canine exposure surgery
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:37 am
hey guys.
I just had my impacted canine tooth exposed on tuesday. I do feel worse today than i did yesterday or the day of the procedure, but ah well. I was just wondering:
am i supposed to actually try to eat or stick to the liquid diet?
I'm so scared of food getting stuck in the hole and getting infected (that happened to my sister when she had her wisdom teeth out). Seeing as that i have heart problems infections in my mouth really aren't a good idea (i'm taking anti-biotics right now). So what did you guys do? They didn't tell me that i should try to flush out the hole or anything (they told me to not mess with it at all because it could mess with the clot).
I think i feel worse though due to lack of energy and not being able to eat anything solid or even partially filling since tuesday. I am too leary of soft foods like cottage cheese. Basically anything with any solid mass freaks me out.
ha i'm sorry i must seem like the whinest person on this forum.
