I got 1 wisdom tooth and 2 other teeth pulled yesterday at like 3PM. I have stitches but I was wondering how long do you have to wait to be able to start kissing and stuff like that or do you have to wait ?

What is your ability to withstand pain?
How bad would it be to bleed in their mouth?
Good questions all...........

wait at least till the novocaine wears off ... no, seriously ... don't rush into it. my face throbbed when i leaned over to brush my teeth. you have to wait a few days until you can even use a straw so you don't get dry sockets. trust me - you do not want that. wait till the pain pills are done. you can kiss her, but don't get into a heavy 'tonsil-hockey' session until you're healed. if you don't get stitches, you have to be careful not to cause the areas where the teeth were to be dry-socketed. if you do get stitches, too much 'action' could cause the stitches to come loose before they're supposed to. also - another problem with having dental work: bad breath because of the trauma to your mouth. and - omg! - all 4 at once? 2 was bad for me. but - if you get 2 on the same side, then you can eat sooner, bc you can eat on the opposite side. if you have them on opposite sides, then you have to make sure the food goes straight into your mouth and that nothing gets into where your teeth were. and your mouth will be kinda tender, so hot hot will hurt and so will cold cold. you should use sensodyne toothpaste whenever you have dental work done. if you just absolutely cannot go a day without kissing your gf, then talk specifically about it to your dentist before he cuts in or pulls. he will be giving you a list of what to do and not do after your surgery anyway. good luck!

Kissing After Tooth Extraction

A light peck with light puckering might be okay. Depends on how much pain your are or how much bleeding. Open mouth kissing or anything else might have to wait for at least 3 days. Because you don't want to suck out the stitches or the clots. Then you'll be in pain and really won't want to or can kiss. =) Have your love one kiss you instead everywhere else and you take some time off. Good luck!

You can always kiss a peck on the lips, you do not have to really get into it. What did your dentist say? You shouldn't suck through straws, so you shouldn't do anything that would create a suction that would mess your mouth up.
Kisses on the cheeks are fine. You can hug, nothing wrong with hugging. I would wait to use a straw until your mouth is healed. Ask your dentist. Are your stitches going to dissolve? Or do you have to have them taken out? Either way wait until they are gone. No sucking anything for a couple of weeks or until you are healed.

The awfull truth..... your breath might smell a bit. Sometimes the healing process involves a bit of a "pong". It is normal. Give your gums time to heal. Rinse your mouth with lightly salted water. It is a great antiseptic and will help speed up the healing process.

well you might want to wait a day or two because your mouth could hurt after you get your teeth pulled.
right after i got 2 of mine pulled, it hurt to touch the gums around it..so just wait about a day or so!

I'd wait a few days to a week. You don't want extra germs in there! You can get an infection. Plus you should take it easy on your mouth. Your gums need to heal!

I'm guessing until it heals or when the stitches start to dissolve.
