Had no idea something could suck so bad... Not only can I not eat any good food, I barf half of it up due to bleeding and thick saliva! My right cheeck is about the size of a balloon, with the left one not far behind, I look like a chipmunk :rofl I may be absent from AH longer than I thought I would :cry. Until then, I'll be on the forums every now and then. :salute
-
Had mine done about 5 years ago. At least the meds are good. :D
-
My wisdom teeth started coming in late last year. Fortunately they are coming in straight, so I shouldnt have to have them removed.
-
I had an issue with my right one a couple of weeks ago dentist took an xray and it looks like it is growing at a 45 degree angle into the next tooth :uhoh
gave me some meds and said he couldn't do anything with it, luckily they worked and reduced the swelling so it doesnt hurt anymore. :pray
-
That's weird, why couldn't he take em out? One of mine was coming in at about 45 degrees too, but it WAS visible, so that may have made the difference.
Also, if your dentist said he couldnt do anything about it, you may want to talk to an oral surgeon.
-
My surgeon explained to me how they get back there to the teeth. He said you put these little black blocks a inch in size in the very back of your mouth on each side then they close your mouth which makes your jaw dis locate and pop down allowing them to have more room to work.
Awesome right? good thing I was not awake.

geez....

I'm 31 and had mine out around 10 years ago, it was 2 separate procedure's, first one on the bottom left grew in sideways, so they had to cut open my gum and then break it apart to take out piece by piece, after that I said your gonna have to knock me out to do the other 3, so those weren't to bad, I really don't remember if the pain after was bad or not though.
-
Just be glad you didn't have to have them removed in boot camp, trying to sound off with giant rolls of cotton in your mouth, "SR YS SRR!" And maybe some Tylenol if you're lucky.
Mine all came in fine though.
-
Give it about a week and you will be good to go. Maybe even three days.
<S>

heck i had all four taken out at the same time and was skate boarding the next day!
-
I just had my last one took out last year. and i am 33. Took them over a hour to get the dam thing out.
-

I thought you had wisdom teeth put in ??
-
When I got mine out, I woke up on the car seat with my parents driving me home. I did't have one bit of pain throughout my entire healing process, thank God .
LOL It must have been the pain killers they had me jacked up on LOL
opposum

I was to school the next day lol, and playing again, and I had all four out too
-
Oh the humanity there taking our childrens wisdom away ( boy now were screwed lol ) hehe J/K on a lighter side my 16yr old son has been complaining about his, time to make an appointment and see what the doc says
-
Had mine pulled just last year. Was not fun. You'll be feeling pretty lousy for the first 24 hours, and be using a lot of ice for the next few days. It'll feel weird when the stiches finally come out because you get so use to them.
-
guess im lucky. thats what my girlfriend does for a living. Shes a professional tooth thief. I get the low low on anything dental :)
-
I have stitches? lol, nobody told me anything about that! :rofl
-
I had all four taken out in one procedure last year. First day I was woozy from the meds that knocked me out (which explains why I started to date my ex on that day HA!). Next day I was at work, but didn't do much in fear of dry sockets (outside job). I felt fine. The only part that sucked was my mouth wouldn't open wide enough to eat anything actually worth eating lol
-
Yeah I can't even crunch on a saltine... the gap between my teeth is JUST large enough for it to sit there safe and untouched...
-
I had all four removed and went on every roller coaster at Cedar Point the next day. Lower Molars were drilled out too.

Milkshakes. I told Banshee this, IIRC he listened, but probably not. :devil They numb the area and don't put too much stress on the sutures.
-
Sweet! thanks for the info Masher!
-
Dosen't sound too great ruler,hope you get to feeling better.
-
I just remembered why I hate dentists, oral surgeons, and other evil people that work on teeth.
like being tied to the chair while one dressed as an evil clown with blood all over his clothes and wonky out of tune circus music plays over the loudspeaker coming with a concrete drill and giant lockjaw pliers to pull a tooth
:cry

My oral surgeon was a dead ringer for Groucho Marx and had a smoking hot assistant.

I was advised against using a straw to drink as it might draw out the plug in the socket causing dry socket. Other than that milkshakes are good.
Oh and after my last(which I was awake for) I had a cheese burger and a large shake. The drugs they gave me were pretty good too. :aok

Use a spoon. :) Or drink em out of the cup.

I just got mine out a few weeks ago, the holes are still healing closed. I remember getting the IV put in for the anesthetic, and then woke up at home in my bed with a buffet of killer pain pills
-
Well, 40 years old now... Never a cavity or a problem with wisdom teeth... Hope I didn't just jinx myself... :bolt:

You were knocked out for crying out loud?! LOL, Nitrous and Novacaine only here. They carve out your jaw or something Bow? :rofl

When I went into boot camp I was 17 and my wisdom teeth hadn't come in yet. The dentist decided to cut out all 4 at the same time. He was going to use, I kid you not, hypnosis instead of anesthesia. Even tho I was a boot and he was an officer I made it REAL clear this was not going to happen. I was assigned to a different dentist in the clinic that not only used plenty of anesthesia during the procedure, he gave me a huge bottle of straight codeine for the recovery with the instructions to take "as needed".
The next day I had to take a First Aid test. I was so wacked out on the codeine I couldn't understand what I was supposed to do. I screwed up to the point that the instructor threw me out of the class. I spent the remainder of that day confined to barracks. Since passing the test was a requirement, I was going to be washed out and sent home. The next day the Petty Officer that was doing the discharge paperwork asked me just how I managed to screw up so badly on a simple First Aid test, I said maybe it was the pain meds and showed him the pill bottle.
"How many of these did you take?" I told him I couldn't remember but the bottle was more than 1/2 empty. He asked if I had taken any today and I said 2. One before PT and one after chow. He gave me the same First Aid test right then and I aced it. Needless to say, I wasn't washed out but they did take the codeine away from me. :D

I had all four of mine removed ten years ago due to them being horizontally impacted. They knocked me out for it, but it was still a huge amount of pain after it happened.
The real pleasant thing is every so often, the gum will get all irritated and another little sliver of one of the teeth will work it's way out. Good times!
-

Your dentist called. :neener:
-
Im 29
I started getting constant earaches, stiff neck, headaches..
went to the dentist for a regular checkup, they did an x-ray since it had been a year since the last..
4 wisdom teeth, all impacted. all need to go..
NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
I have insurance, but I hear its still kinda expensive.
-
I waited to long so I had to get all 4 done at once. infected impacted and whatever else. They gave me the sleepy needle so that wasn't so bad. I had 2 black eyes for a week. The bill $2,000. I had to pay before I got it done. My insurance covered 250dollars. that hurt more then the surgery
-
That insurance musta been a BIG help there huh? That's pretty sad... Not even meeting you halfway! or even quarterway!

I bet that hurts.
I just asked my wife how much she charges for removing all 4 wisdom teeth (yes, she is a dentist): between $ 110 and $ 330 ...and I guess, that the dentists in Germany are using the same technique and instruments as the dentists in the US.
btw, this is here homepage. She is the one with the white t-shirt

When I got mine out it was done by the dentist using only novacaine. I was able to eat soon after never even took any pain meds and was prescribed none either. I don't remember exactly how much the bill was since my insurance company picked up the majority of it. I even asked my dentist why he didn't recommend an oral surgeon like my previous dentist did and his reason was.....
"I went to school to be a dentist and pulling teeth is part of being a dentist. Why the hell would I hand the work over to someone else when I am perfectly capable of doing it here?"
Now since he did it and I was (especially from the sounds of the experiences here) largely problem free, I will most likely never see another dentist.
-
... it's been over 3 weeks, and my mouth is STILL swollen. I'm getting kinda worried now, I would like to be able to open my mouth as wide as I should be able to. It's still hard to take a bite out of a hamburger for heavens sake!
Not to mention all the crap getting stuck back in the holes and then smelling like crap (literally) that I can't get rid of easily.

Yeah those holes will go away after a few months, but until then yeah your gonna get food stuck in them, thats why you need to brush or at least rinse your mouth out with water after each meal, swish it around in your mouth to get it out.
I don't remember my mouth staying swollen for that long, have you called the dentist & asked him if it's normal?
-
I got mine in a couple of years ago, they never bothered me. Went to the dentist and they said,
"$$$$$$$$ I think we should remove your wisdom teeth."
I responded "Why? They do not hurt, nor do they bother me in any way."
He Said "Well they are pretty much growing in straight, but however they are slightly off...*I stared at him*....and we do not want to have it get infected"
I said "Until then no thanks ;)"

Its attached to your brain, so you may feel stupid for a few days too.

Man, sure sounds like you had a lousy oral surgeon.
How many did you have taken out? It is best to not have all 4 done at once. I didn't. Two at a time was enough for me.
I felt fine the next day each time.

This Ruler2 we are talking.
Maybe we should just call them "Teeth" in his case :neener:
:D
I have had braces bro, that is suffering.

I got all 4 out, partially because my dad had 1 taken out at a time in the navy and he didn't want that to happen to me.This Ruler2 we are talking.

I had braces for 11 months :devil all you gotta do is listen to what the doc says and they'll be off in no time!
-

Ah, no wonder you suffered so much then.
I still feel that doing 2 at a time is the best compromise between discomfort and efficiency. 1 at a time would make way too many visits.
I do admit to being somewhat of a wimp, though. I don't like pain.
