I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out at once.   It has been only two days ago so I am still in some pain and I even bleed once in a while if I am not careful about what I am eating.  I would like to know how long will it take for the gums to heal?

I just had my Wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and I am still bleeding a little.   I hate the taste of blood and it is making me ill.  Is there any way to stop the bleeding all together?  The gauze is not helping me much at all.  I am in pain and not feeling well and just want at least the bleeding to stop.   Please offer me some good advise.

My dad and a back molar tooth pulled.  Really he what was left of the tooth pulled out since there was no way of saving the tooth.  He can not get a bridge until he heals completely.  His problem is that he says he is still bleeding hour after having the tooth stub pulled.

I have one tooth in the back where it had some decay on it and I brok a part of it a few days back.  I do not have dental insurance but I did go to a dentist and was told that i should pull it and get a bridge or implant.  Both would cost me more money then what I have.   I was hoping just to save the tooth.

So I will be having four baby teeth pulled on Monday.  I am very nervous about having this dental work done.  I am an Adult of 22 years of age but had four baby teeth that never came out.  Which made the adult teeth come in all crooked.   My parents could not afford to do much with regards to having my teeth taken care of.  The only thing they could afford was the cleanings twice a year.  I was very lucky never to get any cavities.

So I have an Impacted wisdom tooth in the bottom right back of my mouth.  Although I have dental insurance they will not cover having my wisdom tooth removed until February of next year.  This tooth is starting to hurt me now and I do not think that I can put it off until February to get it removed.   The other part of the problem is I do not think I can afford to have it removed without help from the insurance company paying for most of it. What can I do to get the work done now but make it affordable for me to be able to pay for it .

I know I need my two bottom wisdom teeth removed.   Though right now they are not giving me any issues I was told by a dentist two months ago it is something I should have done.  I also have two missing top teeth that I currently have a bridge for.  I knock my teeth out in a car accident may moon ago.

So I just had two of my wisdom teeth removed.  I was really surprised how well things went.   I was really scared at first not knowing if I would feel anything.  The dentist put me to sleep and it was over before I even knew it.  The pain is not really all that bad at first but I think that was because I was still a little out of it.

The concept  of having to have your wisdom teeth removed is not clear to me.  Do you always have to have them removed?  I just started to have my bottom wisdom teeth come out but they seem fine to me.  They do not hurt me and as far as I can tell are coming out straight.
