arsing buggeration. Had 2 wisdom teeth out last sat and Ive been in quite a bit of pain, and still bleeding. spoke to the hospital yesterday, and they said it sounds like deep tissue bruising.

fair enough

woke up this morning with funny taste in my mouth, finally able to open my mouth wide enough to have a look and there is a whitish/yellowish lump in the hole, my ear and cheekbone are throbbing and I feel rotten.

its infected isnt it?

waiting for hospital to call me back, again.

Oh dear no word from lissie ,hope she's tucked up asleep and no longer in agony .

Well she does not have pericoronitis. I see the words wisdom teeth and go into a weird fugue and think that. I have re-read the thread and she has had her wisdom teeth out which means a dry socket.

lissie has hopefully seen the dentist and is on antibiotics.

Hope to see a good update soon Lissie :)

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I have been really crap. Didn't think about updating!

I wimped out. But in my defence, it doesn't hurt half as much today and the swelling has subsided quite a bit.

Lissie

Are you keeping up with the mouth washes and avoiding 'gritty' foods?

OracleInaCoracle · 30/01/2012 20:58

I am. I'm rinsing with warm/hot salt water after eating and am rinsing with antibacterial mouthwash twice a day. Still eating v soft food and chewing on the other side of my mouth. Its hurting a bit now, so I will call them tomorrow. If they want to see me I can pop in.

I know I'm being a wimp. I just bear the thought of them foraging in there again!

Believe me. They will not 'forage'.

That is for badgers and other critters.
