Hopefully you don't get a 'dry socket' (no,not THAT type of dry socket) during your healing process, that, my friend, is no fun at all.

I hope this is reassuring to all of you.

Had the first two done by a dentist. Three hours in the chair, and big time pain for the next week. (Did manage to quit smoking though.)

Next two were done by an oral surgeon. Fifteen minutes and no sweat.

Sounds like you've got the right plan, Udie. GL!

Udie,

One other thing. Be leary of any drug that will make you nauseous. The LAST thing you want to do after this surgery is vomit

Buhdman, out

Hehehe, tech school in the Air Force was in Chanute back in the late 70's. They must of had a dentist training school there also because if you even hinted of having a bad wisdom tooth they would yank them suckers out. I bet 15% of my flight had theirs yanked. It was so funny walking around the base and looking at all the people with their head swollen up like a beaver.

I tell ya one thing back then going to a "trainee" dentist from the Air Force was no fun at all. I went for a filling one time and I thought I was going to gag to death because I couldn't spit. The kangaroo doctor was to busy flirting with his 19 year old nurse and trying to look up her dress. What a nightmare... but I guess you get what ya pay for

Had 4 wisdom teeth removed at same time. Two were fully impacted by having turned so the top was facing the front of my mouth. The upper ones hadn't erupted yet and the dentist went poking up in my sinus cavities for them. I was fully out of it for the surgery. Thank God for Tylenol 3's. Two of them at a time kept me pain free.

Udie, good luck. Use plenty of salt water to rinse your mouth and do it frequently. Follow ALL of the doc's instructions as you do NOT want to have him go back in there!

If you are playing in a day or so. Let me know. I could use an easy kill!!!

Who would be a dentist?

Udie · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2001, 06:34:00 PM »

All's well so far

Just got up at home from a nice nap. Still bleeding like a stuck pig from the right hole, but the left one looks like it's clotted

I'm still REAL groggy from the Dimeral

but I haven't felt much pain yet so I'm happy

gawd dont scare me, ive got mine to be pulled out in a month or 2.. and I know that 1 of them (top right) seems to have "flipped" and has gone UPWARDS into the bone than downwards

They'd better put me under.. completely. I aint gonna stay several hours with someone hammering my teeth

SOB · « **Reply #25 on:** June 01, 2001, 07:53:00 PM »

Just had mine checked out a couple of months ago. My dentist said the lower two are coming in nicely and shouldn't need to be pulled, and the upper two never even developed!

Tac,

One of the nice things about being a cop and visiting the dentist was the ability to say: We aren't going to hurt each other, are we??

Once he sent in a sweet young thing he hired as a hygienist to try and get my gun. I told her she could have the knife but I was keeping the gun! We got along just fine <evil grin>

I had all 4 of mine done at the same time, and it was done under a general anaesthetic because they were really badly placed. I was on Egg Nog for the best part of a week.

I had FIVE teeth pulled at once. the 4 wisdom and 3rd top tooth on the left was impacted, so they yanked it out too. Sucked having the stitches on the roof of my mouth, but that wasn't the worst. I actually either totally didn't respond to the anti-swelling medicine or was allergic to it, because I fully close my jaw for 4 days, THAT sucked royally!! I still maintain to this day that the best meal I ever had was the grilled cheese sandwich after I was finally able to chew again! I was 15 when I had mine done.

Oh yeah, about 10 hrs after getting home, I started puking for about 3-4 hrs straight!

Anyways, it's been a few days since you've had yours done, so how ya holding up??? My friend got his down about 4 hours ago, hope he's doing ok! hehe
