Question 1

what is the meaning of me having a tooth extraction at the dentist dream?

Accepted Answer

Self Fulfilling: Prophecy.  Perhaps you have been just thinking about scheduling a visit or cleaning and your mind took it to the next level.

Question 2

what is it like to have wisdom teeth pulled out, meaning what does the dentist do?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom teeth: I usually use an elevator and try to cause the least trauma so there is less post-op pain. Sometimes its nes. To section a tooth or use forcepts. It should be painless.  You may feels a lot of pressure and some crackling sounds are normal. We provide headphones to watch tv during the procedure to remove the sound.

Question 3

is it bad to take a shower after having teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

No: You should be ok to take shower just dont bend too much..Keep luke warm water..Should be okay..

Question 4

how can i stop the drooling after getting teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

Swallow: There really is no reason to be drooling after an extraction. It is possible that having the gauze in your mouth to stop the bleeding may be stimulating some extra saliva, but it is just saliva and you should just swallow it. Once the bleeding has stopped you do need the gauze and that should slow down the saliva production.

Question 5

is it ok to wear body jewelry while getting teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

Preferably not.: It depends on the jewelry, but tongue rings could get caught in a tongue retractor, nose rings could do the same in a nasal mask (for oxygen or nitrous). It is just safer to not have anything that could come out,  loosen, or snag on instrumentation.  Of course, check with your surgeon for the final word.

Question 6

can i eat hot cheetos if i just got my teeth pulled today?

Accepted Answer

No: You should not even think about it. Fluids and your pain medication and ice top the list of things to do. Perhaps some apple sauce, gatorade, frozen gatorade ice cubes, sherbet, blended protein drink without bits and pieces of anything, soup broth, ensure, NO STRAWS or SPITTING. Follow the instructions given by the Surgeon. Good Luck.

Question 7

is it ok to have 6 teeth pulled at once or to much bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Treatment plan: Your dentist or oral surgeon will ascertain whether the extractions of six teeth make sense based upon medical history and need. Make sure to have a treatment plan prior to the extractions so you are not left in a compromising situation.

Question 8

how do i prevent from ever getting my teeth pulled again?

Accepted Answer

Three ways: First, eat healthy foods and avoid foods that promote tooth decay. Second, brush and floss your teeth properly every day. Third, see your dentist for routine dental care (every 6 months) and follow recommended advice and treatment.

Question 9

is it possible for me to drink soda when i get my teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

No using straw: You can but do not use a straw because it can create suction and cause the clot to be lost.  I would recommend drinking something healthier such as milk, orange juice, tomato juice, etc.

Question 10

need docs help! i am scared about getting my teeth pulled, help?

Accepted Answer

No need to worry: The extraction of wisdom teeth is a very straight  forward procedure that can be done safely under intravenous sedation.  With modern techniques and medications, your post operative course should be better than expected.
