Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

Whatever you are planning on doing tomorrow will probably not be enjoyable. You won't be able to talk or eat very well and your mouth might be throbbing.

The surgery itself is nothing because it will be numb. I guess that depends on if you do local or full anesthetics or not. It will be numb either way, but with full anesthetics you will just wake up at home or something.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I hope not, because if they did it would cram your teeth and things would get ugly.

Oh, lol, so my teeth aren't even supposed to be in? Oh heh

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

They're only removed when there's complications.

Having my wisdom tooth pulled out was one of the most painful experiences of my life. The tooth must not have been ready to be pulled out, because they gave me local anesthetics, and the pain was so strong that I went blind and deaf for a couple of seconds.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I just had it...it's not bad at all...just stay on your painkillers and the next while will just fly by ;D

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I had mine pulled at 16. dentist said it would be easier since the roots havent began to grow yet so he just made a small incision or however you spell it and just slided the wisdom teeth out. recovery was very short and pretty much painless.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I don't know what would be worse.. The pulling and painkillers or the slow, painful pushing and tearing that i'm suffering right now.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

LOL. Idk why but that very last part made laugh so hard.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I'm going to have to get my lone wisdom tooth removed soon, it's starting to come in.

The experience can vary but just make sure to keep your **** clean afterwards. My sister didn't and it healed over food and got infected and they had to cut it back open.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

Get them taken out as soon as a dentist says they should and you have coverage.

Mine all grew in fine with no pain or complications, and I thought I dodged a bullet, and now, out of school, out from under my parents' medical plan, and having not qualified for benefits from my work yet, one of them got infected and needed pulling.

So step one was 100 dollars to get a dentist to spend 2 minutes going "Yup, need to pull that out" plus prescription antibiotics to kill the infection and painkillers to tide me over until the procedure. Then I had to pay another 175 dollars to get the tooth pulled out, plus missing 3 days of work, one for the appointment, one for the second appointment I had to make the next day because it still hadn't stopped bleeding yet, and then another day after that before the soreness and throbbing went away (I work in a callcenter, so it was pretty necessary)

All told, to get one tooth pulled out now cost me probably 600 dollars in money spent, and money not gained from missed work. So if they'll do it now while you've got coverage, get on that noise!

:S I don't like dentists >__>
Hearing all you guys talking about this stuff is making me feel weird.. .lol

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I was 15 when i got mine pulled. A few months ago.

I swear to god Im not lying, I really enjoyed it, the laughing gas is so good xP

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

Oh god the laughing gas...It's heaven. Everything is hilarious. Also to whoever said painkillers are bad...what's wrong with you. I enjoyed my week of spacing out in my basement rolling my face along my keyboard.

Re: I'm about to get my wisdom teeth out..

I think within the hour I was under the gas, I envisioned my self in multiple video games and MMO's.

I want to buy a tank of that stuff...
