    Absolutely TERRIFIED of removing wisdom teeth

    Hi all, As the title suggests, I am literally terrified to get my wisdom teeth out. My oral surgeon seems nice, he's definitely a bit older and said he had seen hundreds of cases like mine. However, I'm still terrified. I've never even so much as sprained an ankle or broken a bone, let alone...

    I had a coronectomy and the wound is not healing?

    So, I went to a new dentist when I finally got insurance again after a long gap in coverage. I asked her if I should have my wisdom teeth removed. They've never caused any pain but it is hard to clean behind them. Food gets stuck and it's very gross. She said sure, she would refer me to an oral...

    Is my extraction site healing normally?

    I had my lower left wisdom tooth pulled out on the 19th. Later that day a noticeable clot formed which then disappeared (within the next day). The inside of my cheek was a bit swollen because of stitching and there's this bad taste in my mouth (still slightly there) and a white patch...

    Extraction Healing Concern

    Hi, I just had my very first (and hopefully only) extraction 3 days ago on #2 tooth. I have noticed a significant change in the appearance over the last few days. Although the hole looks smaller today, I can see a white blob now and it is hard to see if the blood clot is below it... and I am...

    Post-Extraction Healing Progress and Dry Socket Worries

    Hello there. I had to have my bottom right 2nd molar extracted last Wednesday morning and I've been worrying to no end about possible dry socket.
