3 days after getting wisdom teeth pulled should you still be in pain and not be able to eat anything?
Answer:
I just had mine out as an adult a few months ago. I was sore a few days afterwards too, but it was mostly my other teeth shifting back into place that hurt the most. So, my whole mouth hurt. I don't think I ate anything solid for about 5 days, (other than mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, etc). Just stick with it. It'll be better soon. Don't swish too hard with the salt water either.
That sounds somewhat normal, but everyone is different. Try--really try, to eat something. It will feel strange for a week or so and then it will feel better.
Don't go that long without eating something. Pudding works well.
i had mine done on christmas break and i couldnt eat for 2 weeks! all those cookies and treats i couldnt chew! lol its normal and yes those holes can get annoying, everyday gets better and better, try to chew with your front teeth..it's hard but possible.
Three days is not a long time after sugery. One thing you really have to be careful with is a "dry socket" (where the clot acutally comes out). I got one after I had my wisdom teeth cut out. IYou will know you have one they hurt like hell , also had to use a water pick to get any food out of the holes.
"cannot chew anything"" dr said eat soft foods not chew foods!! if yu eat soft foods yu shouldnt have anything in holes?swish and rinse dont suck,eat soft foods and yu will survive!!3rd day is usually the worse like when yu have any surgery, pain should be lessening gradually? are yu taking tylenol?the more yu move yur jaws the better it will be?dont be timid just cautious!
