I recently had my two lower wisdom teeth removed. It is day 6 of recovery. My left side is in no pain. The right side however is still angry. I am managing pain with Tylenol and ibprophen. I take it every 6 hours because it is very uncomfortable. I plan on visiting my surgeon but in the mean time I am curious if dry socket will heal itself providing I have good oral hygiene and I rinse with salt water. Is this something I just have to work through?
One side of my face has already had the stitches fall out while the other side has yet to lose them, it has also only been 4 and a half days since the surgery. There is no bleeding, is this normal?
I got 4 wisdom teeth out 6 days ago and I'm still experiencing some pain. The rest of my family took about 3 days to recover so I'm a bit paranoid. The pain isn't excruciating but when I wake up and at some points in the day it's enough to make me a bit miserable. It's mostly on one side, there isn't swelling but every now and then when I spit out it's a bit yellowish. I've been doing salt water rinses religiously. Did I still get an infection?
I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed about 4 days ago on December 7th the left side of my mouth seems to be healing fine no pain at all the right side doesnt have pain either but I still feel very tender and it doesnt seem like its progressing as much as the other side. Could this be because maybe they had to dig more? I did swell up a lot more on my right could that be it?
I got a tooth pulled 5 days ago and I have been paranoid to eat any solid foods for fear of getting anything stuck inside the hole were the tooth was and getting an infection or developing dry socket which I read online is the worst thing you can get. I'm really hungry and haven't eaten anything thing solid only soft stuff like jello, pudding and mashed potatoes. Should 5 days be enough time to eat things like lunch meat, meatloaf or even pizza? I'm really tired of eating the same things.

Hello I have my all 4 wisdom teeth removed a week ago and I am still in pain. From last 2 days i.e. On day 6 after wisdom teeth removal, I am having pain in Cheek bone and jaw. I am in comfort zone as far as I am taking ibuprofen. the pain starts exactly after 8 hrs of my first 800 mg ibuprofen. I am just confused, Is that a symptom of infection?
I just removed my wisdom tooth 8 days ago through surgery. Today i notice a deep hole and some yellowish stuff inside. There is no pain unless i bite too hard. There is no pus coming out. And around the stitches have already healed completely. Do i have a dry socket?
