My Go-To Sleep Tricks After Wisdom Teeth

Getting my wisdom teeth out was rough—sleeping that first night felt impossible. But after some trial and error, I found a few tricks that actually worked: 💡 Take your pain meds before the numbness wears off. Trust me, don’t wait until you’re hurting! ✅ Ditch the gauze before bed (choking hazard!) and keep a cool drink nearby—no straws, though. 🔔 Prop yourself up with pillows. Sleeping at an angle keeps swelling down and throbbing to a minimum. ⚠️ Keep your room cool and dark, and play some chill music (I like jazz or classical) to distract from the pain. If you’re in the same boat, hang in there—these little tweaks made a huge difference for me. #WisdomTeethRecovery #SleepTips #DentalSurgery #Health #Wellness
