your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

Sorry you're in pain.  Give the Vicodin time to work.  It is extremely effective in relieving dental pain.  I can sympathize - just had 26 teeth pulled on 5/5.  Vicodin is a narcotic, and is opiate based, so be careful with how much you take.  If you're not accustomed to taking opiate based analgesics, one should do you fine for four to six hours.  It should take effect between 20 min to an hour after you take it.  Good luck.

Getting your wisdom teeth taken out will be easy!  You won't even be there very long.  Just take it easy for a few days after.

you should not have a problem since you have bot smoked that long. get some nickoret gum and throw the cigarettes away and tell your self that you're finished with them. you have to tell your self that you are stronger than a pack of cigarettes.

You need to cancel your appointment... That is way too much for your mouth.. You are not properly healed from your oral surgery. Give it 6 weeks before anymore trauma in your mouth. Plus your heart does not need anymore numbing pain medication going thru your system this soon....

within the first 8 hours after your last,the carbon monoxide levels have already decreased making the level in your body almost normal. within 24 hours the nicotine withdrawl kicks in and that is why most don't make it past a day. if you make it past the third day you in the clear.that's when you start to cough up all kinds of nasty stuff.a few weeks later and it's all self control after that.

To get an accurate reading from your oral thermometer, wait for 30 minutes after smoking. This helps your temperature return to your normal temperature because when you smoke, it could have an affect of 1 degree less or more on body temps. Other factors include waiting 30 minutes or more when taking a bath, eating a meal, drinking any liquid hot or cold, or coming in from the cold outdoors.

i had 3 wisdom tooth extracted. Yes it is quite normal for it to bleed a little after one day especially if its from the lower jaw. Semi solid foods are good...if u like porriage or soft rice. I used to drink those complete nutrition drinks like Ensure or Resourse....it taste good and a can keeps u full for about 3-4 hours. And do try to lay off the ciggies for awhile...dont think the smoke make it heal any faster. Good oral hygiene is important too...rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash 3-4 times a day especially after meals

With drawls only last about 5 minutes or so...\n\nJust do something to take your mind off it.  When the craving hits, get busy!  Standing around for the next one, is instant regression because you are dwelling on the "need" of your body to get that smoke into your lungs again!\n\nTake your mind off it, it only lasts a few minutes when the cravings hit...so, if you do this, then you can whip it in no time..\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Dizziness and constipation are two side effects ov Vicodin.  Are you taking more than the directions read?  You shouldn't take more than three within a 24 hour period.  If you are in this much pain from having your wisdom teeth removed, from yesterday, you may want to follow up with your dentist ASAP.  There is a condition that CAN happen when you have an extraction called "dry socket" which is VERY painful!!\n\nJust know that wisdom teeth extraction is typically  painful.  It will just take some time, although please keep in mind, don't overdose on the Vicodin.

I am a dental assistant and honestly, yes it does hurt. Your best bet is to get a general anesthetic, (one that puts you to sleep.) When I had ine removed 3 years ago, I woke up and felt nothing because I was still under the anesthetic. After I woke from my nap however, I was in misery. My best advice is to take your pain medicine on schedule. It's alot easier to control the pain than to have to get rid of it again. Your cheeks will be "puffy" and the pain will last anywhere from 2-4 days. The nerve is not such a big deal. It sounds scary, but is in fact very common. Just avoid getting a dry socket by not smoking or drinking out of a straw and use COLD compresses. Hot will open the blood clod that has been formed after removal. From my experience having teeth removed is alot less hurtful then people believe due to the horror stories by other people. Just keep a positive attitude and don't work yourself up too much. Promise it's better then what you think. Hope this helps!!

You're ok, it takes 1 - 3 days for the nicotine to be out of your blood. For a very heavy smokers, it could take another day.  There's are traces of nicotine left in your organs for months, but they don't cause cravings, or show in Dr's tests.\n\nIf you're in need of a bit of encouragement and help to stay quit, so that your op and afterwards goes well, go to http://www.quitguide.com

I had my two bottom wisdom teeth pulled a while back and if your not in a lot of pain now, its only going to get better. They gave you some Vicodin right? just take that until you feel like you can be OK without them. After like three days you should be able to eat normal food again. If you have any concerns about it, all you have to do is call up your dentist and ask them about it. they will gladly help ya.

No, you should wait at least 15 minutes after eating because that allows your saliva to digest your food.

nip to the chemist and get some Oil Of Clove and some cotton buds. Rub some on the gum and tooth with the cotton bud. Then try not to touch it for a while. Some uber strength pain killers before hand will help you get through. I have managed two days like this before. Good luck mate.
