Managing Wisdom Tooth Pain and Potential Complications

Get well fast. Weekend will be difficult, when anesthesia wears out.

This was it. I just got the tooth removed (30 minutes ago). A horrible experience, I almost fainted three times: the first time because of both anesthesias, the second time because of the sounds and sensation of the tooth during the dentist forced to extract it and another time while leaving because I thought about the huge place I now have in my mouth.
According to the dentist I should eat ice creams and "eat" only liquids for today.
I kept the tooth in case I need money: selling the ivory.

They didn't put you to sleep? They just numbed you? That's terrible. Make sure you don't get dry socket.

Thanks :)
I was also scared about this, I asked the dentist and told me to take ibuprofen in case it hurts.
Now I need to buy some ice cream but I still lose blood. Too bad I'm not in Poland in winter, I'd have picked some snow to do the job.

She told me that the better for me now is to eat some ice cream. When I was leaving I told her secretary I wasn't feeling good and that I needed to sit on the chairs, which I did. After 5 minutes I left and I'm here now. I got rid of the bandage I had in the mouth, but it's still bleeding.
What is dry socket by the way?
She told me to put a lot of pillows in case I wanted to sleep.

It will hurt, no doubt about it :(

Ok. I already have a bad headache! Last time ibuprofen killed almost totally the pain, I think it will work well.

I'll take it when the anesthesia leaves.
By the way, Borek, do you know what a dry socket means? In Evo's post I mean.

She didn't give you an instruction sheet on how to prevent dry socket?

Thanks for the info. She told me not to shell out so that the blood clot forms. No, she didn't say a word on this. In wikipedia it's stated that it's much less common for upper wisdom teeth (mine was the upper left).
I still have the anesthesias effect and an increasing headache (now I remember, each time I have an anesthesia I have an headache after it).
