wisdom teeth 13/f (no roots when i got them out)
Ok, so it is the first day of school today and I didn't get to go because i got my wisdom teeth out on monday and so now i am swelled up very big and i can not even close my mouth. i was wondering how to make the swelling go down, and do not say ice because the doctor told me no ice after the first day. i know pretty strange huh? well i really want to go to school tomorrow and see all my friends and meet my teachers. so any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance :D

ok well forget what your dentist said about the ice. maybe you heard him rong and he really said keep the ice on it or sumthing because your best bet for the swelling to go down is ICE. i had 4 teeth pulled at the same time and i had to keep ice on it like 24/7.belive me it will definetly help!also gargle salt water alot and it will help the holes from getting infected.and have your mom call the school and explain whats going on and that you cant go into chool tomorrow.because that would not be a good idea. you will be in alot of pain.
hope i helped XoXo

Well, my dentist said to use ice. It would seem strange that a docter said not to put ice on it... Also, I suggest that you stay out of school for the next week or week and a half, because it'll hurt too much, and the medicine (at least mine) will get you dizzy. Ice is the bet way to keep the swelling down. Hope you feel better!

when i got my wisdom teeth out i got all four pulled and my dentist told me to keep the ice on it and it would make tha swelling go down , also rinse with salt water everytime you eat for about 2 weeks. so the holes where your teeth were dont get infected ~ hope i helped ~ Jen

He said not to put ice on after the first day? Don't listen to him. Use the ice. When I got my wisdom teeth out I was out of school for a week. It depends on how you feel though. If you feel ready to go back to school to see your teachers and classmates, go. Did the doctor gives you pills to help you with your wisdom teeth? If so, make sure you take them. They help a lot. Also, use the ice. The ice will make a big difference. Don't open your mouth wide, because it'll make the swelling worse. Just relax in bed and have some milkshakes. There's nothing you can do to speed up the process. Just take it easy for now.

well that is really really stupid. why no ice? i think you should call and ask him why because when my sister got it done she was supposed to put ice on for a week. so i would most deff. call him and ask him why you cant put ice on it .. and if that means no 'icey' packs.. you know the ones that stay cold for 12 hours.
you can take motrin .. every 4 hours, and that will take down the pain and swelling.
