Hi there having trouble accessing to my old WhiteBear user name, so had to create a new one!

Anyway, i went to the dentist today and had two extraction ='(

that was around 12pm, and until now my gums are still bleeding mad! The dentist told me to bite into the cotton wool for at least 30mins which i did, i must have taken it out after 45mins, when i took them out.... pouring out with blood, so bit in to a fresh cotton wool, after 30mins i took it out... a quick rinse, it seemed ok.... but after20mins or so, my mouth is full of blood ='(

when will it stop! im really scared now, i have hair dressers appointment in a hours time!!

Phone your dentist or the NHS helpline , doesnt sound right , bleeding should of stopped by now , good luck xx
Bit stubborn isn't it.

My advice:

Ring up and cancel your hair appt.
Put another cotton wool plug in and leave it for another 30-40 mins. Sit down and rest.
How's your bleeding sockets?

ohh i had to go back to the dentist today cos my right side of the face ballooned. My gums were really swollen and still bleeding,i was told that i have an infection and prescribed me some Metronidazole, reading the side effects, i could experience hallucination! lol............
Hallucinations... cool. LOL. Having my wisdom 3 wisdom teeth out at the dentist was great. Got sent back to Uni the dy after, with a face like a chipmunk, and a weeks supply of morphine..i had absolutely NO idea what was going on all week! Fantastic. LOLOLOL..

You should have seen the faces of the people in the waiting room, when they woke me up from the general in the dentists chair, and got me to relocate (walking!!) to the recovery room. Me, all swollen, disorientated, wailing, and a face covered in blood.

Horrified doesnt come close! I think al good reasons why they dont do general anaesthesia at dentist anymore!
