the gauze on all day or just for a hour. Also should drink water I don’t want to develop dry socket.
I usually tell people to leave the gauze in for 1 hour then remove it. Yes you can drink water but don't use a straw, just drink out of the glass normally. What did you dentist recommend?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental dentist didn’t say. But just use gauze. He did say no straw and no solid foods.
Take the gauze out after an hour. Don't use anymore unless it starts bleeding again. Thank you very much for watching!
Doc!? I just got my tooth removed and been eating scrambled eggs and now there’s eggs stuck in there?! Should I be concerned or just leave it be. I’m trying not to swish to hard I don’t wanna get a dry socket but idk if it’s good to leave the egg in there 😓😓😓😓😓😭😭😭😭😭 please helppppp
Wait 24 hours after the extraction before you rinse out. Fingers crossed that you will be fine. Thank you very much for watching.
How soon after extraction can you drink coffee?
I usually recommend to only drink water until the anesthetic wears off. You can then drink coffee, but not too hot.
when am i able to drink from a cup with a straw? i’m a little worried because i don’t want to dislodge the clot and form a dry socket.
After a couple of days you can start to use a straw again.
