Not Feeling Well After Extraction Of Wisdom Teeth
I had all four wisdom teeth extracted seven days ago and still feel not quite right in my head (groggy/woozy). Is this normal and how long will it take to feel normal again? I am 29, 5ft 10, 11stone and take fluoxetine 20mg 1x per day

Hi James,
Post-extraction of wisdom tooth is usually associated with complications like-
Fever,headache,nausea,dry socket etc.
Normally 2 weeks time required for complete healing of socket since you had got all the 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time.
Use warm saline and betadine rinse to gargle.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Brush and floss your teeth daily.
Rinse your mouth after every meals.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Take complete rest.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I understand that you underwent impaction surgery. Impaction surgery involves bone trimming so there are associated symptoms like pain and swelling post surgery. Were you apprehensive or tensed about surgery? The feeling of weakness can be because the surgery itself is a little taxing and post surgery you need to be on liquids.If the symptoms persist I advise you to check with your physician

Hello there ,
Thanks for writing your query,
Multiple extraction of wisdom tooth often ends with complications like pain and swelling post extraction .
usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection .
After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must to prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.
i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist , which helps in subsiding the swelling and relives post extraction pain.
follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse.
i hope this helps ,
take care.

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes, it is normal.
Extraction of wisdom teeth is often associated with post complications like fever ,nausea and vomiting.
After extraction , the healing process starts and there is increased salivation due to which you may feel nausea and vomiting.
Due to reduced apetite and low intake of diet you may feel hyperacidity and vomiting . Fever can be reactionary symptoms or sometimes infection of the extraction socket may lead to pain and fever.
Continue with the course of antibiotic and analgesics prescribed to you along with paracetamol .
If the symptoms do not subside in 3 to 5 days you need to consult your dentist
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.

hello,
dont worry, generally 7-10 days are needed for proper healing after wisdom tooth extraction. Just try to maintain good oral hygiene and things will be better in a day or two... if the problem persists than arrange for a visit to ur dentist for a followup!

hello james,
dont worry about the swelling if wound is healing properly. swelling is always expected after extraction of wisdom tooth since little bone may be cut off while extraction. your woozy feel in your head may be probably due to fluoxetine, it is an antidepressent. if wound is healing progressively dont worry you will be alright soon. and about flouxetine, it has many adverse side effects please consult your physician and follow that drug on his prescription alone. take care.
