Hi there, I am new to this site, I am so glad I found it
I have alot of anxiety issues and alot of health anxiety too My question is about an upper left erupted wisdom tooth I had removed. I had it removed on Monday afternoon, so I am 45 hrs in! I am just wondering whether or not I should be using the salt water rinse that I read about on here. My dentist didn't give me any at home instructions other than to keep the gauze in for 1/2 hr & replace as necessary, till bleeding stops, which I didn't have to do, when I did remove the gauze there was very minimal blood on it (maybe the size of a dime) so very thankful for that. nothing to painful at present, just minor aches & other teeth as well hurt? I am wondering if he didn't give my any at home instructions cuz it went very smoothly & easy. He said it was a small wisdom with only 1 root! I was also wondering when I can drink coffee again, should I be ok now? And at what point is the extraction site completely healed? When can i eat normally on both sided again without having to worry about the extraction spot? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
