Drooling after wisdom tooth extraction: how sleep?

Post by dh37 » Fri Jan 03, 2025 5:51 pm

I've been using a cpap machine for some years now. If I don't use it, I don't sleep well and feel horrible the next day.

This afternoon I had a wisdom tooth pulled. I can handle the pain, but I'm drooling like crazy.

Any suggestions for how I might deal with this when I try to use my cpap tonight?

I use a full face mask.

Drool away. Plan a good mask cleaning in the morning.
