After the oral surgery last Wednesday, I found relief from the pain I feel since the time I have the impacted wisdom tooth in my right jaw. Now all I need to worry is the pain I am feeling the pressure and stitches from the surgery. I am taking the pain medications and I did follow the instructions for faster healing. I am on soft foods diet but sometimes, I got a little taste for some hard foods – just a little, not too much!
Just earlier today, I felt something uncomfortable inside my mouth. Actually, it has been bothering me since the surgery and I wanted to pull it out or cut it so I will feel better. I didn’t know at first that it was a losen or extra thread from the stitches inside. I let it show to my husband what was bothering me and told me not to touch it because it was the stitch inside. How could I ever know it was the stitches inside? I was put to sleep, remember? I attempted to pull it out several times and never said anything about it, until today that it bothers me a lot. It really hurts! I had to put the gauze that my dental assistant provided for me to stop the bleeding. Tomorrow, I may have to call my dentist regarding the stitches so I will be aware of it. And if I will not be a stubborn patient, healing process will be easy.
