    Dental Humor, I do hear that it's rare for people to have two sets of permanent teeth, just like it's rare to be born with 1 or three kidneys. Mom has 3. A co-worker was born with 1.

    That's true and some people have teeth BEHIND the wisdom teeth so instead of 32 teeth they could have 33-36. This is pretty rare too.

    Gosh flossie that sure would make me sad! Lol but I hope I'll be all right I did get dry socket but I am fighting that right now and the funny thing is I didn't drink out of a stawl and I don't smoke anymore so I don't know how I got it. But once I left the office that side was in more pain then the others. Bless you so much.

    I'm glad you are on the mend!

    The blood clot could have swished out while rinsing or spitting. Not to worry, you sound like things are under control now and you won't have to worry about those nasty wisdom teeth again!

    The pack should not be coming out. Have you called the dentist to tell them this?

    That's what I thought that's why I am still in pain. When it tries to come out I get this aweful pain but if I push it back down it seems to ease up a bit. I do have an appt Monday morning at 8 I called and told them today I was still in pain so as long as I can get through the weekend I think ill be okay I hope.

    If you are still experiencing pain you can alternate between Advil and Tylenol every 3 hours. Make sure you aren't eating foods that have residue like nuts, popcorn, and pasta. Avoid drinking carbonated beverages. Make sure when you push the packing back in the socket that your fingers are clean so you aren't reinfecting the site.
    Honestly, your dentist should be checking and replacing the packing every 24 hours until you are out of pain.

    Thanks for the advise although I have been eating those cups of roman noodles a lot lately I had no idea this could be bad. I got it repacked yesterday on Monday and it seems to feel a bit better. I do have a little bit of pain but nothing like it was. I haven't had a soda in forever also. Thanks for the info flossie. I do think I am on the path of healing finally.

    Neutrament, a meal in a can, helps a lot. From the grocery store. Don't get chocolate. Bad for healing.

    Ensure is another good choice as a meal replacement.

    Product Detail (Nutrament ® ) - Novartis Medical Nutrition U.S.

    It's much better for this application. Ask at the grocery store. It's not with Slimfast because that's diet stuff. This is a meal replacement.

    Thanks keepitsimplestupid, josh that name lol. Yes mame Flossie I had to go back they packed it twice for me. Yesterday I was still hurting but today I haven't taken a pain pill yet so I think I'm finally starting to heal and get over this which I am so happy about. I'm glad I only had to go through this once and it is a very painful experience like everyone told me it would be. Thanks to whoever recommended a college that was a great idea and I had it all done in less then two months. Thanks Flossie for helping me through this you truly are a blessing in itself. :)

    Yes, college dentistry benefits all involved. The client and the newby doing the work. They really need to know what they are doing to succeed in dentistry. Plus you have to have a lot of guts (LOL) to do it topladyj I salute you! Just kidding
