Question for anyone who has had their wisdom teeth cut out

Mine never bled because I was put under and they were surgically removed.

Now, how in the hell they were able to cut into my gums, grab the teeth down there, and pull them out is beyond me and now something I'd want to watch...but I digress.

Don't smoke, suck out of straws, or give or receive blowjobs until they're healed.

I bled for a few days, but my swelling was the big issue. I didn't have dry socket, but my face exploded to Farley status for a solid week and a half

Enjoy the pain meds

Go buy a small box of black tea bags. Dunk a couple in some water to get them wet, then set them on top of your sockets. The tannins will reduce and/or stop the bleeding. You'll need to press them down a bit for full contact, but don't jam them down on the socket or it will suck.

Worked great for me.

You 'gon die baw! Bleed to death.

I was eating solid food the next day. Sitting around drinking soda and playing COD nazi zombies jacked up on pain pills for two weeks. It was awesome.

I was eating red beans and mashed potatoes from popeyes for 3 days before I could start eating solids.

I had only two impacted wisdom teeth (upper). None grew in my lower jaw. Had IV sedation because mine were deeply impacted in my jaw.


Had no bleeding and I was eating regular food that night (pizza).

I did look like a woman who didn't listen well to her man.....my cheeks were very swollen and purple for several days.

I went to my sons game the next morning and had no pain or swelling to speak of. I got lucky.

I had mine removed when I was 16. I remember I bled for about a day and only one side of my face was swollen. All 4 were impact and had to be extracted. I believe I had them done on the last day of school before Christmas Break started and I was fine to eat solid foods in a couple of days, but my first helping of mashed potato's after surgery burned like hell because my mom salted them up nice and good.
