Who's the dentist on here?

I know someone is a dentist or close to it, but I can't remember who.

Thank you! I couldn't think of his name.

Well crap. He's not on. Anyone else familiar with wisdom teeth post surgery problems?

[dimbee]

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out at the same time, and it sucked balls. It was before my freshman year in college, so it was a long, long time ago... I'm sorry I can't help with that. I remember eating a lot of pain killers and soft serve foods.

[sunbunny]

It's been 22 years since I had mine out. I still remember the pain.

Ty's having a bit of a problem. He had his out on Wed, and he's started back bleeding.

He's still eating mushy food. He smooshes up pancakes until they're like baby food. He's doing the same thing with eggs. That's about the extent of his diet right now. LOL

can't do smoothies through straws though...

For the bleeding, I suggest moistening a tea bag with lukewarm water and have him bite down on it sandwiched between the sockets for a good while...

The acids help any pain or discomfort, and mixed with the pressure can help hold back the bleeding...

I'm no dentist, though... Get official advice from Epi...

Update?

I think he'll be fine. He goes back Wed for his follow up. His stitches are coming out, and I think that was why he was bleeding.

He wants to know when he can eat again. LOL He's having a hard time getting his mouth open enough to get a spoon in.

Pretty much what I figured.
