"During the first 72 hours after surgery you may be advised to apply cold pcks to your jaw (20 minutes on/20 minutes off) as much as possible during waking hours." "After 48 hours you shoukd begin to apply moist warm heat every 2 to 3 hours for 5 to 10 minites to bring the swelling down." These were the typed up directions my orthedonist gave me..got all four of my wisdom teeth out 5 days ago.

Hi, I had a upper wisdom tooth removed, the dentist said he could see my sinus. I had lots of pain and was given pain meds. Now it's been over 3 weeks and each time I put my face down my nose starts running on the same side of face. When I put my head down I can smell awful mucus smell. I have mucus come down my throat many times of the day where I need to spit it up as it grosses me out. The symptoms only show up if I put my face down or I'm laying down with face down, like in a massage table.

You also might have a muscle spasm in your face. I had that, excruciating soul crushing pain from the bottom of the jaw up to my ear on one side, turns out I had a face spasm for a week (pain killers had been numbing it up enough so I could function, barely). I was prescribed a muscle relaxant and within hours the pain was gone

About a week ago I got my wisdom teeth pulled out along with a supernumerary tooth, about 7 days later I was feeling, then one day I was in class and I tasted this awful salty taste, so I took out a tissue and put it in the back of my lower right jaw. Then when I pulled it out the tissue was covered in this light brown substance and it smelled bad, what is it

4 days ago I had a full mouth extraction and dentures put in. There's a terrible taste and smell coming from my gums. What can I do? I don't want to have to go into the ER.

I've been feeling dizzy and spaced out after my wisdom teeth were pulled out. What does that mean? When will it stop?
