I am terrified of dry socket.

But on the plus side I got some hella good vicodin.

Do you smoke? I think that's the biggest cause of dry socket.

Nope.

And all I've eaten today is a milkshake and some mashed potatoes. I think I'll stick with that for the next week just in case.

Yes, definitely avoid this. Be sure to gargle saltwater every so often.

Yeah, follow the instructions to a T. I got 3 removed and wasn't in all that much pain after the first night. I took 2 days off work just to be safe, if you have a strenous job.

I know my parents were furious when they found out how my wisdom teeth were extracted. They are supposed to either put you under, or give you really strong anesthesia so you don't feel a thing. I have high blood pressure so they were supposed to monitor my blood pressure while I was having it done. Barely was given anesthesia and my blood pressure wasn't monitored. All 4 pulled one after another. I didn't really feel pain, but there was pressure and bleeding.

It doesn't hurt much IMO but the procedure itself is quite uncomfortable because of how long you have to keep your mouth open while they fiddle around.

I thought the following days would be so painful that I'd need prescription painkillers for a week, but I took the pill on day 1 and didn't need them on the following days at all. I had all four teeth extracted in one session.

It's pretty rare for it to happen as long as you take care of your mouth hygiene, if you are only getting teeth on your top row it is virtually impossible to get dry socket

So I'm having some issues now....

I woke up this morning around 10am to go to the bathroom and start my day. I get done in the bathroom and decide to lay back down for a "couple more minutes,"

Well that turned into 5 more hours and I awoke at 3pm with a terrible headache, what I believe to be a slight fever, and just general lethargy and achy-ness.

The headache is now a little less bad, very slight fever is still there and I am still tired as hell.

Did I get COVID from the dentists office or is this a usual thing with pulling a wisdom tooth? I was told there would be a little pain and discomfort but I didn't expect this much.

That sounds like sepsis.
I don't know I feel like I would be in way more pain if it was sepsis.

If it persists through tomorrow I will call the doc.

I stayedway from the vicodin when I had mine pulled, didn't want to touch that shit. Ibuprofen is more than enough

Like others said, follow directions. After I got mine removed, I told myself I wouldnt eat solid food for a week. I abandoned that after 2 days , and was fine.

Everyone is different. Mine came out easy, and I didnt need anything for pain.

Did you go under for it or were you awake? I got knocked out because I had a couple that hadn't even grown in yet and didn't wanna be a awake while some dentist shreds my mouth apart. After that was over I had a mouth full of blood and a prescription for vicodin and went on my merry way.

I had one wisdom tooth pulled on 4 separate occasions each 2 months apart, felt sluggish for 24-48 hours after each one

I was awake but numb. The whole tooth came out and the most painful part was the doc pulling downward on the tool he was using and smashing my bottom lip into my teeth, causing some cuts. Had to raise my hand and say "What the hell doc?? put some padding on there or something..."

(he didn't)

This makes me feel better. I actually feel a lot better today.

I didn't get one of those. Nor is there a follow up appointment. Just got some extra gauze and told to fuck off.

This is why getting your wisdom teeth extracted in a van is a bad idea

i had all 4 of mine yanked out on the same day, no knockout gas, had to get them to cut the laughing gas off. i remember the ratcheting feeling as they pulled the tooth out bit by bit, no pain but the weirdest feeling of pressure.

If your wisdom teeth have erupted, it's not worth being put under at all.

I was asked if I wanted to be put under, and I said yes. Not because of pain, but because I didn't want to be awake while they yanked 5 teeth(I had a tooth with a really bad cavity that had to go)

Tooth pain feels good, it really distracts your mind from reality when the endorphins try and kick in maaaaaaan.

Smooth recovery? I got mine out a couple months ago and I had a super easy recovery. The pain from the tooth infection I had shortly before removal hurt a lot more.
