Thread: wisdom teeth removal conforting thought anyone

advice: 1 week after procedure is waaaaaaaaay to early for Red Man (don't ask me how I know)

comfort: You will forget about the pain in a few weeks.

I had the two on my left side extracted by an oral surgeon about four years ago. He was very good. He gave me one of those drugs where you make it to "98" on counting backwards from 100.

I didn't feel a thing until the next day. I highly recommend that you restrict your diet to soups and such (warm, not hot) for the next couple of days. Also, before you start to drink or eat, check your mouth for gauze, because you won't feel it back there.

The best tips I can give you are to have a good friend to drive you there and home afterward, do the post-op cleaning and care dilligently (you do NOT want to get "dry socket") and don't try to write out a check to the surgeon just after you wake up from the anesthetic!

Good luck - you should do just fine.

Still have mine.

From what I've read / been told, the main issue is whether they're normally rooted or not.
A friend of mine had her wisdom teeth growing not 'down' but to the back. Her wisdom teeth grew sideways.
When that happens, they have to be cut in pieces and removed piece by piece.

The males in my family all keep their wisdom teeth until they keel over. No reason to take them out.

Long story short dentist sent me to the oral surg when I was 22,said he looked at the rays and they need to come out,gave me a packet of Valium and some reds,said to come back the next day,I chickend out,took the drugs and chilled for a day.
New dentist a couple yrs later,rays,teeth cleaned,all is good,I have never had a cavity.
Asked him about the wisdom teeth thing,he put up the rays and said,you have none,never did,very common.Think the last dentist and the oral surgeon had a scam going

nice to know pixel i looked at the rays and seen all 4 of mine and the bad molor that hes gonna pop out while hes in there (he actually said i can remove that moral if you want while im in there)

I remember that the surgeon was putting me under and as the stuff took effect the mural on the wall started dancing.

well guys tomorrows the day providing i can still get there, hurrican sandy is susposto go right over top of us central pennsylvains. with any luck i will be able to get there and get it done if not it will just have to be reschduled.

I was Active Duty Military when they removed mine aboard ship, (I had no choice) One of the W.teeth grew into my jawbone. They had to cut my gums, and break my jaw. Jaw Breaking was common in the military for Wisdom teeth removal. I couldn't open my mouth for weeks. Fluids only, and something called "Tylox" for pain. Hopefully, you'll do better than I did...Some are no problem...Other's, well....

I went under for mine. Woke up in the recovery room punching myself in the face singing, "I can't feel a thing....." Pretty funny! I drooled a lot on the way home, but I was up at hunting camp a few days later!
