Question about wisdom teeth extraction?

I am getting 3 impacted wisdom teeth taken out in a few days.


I am 17 years old and on oral contraceptives.


I will be under a general anesthetic and completely knocked out.





How long will it take for the swelling to go down?


What should I expect?|||i agrree with abbee dont mix antibiotics with oral contreceptives the hormones in the tablet dosent go well and u should be fine|||Probably a week and you will feel normal again...maybe sooner but expect a week|||hello;





I don't think you should worry about the swelling and pain. If you follow the post instructions right you will be in good shape. It also depends if those wisdom teeth will be extracted surgically. surgical extraction will involve more swelling and maybe some pain. on the other hand normal extraction should not be an issue. bottom line, follow the instructions very well, take your medications right away. DON"T take antibiotics with your oral contraceptives because there are studies that decreases the effectiveness of the oral contraceptives with antibiotics. ask your dentist and be aware of this issue. you will be ok with medications and post op instruction . good luck , i hope you feel better|||im 17 but i dont have to get them taken out yet, i dont know what oral contraceptives are but what does it do for ur teeth? dont worry my friend got his taken out and he missed a day of school, then was fine
