<p>I just had my wisdom teeth taken out this morning, and it hurts SO bad. I'm sure a ton of you guys has done this already... any advise to make them stop bleeding (it's getting a little ridiculous, it hasn't stopped for 7 hours). </p>
<p>Everyone says to eat soft foods... how the heck to you manage to eat anything? Help please?</p>
<p>Put ice on em</p>
<p>my best friend had them taken out right after halloween...she ate a lot of jello and applesauce...you know, stuff you don't have to chew.</p>
<p>Ouch. Hope it feels better soon!
I remember my friend had jamba juice after her wisdom teeth were taken out and she puked a LOT.</p>
<p>Right now ice is the only think you can do for the bleeding (make sure to keep changing the gauze too). I couldn't eat anything until the next day because my entire face was numb after surgery. Jello, ice cream, and soup should be enough for the next few days...</p>
<p>When you'll be able to eat normally depends on your body and your surgeon. Me, I was completely fine and just a tad sore after two days (took nothing for the pain)--I've had a couple friends miss an entire week (bad reaction to the anesthesia in one case, the percoset in the other), one friend who was put on Vicodin, and one friend whose mom took pity on him because he was in so much pain and bought him a gameboy advance SP (he's rich) to distract him.</p>
<p>yeah. it was so gross. i went to sleep after the surgery. I woke up and my mouth was full of blood, it took me so long to rinse it out and it kept on bleeding the rest of the day. The bleeding will eventually stop. Mine were like that too. Just keep spitting!
i highly recommend Bailey's Irish Cream Ice Cream milkshakes. If you drink a good mouthful it takes the flavor of blood out of your mouth for a few seconds...I lived on milkshakes after I got mine out. Oh and rent some good movies to watch!</p>
<p>just keep your mouth closed and bite down some gause, but don't rinse your mouth out with water it will continue to bleed and don't eat anything where small particals of salt are visible like Mcdonalds french fries...</p>
<p>Ice cream definitely helped. It froze my mouth, and it took less time for the blood to stop flowing. The most painless edible thing is soup because the teeth don't really have to do anything.</p>
<p>thanks guys. now i know i'm not like, a hemopheliac or something. </p>
<p>they gave me Vicodin as well... I figured if i have it, i might as well take it. Haha won't be doing that again. man it made me nauseus.</p>
<p>one more question. I have to fly to boston tonight because i have to do an info session tomorrow... do you think that would be ok?</p>
<p>drink the blood lol. </p>
<p>ask your doctor if it's okay to fly since it's so soon after the surgery.</p>
<p>you're makin me nervous, i have to get them taken out soon!</p>
<p>I know you've stopped the bleeding by now, but I guess for anyone else that's getting their wisdom teeth taken out, I was told to bite down on a tea bag. Something about a chemical in the tea that helps blood clot...I don't remember the specifics. It worked for me, although it (the tea bag) does taste pretty bitter at first.</p>
<p>All this makes me very glad that I never had them; my only problem with my teeth was the fact that I am missing three on the top, and was once considering having false teeth at age 11.</p>
<p>The tea helps a lot. My oral surgeon gave me some random cocktail of narcotics plus celebrex to keep the swelling down. The painkillers were way worse than the surgery, I vomitted a lot, so I stopped taking them. The pain wasn't bad at all (no ibuprofen for me either because I'm allergic). Anyways, be sure to rinse out the openings with salt water and the mouth rinse they give you. I forgot to do it ONCE, and one of them got a nasty infection. I had to go on a bunch of antibiotics. It didn't hurt, but the swelling took a while to go down.</p>
<p>I haven't been to the dentist in over two years and i'm glad :)</p>
<p>Did you guys get put to sleep or did they just give your local anesthetic?</p>
<p>^I was given laughing gas, local anesthetic, and knocked out.</p>
<p>I went a while back (when I was like 12 or 13) and just got local anesthetic. It wasn't as bad as I thought though...well it sorta was...I just hated the sound of it getting ripped</p>
<p>Now, I am scared...I have a dental appointment next month...I wonder if he will talk about my wisdom teeth.</p>
<p>Is it normal to get your wisdom teeth taken out? (I have no idea...)</p>
<p>I'm getting mine out this summer thanks for scaring me</p>
<p>My friend just got hers taken out. She ate a lot of apple sauce and pudding type foods and got put on Vicodin. She said it made her sick, but I think the permanent nerve damage is a little worse than that! Lol I hope that's an isolated case.</p>
