Don’t suck anything (straws, cigarettes, etc). If you do you’ll get dry socket and you’ll be in big time pain.
I wouldn’t brush where the tooth was at. Or if you do barley barley barley touch the area with the brush.

hey i feel your pain.. 5 teeth surgically extracted this morning.. yay
right now im just switching gauze often, making sure not to drink through a straw, and eating jello and oatmeal(ew) . brush the front of your teeth, do not go near the place where the wisdom tooth was removed unless you want it not to heal or to get infected. rinse with WARM, SALT water 3 to 4 times a day, this will take care of the wound. everything should be back to normal in a week or less
youre lucky you only had one!!

you will have to try to keep away from the wound as much as possile to let it heal. brush your teeth as normal, keeping away from hole. keep your tongue away from the area so it will heal more quickly.if you have a bad taste in your mouth from the blood, make some warm salty water in a glass and rinse your mouth GENTLY, do not swirl it with force. this will bathe and freshen your mouth

got mines pulled 5 hours ago and am also looking for help! it is a second molar and have to get the wisdom tooth pulled sept, 2nd, ice pack has been helping and its hard not to spit! they want us to swallow the blood. what has been working for you? they gave me lortab but it puts me to sleep, should i call in from work 2morrow? google for answers as well, found some good stuff about brushing your teeth 24-48 hrs after that! good luck to both of us! why couldnt they just pulled them both out?

Sort of do the same thing as you do when you loose a tooth. I recomend Jello! Hope you feel better! You get a star *
