It sounds like you had a lot of teeth pulled - ouch!  I bled for almost 10 hours after my wisdom teeth were pulled, but it takes a long time for me to clot.  My dad is a dentist and he told me that the best thing to do is to continue taking your meds and bite down - hard - on the gauze the dentist gave you.  It will hurt, but you have to bite down for at least 30 mins very hard, then take 20 mins off and repeat.  Keep doing it until there is no more blood in the gauze.\n\nGood luck and rest up ;)

I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they  pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!

They will begin by sedating you.  You will be out during the procedure.  Then he will make an incision.  He will use several instruments to wiggle the tooth out.  If the tooth is difficult or under bone, he will have to use the drill.  Like I said, you will not know what is going on.  After your teeth come out, your both sides of your mouth will be stuffed with gauze, which you bite down.  Most likely, you will not have stiches.  Then you will go to a recovery room and wait for about 30 minutes.  Then you will be sent home with prescriptions and a blunt-tiped (not sharp) syringe.  You will use that after getting up, after eating, and before bed to irrigate your lower sockets.  You do this because food can get trapped in your sockets.  Also, do not drink from a straw or smoke for at least a week or you may get a dry socket.  If this happens, you will go back to the oral surgeons office to have it packed.  Dry sockets hurt very bad.  you will know if you get one.  It is nothing to be afraid of.  I promise...

Its normal to have lots of pain when wisdom teeth  are erupting.  OWWWWWW.   Just like when she was cutting teeth as a baby.

I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago, when they numb your mouth they do something w/ the nerves and such, i couldn't feel the bottom right lower jaw from my back teeth to my chin for about 2-3 days, i got freaked out but my mom ( a doctor) told me it was alright... just don't panic and if you don't get feeling back in a few days, go to your doctor \nGOOD LUCK

WHAT CAN HAPPEN..\nNew or recurrent tooth decay on a wisdom tooth's neighboring tooth\n\nPeriodontal disease ("gum disease").\n\nCysts and tumors.\n\nTooth crowding.\n\nDamage to neighboring teeth.\n\nTHIS LINK IS GREAT I USED IT..http://www.animated-teeth.com/wisdom_teeth/t2_wisdom_tooth_extraction.htm

It depends on the person and the type teeth that are being removed. The more difficult the tooth extraction then, proportionally, the greater the probability of post-operative pain. Psychologically, it does feel just like much pushing and shoving during the procedure, but if it does hurt, tell the surgeon, as some inflamed and infected teeth take a little more to anaesthetise.\nAs for the person, different people have different reactions. I had my two lower impacted teeth removed under local. They needed to be sectioed, or cut, to be removed, but it didn't hurt. I was up and studying within two hours - pretty stupid really, as I should have milked the sympathy!\nTwo tips may be of benefit, though:\n(1) Take pain relief about 30 mins after procedure, while you are still numb - it makes the transition out of anaesthesia much smoother, and aids healing, as the less pain you're in the quicker you will heal\n(2) Try to relax best you can before, during and after the procedure - the more relaxed you are, the better anaesthesia works, and the better that works, the better the procedure for you, during and after the procedure.\nRemember, not all wisdom teeth are horror stories! Good luck!

Usually if you have a dry socket, you have non stop pain. When I had my wisdom teeth cut out I had some pain, but it would come and go. If it continues after a few days, get it checked out.

I personally have never known a general dentist that will extract partially impacted wisdom teeth.  They all refer to an oral surgeon.  Take out a loan and do what you need to do to get them taken out as soon as possible.  Trust me, you don't want them to get infected again because it's going to hurt even worse the next time as it did the last time.  I wish you the best of luck.

did you know that people still die from dental abscesses that go untreated? sometimes, abscesses will eat a little canal thru your bone and drain- when this happens - usually there is no pain but imagine what that is doing to your body! the best thing to do is get to your dentist and let him/her take care of you the best they have been trained to do.

My mother works for an oral surgeon and I am familiar with wisdom teeth extractions. This is normal for you to still have some bleeding. If it continues by Tuesday, I would recommend that you call the surgeon. \nAs far as dry socket, you will know right away if you develop this. It is pretty painful. Keep rinsing with the salt water, and you should be fine. Avoid drinking things through a straw, this will make things worse.\nThanks and I hope you're feeling better soon!

who ever said of course it will hurt needs to find a new dentist!! It will NOT hurt. But it will feel really weird because you will have a lot of pressure in your mouth. If the dentist gives you plenty of anesthetic and you are completely numb it will not hurt at all, but it will be a little annoying, yes. You can also call your dentist and tell them you are scared and they can call in a prescription for you to take one hour prior to your appointment to relax you like valuum. Also you may want to use nitrox oxide ( laughing gas) to also help relax you. It wont get you numb like some people think...but it does help take your mind off of it! Also bring a book or music so you will not hear noises because they will be working next to your ear so it can be noisy but this is also normal.Also aftercare...don't smoke or suck through a straw, this can cause dry socket and they will explain this to you as well. But most important make sure to take something for pain while your still numb that way it kicks in by the time your un numb, they may prescribe you something so fill it right away, just dont take on an empty stomach cause you will not want to puke after having an extraction done.....not to worry i have been doing this for a long time and have had my teeth pulled and most people tell me that it wasn so bad. Most of the people listing advice just had a bad experience or bad dentist.

Your going through exactly what i am i am shamed terrified everything! My doctor put me on to an excellent dentist and he didnt yell he was so nice and freindly and did not say one bad thing about me. I need all mine pulled wisdom too apart from 7 lower front ones. I coudlnt make an app my mother had to, i even freaked out during the xray! My doctor gave me a mild quick sedative that lasts about an hour to calm nerves before they put me under, maybe talk to your local doctor. I have seen the dentist now i feel better but i am still scared and petrified! I can fill you in more about my history if we can contact via email, not sure but happy to tell you what i have done to combat my fear in the last week weeks if it helps you :) Gee my husband doesnt even know how bad my mouth is and i only opened up to my mum 5 weeks ago! Good luck i wish you well (i just have to get thru it first too

Talk to your doctor and to your dentist and see what they have to say. I would probably say it's okay (except for the painkillers, possible), but to be on the safe side, TALK TO YOUR DENTIST AND YOUR DOCTOR!

I am terrified of the dentist... I'm 42!!! I have finally found a way I can get things done.. I get intravenis (sp?) sleep dentistry done...  they stick an IV in my arm.. and, although I'm awake.. I'm only semi-aware that something is being done.. I remember almost nothing of the work... 3-4 hours at a time.. I feel no pain... and even when I wake up and afterward.. the pain is bearable.. it's soooooooo much easier....  it's a little more expensive having to pay for the IV but it's worth it if you have a fear of the dentist... I highly recommend it...  check with local dentists.. not everybody does it.
