Wisdom Teeth Again


Question Posted Tuesday August 2 2005, 7:24 pm

I asked a question about wisdom teeth not too long ago. Thanks to those that answered (with helpful answers). The operation was today, and all went well (except for the pain i'm experiencing lol). I'm just wondering how long should I be biting on gauzes? Are there certain amount of hours after the extraction? Or it it until my lips don't feel numb anymore? Or what? Thanks a lot!

Seeing as I'm still getting answers, I guess I should say the bleeding stopped. Thanks for the answers! (This also means don't bother answering this anymore.).

You should keep the gauze on until the bleeding stops. Just replace the gauze if it gets soaked.

It's natural for your lips to feel numb. It should wear off in a few hours.

If you just got the operation today, then it will most likely be bleeding on and off all day. You only need the gauze if it is bleeding, put the gauze in your mouth for about a half hour before checking. Take the gauze out and see if it is bleedin continuously if so put new gauze in untill the bleeding stops. If it isn't bleeding anymore then take the gause out. Hope I helped :-)It should stop bleeding hours after the operation.
Get better! :-D

Just take the gauzes out when you feel like you stopped bleeding a bit. I took my out within an hour and then they started bleeding again. If I were you, I'd keep them on for at least 3 to 5 hours. (But change them when they feel a little bloody.) Hope all goes well, heal fast and eat loads of milkshakes :)

Normally you can take the gauze out after the bleeding slows down. when my boyfriend had his removed he took his gauze out about 3 hours after the surgery because he was barely bleeding.

Also, I dont know if the dentist told you this or not, but gargeling salt water will help the healing move along faster and cleanse any stitch you might have in your mouth.

Hope your feeling better soon!
