i'm proud to say, after years of neglect, i am finally able to take care of myself...
which means an extraction, several crowns, etc...
i just had my first (of four) visits and he removed a molar. He gave me some gauze and 800mg motrin for the pain. My issue: 4 hrs and still bleeding and i've been swapping gauze out and i'm out right now. I am trying to eat potato soup and ...it's a bit of an issue, to put it mildly. Any tips? this is the first 9 hrs home now and the bleeding is pretty much gone. is there anything i really need to watch for. I can't drink much and i still taste blood, and it's just very uncomfy. The pain isn't bad at all, though, after the first 2 hrs. I think i was biting improperly with the gauze in my mouth.
I'm really scared of removing the bloodclot in the socket accidentally. I dont' know how easy it is to do that and i REALLY do not wish to have a dry socket.
