Having 2 teeth pulled out tomorrow - any advice?
Should I stock up on softer foods and what should I definitely not eat?
Soup and rice are good but you should only need them for a couple of days. Ask if you can wear your headphones for the procedure, it doesn't really hurt but the noises are awful so its nice to drown them out.

Eat before you go. You won't want to eat for quite a while afterwards. Also, stock up on some painkillers. The bruising afterwards can be quite painful.
I will eat now then lol my appointment is at 2

If your gums are numbed I personally do not recommend eating extremely cold foods. Thank you for your help! This was 4 months ago, so hopefully they are ok now!

I have had to have out baby teeth because they would not come out on their own...eek. I needed my adult teeth through for my brace, so now I have a slight lack of trust when I go to my appointments now (just kidding! They are lovely, even if she did ask for those teeth out
). Did you have local or injections? It's great you didn't have any pain!

. I just had numbing cream and then 4 injections (each side of the tooth on the top and bottom). IKR, I'm hoping the same dentist can do the other 2 because he was so good that he got the first one out without me realising he'd started I honestly thought he was just poking around checking what to do and then the next minute he had a tooth in his hand 😂

Sounds like a mafia punishment.
They must’ve given you some powerful sedatives.

They must have!
Honestly, in my opinion, the worst bit was the numbing wearing off - it made my mouth feel really achy and weird which I didn't like whatsoever. I think I was very very lucky, I've heard that other people have had much worse experiences than me with teeth being pulled out.. I'm really hoping the other two are the same

I think the standard is a drug called 'midazolam' or some such which makes you rather dreamy. Almost a pity its not like in the US where they pump you full of hydrocodone
Codeine being a seriously *****y alternative!Original post by Anonymous
