I am getting my upper left molar extracted today. I had my upper right molar removed a few years ago, but I forgot what it was like. I have watched a few of these videos from various dentists. While they were all informative and helpful, you are the only dentist who actually responded to the comments. Thank you for that! As a side note, I have a very small mouth and jaw. After my upper right molar was removed my teeth shifted and made that side of my mouth more comfortable and easier to floss the teeth. I am looking forward to the same thing happening on the left side! Thanks again. 😀

Your dentist should have given you some extra gauze to take home with you. Tea bags work well as a substitute, otherwise you can use a small piece of clean cloth. Don't use a tissue or paper towel, bits of it can get stuck to the extraction site. Give your dentist a call, they can give you more gauze. Thank you very much for watching.

Hey Doc, very informative video and good work on it. I just had two teeth removed, one upper, one lower, 3rd from the back, and another two to go in a little over a week in preperation for braces. I notice the clot continually coming out doing simple things like drinking water. Its been 24 hours since extraction and I am concerned that little things like eating mashed potatoes, or drinking water will cause more clotting to be removed. How am I supposed to get to a point of brushing my teeth, or rinsing with salt water if I cant even eat mashed potatoes without removing a clot? Also, how do I clean the food out of the extraction site without removing the clot?

@VeryNiceSmileDental 2 жыл бұрын

Give the extraction sites another day before you start rinsing. It is normal to see little bits of blood in the beginning. Once the clots are firmly established in the extraction sockets you should be able to brush your teeth and rinse without disturbing them. Thank you very much for watching.

Hi Doc. I had a lower tooth pulled on June 16th. It broke off and the dentist had to dig out the root. I realize it's normal to have some small fragments work themselves to the surface but there is a sharp piece on the inside of my gums that is poking through that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I have yellowish white jelly like stuff in the socket itself, which I think is that granulating material that helps it heal. But what bothers me the most right now is that piece of tooth or root or whatever it is sticking out and my tongue keeps rubbing against it getting sore. The gums in that area are very sore and red. It basically feels like when a baby is cutting teeth. Lots of drooling and dull pain. I've been taking ibuprofen to minimize the pain. Is it ok to use Orajel as a topical numbing medication on the gums? I also accidentally disturbed the white stuff, will it grow back together to close the hole? I'm concerned about infection and since I've run out of antibiotics I tried calling my dentist to see if he could prescribe some more, but the receptionist won't let me talk to him. She said that she would give him the message that I called but I never heard back and now it's the 4th of July weekend. I've never had an extraction take this long to heal or have stuff poke through the gums and not come out. Anything I can do to help this heal properly?

@VeryNiceSmileDental 2 жыл бұрын

Try to get in and see your dentist as soon as you can. Best thing for the discomfort is ibuprofen, and rinse out regularly to keep the area clean. Is the sharp piece of bone/tooth wiggly?

@Siggy4844 2 жыл бұрын

@@VeryNiceSmileDental no, it's not wiggly at all and they won't see me without upfront payment. The extraction had to be paid in full too before the procedure was done. It still has not healed and it's been almost a month now. I've been rinsing with salt water and I've been taking Ibuprofen. My request for additional antibiotics fell on deaf ears. I never heard back from them. I don't think I'll return to this "dentist". I'm done with them.

Hi Doc, You are awesome for giving all this valuable information. I really appreciate that.🙂 My father, age 63, has been taking Aspirin 75mg daily as an antiplatelet for the past 2 years since he had a stroke. Our neurologist has advised strictly not to stop Aspirin 75mg before or after the extraction and to continue taking it. I found some literature online and on "medicine interaction checkers" that Ibuprofen should not be taken with when Aspirin is active in the body. So can he take any other safe alternative as a pain killer after the extraction?

Hi, thanks for the kind words. Your best course of action is to check with your dad's physician since they know your dad's medical history. Patients of mine who can't take ibuprofen usually take acetaminophen instead.

Hello Doctor, I got two of my bottoms wisdom teeths removed at once in 27.04.2023. After 3-4 hours after the extraction of the teeth, I spat out a blood clot. I called my dentist and they said "It's all good, it may happen, new clot gonna rise" But after that it's, 29.04.2023 and Im still bleeding from my mouth and also one of the surgical wounds looks much worse than the other one. Im bleeding only from this worse side, that's why Iam curious what's happening. Bot wounds were made at the same time and one of them is much worse

Is it ok to continue using gauze days after extraction?

I have had pain in the bottom left for years whenever I chewed anything on that side. I decided to have the second molar extracted as it had a large filling and seemed the most likely culprit (it felt sore when I tested it by chewing with a blue dental stick), but in the days since the extraction both the teeth either side of it feel very sore when I press my top teeth down on them or chew, even though I am chewing on the other side of my mouth. I am worried I may have had the wrong tooth pulled. If it is just trauma caused by the extraction, how long should it take to settle down so I know if more needs to be done?

You would've made a better dentist for me. Much of the dentists I had were dishonest enough to neglect mentioning early signs of enamel erosion and gum recessions. All they ever kept focused on was mainly if whether or not and I had cavities. Even when they said no cavities there ought to have been other problems by then. And one appointment they said I had no cavities. A week later however I felt pain and then they revealed that they had xrays showing that I ALREADY had a deep cavity that required a root canal. These cheap dentists had only allowed things to become much worse than they had to be.

Hi, it can be done. Thank you for the video idea. Basically, you can brush your teeth in the areas not near the extraction site, for instance, if you had a lower left molar pulled, brush your upper teeth and the teeth on the lower right and in the front. Then take a mouth full of water and lean your head side to side, and up and down, then with your head over the sink, open your mouth and let the water run out, don't spit, don't use your cheek muscles. Do that a couple of times to gently rinse out your mouth. I hope that makes sense. I will make a video in the next few days to demonstrate what I'm describing. Thank you very much for watching!
