Just Got The Teeth Pulled...

just got my wisdom teeth pulled. still bleeding 4 hours later. anyone else have this happen? they told me it might not even bleed, but it's been i believe actually more than 4 hours since i got them removed and it's still somewhat bloody in my mouth.
got 20 5/500 vics and prescribed dexamethasone. my mouth fucking hurts and i took 1 of the dexamethasone and 2 of the vics about 3 hours ago. how many vicodin usually work to get rid of the pain in your experience? should i ask the doctor for something stronger tomorrow?
thanks.

I feel your pain, try and get the DR. to give you a script for Demerol, I had mine cut out a few years back, and everything went well. But follow the instructions he gave you so you dont get a "dry socket", or you really will know what pain really is.

meh... demerol sucks imo. id rather have the vicodin...the best thing youll get from a dentist for pulled teeth is percocets, so maybe you can get some of those if the pain is really bad.
i had 3 compacted wisdom teeth.. 1 of them was so tight it actually cracked one of my molars.. now that was some pain... i also got dry socket cause i was being dumb and smoking a few days after the surgery.... but i justified the smoking of weed, cause then i didnt have to take as many pills at one time .... i was young and dumb then though.. i got my wisdom in at like 15 and got them pulled at 16 , it was crazy... i definately wouldnt smoke now though if i had to do it again

I had a bunch of wisdom teeth pulled, they bled for almost a full day afterwards. When I slept that night, I bled so much I woke up to my pillows covered in it .
I also got dry sockets, which I hope you dont have to endure, because it fucking HURTS. Don't spit, don't drink through a straw, or do anything that could cause the clot in the hole where your teeth were to dislodge...
I was prescribed percs when I got mine pulled, because I'm already prescribed vics for my back. The doctor wound up having to refill my prescrition like 4 or 5 times because i have such a high tolerance to pain pills that I was taking 4 or 5 of them at a time and still not feeling anything.
I hope your recovery is a quick one.

you should try to gargle some salt water in your mouth that is suppose to help it heal and prevent infection

why do they generally pull wisdom teeth in the first place?

most of the time when they come in the fuck up the rest of your teeth. especially if them come in sideways.
i had mine pulled a few years back, no pain at all. for the first night i kept icepacks around my cheeks, so no swelling either. dont quite what i was perscribed...good shit though.

Take some tylenols and crush them up and dissolve the powder in a glass of warm water. Take two strips of paper towell, fold them up and soak them in the solution and then put them in your mouth over the holes. Trust me, this shit works

huh?
p.s I took hits of rock through my nose the day I got my wisdom teeth out like a dumbass. Also I took a few clears of a bong by inhaling really lightly. No dry sockets, but definately not one of my brightest moments.
I'm under the impression that it's the change in pressure in your mouth caused by the act of smoking that causes dry sockets, not the actual smoke. Can anyone verify?

5mg vics?
you got robbed, man
when I had my wisdom teeth out, I demanded percodan, and the doctor gave me close to fifty of them. I told him I had a high tolerance for opiates and he just smiled and wrote the scrip.

how much grapefuit juice and how many hours do i drink it before consuming the vic?
the weird thing is the doctors told me that after the surgery i'd pretty much be a zombie and in bed most of the day from all the drugs in me, but...i coulda ran a mile if i wanted to. felt sober, normal, maybe even a little energy. didn't even get to sleep until 12 30 AM. what the fuck?

well i was in the chair and they prepared for the IV sedation and shot me up. i started asking the doc what i was given and talked about how i didn't recieve nitrous and why he doesn't use nitrous anymore. the next thing i know i wake up and i say "what? done?" i get up feel all weird and then basically return to normal within 10 min. felt fine all day, cept my mouth just aches. no excruciating pain or anything. vicodin suck though.

I had my wisdom teeth out about 5 years ago, wasn't bad at all, they had a little trouble finding a vain, which was a little annoying. They gave me laughing gas though before they knocked me out. Once they did, I was right out, and it was over in what felt like seconds.

man, switch to iv sedation.. especially if you dont like people messin with your teeth... being awake through that would suck imo, not that i couldnt do it... but why do it when you have the choice,.
besides... youll get a shot of triazolam, a super strong benzo that fucks you up harcore... and they give you nitrous to help put you out anyways

I was awake when I got mine pulled. I didnt feel a thing because of the local anesthetic, but it was still weird as fuck watchin this guy yank on my tooth with all his might with a pair of plyers. I thought he was gonna put his foot on my chest for leverage.
I got a script for 7.5 vics and one pill did the trick for me, at least for a few hours. Also, the gargling of salt water is good for the pain in addition to preventing infection.

If you want to stop the bleeding, get some tea bags and put them over your holes. I don't know why it helps, but the doc told me to do that and it worked like a charm. Although, you do look pretty stupid laying there drugged up with teabag strings hanging from your mouth. 
I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out two years ago. I think the worst part of it all is getting the stitches taken out. I don't know why those fuckers didn't use the dissolving ones, but it hurts like a bitch when they cut them out - especially when they miss the stitches and cut your flesh.

Don't worry man, the gums have a great blood supply and heal super fast. I had a lot of pain the first day or two, and then it dropped off surprisingly quick. Follow the list of instructions so you don't mess up your mouth. Remember: no straws. That ones important 
Honestly, in my experience, the day or two of discomfort was worth the bottle of vicodin.

well i ate 4 vics earlier at 10. it's now 6 and i just ingested 2 more vics along with around 30 mg of morphine sulfate orally. will tolerance from earlier in the day be an issue? because i am thinking i might eat 1 or 2 more vic.

the vics suck nuts. my mouth hurt so bad after my teeth were pulled. just grin and bear it the best you can. I say swallow all of the vics cause they suck and you need to take them all at once to feel better in the least. BUT DONT SMOKE POT. I said fuck the vics give me the nugs and that was a shitty choice cause i got dry sockets like a motehrcuker. itll be over soon

when can i smoke? it's day #2. i plan on smoking monday in which 3 full days will have passed.
i took the morphine sulfate and vic together, but forgot i had taken dexamethasone (a steroid i believe, for the swelling). does anyone know if there are any bad interactions between all these chemicals?
