Post Tooth Extraction Recovery

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I had a tooth pulled on Thursday morning. After the freezing wore off, I felt no pain at all (even when eating solid foods), but it just feels so weird. How long does it take to get used to the feel of a crater in your jaw where a tooth used to be against the side of your face?

I had two tooth extractions due to very heavy decay. The most recent being 6 months ago. They heal after around a Month, and now I dont even know theres two teeth missing.
Thank You to Mr Shah for doing this pain free Surgery on two occasions.

Took me about a month. This was 15 years ago. Still get food stuck in the crater though and that's annoying.

Just to assist the healing proccess its best to swig your Mouth with warm salt water few times a day. I also used Difflam which is a strong Mouthwash .
