You're being too vague. How much blood are we talking here? Didn't you get a few stitches?
Weak saline rinse usually helps. Look it up, I think it's something along the lines of 1/4 tsp. salt to a pint of water. |

Do NOT rinse your mouth until 24 hrs after the surgery…

6-8 weeks is the right answer when you take them out yourself.

That's true. You could die, and it's a painful way to go.
They warned me not to smoke, too. I made it as far as the parking lot. Massive amounts of codeine will help quell any fears you may have concerning the dreaded "dry socket." Right now its just a little blood not alot Oh, OK. You're just being a pussy, then. We're here to give you the attention you need. |

WRONG. I took the codeine and still got the dry socket. CURE for the dry socket? MORE CODEINE.

I got a dry socket too after I had my wisdom teeth out. I was really careful too.
It was hell until I went back and he stuffed that medicinal gauze down deep in the dry socket hole. Horrible memory there. |

I think you'll live. Some people are bleeders.

I didn't bleed much.
Getting your wisdom teeth taken out isn't that bad, at least it wasn't for me. I just had to get the top two pulled out and they put me to sleep. |

Nitrous oxide and a valium IV drip.
I was literally sad when it was over. |

A bag of frozen peas. By the way, frozen peas are great for fabricating time capsules.
