Wisdom Teeth-Weird Feeling

[StacyStrong]

Hi, I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday (all 4). It actualy doesn't hurt that badly at all and I'm not THAT swollen.

However, when I bite down not only does my bite feel off but my teeth kind of feel sticky? or chalky? Almost like there is drying cements on it. it's a really weird feeling.

Any idea if that is normal or if something is wrong? Will that go away?

help!!!

I remember having that after mine were removed, but I am not quite sure what causes it.

I was too scared to chew for several days but when I did maybe 2 or 3 days later I didn't get that feeling so hopefully it will be gone soon!

another question completely unrelated: the inside of my cheeks like..peel a lot? i think its oral thrush.

this happens like..one every other month.

is there something i can do to prevent this?

You need to get it checked out, it's unlikely to be thrush.

i was actually googling it last night and i came across something that sounds EXACTLY like me.

i honestly just think its a nervous habit/ocd type thing because i non stop bite the insides of my cheeks


but is the sticky teeth feeling normal?


also...my wisdom teeth dont really hurt AT ALL anymore. just a tiny bit of puffiness so it hurts to touch that a tiny bit

btu my mout still wont open all the way. is that normal or should i be concerned my jaw got messed up?

 

[mikey]

Thought I would add another 2 cents worth, My jaw wouldn't open all the way as well, for a few days afterwards.

My jaw didn't open fully either after having my wisdoms out, don't worry everything will return to normal. As Gordon recommended see a dentist about the cheek thing.

Get well soon and happy healing.

 

[StacyStrong]

I'm convinced my jaw is broken.

 

[StacyStrong]

That's as wide as I can open it. That can't be normal.

 

[Gordon]

It's pretty normal after wisdom teeth extraction. Try either ice packs or heat packs, depends which feels better. Usually ice is best.

Thank you SO much for your responses and I know I probably sound ridiculous but I have ANOTHER concern. Sorry.

I stuck my tongue back there a bit (I know I know, I'm not supposed to) and the gum felt all gooey and jiggly. Is that normal???

I'm on vicodin, ibuprofen, pennicillin, and a mouth wash for gingivitis if that matters.

The gooey gum is 100% normal. I had a baby tooth out ages ago before I had ever heard not to poke the socket and was contantly poking the goo. Took a while to go away but did. This time I was so paranoid my tongue went nowhere near the sites (having heard that its not a great idea) but I bet they were as gooey if not more so!

The gooey stuff is granulation tissue. It's good stuff despite the texture
