Question 2

please tell me how long it takes for to heal from getting your wisdom teeth out?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on what was done and your home care. If they were simple extractions then you will notice a clot in a few days and some closure forming in a week or two. If it was surgical than healing will take longer, especially if bone was removed, but sutures will help with the closure. Warm salt water rinses really help healing. Having an oral surgeon do the work will lessen the trauma in most cases.

Accepted Answer

You : You are not that old! wisdom teeth are sometimes extracted on much older adults.

Recovery time not only varies from patient to patient, but from tooth to tooth. Just because the tooth is partially erupted doesn't mean the roots aren't hooked, or that it won't be a difficult extraction. Many things can happen; teeth sometimes break, resulting in a more invasive procedure.

You will be sore for a few days, you might get some swelling, and you may feel like you have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms are all normal.

Your dentist/oral surgeon will prescribe the proper pain meds and advise you on post operative procedures in regards to minimizing discomfort.

Hope this info helps.
