Ugh, Wisdom teeth.

Had mine pulled out yesterday, and it absolutely kills.

Who else had em' pulled out, or is going to?

Mine were yanked out a few years ago. I heard horror stories from all of my friends and family, so I was totally prepared for this horribly painful experience.

I'm not saying it was enjoyable, but it was no big deal. I had a little pain in my jaw just because it was pryed open all that time while they were working. After a few hours, I was just fine. I went to work the next morning.

Wow, lucky, I wish it went away that fast. My mouth will hardly open, and it's so swollen

I had my bottom 2 extracted about 3 years ago. Wasn't that terrible. Doc shot my gums with novicaine and proceeded to drill away. Good times. And the percocet was fairly enjoyable. Just do what the docs say and don't smoke or drink out of a straw. Dry sockets are not fun.

All 4 the same day, and had my "nubs" where my caps were (two upper front teeth, broke 'em in half when I was a kid...long story) were re-shaped and re-cast for new caps.

No fun, no fun at all, not one bit.

However, it wasn't really painful either...just exceptionally uncomfortable and I didn't want to do anything or go anywhere for about 3 days afterward....just lie on the couch and sleep...

I also had a strange urge for ice cream with watermelon in it...

 

[Jiggybass]

Hahaha, I have that same urge, lol.

and yea, I hardly want to eat, but I've been downing some chicken broth all morning, just so that I don't get hungry and weak

Dipping bread in the chicken broth is a nice twist if you want something that'll stick to your ribs a lil bit more...

True, that I may try later on, I'm pretty stuffed, I drank at least a litre of that stuff, but I will definatly try that in a few hours, thanks

 

[louieeadg]

No worries, just chew it with the roof of your mouth and your tongue.

 

[Figjam]

Mine are still in my mouth, being annoying.

 

[Jiggybass]

True, I can do that, lol.

And Figjam, that's what made me get them out too, the were pretty painful, and the bottom ones were far too deep, and under my other teeth, pushing the roots out

Get them out as soon as possible, they just suddenly get worse one day, and it's unpleasant.

I had mine pulled out back in June. All of my family was like "you will hurt so bad". I had them numb me up, so I got like 12 shots in the mouth which wasn't pleasent at all. It was over before I knew it, my entire bottom lip and chin were completely numb, which was the worst of all. I didn't hurt at all, the second day I forgot, and I was eating hard foods. The doctor told me the younger I was, the less it will hurt, I was 13 so I guess they were right. The bleeding was only for the first day, which is really annoying.

 

[erochelle77]

I still have all mine and room to spare. Hopefully I won't have any problems with them.

 

[Herrlster]

My top right one is growing in as we speak. I have a check up for my braces in 2 weeks so I'll tell them about it then.

 

[PrimusNut]

I have none. None showed up on X-rays done at the dentist.. Guess I'm lucky, eh?

 

[BassManPatsFan]

Mine are probably coming out at the end of this school year. I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Vince S.]

I'm going to have to get my bottom ones out, since they are growing in sideways on the x-ray.

For those who had it done, did you go under general anesthesia, local (novacaine only), or laughing gas/other sedative?

 

[IconBasser]

I Was supposed to get mine out last january.. and I still havn't done it.

NOT looking forward to this experience...

 

[middy]

Mine were all the way in, but putting pressure on my other teeth. Since they weren't impacted it wasn't such a big deal. I was eating normally by the end of the next day It felt great getting rid of them.
