Infections after Wisdom Teeth Removal

[@kezya2920]

I wish you did my wisdom teeth extraction. I got them done Thursday, and I didn’t even get any instructions of after care 🙄 I had to google and KZbin it.

[@yokev_5611]

That’s appalling

[@NadaAlawadhi]

I removed my wisdom teeth 3 weeks ago, luckily, yes and I say luckily, 3 were impacted so they got stitched and sealed. The 4th one though, was left open. My dentist said I could just swish water for 5 minutes and the food would get dislodged and I don’t need a syringe. But I figured I wasn’t gonna get one so came prepared and I already ordered one and I showed it to them if I could use it. They said it was unnecessary but I could use it. Well; the swishing worked on the second week but then the food kept getting there and the only way to get it out was to use the syringe. My point is, I’m so glad I was prepared and I got myself some syringes because it’s so good at keeping the socket clean!!! If your dentist doesn’t give you one, get some for yourself anyways! Just don’t use it too quickly! And consult your dentist!

[@Lilylightskin]

Mine didn’t give me one until day 7 :(

I wish I saw this comment when I got my wisdom teethe extracted. I thought the syringe was given after the removal. It is crazy with the amount that is paid and not a syringe for aftercare is not included

[@JohnEboyee]

My post op sheet says not to use the syringe until the 7th day! On day 4 I looked in the lower sockets and they had soft food in them from day 2. Rinsing gently will not dislodge those food particles, so why in the world wasn't this addressed before the surgery or on the post-op sheet? Historically, the majority of my wisdom teeth infections/swelling have been from food being trapped at the gums for prolonged periods. I see no reason not to start using the cleaning syringe at day 4 while remaining slow to clean so not to dislodge the clot. Seems by the 7th day, a more aggressive clean could be done. Nonetheless, my lower left site is in pain and swelled, so here I am doing my own doctor work so this heals properly. How nice that the ones we pay, cannot give us a comprehensive guide to healing from the start. Thanks for the good info in the video.

I just got mine taken out last week. I wasnt scheduled for a follow up or anyhting until I called on the fifth day after surgery and I was in extream pain. I had that hard lump in my jaw and no swelling anywhere else. I was called in and the dentist imedieatly said "thats not right"and got me taken care of. I started antibiotics then we found out those werent working as well as we wanted so they put me under again to flush out the socket. I did not have any food stuck in the socket. Bacteria made its way into my socket and thats all. I am still on my journey to recovery but I hope this migth help somebody.

[@nakiveikoso5660]

Had to have my gum abscess drained today, as well as extraction. To be fair before the procedure it was swollen for 4 days progressively getting worse and hurting more each day. Especially at night, but thankfully the dentist I went to was an oral surgeon and had no problem helping me out today. I was prescribed Amoxicillin as my antibiotic and ibuprofen as my painkiller from the ER. Ibuprofen didn’t help tbh but the dentist prescribed some hydrocodone and Chlorhexide Gluconate .12% oral rinse. They don’t want me rinsing my mouth until tomorrow. My job for today is to apply pressure to the empty spot where tooth was to hopefully create a blood clot. We’ll see how it goes from there.

They rarely hand out preventative antibiotics in the UK, you have to get a bad infection first then suffer for a few days while they antibiotics kick in.

[@allysonbeaulieu7351]

depending on the insurance company, it’s the same in the US 😂 at least in my experience. plus antibiotics are something you don’t want to take too many of, your body needs certain bacteria. so they’re typically only prescribed after an infection is present, except for extreme cases

I just got my teeth removed yesterday. Im disappointed and amazed at how the knowledge of my after care is more from me researching ahead of my appointment and not what's on the sheet that they gave me. They even looked confused when i asked will we be scheduling a follow up appointment. They forgot to schedule one and I will be calling to make sure there's a folllw up. Definitely going to share my thoughts with them on the lack of info on the aftercare sheet and how it should be the norm to follow up to make sure everything looks good especially if there are stitches. Doesn't matter if they are supposed to dissolve.

I had two infections after my bottom wisdom teeth were removed. The second infection which was 5 wks after removal, the dr had to do a incision and drainage and put in a drainage tube. I had the rubber tube removed one week after and now I have a hole that’s still trying to close. It’s been 3 mths and still trying g to fully recover. I am 42 yrs old so I’m not sure if that had anything to do with it. I was warned many times at my cleanings I had to get them removed bc as you get older, you healing takes longer.

[@whomeverwherever]

I had an obvious infection…pain and horrible tasting drainage after a large second molar extraction of a (healthy) tooth (it was scraping my cheek so the only option I was given was to extract it) last May. Went back to the dentist several times and he claimed it looked fine so referred me to an ENT. It was only then that I was prescribed antibiotics (by the ENT). Second dental opinion showed my jaw was missing where the extraction was done. It has been non stop pain. I do not want to go through oral surgery, nor should I have to. Wish I could turn back the clock and say NO to the extraction in the first place. My bite keeps changing also. Truly miserable. Need a miracle…

They told me I had a infection there before the wisdom teeth were extracted. After extraction they gave me no antibiotics and no antiseptic rinse. Said just rinse with salt water.

I had my right side wisdom teeth taken out and also no syringe but salt water to rinse. I was given antibiotics twice a day for 10 days. Although my extraction sights feel sensitive to touch and by that I was brush my teeth and my tongue brushed the incision and that hurt. I do use the syringe w salt water to clean my sites bc they do have holes. It’s still sensitive to warm and cold. I saw my surgeon last week for 2 weeks post op and she said things looked good. Here I though when I had my left side done a few yrs back was traumatizing nope easy w no swelling or complications. I’m also 42 yrs old so I don’t know if that is also a contributing factor that healing is a slower process. I will likely try to see my surgeon this week if the pain persist w sensitivity. Blah

Did you have your wisdom teeth removed? Did you find the cause

[@veronicacamacho1647]

Sucks bc I can’t afford dental insurance n went to Mexico to good known dentist, I just didn’t take 3 days of ABX bc I took em for years for chronic UTIs n was sick of them. Didn’t rinse them constantly with saltwater, n now back In USA. Already popped pus out n drained it myself with saltwater n cleaned out mast smelling blood with Q- tips , re-rinsed n will keep taking ABX n not eat hard to chew food for few more days or chew on that side. Kinda nervous about eating bc I found 2 pieces of food lodged in. My cheek had started to re-swell. Thank God I figured it out in time before it got worse!

Hi, afteer the upper left wisdom teeth removal I have a connection with the sinus, after finishing the antibiotic I have green boogers with a very odd and bad smell. Don't know how to get rid of that. There is no pain, just the smell and the other sinus is fine. It will go away with time?

How do I go about flushing my extraction site when the hole is covered with swollen gum because I got an infection?

[@willrobbz]

watch the root cause documentary on KZbin. The hole is meant to be healed in with new bone. And the periodontal ligament should have been removed with the teeth. Something most dental surgeons have not been trained to do.

Do bone grafts eliminate the chance of food becoming trapped in the socket? Also, when you say "brush back there" you don't actually mean brush the socket right? Seems like that'd be bad for healing

Keep on your course of antibiotics and pain meds. I’m on day 3, and the reason you don’t feel much pain is because of the meds. Do not stop them, you will regret it.
