I will get my wisdom teeth taken out. i have five of them. any suggestions for a speedy recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post-extraction: Listen to the dr's instructions! no smoking post-op is paramount. Typically, no rinsing for 24 hours is advised. A soft diet, avoiding very hot foods/liquids is also helpful. And rest. Lay off the treadmill for a little while.
