I don't know as far as the stress dosing since you are not on cortisol, but

make sure they stitch up the opening. I got mine removed at 19 and the

dentist just left the extraction area open. I remember bleeding a lot. That

was also the year my adrenals crashed. I think bacteria ended up getting in

there and continued during the years (cavitations) which I now have to

address one I can afford to get my dental work done.

The other thing you can do to help the areas heal is to swish sea salt/water

mixture around your mouth several times a day.

New to this forum - wondering about wisdom teeth

being pulled

I am having my 3 remaining wisdom teeth pulled on Thurs (1-24)-just

pulled, not cut out, as they erupted when I was in my late teens. My

question is - if I am not on any Isocort or HC (except OTC HC cream

once in a while when my stress symptoms seem out-of-control) as I am

waiting for the results of my Diagnos-Techs saliva testing, is there

anything I can or should do to minimize the stress reaction to this

procedure? I am still on levothyroxine (have a filled prescription of

Armour waiting for me to get the status of my adrenals) and started sea

salt (Himalayan?) this past Friday.

Thanks, Val and Cheri!

I will do the cream and make sure to ask about stitching up the holes

(I don't think they usually do that, do they?) and will use my sea salt

as a rinse.

Thanks again!

Many of my friends said their dentists stitched up their holes and it is

common practice where I am now. However, I got mine done a few decades ago

by a rural dentist who did a lot of damaging things. It makes sense that you

don't want to leave the hole open to bacteria and while one tooth didn't

bleed that badly, in the other one I had constant bleeding for days. I only

learned a few years ago about cavitations and how they can poison your

entire body. You should probably Google cavitations and their dangers and

take it with you to your appointment (the research) in case your dentist

doesn't stitch. That way you can insist. They have stitches that

automatically dissolve in a few days so s/he should be able to use those.

Hi

If he does not stitch make sure not to make harsh movements within the first

hour,don't gargle strongly first one or two days..(not sure if it was one or two

days) you might google on that.This is important for not moving the blot clot

forming there.when blot clot moves it is very likely that you might have a

cavitation problem.I learned my lesson in hard way.

Why is that, Nil? With the blood clot? Mine moved constantly in one tooth

and really never formed much of one to begin with. I bled for days.

Cheri,

I will search out that info. The dentist who pulled my first wisdom

tooth (around 4 years ago maybe - fuzzy memory) did not stitch. And,

man, did that thing take LONG to heal up! I guess I just assumed that

no stitching was the norm. This is a different dentist that the one who

pulled the first one, so I will see what he does and be armed with info

on the stitching situation.

Thanks!

Nil,

I remember being told this when I got the first one pulled several

years ago. Also wasn't supposed to use a straw due to the suction it

would cause in the mouth and possibly disrupt the clot.

I am scared of dry socket, or whatever it is called, so I am going to

ask for stitches!

Thanks!

Hi Cheri

blood clot normally starts forming right after the extraction.

here is some info on that

or did you have coagulation problems?

Thanks. You know, the seam in the back lower teeth is still not sealed after

20 years. Periodically they open up (it's a slit) and will create pain and

problems for me. They are frequently irritated too. This is why I am pretty

sure I have cavitations and I know food gets in there sometimes.

That website mentions sutures with the blood clots. Since I never had

sutures, who knows what went on with mine. Looks like that dentist does a

good job on them. I just know I still have problems with the bottom two

ones.

Yes, please do. Over 20 years later I still have problems with mine and they

still open up. Cheri

OMG! That is the worst possible thing to do until some healing has taken

place or unless the opening is stitched shut or well packed. I swished

after an extraction and got a " dry socket " and it was the worst pain

imaginable, and I had to get ultra heavy duty painkillers for it.

Really? That helped my first tooth. The second one that bled like crazy I

didn't do it because I was just bleeding constantly. Though if you swish too

hard I could imagine that would open the clot and be bad.

I never had a lot of pain but mine never healed either because they didn't

stitch it up. I think if they stitch it the clotting process goes much

better.

Did you have yours stitched, Sol?

I can't remember exactly what happened, but I think they stitched it and it

came loose. Then there was a hole with a slight flap over it. It did hurt,

but not beyond what I would have expected or more than where the other tooth

was removed. When it did start hurting and I went back in they said it was a

dry socket and that an infection had set up from the food particles getting

in it. It did take a really long time for the hole to fill in and there is

still an indention there and not in the other areas where my wisdom teeth

were removed.
