(I also had an apiectomy, so I was hurting from 2 places) ... I hope you get well soon ... I have very little to say that is encouraging .... get pain pills ... do not take "no" for an answer .... |
It sounds like dry sockets to me.. I had it on both bottom. They (the dentist) packed my EVERYDAY with gauze that was dipped in "Oil of clove"! It promotes healing and keeps infection away! I had to go everyday for 5 days.:( You really need to go to the dentist. :animal-pa |
I think that you need to get into the dentist so that they can check and make sure that if it is DRY SOCKET then they can pack it and get you on meds for infection. I had my wisdom teeth done this June 21 and by the 25 I was miserable and called to get it checked out. They had to numb my mouth, clean out the hole and put gauze socked in a medication in it. I had to go back every three day's for repacking but by then I was wanting it to be changed because I have a germ phobia. After a month and a half I had a gel put in the hole and they did that 4 times till the hole finally started to heal close. It still is not fully closed yet but the bone is not exposed. I do not heal fast so it did take longer then most to get the hole to start closing. I hope that you have that looked at, and that you have a speedy recovery! |
I went to the doctor You guys scared me into it !!!! I called first thing this morning and they got me right in. The oral surgen doesn't think its dry socket because the motrin 800's are taking the pain away and I'm sleeping thru the night. They also flushed out both hole and suctioned them out (but they didn't freeze them!!!) He said I had lots of food in the holes (((GROSS))) :eek: He also said part of the test for dry socket is seeing if I jump out of my seat when he starts to clean the holes. If the bone was exposed I would have felt immediate pain. But I was ok. Until AFTER! Holly Heck!!! It HURT!!!! Soooooooo, he doesn't think its dry socket, he said it just takes time. But wow. are those some huge holes! I'm terrified to eat anything now. How gross is it having food get in there!!! he gave me a syringe to use to clean them out but still. So I guess, I'm just going to be in pain for awhile :( AND STARVING :( Thanks so much for all your warm wishes!!!!!!!!!!! |

I got that too, from smoking:o The doc told me to gently rinse with warm salt water. |
Ahhh you poor thing, having those teeth out is painful enough with out getting dry sockettes, I was hospitilaized for mine, Iam alergic to everything under the sun, But i did have 1 dry socket on the bottom:( it hurt like hell) they had to pack it with med every couple days, witch felt so much better,I hope you feel better soon, Oh and I to didnt eat for 2 weeks:eek: Just soup so stock up;) hey i lost 5 pds thats the good news;) |
Oh, my dear, I'm so glad that you went. I had to work today and cannot access YT for some dumb reason. This is the first thing I wanted to check. I hope you're feeling better. I wish I was there to cook for you. When my daughter had jaw surgery and was wired shut I was a whiz with the blender. Didn't know you could make a shake out of birthday cake!!!. |

I am so glad that they weren't dry sockets!! Phew... |
Dang I just can't win. Whatever he did today by cleaning them out has made the left lower feel like I have dry socket!!! Holy $hit does it hurt like HE - double toothpicks! Worse pain than before, horrible pain! ARGH!!!! The right one feels fine now - no pain at all. |
I did mine a couple years ago and I got dry sockets on the bottom. From eating a frosty with a spoon. Ugh!! The packing was WORSE than the pain. It was HORRIBLE. I tasted it for weeks. I don't do well with flavors and whatever the clove stuff was it was the most horrible thing I have ever tasted or smelled. The doctor and nurses acted like I was a lunatic because it was making me so sick. I guess not everyone has the same reaction to it, but wow was it horrible. I think I ended up taking them out just so I could sleep... |
This really sux. I was there today and he didn't think I needed it packed....sooooooooooooooo I just think I'll never eat again! AND I just lost 13 pounds, so I guess a couple more wont hurt!!!! I NEVER thought it was going to be like this...wow! I guess they say, the older you are when you get them out, the deeper the root and the worse it is. I should have done this 20 years ago. You should SEE the holes in my mouth! :eek: |
