What is the recovery time for a difficult wisdom tooth extraction?
I had a very difficult extraction of my lower wisdom tooth by an oral surgeon. The procedure lasted over an hour and consisted of the dentist drilling little pieces of my tooth off to get it out. (the tooth was in down under the skin sideways near my jaw)
My jaw is also so achy and I am still on soft foods (I can’t even eat noodles!). I tried but today I am paying for it. I had the tooth out on Friday and I didn’t go to work today. How long will I be out for? I am 28yrs old..not a teen
I also still have numbess in my chin and lip area because of nerve damage
it’ll be a week or two if everything heals well and you dont get an infection…..definitely do not smoke bongs, the suction will give you a very painful condition called dry socket that is the most painful thing i ever endured
