There was no special instructions for after care.

So I was sick for a few days and it is either that or worry.

Any thoughts??

About the getting sick part i think might be kinda normal. My kid gets sick almost every time he he looses a tooth. When i asked my dentist about it he said that it was most likely because of the bacteria in the gums and under the tooth being released when the tooth comes out.

Status: offline 		I had a tooth pulled yesterday. 5 needles and 100% laughing gas. When I got over the ginormous anxiety/panic attack I thought to ask what I needed to do:

a) don't rinse (DUH!!!)
b) take advil as necesarry (no pain I was told, yeah right i thought, wow very little pain as reality....who'da thunk???)

Just before office closing i had the bright idea to find out more:
1) gauze could be taken out (shoulda been told "yanked", much better fit to the situation)
2) no drinking through straws because...k, still don't know why but stopped
3) no smoking....like that's gonna happen, so i cut back

Now I've got less than no energy, all I want to do is sleep and not think about anything. Which I've managed to do so far today. And I'll do that until I feel better. For now, I deal with the exhausted part of me that only wants to sleep. I take advil to take away the bit of pain. And I don't spend too much time thinking. Even doing that leaves me weary.

You ROCK.  Thanks to you and all who replied.

I dont think I rinsed enough.  Today tho I rinsed with baking soda and water.  I did not need any pain pills.

She called it novacain.  I chatted with my neighbor.  She says she gets antibiotices prior to work done.  Wow.

Not to mention the possibility to bust stitch(es) - which I learned the hard way.  Then again I was trying to suck chicken noodle soup through a crazy straw at the time.

As to using a straw, I was told you can easily suck out the blood clot that forms in the cavity. Without the clot, a dry socket can develop

Status: offline 		using a straw is a no-no because it creates suction in the mouth and can disturb the clot over the hole - which if disturbed won't heal over - and voila! - a dry socket! If you have tonsils out you are given the same instructions for the same reason.

The probable reason the neighbour gets antibiotics before dental work is mitral valve prolapse, since dental work can cause a shower of bacteria in the blood, leading (possibly) to bacterial endocarditis. Very bad juju!

Sorry Hunky, you're probably outta luck.  This was back in the '70s, dentists generally don't give Percodan anymore.
