I don't know what to do. I am crying so hard right now.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out on Friday and it seems like my parents don't even care. It's been three days and I am still having heavy bleeding. My mom called the dr and he said that if it presists into the next day (tomorrow) to call him. Well eventaully it stopped. I was able to go all day without pain or gause.

Well now it's back. It's bleeding heavily (at least what i consider heavy) and when I tried to talk to my mom about it, she yelled at me and told me it was fine which made me yell at her and caused it to bleed even worse. I asked her for my pain medicine and she said, "you just took some. go to bed" and walked out leaving me in my room with gause stuck in my mouth bleeding even worse.

I looked online and it said don't get "exicted" or "angered" because it can induce bleeding and after the fight with my mom it's bleeding really badly and she went to bed slamming her door shut

and i have been rude today and i have been short-tempered but the dr said it's a side effect of the medicine. My dad's been yelling at me all day saying i have a "bad attitude" and now what with my mom and all i'm just at my breaking point. I don't know what to do right now! i'm in so much pain and i can't cry because if i cry i know it will induce bleeding!!!

I don't know what you read online, but getting excited and angered don't make you bleed. HOWEVER, you need to calm down and try to get some rest. Things will look better in the morning.
I had ALL my wisdom teeth removed at the same time and I only took Tylenol. I think you are not reacting well to the pain meds. See if you do better with Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen.
Good luck and best wishes.

Bleeding and oozing is inevitable and should be expected to last up to three days (although by day three it should be less noticeable). Rinsing out one's mouth during this period is counter-productive, as the bleeding stops when the blood forms clots at the extraction sites, and rinsing out the mouth will most likely dislodge the clots. The end result will be a delay in healing time and a prolonged period of bleeding. However, after about 24 hours post-surgery, it is best to rinse with lukewarm saltwater to promote healing. This should be done every 2 hours until the swelling goes down and every 4-6 hours after that for at least a week. Gauze pads should be placed at the extraction sites, and then should be bitten down on with firm and even pressure. This will help to stop the bleeding, but should not be overdone as it is possible to irritate the extraction sites and prolong the bleeding. The bleeding should decrease gradually and noticeably upon changing the gauze. If the bleeding lasts for more than a day without decreasing despite having followed the surgeon's directions, the surgeon should be contacted as soon as possible. This is not supposed to happen under normal circumstances and signals that a serious problem is present. A wet tea bag can replace the gauze pads. Tannic acid contained in tea can help reduce the bleeding.

hey ma - i know that you feel like you are being treated unfair but listen....
1.) Pain meds thin blood - which will make you bleed worse. Even though you don't want to hear it - mom is right.

2.) you have been out all day which really you should not have BECAUSE you just got your wisdom teeth pulled... When I was in the military they made me stay on bed rest for at least two days and the military is the world's worst work sucking creatures that there is... You need to be easy with your body after traumas - i.e. teeth pulling...

and do know that most of the time when children are in pain the parents are in pain too. So even though it may not seem like mom cares - she is trying to maintain - seeing our babies cry is not a top 10 thing...

I don't know you - but i can feel the fear and intensity in your question - be easy.... get more gauze and pack it in... fight it out tonight and if by tomorrow it isn't any better - call the dentist YOURSELF and that way you are 100% clear on the intensity of your situation...

i wish you well sweety..

One of the hardest things for a parent to handle is seeing their children in pain. While it doesn't justify them being short with you, it makes your mom's behavior a little more understandable. We all get stressed out when people we love are hurt or in pain and we don't always handle it well. But right now, it's not about your parents. If you need to, call your doctor yourself so you don't have to deal with your parents. You'll get the information yourself and it'll be more reassuring to hear from the doctor with your own ears. Also, spend some time alone. If your parents are stressing you out and it's affecting your health, then take a break. Go in your room, listen to some music, read a magazine and relax. You deserve it for all the trouble this operation has caused you. Also, calling a friend and having them just come over to talk to or watch a movie with is a good distraction. I hope this helps.

You probably have dry sockets. This usually occurs when the clot (scab that is inside the socket where the teeth were removed) falls out. The best thing to do is to rinse with warm salt water, and take some Tylenol (if not allergic). Taking pain meds for more than a couple of days can cause you to be moody which may be why your mother is short with you right now. If the bleeding persists call your dentist back.

You need to calm yourself down, tell yourself it's going to be fine, take some deep breaths and go to sleep. It will get better unless you start fights with your parents, get upset and make it worse on yourself. Your parents do not want you taking too much pain medication, neither will your doctor. After three days you should be able to make it without them. Also, being irritable might be a side effect of the medication but starting arguments with your parents is not, you are in control of your actions more than the medication is. Focus on what you can do more than what you can't.

Ok, you are worried and angry - you have a lot of stuff going on in your life. I am guessing that your folks are worried but don't know what to to, and they are just wishing the problem would go away so they are snapping at you.

Just try creating a calm mental image - take a deep breath, then a few more, then close your eyes - picture yourself walking barefoot on a warm beach, walking into the water, feeling and hearing the waves, and try to feel every detail in your mental picture. Don't let anything else come into your head but the picture, and let the water wash away any other thought. Good luck - deep breath - relax - hang in there!

Take it easy... Make sure that you have enough gauze in your mouth to soak the blood. Take a deep breath and go to bed and sleep for a few hours. Wake up and smile and then go apologize to your parents and then if it's still bleeding ask your mom to make you an appointment to the doctor.

aww trust me i kno how you feel. I had my wisdom teeth out too and i kno how it feels to have gauze stuffed in your mouth while you are drooling and bleeding all over the place. Your mom really should be more understanding. But if shes not gonna help you out then you jut need to relax and try not to cause more bleeding. Try to ignore your parents nagging you because its just gonna stress you out. They really obviously dont kno how it feels or else they woulddnt be saying that. Im sure your mom cares about you she just doesnt understand. You'll be alright thoo. Just relax and try to go to sleep. That will solve the problem.
