When my kids had their wisdom teeth pulled, they each got big tooth fairy bonuses.
I also echo the wet black tea bag and nothing with small bits. I had a tooth pulled a while back and the doc gave me this cool syringe link thing to irrigate the area - it had a small curved spout on the end. I loved that thing.
I've followed up percoset and vicodin with ambien, with no problems. (Not at the same time!)
But I have a high drug tolerance. My doc has worked extensively on my insomnia meds, and they're tweaked to such a high levels that most people would fall asleep before they'd even made it from the bathroom to bed.
There's supposed to be a blood clot. It's part of the healing process.
We lost a dear friend of the family today, not unexpectedly. She loved a good, long life and she will be missed.
I woke up from a pain meds induced nap and went to check on the extraction site - it looked okay the last time I looked. And now there's a piece of tooth or root or something poking out and no sign of a blood clot. Of course I discover this 3 minutes AFTER the oral surgeon's office closed so I called the after hours number and I'm waiting for a call back.
It looks almost like a baby tooth. I Getting this tooth taken care of is like to dealing with Hydra or something. As soon as I think I'm getting this fixed another thing happens.
I'm sorry sj
And askye, I hope they call soon and can reassure you.
Well they did. It could be food he said I got pissed.
I rinsed my mouth out with salt water.
You know how (I think it was your son) swallowed something and it was square and white and shaped like a tooth? Turns out I had a chunk of potato from my lunch of mashed potatoes stuck int here that looked like a tooth.
I got a different brand of mashed potatoes than I've been eating because they were on sale, they are also chunkier and I didn't realize it. So I feel foolish for over reating over a piece of mashed potato. At least it's nothing.
I wouldn't call that over-reacting, askye. I would have been very concerned, too, by something that looked like a tooth being where a tooth shouldn't be. And by "very concerned" I mean "probably needing a Valium".
