Okay guys, it's been a month and a half since my wisdom teeth extraction and I thought it was important for me to provide an update at this point.

Ok guys, I've done it. I've had my wisdom teeth extracted. Happened on Friday.

All was ok, until Sunday when I started getting massive swelling on the left side and also started bleeding again. I kept using ice packs and kept taking advil and percocet for pain.

Then I started getting this really ...

Thanks for sharing your experience, Hali.

I need some advice from you, since you're the expert on wisdom teeth and their complications.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth extracted next Friday. I want to get your feedback on the following:

Captain,

Could you give an example of a typical day's diet?

I'm also currently on a low-carb diet, but I do eat bread 2-3 times a day, as well as potatoes 2-3 times a week.

I've tried going on no-carb diets a couple times before, but I stop b/c I end up losing a lot of weight very easily.

How ...

I do it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for 20 minutes. I'm not doing it as a miracle cure that's going to give results overnight. I'm looking at it as more of a long-term thing. Sesame oil and other oils have healing properties which will manifest themselves only if used consistently ...

Thanks for the advice Hali.

I really don't have any bad smell coming from the teeth/gums.

I was a bit turned off by how the dentist approached the issue though. Last time I went to get my teeth checked out, the dentist I saw told me about the extra fillings I needed and said she would consult ...

I visited the dentist again today. Got more fillings. He looked at my x-rays again and starting talking about extracting my wisdom teeth. I have 2 impacted ones on the left side. They are not causing me any problems right now. I'm pretty sure they are not playing any role in my condition. If I do ...

I use sesame oil. I think sesame oil is better for this purpose.

First thing in the morning on an empty stomach is best from what I've read. Do it for at least 10 minutes, but 15 to 20 minutes is obviously even better. Try not to swallow as you're swishing the oil in your mouth. If you do swallow ...

Anyone ever try oil pulling?

I've deen doing it for a couple days. I do see a difference. The taste in my mouth is much better, my tongue is pinker. This could be b/c of other factors as well though. I have been using black seed for a few days and also staying away from junk food and sugars, except ...

I will be having an endoscopy done in a couple of weeks. The doctor said she will test for H. pylori.

Hang in there man. Have you tried some of the things people have mentioned on this forum such as Searcing's water pik method? You have to try to see what's the most likely cause of your condition.
