any help would be appreciated!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
yikes. no, the swelling actually won't even be noticeable until the morning after the procedure. if the exam is minor, can you speak to your professor and ask to take a make-up.? if it's very important, i would suggest you postpone the surgery. i had mine out friday and the next morning all i wanted to do was lay on the couch with my eyes closed. between the discomfort and the haze you'll be in because of pain medication, the last thing you'll want to do is get up, dressed, and out to take an exam.Health Question & Answer

No it doesn't go down that quickly. I have all four removed at the same time. It took me about a week for the swelling to completely go down. Make sure you do all the after care the dentist tells you or else you will develop dry sockets (Very painful) I never got them but I did everything he told me to. After they will tell you to move water around in your mouth salt water but not hard like don't swish it super hard and No spitting you just let it fall out of your mouth (gross i know) also they do give you pain killers be careful sometimes they can make your tummy hurt so be sure to eat something with them and drink plenty of water.Health Question & Answer

Everyone is different. I was out for two days when I got mine removed, but I got mine out during the summer, so I wasn't rushing to get back to anything. That said, I doubt I would have been able to take an exam the next day. However, I had a friend who had his out the same summer as me, and he was back and doing stuff the same night. If you have a big mouth, then maybe you could do it. If you have a small mouth, then you probably won't want to take the exam on Friday.Health Question & Answer

I had to have five taken out too. It was a miserable experience. Honestly, I'm not sure if you'll feel up to doing the exam the next day. You're going to be really sore and sleepy.

If I were you, I would inform your teacher of the situation and see if they can give you a makeup. That way if you're are feeling up to it you can still take the exam, but won't be penalized if you don't.Health Question & Answer

Make sure they pack them. I got an infection called dry socket because food gets down in the hole. You feel pain down your neck and chest if you are getting an infection. It takes a few days to feel better.
Take it easy and keep your mouth clean.Health Question & Answer
