A member asked:
Is it okay to be sleeping right after wisdom tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After 3 hours: First 3 hours it is best to bite firm on the cotton and hold ice against the outside of your face next to where the tooth was removed. After 3 hours then eat ice cream and rest if you want.
