VLOG: My Full Wisdom Teeth Removal Experience & 23 recovery tips 

My full wisdom teeth vlog & 23 tips to survive / heal quickly 💀✨🦷 If you enjoyed our time together, if you could please help me by: 1. Subscribing if you haven’t already 2. Smashing the like button on this video 👍 3. Watching the video all the way through Thank you for being here :)

I had 2 wisdom tooth 🦷 🦷 removed today and I went under IV sedation, I knocked out so fast, dont remember anything. Im a highly/extreme anxious person. If I did, so can you!!! God is with us! I couldn’t sleep last night because of the fear but its not worthy. Say a prayer, trust in God and enjoy your nap!

Lovely video😀🙌🏼🤗 I leave the tips if you want copy and paste on your notes: 1. aquaphor on lips 2. towel on pillow 3. change gauze every 20-30 min (until bleeding stops) 4. no spitting for a week 5. ask the office for a syringe 6. get lots of rest 7. ibuprofen 600-800 + antibiotics 8. drink a lot of protein for recovery + fuel 9. ice 20 min on, 20 min off 10. with a SOFT toothbrush 11. take lots of vitamins & minerals 12. probiotics to help gut (esp. when taking antibiotics) 13. make sure to find ways to add fiber 14. high speed blender is our bff (vitamix) 15. high protein + high calorie smoothies 16. nutritional yeast is a complete protein + vitamin / minerals 17. pain is temporary :) still enjoy life 18. collagen to aid recovery 19. it's okay to bring your own food 20. pour smoothies to-go 21. must eat everything lukewarm (7 days to be safe) 22. avoid grain for 2 weeks 23. no exercise until you feel ready (i can't run yet but can move around)

The biggest thing I wish I took into consideration was the recovery. I spent all of my time being so nervous with the procedure, and the next week wishing I had made better plans like this. If you’re getting yours done soon, seriously do not be scared of the procedure, it will literally feel like 5 seconds.. plan about your recovery!

I just went through my wisdom teeth removal this past October (last month) and it didn't even cross my mind to come back here and relay my experience (because it honestly wasn't half as bad as I was expecting). My top two were pointed diagonally backwards, and my bottoms were growing in horizontally toward the front. They were erupted, but I was still considered "high risk" for nerve damage given how much they had grown in. My oral surgeon was fantastic, and I had all four out in about 30 minutes. If you have the option to be knocked out, go for it. Its so calming, and you wake up as if nothing happened. The gauze comes out usually in the first 6 hours, as long as bleeding has subsided (which it usually does without concern). The only tough part about recovery is ensuring you eat the proper foods to not get stuck in the holes lol. If you follow the steps given to you by your oral surgeon, you'll be back to business as usual in a week. As far as pain is concerned, see if your doctor can prescribe you a strong anti-inflammatory to be taken 30 minutes before your procedure. Additionally, the meds they give you after are decent. Pain-wise you wont be in any sort of life-altering discomfort. You'll have a little jaw tenderness, and should have minimal swelling if you follow the anti-inflammatory schedule. TL;DR - It's gonna be fine. Honestly, get it over with and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. I put it off for 15 years then finally got it done. Once theyre out, you dont need to go through it again.

Girl you are so lucky to have that man helping you and there for you! That's true love right there! 🖤

Thank you so much for making this video and sharing, Maya ♡ I really appreciate the tips and your raw and honest experience. May you recover quickly!

Your husband takes such great care of you 🥹🥰❤️ Much love for you, Maya!!

So encouraged to see this! Super nervous to get mine out in a few days. Def hard to slow down and put life on pause. Also love your little cross tat and commitment to faith!!

My experience so far - hope this helps anyone getting their wisdom out Day 1- just before the torture-Eat a big meal before surgery as if your on death row. Mine was extracted by local aesthetic. Lots of tugging and a grown man ripping my cheek apart! (Literally) took around 30mins to extract 1 tooth. No pain during surgery- just VERY uncomfortable and felt a ton of pressure. Kids, if you never taken drugs well now is your time to shine! I took pain killers an hour after surgery as pre caution and took pain killers every 4 hours. The bleeding didn’t stop for 6 hours after surgery so went back to the dentist, they checked it and said it’s nothing to worry about. REMEMBER to use a WET gauze for 30mins & then leave the gauze out and see if it clots on its own. Worked a treat for me On tonight’s delicious menu: soup cooled down, water, yogurt. - force yourself to shove some baby like food down! Later that evening I had sore throat and face started to swell like a balloon. Used ice on cheeks. The bleeding went down during the night on its own. No beauty sleep, I slept upright, which was very uncomfortable. Buy a travel neck pillow! Day 2- Prepare to look like Quagmire or as if you had botched jaw filler! Sore throat but no pain. Got a fever, used wet cold towel on my head throughout the day. Nasty blood taste in mouth but no active bleeding.. Fine wine and dine: porridge, rice pudding, ice cream, soup and sipped on lots of water throughout the day. Been taking pain killers every 6 hours through out the day. I managed to brush some of my pearly whites very carefully, Avoiding the site of extraction . (This made me feel better) Beauty sleep was better than the night before but still uncomfortable & kept waking up. Slight pain 4/10 at night. Day 3 - Wednesday - still rocking the botched jaw filler look. throat is very sore, voice is gone, blocked nose, headache. Think I got a cold. Fever has gone down. Nasty taste in mouth. Done salt and water rinse (check on RU-vid how to). Meal of choice: soft foods, drank the whole ocean, cold matcha tea. VERY IMPORTANT-salt rinse after each meal- and after brushing Only taken 2 pain killers. Pain level is like when you bite into your cheek. Day 4- woohoo, survived the worst-treat yourself to a lush spa in your shower and wash those greasy locks! blotched jaw filler still intact. Still got a cold and slight cough. I Used Vicks in hot water and breathed in the steam to clear the mucus. Slept like a baby- but now got bad neck pains (due to sleeping upright) On tonight’s menu: Wonderful soup, mash, lots of water, and tub of ice cream! Now in rehab & taken no pain killers. Still brushing my teeth like a 1 year old. Challenged myself and even tried a bit of flossing, jaw hurts so can’t open mouth that wide For day 9 onwards (or when you start eating solid foods) - buy a irrigatoring syringe (eBay, Amazon) you will need to use this for the next month onwards to clean and flush out food particles that get stuck in your wisdom hole

Watching this while preparing for my wisdom tooth extraction. I'm having the coronectomy to avoid nerve damage on the bottom teeth. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I finally got 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and opted for the anesthesia. I just kick myself because I found out the person I was SUPPOSED to trust to drive me home and be there for the surgery stole money off of my debit card while I was under getting surgery! I am hurt emotionally over this incident and physically because well getting ur wisdom teeth removed is painful. I am happy I got to see what a NORMAL recovery is supposed to be for this. I spent the day stressing going to the bank and police department to fill out reports. I had to live through your experience just to feel a little bit better and not cry 🥺. Thank you.

Getting mine taken out on Friday! Y’all pray for me 😭

Thanks for sharing your experience! Really enjoyed watching ❣

Just wanted to say thank you for this video! I watched it the night before my extraction and it helped calm my nerves.

Watching this channel has been my turning point🤍

i just had my two bottom wisdom teeth extracted (as they were growing horizontally) & your video truly helped me out during recovery 😭

This was a joy to watch! I just got my wisdom teeth out this morning. Thanks for all the meal ideas! God bless!

You barely swelled! I'm so jealous! I love that you showed all of your meals. When I got mine out in September, I survived on smoothies, applesauce and cottagecheese. Healing wasn't too bad at home, but once I had to return to college, it was annoying not being able to eat what others ate and having to constantly flush my holes.

I’m so thankful for this video! Really enjoyed watching your experience. Getting all 4 of mine out soon and being completely knocked out, pretty scared but your video helped💜.

❤❤❤ maya is adorable! 💋 I had my wisdom tooth removed yesterday and I didn’t feel pain but I did felt the discomfort. My jaw is still sore but thank god I got it done! And out the way! ❤

Thank you for being the only one that told me drink with gauze! THANK YOU!!

Hi i really love you I'm watching u for more than a year and u really helped me from waking up at 12 pm to 6 or 4 am and be productuve thank you ur really special funny person may god bless you.

Oh dang, I remember having this done, I hope your healing process is quick and painless! When I had mine done, Jell-o in every flavor was all I could eat. Highly recommend!

Found your video on my 7th day after extraction. I've had 2 teeth extracted on 18/09/23. My lower left impacted wisdom tooth (3rd molar) has affecfed the front tooth (2nd molar). Local anaesthesia injected 3 or 4 times. The process took around 1 hour and a half. I'm glad that I didn't get a swollen face afterwards despite the fact 2 tooth extracted within short time apart. Just that the thread used makes me gag and gum feel unbearably tingling. Ice pack helps a lot to ease the pain. Only eat soft bun with less to no topping or filling, plain soup (filter any seeds or pieces), porridge, mashed potato and smoothies. Was given Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. I can't wait to get the stiches remove soon.

Yay Finally im soo early 😩 Love your videos they are just soo calming and motivating🤍🍃 Your videos motivates me the most 😭✋

Thanks for sharing! Puppy is adorable❤

Your recovery food/supplements is the vibe

Hi Maya! I went for my wisdom tooth surgery last week. Just wanna say thank you for this video as it helped me a lot in my preparation! Your progress log is very helpful.

Maya I really like your all videos 🐾

Love you Maya ❣️❣️

This was a really helpful video for me, I watched it right before I got 3 of my wisdom teeth out and post operation I've been referring back to it a lot! I hope that she makes an update video on how the rest of her healing went and how that nerve damage is coming along :) fortunately I didn't get any nerve damage, in fact my surgeon left my 4th tooth where it was because he wanted to avoid that (the tooth is also not erupted so it's not causing as much of an issue as the other ones were). I had been fearful of this operation since I was a teen and found out I'd need to get it done someday, and put it off until I was 26. However, I think it was perfect timing and after getting through the stress of getting it done the procedure was quick and easy and the anesthesia had me wake up in a happy mood rather than being traumatized!!! My past self would be so relieved to know I am doing great :)

Your husband is so caring 🥺❤️

hope you're fine & Hope you feel better maya lee

It’s really not bad. Today was my first day and I got them out this morning. I took two Valium as prescribed before the procedure and was totally calm and chill. They got me in and out very quickly. No hiccups, no pain, I was under IV anesthetic and felt nothing except vaguely remember the nova sine shots but not really remembering then doing it just a gentle poke. I had no issues. Wish me luck in recovery!

I got mine out on Thursday and the one thing that I didn’t expect was throwing up twice and all the saliva the second and third days. Pro tip the first 48 hours are the most important, protein drinks and lots of water. I am on day four and I am wanting to get back to my normal eating habits. But can’t drink coffee for another 4 days so enjoy the foods you love while you can before surgery.

Just had upper and lower left wisdom teeth pulled they were both broken for a long time. This dentist numbed me up waited 5 minutes and had them both out in 11 minutes. Guy is a beast. Thanks again Dr zhang

Heheee waiting for this vlog coz of the mini stories 🤭 Hope you have recovered by now ☺️ 사랑해요🫰🏻💓

Officially got my date for 2 weeks from today and I’m terrified!!! Having a coronectomy on my bottom two, but this video brings me peace.

I know you did not see me getting them taken out but your literally in and out of there in so fast, the steps go: 1. Laughing gas; 2-3 mins 2. IV; 30 seconds 3. Medicine through IV;1 m 4 . You sleep and surgery gets done. Anywhere from 10-60 mins depending what one’s and how many are coming out. Don’t be scared!! 💗

Hi Maya! Did you regain feeling from the nerve damage yet? Hope you’re better 😇

I just got all four taken out today and I'm going to be living by this video 😭 I'm so hungry already and as someone who loves to indulge, I'm happy you have some good recipes I can follow, they look delicious.

It's always interesting for me to see how most people seem to have such an experience. When I removed my wisdom teeth I only got local anesthesia, I never felt any pain, had no swelling whatsoever and no recovery time. I ate solid fight right after the surgery XD

This video was unexpected but still wholesome and educational! I have a question: do you have any tips on how to maintain a more consistent sleep schedule? I usually sleep at 12pm on a weekday and 2am on weekends but I find the transition getting back to sleeping at 12pm on weekdays so hard 🥲 I think it's mostly my fault for binging Netflix or reading till late on the weekends but any tips on how to make yourself sleep at a more consistent time everyday?

have my surgery tomorrow,, really nervous!! thank you for the tips!

I'm amazed how you can talk right after surgery! I got mine taken out yesterday and still cant talk or open my mouth 😭😅

Got mine pulled yesterday and RU-vid is so prompt to recommend me this 😂

Rewatching this video because I just got all 4 of mine pulled yesterday! It went really well, and only one tooth was impacted thankfully. I had local anesthesia and the numbness went away pretty quickly on the left side of my mouth, but the right side took around 12ish hours to get feeling back on the same side as my impacted tooth. Thanks for such an in-depth video, it’s really helped me feel better about the whole process ❤

I got mine out on Friday, my left jaw was numb until Saturday night, but I was also cramping at the same time and my cramps hurt more than my face. What took me by surprise surprise was how much my sinuses hurt. I made congee the night before and was so glad i did.

Thanks for this video 🫂

I have bad anxiety and I just did all 4 with local anesthetic. It was an experience for sure but I did it!

I got mine out on July 13, 2020 during the pandemic, after getting all healed up I was now in a better mood.

The light anesthesia did a lot better than I thought. I felt the pressure and very little discomfort.

I just got mine taken out yesterday. 😩 Warm salty water is life!

Day 4 of my wisdom teeth removal recovery! And nothing bad yet 😊

omg you sound like stephanie soo i love it

Feel better ❤

Just discovered your video. I had 1 wisdom, a molar removal and bone graphs placed for implants. I had laughing gas. And honey, that pain is real afterwards like you said. For the remaining wisdom teeth, I think I will need IV sedation. Laughing gas and lidocaine wasn't quite enough. I still felt some some pain as the wisdom tooth was being removed 😳. Maybe the lidocaine didn't quite numb me as deep as it should have.

I get all four of mine out next week Tuesday!! I'm so ready for it! My husband is going to buy me Ice Cream and all the stuff I'll be allowed to eat!!

Getting mine out Wednesday 10am all 4 at once can’t wait to feel what it’s like to have no pain anymore.

I just got my wisdom teeth out today 😭 do you semi- rinse after every meal? I'm so scared of getting dry socket

Watching before I get mine pulled

Thank you so so so much Maya for sharing this experience with us and I love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 500K Subscribers very very soon!☺️💫❤️

I got mine out yesterday and i am sooo swollen but hopefully it heals fast!

I’m getting my wisdom teeth tomorrow and it will be my first surgery I don’t know what to expect I’m a lil and excited scared

I just got my pulled out earlier today and I'm sorry recovering and found your random video thanks for all the advice I'm glad I found your video.😊❤️👍🏻 Also your boyfriend is so nice that he is taking care of you.😊

For me i looked like a chipmunk i had all four removed in surgery because mine were impacted but it wasn't as scary as i thought and it went by so fast and the nurses and doctors were so sweet

Glad I stumbled upon this video, I have to do this soon for my wisdom teeth and I'm really scared 😭 Considering listening to bts while I knock out now xD

Getting mine out Thursday 🥲

I didn’t know u didn’t have to rise thank god I’ve only rinsed ONCE. Now I know better tysm ✨

I had my bottom ones taken out in 2014 with only local anesthesia they were impacted and infected they hurt like hell. Lots of swelling. Had the remaining two taken out recently while on local anesthesia definitely not as bad this time around because both were erupted. I could eat right after getting them extracted. Opt out on sedation because it's expensive and the last time I got it for a different surgery it took me way too long to recover from so I was like nope lol. Really glad the pain was tolerable this time around sorry yours seem a lot more painful in comparison.

The process is incredible there, the time I took out mine, it was with local anesthesia. They took a big needle to pinch my gums like 7 times!! You're awake all the process. The anesthesia it's not that efficient so you still feel some pain while the extraction. Third world country here

your eyeliner looks good

Got mine removed one week ago. Recovery has been horrible. Still feeling the pain in my jaws, trouble opening the mouth. Can manage without painkillers now, but the discomforting pain is always there. Hopefully it gets better in next few days.

Omg god I’m so nervous to get mines out😭 I have four double trouble lol while watching ur video I’m writing down notes LMAOOO great video!

My dentist told me today that I have to get all of mine out eventually, so here I am.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I really liked your video. I need to have mine removed soon. Did your nerve damage resolve? If so how long did it take?

Ugh I got all of mine removed in January and had to spend 2 weeks out from work for it. I got dry socket in one and it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I hope you’re healing well ❤

Loved you talking about bts high asf😂 thatll be me soon

Going tomorrow morning, you make it look easy hoping I won’t be in too much pain after

it’s been 2 days and i’m DYING

Just took all 4 wisdom teeth out today. Want to see when I should be good to brush teeth by

Any update on your nerve damage situation? Video was so helpful!

Getting mine out this Friday wish me luck 😅

I have 1 that has suddenly started hurting in my mid 30s🙄😒soo afraid to have it removed let alone all of them 😱🫣 I cry when i get my teeth cleaned!!!

I just had all 4 of mine removed a few days ago. I went under anesthesia, and took pain medicine as soon as I got home before the medicine wore off. I have yet to feel any pain.

I’m glad you have a good husband to take care of you through this

@mayaleex3 where did you get your "not asking for feedback" sweatshirt? so cute! I am recovering from wisdom tooth surgery right now! I'm Gluten and dairy free so I appreciated all the things you ate :)

Thank you for this video.

Going tomorrow at 8:00 AM. 😅 Today- Saturday, May 13, at 12:31 PM.

I’m really not brave enough to get them all out at once😂the first one I got pulled out like 1 year and half ago, this second one I’m scheduled for this week! Got to do it eventually’🙏plz pray for me as I’m still nervous

Not to scare anyone but I’m on day one got my wisdom teeth pulled about 14 hours ago, I can’t sleep, pain is throbbing through my whole face, super nauseous to the point where I can’t talk or even look at anything.

I have two wisdom teeth and a broken tooth I need removed out all on the bottom. I had a cavity took out like 4 years ago because one of the wisdom teeth was pressing against the cavity and it hurt like hell. But I totally forgot about this process of getting teeth removed 😔 so I’m going to have to go through this all over again 3x’s as painful 😖. Dental pain is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

Just got mine out yesterday so far everything’s been good but I think it also helped that they were just able to yank. They didn’t have to cut into the gum or anything like that

i just got my wisdom teeth out and i have no help with recovery, please someone help what am i supposed to do 😭😭😭😭

Its great that you did it so well..

Had two wisdom teeth pulled today and my OOP was $292 but I don’t care. I’m just happy that they are gone.

i'm getting mine removed next week! where did you get your face ice pack from??

Hope you feel better Maya, dreading getting my wisdom teeth out next week. Was it fast to fall asleep at the dentist im terrified of that part?

I had all 4 of mine out last Friday and it took me just 5 days for me to fully recover and i am almost back to eating pizzas again!!!
