So I just got a tooth pulled out today

[Izzy]

I had a problem when I had my wisdom teeth removed. It might have been a dry socket, but I went in to have it cleaned and they sprayed some kind of anesthetic on it and just started going at it with a knife and it was not numb at all. Painful as hell just digging around in my gums with a knife.

That might be some incentive to clean it properly...

I am getting a tooth pulled next Wednesday and my tooth looks a lot worse than yours did. This is going to sound fun......

if you have pain like i did when you bite down on it or apply any real pressure, you might wanna find someone sooner. i was scheduled to go tomorrow to get it removed, but after going through this crap, not sleeping and all that and ended up at the hospital, i walked in and told them dr. said to go today and they squeezed me in.

Two on the top, two on bot. Face was blown up like a balloon. Couldn't lay in any position because it just hurt so badly. I kept taking the pain meds they gave me, went through the whole prescription the first night lol.

tl;dr feel better dude

Sucking is bad too after getting a tooth pulled. It messes with the healing process, has the blood started clotting yet?
also, the dentist may have told you not to. But you [b]HAVE[/b/ to was out with salt water every now and then so infection doesn't spread.

Dry socket is hell.

When I got my wisdom teeth pull I had all 4 yanked out at the same time. I smoked and got dry sockets and Oh god the agony I was in, i got my dentist to prescribe me Oxycodone because of the unbearable.

wasnt' allowed to suck through a straw either.

You my friend, Had dry sockets. They sprayed it and cut it out of your mouth with a small scalpel like tool
did they put a extremely bitter piece of cloth in your mouth after?

When I was 9 one of my teeth was the same way except on the top row of where your was. It started hurting like crazy when I was in Poland so I had to wait until I got back home so it was pretty bad for a week or two.

When I got back home and went to the dentists they gave a couple of those numbing shots and tried to yank it out, but I was able to feel the pain. Do you know what it's like to have a tooth pulled out that doesn't want to come out and you can still feel it? I don't want to relive it haha, but I've still got that tooth right beside me.

Oh and this was all my first time at the dentists ^_^ g8 first experience.

bleeding has already stopped luckily, used most of my gauze up. I catch myself sticking my tongue though the gap cus it feels weird lol. Paper my dentist gave me told me to avoid rinsing for 24 hr, but after that, rinse with salt water 3-4 times a day for a week. Got oxycodone, which is basically percocets, and mas do they make you feel good.

its actually not bad

[EnR]

I had a tooth become completely black and it was so rotted that when they pulled it out it shattered in my mouth and broke into a bunch of pieces. This was when I was ~13. I also never had wisdom teeth, it's pretty sweet. I went to the dentist for a clean/check up before moving out of town for college and she said I just don't have any.

You did what I did.
Careful when you prod down there with your tongue though, I pretty much have a small hole in my mouth now because of that. It's not big enough for stuff to fall down it anymore though.


Also since you got the entire tooth pulled nad it wasn't broken into pieces.
You won't have to deal with ripping shards of lost teeth in your gums.


I had to do that with tweezers and I can tell you it didn't feel good at all.

Once I had it out, I was looking at it and actually chipped a piece off with my nail. It was close, the dentistsaid it might have crumbled

[FontSize72LOL]

When i got braces in highschool i had 8 teeth pulled at once. I ended up getting dry socket in 4 places. It was ****ing awful, It is probably the worst pain I've ever been in and I've broken bones, bit through my lip, and have gotten stabbed before.
