A member asked:
It's been about 1-2 hours since i got four teeth removed and i still taste blood. is it time for panic?

About those 2 hours: If a person loses a piece of skin, think how long it takes for the spot to seal over. Now, imagine a wet place like inside the mouth, where a dentist pulls out 4 teeth, making 4 bloody holes. Think how long it takes for the gums to seal over.

Normal: Follow your Oral Surgeon's written post-treatment instructions carefully. If your reactions differ from those outlined in the instructions. If you are concerned, contact your Surgeon.
