Wisdom teeth pulled, WORST experience. This has given me nothing but panic and pain. I need some comfort.?

When I had them pulled 5 days ago I had crazy, severe bleeding. And now, the right side of my chin, cheek, and lower lip is tingly and numb. My teeth are also numb and heavy. Jaw is in pain. I have a small migraine on the left on and off through the day. There is slight pain when I swallow on the left. And my tongue is also partially tingly. Grrr, this pisses me off. I am just reminded of the fact that this could be permanent. I wake up all through the night, it%26#039;s just frustrating. I%26#039;m regretting the choice of my oral surgeon, who wouldn%26#039;t let me wait on taking out that specific tooth due to the fact that it could cause permanent nerve damage. I mean it%26#039;s not that he forced me to take that one out too, but of course when I%26#039;m thinking about it, sitting in front of him, and he tells me over and over his professional opinion about getting them all pulled out and that laughing gas is not the better choice for anesthesia, I%26#039;m going to listen to him. Is it likely that it will be permanent?

Hmmm.... if the bleeding is heavy and isn%26#039;t stopping easily you should seek medical assistance. If you%26#039;re experiencing continued numbness or tingling sensations, go seek medical assistance. If you don%26#039;t feel comfortable with your oral surgeon then you should definitely go get checked out - wisdom teeth are often removed unnecessarily and it%26#039;s an operation that is often botched... if that has happened then you need to know ASAP so if you have any doubts or continuing symptoms then don%26#039;t delay, get it checked out. You cannot be too careful with your health.





Hope you%26#039;re feeling better soon.
Reply:I can only tell you about my experience. I had 3 wisdom teeth removed at once, two of which were impacted. It was an awful time with severe pain and swelling for about 6 weeks. I also had some TMJ probelms for a while afterwards. I am completely over it now with no lasting problems. Do you have some good pain medication? Also, is it possible you have a dry socket? Call your oral surgeon and tell him what is going on. Feel better!
Reply:It should pass soon enough, and think of it this way: It could be worse.
Reply:I would call the dentist and tell him about your complications, I would also tell him you need some stronger pain medication. If the dentist tells you this is %26#039;normal%26#039; or refuses to do anything about it I would go into the emergency room or stat care.
Reply:I definately feel your pain I had to have my gums cut open to get mine out I had no room for them to grow in , but I thank god they put me to sleep , but a day later my neck and face had swollen so much that they became one I hope the doctor gave you the tylenol w/ codiene or at least 800 mil motrin to help w/ the swelling. if not you need to call him or someone call for you cause I know it must be hard .. if he did not or will not get you a perscription go to an emerg room and explain your pain or go to the drug store and find the highest mil of motrin and add them to get 800 milgrams and take that every 6 hours then yake tylenol every 4. drink plenty of fluids cause it sounds like you may be a little dehydrated, the bleeding is normal.dont be alarmed just try to not use to much force if you use a straw the pressure will increase the bleeding , rinse your mouth out with warm salt water helps heal quicker and warm liquids and warm compresses really help as well and get some rest ... but that is the best I can help I wish I could take your pain away cause I know your just completly misserable : )
