Removed wisdom, but not the stitch?
19th September 2011

Question:
Hello Dentistry Correspondence,
I had surgery a wisdom tooth out today, there was almost horizontal in the jaw on the right side. I have not particularly bad, I can chew and speak without problems, but is very sore up under the jaw, even when I turn my head. I guess what you can expect after an intervention, but I've read other people's spots, and it seems like they have all been made? I'm not - it bleeds a lot, if I sneeze or span my stomach muscles and there is a large black hole down the right side of my lower mouth. Is it necessary to be made after such an operation for a little nervous on the consumption of eg colas, as I have a close relationship with (I am familiar with syreskader, so it is not part of my question) but is there any kind of food or beverages at any time may not come into the open crater?
Sincerely Cæcilie
Answer:
Dear Cecilia
It is very common that you will be made after an operation. But your dentist has probably judged that it might. was not necessary in your case. You should visit the dentist again if you are worried. But you must like to drink Cola 
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
Dentist Joan Olsen

Have I got a blood clot in my cheek?
8th June 2010
Filed of the mouth
Question:
Hey.
I've had a wisdom tooth out, have been told that there has been inflammation in it. My cheek is really great, like I have a tennis ball on one side of the mouth, a colleague says that it may be a blood clot in my cheek is that correct? If yes, when will disappear and you can do something for yourself that it will disappear faster?
Christina
Answer:
Dear Christina,
It's perfectly normal to swell after a wisdom tooth removal. If you believe that there is infection, then you should contact your dentist right away and get some penicillin for it. Typically you will be uncomfortable with fever if an infection. If it is general swelling, then nothing is done, but be patient, it disappears by itself. You can put a cold compress on the first 2 days after tooth extraction, or fomentation the following days.
Hope you can use my answer.

Have gone to great pains in the jaw in a year
8th June 2010
Filed in Jaws and Joints
Question:
Dear Tandpleje.dk
I have a year now, gone with great pain in my left jaw. I had a wisdom tooth that was pulled to the left of the foot when I thought it was the one that was wrong with. But it's like the hole that would be after the tooth had been pulled out, still swollen and it hurts when I touch it. It is very heavy and deep pain in her left cheek. When it stands on is I noticed that my left nostril, usually a stop and they pull down my throat and into my temple and the left eye.
Is there anything I can do on their own. Are students so it would be too expensive for me to go to a dentist!
Sincerely.
Martin!
Answer:
Dear Martin,
It sounds very unpleasant. You can seek dental school in Copenhagen or Aarhus. Now I do not know which of those closest to you, but you may be examined free of charge. You pay of course with your time. But I think you should have it checked as soon as possible.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
Dentist Joan Olsen

Do not drink coffee for 4 days after surgery?
18th December 2009
Filed of the mouth
Question:
Is it true that one should not drink coffee or black tea for 4 days after wisdom tooth was removed?
ira
Answer:
Dear Ira,
It's not something I know about. Only two days after surgery, you should stay away from anything that is hot, be it food and drink. The heat gets namely your blood vessels to dilate, resulting in increased risk of wound starts to bleed again. Also, you must stay calm after an operation, not to start bleeding.
Hope you can use my answer.

Huge hole after wisdom tooth removal
25th November 2009
Filed of the mouth
Question:
Hello
I've just been to the dental school in Copenhagen where I had removed the lower wisdom tooth due to inflammation. I got my stitches removed 4 days ago and have not seen the scale before now that I was very shocked that there was a huge hole. It is so deep that I would argue that by could easily get stuck into the hole. Is this normal? The hole is not only a depression but a real hole, as if the tooth has just been removed.
Greetings Mia
Answer:
Dear Mia,
Yes it is normal. It will eventually disappear altogether, in that the gums and the bone heals. But there has certainly been a lack of communication from your processor's side since you are better informed of the progress. But you're always welcome to apply again at dental school, if there are any problems.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
Dentist Joan Olsen

Removal of wisdom close bihulen
First July 2009
Filed in Teeth
Question:
Hey.
I am going to the dentist on Thursday, and have (among others) removed the last wisdom tooth. It is filled with holes. My dentist says it sits close to bihulen ... I suffer from dental phobia - and already have a stomach ache. It sounds really scary!
Is there some HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - as my dentist will not / have told me ...?? Possibly. not to make me more scared??
MVH Marianne
Answer:
Dear Marianne
No, there are no specific risks associated with removing a tooth close to bihulen. It is important that the dentist takes precautions whatever level is. In some cases he is getting a hole in the lining of bihulen if the tooth is so close. But it's not something that is dangerous. And when you get among other things, some precautions you should follow after a tooth extraction, and so it grows well together again. It's certainly not something you should be afraid of.
Hope that my answer calms you a little.
Sincerely
Dentist Joan Olsen
