The drool always (several extractions including wisdom) faded for me once the numbing wore off and I took the gauze out to sleep (you should not sleep with gauze in your mouth).
You can google about this or ask your dentist if it persists more than a night or so.
I don't know. I have never slept again since.
It has been nine years.
A towel on the pillow? Im serious, you might just have to push through it
You should be on meds and your body should take care of the sleep issue on its own.
How long has this been going on? If it was just one night then hopefully it fixes itself.
If it’s several nights then call your dentist.
Its my second day so hopefully it does go away like the pain did
Could smoke some weed. Maybe the cotton mouth will cancel out the drooling.
Edit: only joking of course!
Do not smoke when there are large wounds in your mouth trying to heal!
Yes probably not the best advice. Edited so it’s clear it’s only a joke.
I was gonna say, ever heard of "dry socket"? Honestly though, when I had my wisdom teeth pulled I was still smoking cigarettes and I'd just put wet gauze in the back over the holes and do it anyway. I got lucky I guess and got away with it.
