Wisdom teeth removed
I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out and the anesthesia will wear off in a few hours. Am I allowed to drink water? I know I can't rinse till tomorrow but I need to drink water to take my medication. Also, when can I eat solid food again?
PS: The surgery was overall painless and I was conscious the entire time.

So no brushing teeth, eat only chicken nuggets and lettuce, rinse with warm salt water, and Vicodin is my friend. Got it! I'll miss you delicious solid food
Ouch. I had my wisdom teeth removed about 2 years ago..I couldn't eat much solid foods..all I pretty much at was chicken nuggets and lettuce..
[quote=AaronRawr]Don't even try to brush your teeth yet. I remember something about swishing with warm salt water, not regular water. Regular water will promote more bleeding.[/quote]
Thanks will do. Once I regain the feeling in my mouth.
@portality I got all 4 of them removed.
@Aikrol Is swishing with tooth paste an alternative to brushing your teeth? Am I allowed to brush my teeth?
@AaronRawr Gum tissue? Debris? Ew lol. I guess I should change my gauze soon then.
I got prescription painkillers so I'm good.
How often should I change the gauze?
