Today I had my first tooth extraction

Now I will try to mylot because I want to divert my attention. The dentist put a gauze pad in my mouth. I have to keep the gauze pad for 2 hours. I had severe nausea because of that pad. I think I would vomit. It's so unpleasant. But the extraction was fine, it lasted one minute or two. I have to divert my mind for 2 hours. Now it's only one hour left. If you had extractions did you have nausea because of the gauze pad?

I have only extracted 2 wise teeth and I didn't feel nausea. Take care of you.

Could you keep the pad for 2 hours?

@nela13 One hour is still much time for me. But it's ok. Nothing happened to you.

Whenever you feel nauseated rotate your toes clockwise and then anto clockwise. Keep doing this for a while and then nausea will.soon subside.

@dya80dya I hope this helps. Why are you undergoing so many extractions?

@amitkokiladitya I have tooth decay. And now my teeth are ruined by this. I lost them. It's hard to accept that I lost my teeth.

I removed the pad after a only half hour and I was fine. I could not stand to keep the pad for so long.

Me neither. I was about to vomit. I didn't know that it would be so hard to keep the pad.
