Tooth Answers

Hello,
I just had my wisdom teeth removed 4 days ago & today my dentist filled in with a packing loaded with clove oil. When will the awful taste go away? Its been about an hour. And also will it hurt to remove the packing 2 days from now? Because it really hurt to put the packing in. Thanks

I had my wisdom teeth all removed last Monday Jan 18 .Today is Sunday Jan 24. I can open my mouth a little but when I try to open it, it hurts a bit. I can only brush the teeth in the front & the front of my tongue. What I can do to clean my breath?? I can’t stand stinky breath anymore!

Just had quite an extraction 6 wisdom teeth (2 upper supernumeraries, extra wisdom teeth) & my upper bicuspids & lower second bicuspids so that is 10 teeth total in one surgery
I know that for the most part I can only eat cold or soft foods, but what are some ways to clean my mouth? should I brush my teeth, swish salt water around? how should I get food out of my tooth extraction holes?
(the surgery was about 18 hours ago)

I just had four wisdom teeth extracted almost 48 hrs ago. Bleeding appears to have slowed down, but I keep putting gauze over the extraction sites. How long do I continue placing gauze in those sites? Does that destroy the blot clot in that area if I continue to do so or should I leave it open while eating?

I’m getting braces & from what I’ve overheard they are going to be put on next appointment. I’ve gone through everything pre-braces besides extraction. I’ll need 4 bicuspids removed, & from some sources I’ve heard that braces can be put on immediately following. Is this common? And will I have the option to have them put on immediately following if it’s possible? Thanks in advance.
