    is it true that when you have your wisdom teeth removed you can't suck on anything until it heals? there is relevance to this i promise.

    move this if you like.. it just didn't seem to fit in with bio and genetics.

    A friend of mine had 5 wisdom teeth removed only a few months ago. That's insane. Apparantly the dentist told him that only neanderthals had that many....

    At lunch I always remember seeing him eat softer foods. No sucking on his food, no anything (although I never saw him sucking on his food prior to his toothlessness). A few references were made on how he'd have to eat through a straw though. So I don't know...the joke might have had some truth to it. THat's why I thought.

    There's no reason why somebody under those circumstances could not suck on anything. Not to my knowledge. Suck away

  8. i had all four wisdom teeth removed. and let me tell you that for those first 4 days, even the slightest change in head-blood-pressure is treacherous. sucking, which creates a vacuum, will indeed break the very thin initial stages of healing. avoid sneezing at all costs. oh and this was my favorite risk that i had to sign a form for: the upper two wisdom teeth gaps could break from vacuum sucking, resulting in a breach into the sinus cavity.

    ^meh. this'll be fun.

    i have a broken saliva gland. (easiest way to put it)... the on;y way it works is by force. however, if i dont make it work, well, it would be the same as filling a balloon with air and never letting any out. don't know if it would actually burst, but it would hurt like hell....

    and as for the wisdom teeth, i dont now much about the progess on the top ones, but the bottoms ones are coming in quick already have half of one, but my jaw is too small for the normal teeth let alone extras... my whole bottom jaw is bruising.. im just so terrified to get them out..
     
  10. jeez you have quite an unfortunate mouth. well i guess you are going to have to deal with a lot of blood. perhaps get comfortable with the flavor of gause.

    From what I remember from when I got my wisdom theeth removed, anything that might at all be bad for either you or the recovery process will hurt like hell, so before you can breach any sort of cavity, sinus or otherwise, through abnormal sucking or sneezing, you will feel tremendous and incapacitating pain.

    Oh, and keep the codein pills nearby.

    codein in pill form is about as effective as chewable tylonol. but liquid codien on the other hand...

    When I had my wisdom teeth out, they didn't even do general, they only did local. The stiches they used were biodegradable so it wasnt a problem. I probably shouldn't have, but I ate steak the next night. I don't want t gross anyone out, but the problem with halfing steak (especially medium rare) is that you can't tell which peices of meat in your mouth are steak and which ones are peices of you still hanging on from surgery. Needless to say, it hurt the next day, and I said i'd never do it again (but i did...i love steak!

    ).

    Either way, its not too bad, you can still suck on things when your teeth are out...just be careful.. Actually, i find proper suction in your mouth can be the only way to get certain peices of food out without having to use a toothbrush (OUCH) or a toothpick (EVEN OUCHIER!!).
