Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hello I posted last night, no responses. I have to have the rest of my molar tooth pulled tommorrow, it fractured in half Friday night on a steak and cheese sub! I haven't had a tooth pulled since baby teeth! Do I need to be on an antiobiotic? Will they put in stitches? I'm not a tooth nurse, I haven't been through this before. I 'm more scared of the dentist than all the surgeries on my joints! Anyone with EDS had a tooth pulled before? And how they felt afterwards? Thankyou, S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 , Only thing that hasn't been said, is that if you don't get a stitch or two (up to the Dentist), you will be given some wadding (gauze) to fold up and put over the whole in your jaw. Apply a small bit of pressure to stop the bleeding, and then you will get a blood clot in the hole which is what you want. If you smoke, only do so with the gauze in place over the hole, 'cause if you suck out the blood clot you end up with 'DRY SOCKET'. You won't like that experience very much if it happens....Ouch!!. Don't worry, like Mike said, The tooth has roots, but no nerves....you won't feel a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 is right, , and also, don't suck through a straw, as the same thing can happen. Use a spoon for the first few hours, at least. Love Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't like that experience very much if it happens....Ouch!!. ----------- And that has to be the biggest understatement I have seen posted since I joined the list. I have had the distinct displeasure of going through that twice. The second episode only confirmed that the utter misery the first time was not a fluke. I can't say exactly where they rank, but these two episodes are someplace on my lifetime, top ten, list of things I never want to do again.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Thank you , I really appreciate your and Mike's replies! It makes me feel better! I just won't smoke. I don't know what dry socket is, I've heard it is bad, but still don't know what it is. I gues if I have a 10 of pain that's it. Thanks so much! S.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Thanks Bonnie I will remember that plus I printed it out if I don't. Thanks for caring! Keep working on the SSD issue and get all documentation from you Dr's. Love, S. Re: My tooth broke, any suugesstions with extractions and EDS? The other thing if you bleed too much, put a moist tea bag on the tooth area! It stops the bleeding!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 - unless you have mitral valve prolapse, you don't need to be on antibiotics. The only problem is getting numb. Cindy Henemann's daughter trained as a dental hygenist and found out that the dentist needs to put the pain killer interligamentous to numb the area. I've had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled at age 17/18. The bottom ones were super impacted and I only had problems from the swelling (chipmunk cheeks) and from the pain killers... The top ones weren't impacted and just popped out. Only problem from the pain killers again. I got sick on both of the pain killers. Is it an upper tooth or lower tooth? Bonnie PS Good luck! My tooth broke, any suugesstions with extractions and EDS?
