Do you eat with gauze in your mouth after wisdom teeth extraction? Can you eat while you're still bleeding?!
Question: Do you eat with gauze in your mouth after wisdom teeth extraction.? Can you eat while you're still bleeding.?
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed today. All 4 were impacted. The doctor didn't give me any stitches and I'm still bleeding after 6hrs (the surgery was at 1pm and lasted 20mins). My question is am I supposed to eat w/ the gauze in my mouth.? Can you eat while it's still bleeding.? I'm so frustrated and so tired of all of this bleeding crap. I know it's normal but GOD.

Don't eat with the gauze in. You should be biting down on the gauze until you stop bleeding, then try very soft foods. Maybe drink some milk for now to fill you up a little.Health Question & Answer
DONT RINSE OUT. DONT EAT WITH GAUZE . YOU SHOULD APPLY PRESSURE ON THE GAUZE AFTER THE EXTRACTION. IN ORDER FOR THE BLEEDING TO STOP IT HAS TO CLOT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE CLOTS FORMING OR ELSE YOU WILL SUFFER FROM DRY SOCKET. IT IS VERY PAINFULL.Health Question & Answer
