He really hurt my mouth. The office was rude to me and he slipped taking out the first one and chips went flying everywhere then he said he'd have to shape the bone? Why would he scrape my bones if he didnt mess it up? The girls were laughing his asst. said wait 24 hours to smoke. I left and when I thought this cant be true I went back in asked receptionist to go ask "the DOCTOR" not the girl and she came back and told me 45 minutes. I could hear the other girls laughing in the background. Are they trying to hurt me? I am in severe pain my whole face is hurting the blood don't stop Why did he scrape my bone? Did he make a big error and tried to cover it up by me smokin makin' myself sick so as to cover up his mistake on my bone? What should I do?

Get off the internet and go to an emergency room.

it sounds like you had an immeditae denture placed, the denture needs to stasy in place so the area can clot, do not take aspirin as it is a thinner, you can't smoke or dring from a straw, anything that creates a suction, you will end up with a dry socket and taht is much more painful than having your teeth extracted. It is too bad that you were treated poorly and unprofessional, in reagrds to the extractions , sometiimes the doctor needs to use a handpiece or a bone "shaver" to make sure all of the tooth is removed. If the bleeding has not stopped by now call the office, see if they leave an emergency dental clinic # , or the dentist pager #. IF not go to emergency. Also don't rinse your mouth vigoursly, gentle rinse and let the water fall out your mouth,

Smoking is awful and your lungs become really hard and they eventually stop working...you will die a lot earlier than you would if you didn't smoke. Don't you feel guilty doing that to your family?! You probably can't smoke for awhile (which is why this a great idea to get in a support group, get on the patch...whatever will help you stop smoking!), because your stitches and gums are going to be really painful, and you can make them start bleeding, which will cause even more pain, if you start suckin on a ciggy. Also, I'm pretty sure smoking will make your stitches and incisions heal slower, because smoking doesn't let as much oxygen get to your blood vessels which means slower heal-time. Also, there can be more complications if you smoke. It's up to you, but overall, I'd say that you are making a horrible, stupid mistake if you insist on smoking, even though you can cause short-term damage to your gums, and long-term damage to your entire body. You have been given an opportunity to make the right choice--respect your body and quit for good. It will be tough, but if you have someone supporting your decision, you will soon see the positive effects of not smoking--go for a run! Plus, people that smoke smell awful, so you probably can get a hot date (if you're not married already) if you stop smoking cuz you'll smell nice and clean!! Good luck!

7 teeth removed and they put a denture in the same day? OY! And, no you shouldn't smoke, at all, or use anything, like straws, that create a suction within the mouth. The sockets need time to heal and suction, like with straws and cigarettes will only dislodge forming clots. If you are still bleeding you need to seek medical help immediately. If you do not have a 24-hour dental clinic available, go to the ER. As far as the dentist is concerned, you need to document everything in writing that happened today, and when you get to another dentist or the ER you need to make sure they know what happened as well. Assistants are to support and represent the doctor. They did not do a very good job, and they led you in a particularly harmful direction.
Good Luck!

If you still have blood "pouring out" of your denture, you need help. Get MOVING before it's too late to find anyone!
Okay - it sounds like you had some extractions and an immediate denture placement. If this is true, smoking is no big deal. The denture will protect the extraction sites, so puff away.
It is USUAL to have to trim some bone for immediate denture placement. I can't comment on the reasons why it was needed for YOUR mouth, but it is usually because there are points of boen sticking up between your teeth that are now in the way once ther are no teeth left. It is also to keep from having to make the denture excessively bulky so that it would make a bulge under your lip.
The girls were laughing because they are unprofessional.

That sounds brutal. There should be no reason for that unprofessional behavior Call his after-hours number and report your problems NOW. If need be you can go to the ER and then discuss it with him afterwards. You don't want an infection. You should not be smoking, IMO. Smoking is about the worst thing you can do to your body. You should also build up your immune system with proper nutritions, vitamins and esp. Vitamin C. If you feel you have not been treated properly and he won't remedy it, then report him and find another dentist soon!
Also --- didn't you get a discharge sheet with written instructions? Sounds like a lack of communication on their parts. Also, I'm amazed they shoved dentures in before the swelling has gone down.

If you are still bleeding after tooth extraction, try placing a regular non-herbal teabag over the socket. It should stop the bleeding. If not go to the ER and seek treatment. Are you really sure that the Dentist made a mistake? It is sometimes necessary to smooth or round sharp pieces of bone from the socket to get good seating of the denture. I honestly don't think the dentist did anything out of the ordinary even with the tooth extraction. Are you sure that the fragments that you saw where not pieces of the tooth crumbling?
Also you shouldn't smoke for 48 hours after extractions and his staff sounds a little unprofessional.

It does seem to me that you were abused in some way, but why the concern about smoking? Most likely your smoking was the reason why you had to have 7 teeth removed. I would stop smoking if you don't want this to happen again, you'll only end up having the remainder of your teeth extracted.

i would quit smoking.. but if you dont want to stop, i would try to like hold some cotton balls in your mouth where the bleeding is. replace them every half hour or so.. and be sure to take some pain medicine. just do not overdose.
i would still mostly suggest not to smoke for at least 24 hours after the bleeding has stopped, just in case you could like hit a nerve or something that could cause more pain or blood.

I know it sucks but wait. If you blood clots fast then you shouldn't have a problem. But, you mentioned it still gushing so wait. I smoked when I left the parking lot of the dentist after having 2 removed. Goodluck.

it's extremely important to not smoke for at least 24 hrs following oral surgery. if you do, you will interfer with the healing process by decreasing blood flow to the extraction sites. delayed healing can result in a dry socket, which is extremely painful.
