nancyfancypants · 08-14-2008, 05:36 PM

I was hoping I'd see an update. Yikes! I hope they gave you more good pain meds to help you sleep tonight. You poor thing; hope you're feeling better soon!

PANAMA69 · 08-14-2008, 05:41 PM

Oh my I hope you get well soon

, sorry for your pain

I'm surprised he didn't send you to an oral surgeon and put you to sleep during the procedure. I remember waking up and the doc said, hey you just had a 9lb. baby boy. I was so groggie, I was thinking, I don't remember being pregnant??? Hope you feel better soon. I have heard dry sockets are horrible. Just keep popping the pain pills and maybe that will help.

It may be dry socket. You should not be feeling this pain now. Usually dry socket is when the blood plug comes out of the extraction hole. If it comes out too soon then air will get in down to the bone and you will feel a dull or throbbing pain. Call your dentist tomorrow morning .My daughter just had hers taken out and she had little swelling on the second day.By the third day her pain was gone. She was just uncomfortable with the stitches.They gave her vicodin

The packing does seem to be helping. My right cheek is really starting to swell though and it's making talking extremely difficult. I did go to an oral surgeon to have them taken out and he used nitrous oxide and an iv to put me to sleep. As far as pain meds go, he said to just keep taking the ibuprofin (600 mg every 6 hours) but I think I'm going to start taking 2 500mg tabs that I have here at home every 4-6 hours and see if that helps a little more. I am suppossed to go back Monday morning to have them repacked. Everything I've read online says that the packs are normally replaced every 24-48 hours...but mine at supposed to last 4 days? They gave me a number to call after hours if the pain gets bad over the weekend. The packs taste horrible and I'm paranoid that they are going to come out.

hang in there. Turns oiut my daughter had dry socket too. They rinsed her mouth and all this food came out. She obviously didn't stick to the soft diet. They packed her, she has to go back tomorrow (24 hours) and they'll switch it out, then she keeps it in all weekend and then gets it out. He said she would feel better in a few hours and didn't give her any more pills.

I have definetly stuck to a soft diet...I've eaten nothing but jello, pudding, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, ice cream and spaghetti o's. I'm ready for some chicken!

Tell your daughter that I feel her pain. It really makes me wonder why I don't have to go back tomorrow to have them repacked.

MeganS · 08-14-2008, 06:41 PM

Ouch I'm so sorry! I really hope you feel better soon!

Sending big hugs and positive vibes and prayers!

LaPeque · 08-14-2008, 11:18 PM

Dry socket is miserable - I got it on the bottom too - good thing is, the packing takes care of the pain pretty quickly. Definitely stick to the soft diet.

I looked like a chipmunk for a few days - I know you're miserable now, but it will be funny later. Take pictures.

*Hugs*

Hmmm....when I had dry socket with a wisdom tooth and had to be packed, the doc made me come in every day to be re-packed. If it bothers you at all, I'd call today just to make sure you don't need to be checked before the weekend. It's really hard to make contact then.

Hope today is a better day!

The left side is starting to feel a little better but the right side is still aching. The medication tastes like cloves and it numbs whatever it touches so my tongue feels a little weird now. I'm supposed to go back Monday morning to have them repacked.

Oh, goodness, bless your heart! I've had dry sockets and boy, do they hurt. The packing will help. I went back every day for several days. I hope you get relief and feel better soon. Lots of hugs.

Hi
When I had my teeth pulled, I found the fastest way there is to heal is to rinse with a mild solution of salt and warm water.
If you can, give it a try.

juliaw04 · 08-17-2008, 03:05 PM

Well, I've almost survived the weekend without needing to be repacked. As long as I take ibuprofin around the clock, the pain really is minimal now. Yesterday, I was a little more adventerous with my meals as opposed to the jello and mashed potatoes I have been eating all week. I think I may have over did it a little bit though because by the end of last night, my jaw was pretty sore. I'm going to ask when I go in tomorrow, but I think they put stitches in my cheeks on both sides. I do know that my wisdom teeth were causing me to "chew" on my cheeks, so maybe they needed stitches?

I wish I could open my mouth farther to be able to brush my teeth more thoroughly because man does my breath taste/smell terrible!

nancyfancypants · 08-17-2008, 04:47 PM

You might want to buy a baby toothbrush. They're really soft and have tiny heads. Another possibility is to wrap a piece of gauze around your little finger, soak it in some mouthwash, and try to wipe off your teeth with that.

Hang in there!
