They hurt. Lortabs are not working as well as I hoped. I can't even open my mouth enough to really eat a lot of food. Any ideas guys?

Applesauce is what got me through it. Some people say gnawing on teabags can help ease the pain. Honestly, though, there's not much you can do for a while besides grin and bare it.

Yea. I've eaten a ton of apple sauce, and anything liquid for that matter. I'm just in a little bit of pain and wanted to complain.

Buy some raki.



Pour it on a piece of cotton.

Place the raki'ed cotton on whereever it hurts.

It's the ultimate "Turkish way of handling hurting teeth".

Vicodin.

that's what they put me on when I had one taken out recently. Didn't help the pain but lord did I feel great

Actually, I had a crown put on about 3 weeks ago, now the tooth is dying and hurting like a mofo so they have to do a root canal to save it within the next few days. I may need to follow some of the advice in this thread myself.....

Lortabs??????? What a chick painkiller......

See, this is the kind of thing you have to get squared away with your dentist or doctor BEFORE a procedure.

You have to explain your low pain tolerance and clear need for 10 mg Vicodin.

Put bags of frozen peas on the sides of your mouth. They're cold so they'll reduce swelling and they're small and spherical so they'll better hug the sides of your face.

But yeah, massive +1 to Vicodin/hydrocodone. Just don't booze while you're on it, as it has acetaminophen mixed with it.

I'm on 7.5 mg. For my knee though, I was taking two 10s at a time. Man did I feel good.

The swelling is bad though. I look like a chipmunk. First one is not swelled, second on.... well you can figure it out.

the only thing helped with my pain was marijuana. Vicodin did nothing.

the teabag thing is only good to chew on if you happen to pull a clot. Because it's so absorbent, it stems the bleeding and allows another clot to form. You'll know it if this happens, as you'll be curled into a ball about to black out due to the pain.

I remember when I had mine out. I took sleeping pills and slept through a majority of the post procedure pain.

F*ck!

My evil dentist wants to pull my two bottom wisdom teeth.

Why?
There only slightly impacted, I never have any pain.
He says they don't have room to grow, but are they realy gonna keep growing? I am 32.

The only problem is there is a cavity in one of them.
Why can't I just get it filled? Seriously?

get them out. The pain and suffering from having them removed 'aint nothing compared to what you might feel if they get abscessed and whatnot. Plus they and your molars and even parts of your jawbone may start to be reabsorbed if you were to let it go long enough. Just get 'er done and enjoy the hell out of your vicodin.

I was hoping you would confirm my dentist is evil.
How come some people don't need to remove them?

I had my bottom two removed at 32 as well, just get it done; you'll be happy you did. Although the teeth themselves probably stopped growing when you were in your late teens or early twentys...so don't believe the evil dentist who tells you they're still growing.

Mine started to really hurts so I had my two top ones yanked when I was 29. Ate jello, cheap scotch and some narcotic whose name eludes me.

Follow the doctors orders and if you feel way to much pain, call him and tell him.

Agreed and agreed. I got all four extracted (two of them were impacted) back in July and these, along with chocolate pudding as well, were what got me through it. Really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...had local anesthetic, and everything was done in about an hour.

Chocolate burns as of right now, unless it is in ice cream form. I'm having my girl bring me some later tonight
