I am having 2 teeth extracted and am flying to hawaii the following day. What can I expect?
Question:
Answers:
Soreness if you are having your molars pulled out. Otherwise it would be a slight dull ache. If you are having suturing done, do not eat anything solid or sip drinks through a straw (it will open your sutures) for 24 hours.
For now, just rest and vicodin will kill your pain away.
By the way, can you post-pone your extraction till after the trip, so you can last a few days with your 2 teeth? You need to enjoy your vacation, not think about pain. Think of it as a goodbye gift to your teeth. If it's bad teeth, oh well?.
I have been recommended not to fly on a plane right after any oral procedure. You may hemorrage due to the pressure up in those types of altitudes.
Basically, excruciating pain and irritability. Try taking Tylenol before going on the plane. And get some Ginger ale on the plane to calm down your stomach and nerves
Right after you have your teeth extracted [if you used Novocaine] the area where you have gotten your teeth pulled will be puffy. It will go down by the next day or so. I would take it easy on the day that you get them pulled, sleep. Do not eat anything that might rip that area of your gum. That would be bad. Good luck and have a good trip!
Not a good idea to fly after extractions. You can expect increased pain, throbbing, and lots of bleeding for sure. You won't be able to drink alcohol until the area is completely healed, and painkillers cause more bleeding too...especially when you are under pressure. Carbonated drinks are bad after extractions as well. I would seriously recommend postponing flying or the dental work. The combo is not a pleasurable one.
nothing.it shouldn't be that big of a deal
ive had ten teeth pulled and the only thing that bothers me is the numbing feeling which isn't really pain but yah just make sure if it does start bothering you you have advil or something
good luck have fun on your trip!
not good idea you need to let your dentist know
