It depends how the teeth grew out... Some people wisdom teeth are stuck deep under the gum

I am 23.




They were completely impacted and had to be sawn in half. They cut the shit out of my gums. It's getting better. Just tired of tasting blood basically.




Lots. Turns out I really like nitrous.



Well to be honest I posted it because I didn't know if it was a lot or a little bit of pain medication. The most I have ever taken before this are Ibuprofin 800's.

Have a meal replacement milkshake(Ensure) or something along those lines if you're not up for eating anything solid.

Two of mine were impacted, both bottom. Top two came out eZ. I was put under as well.

Take the medicine as prescribed, if you still have pain try taking a half. 7.5mgs of codeine isn't that much, but everyone is different! Opiate naive people can get "high" feeling off 10-20mgs easily.

As for the food, mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, maybe Mac n cheese. Whatever you do, don't eat popsicles, drink through a straw, or smoke. Some people smoke and are fine, however creating suction with your mouth can break the scabs that are trying to heal your wounds.

What really helped me was putting a tea bag on each side of my mouth and gently biting down on them like you do the gauze they put in there. The teabags actually speed up the healing process!

Good luck bro

Edit: if you end up experiencing severe pain in the next few days, you may have a dry socket. It is extremely painful and takes longer to heal. Avoid creating suction as I said, this is what causes the dry socket. If pain persists/dry socket happens, call the dentist and he can put clove packing in them. It tastes like ass so don't swallow it or it'll be the only thing you taste for hours, it does completely kill the pain, though!

jesus why do they have to pass you out like that
here i would get some placebo painkillers and fucking bear with it

It's not the dentists, it's the teeth themselves. Some are impacted and deep within the gums, and require the gums to be cut open so that the dentist can break the tooth up and remove it that way. Then sew it back up with stitches, some people don't need to go through all that and they are good the next day. I took 6 days off work.

I believe it is because they had to use a scalpel to cut my gums wide open and a saw to cut my tooth in half. It's probably easier for the doctor and easier on the patient. And I can say that when my medications wear off its only a 5/10 (not that I have let them fully wear off yet), so it would be manageable, but uncomfortable as fuck. Honestly the blood was the worst part. I'm without gauze now and it's not bleeding. It took about 10-12 hours to get a good clot. I've eaten soup, jello, pudding and sports drinks. I'm sure it will be more sore in the next two for three days.

Fortunately I don't smoke so a dry socket is largely a non-issue as long as I don't use a straw or create too much negative pressure in my mouth through slurping jello and stuff I should be okay.

Sushi

Rekt

you will be fine !
