I had 3 wisdom teeth out a week ago and...?
I still can't chew too well with my molars. The gum area is still tender and chewing anything irritates it. Is this something I should be worried about?
I am not trying to self diagnose myself!?
Answers:
i had 3 wisdom teeth removed last week too! mine are still tender as well. but if you start chewing really soft foods it will start to toughen up the area again. but take it at your own pace. remember to rinse with saltwater after you eat so it washes away the food in the area and help it heal faster! :)
No, you do not have to be concerned about it. It will heal, in the meantime eat soft foods, soup, jello . If you want you can purchase some Aloe Vera Juice,at a health food store. It is a healer, and/or also take lots of Vitamin C tablets.
Also you can have someone pray healing for you, if you believe.
Had 4 of them out 2 and 1/2 weeks ago. Nothing wrong with you. I was thinking the same thing as you and the oral surgeon was basically saying eat whatever you want. My advice to you is a little expensive but worked great for me, give the salt water a miss now, and just gargle some mouthwash every 2 hours for about 3 days. Worked great for me. P.S after about a week and a half i started on the more solid foods, you may feel a little tender, but from about 2 weeks it has been great. you will want to guts yourself!!
Don't worry too much. Gums take time to heal. Go to http://www.oceansurgical.com.au/... to find out more on wisdom teeth surgery and post operative care instructions
