ahhhh all 4 of mine were impacted. No big deal, enjoy the buzz

Smoke through your nose for the first 2 days if ya gotta have it. In all 4 of mine, taken out in 3 trips, the most pain I felt was the IV from getting both bottom ones removed. All in all I experienced less than 20 seconds of small pain.

If I could handle it you can

oh wow.. that blows.. I thought if you made it past about 20-25 the wisdoms wouldn't be a problem.. so much for that theory:(

I'm going to have "If you can read this, you're obviously trying to ram your liberal agenda down my throat again" on my wisdom teeth.

Crap!

My dad had one of those in his early thirties. It was absolutely horrific. He was in the chair for hours. Near the end the destist was swearing and had his knee on my dad's chest so he could get more leverage as he hauled and hauled on my dad's tooth. It must been quite a show because the other dentists and the hygenists all spent there breaks in the door watching the spectacle. There was blood everywhere. Now my old man is old school. A very tough man, but let me tell you, he was wiped out for a good week, totally flat on his back. He's said he never felt more pain in his entire life.

Anyway good luck.

Novacaine, a needle, and a pair of pliers. Then some stitching, some gauze and a lot of rinsing. Took out 4 wisdom teeth in the same operation this way. People die from gas anesthesia, you know. I'd rather watch my teeth come out than never wake up again. The procedure was actually kind of interesting to watch, in a detached scientific sort of way.

this is what I had done june 1, 2001 . Enjoy the buzz and do like the doc says. If you're lucky you'll have skin back in the holes in 6 months. Mine were bad and the holes are still filling up w/ skin. That's the worst part. No pain at all cept fer the IV which I didn't mind 2 seconds later lol!

He should have come to America and seen a real dentist instead of a dust mask wearing Canadian veterinarian

The joys of government health care ....
