so got my wisdom teeth out finally

About 3 years too late.. but better late than never eh?
Went to the dentist yesterday, they took an xray and saw all of them needed to be removed. Two were broken/rotting, one was impacted.. one was like.. sideways. And my one broken molar from one of the wisdom teeth basically crushing it and then rotting it out. Anyways, he knocked me out and I woke up an hour and a half later, minus 5 teeth.. in no pain. Been 24 hours so far.. very minimal swelling and almost no pain (the percs probably help though..)
Don't know why people are so afraid of the dentist. I've had two root canals while awake and they didn't really bother me. People say having your wisdom teeth taking out is really painful afterwards but that's not really the case for me so far. But it does feel good to know that I don't have some rogue teeth in the back of my mouth, pushing and fucking up my other teeth anymore.
The only thing I'm afraid of is how I'm going to pay this bill. heh. No insurance FTL.

You and ibuprofen are gonna be close friends!
My brother in the Navy had four wisdom teeth out at once too. Then they had him walk almost a mile to the pharmacist on base. His sutures opened up mid-walk so he was drooling blood all over his white uniform. He was outta it for like a week.

As long as you follow the docs advice, on not getting dry sockets, you,ll probably never hurt really. I had all mine done at the same time a fews years back, and I saved all my pills for other things, because I never had any pain.

I wish I had dissolvable stitches. I guess I'm an unlucky one cause they had to cut that shit out of my mouth...and the bitch doing it cut my mouth a few times.
Getting your wisdom teeth out isnt that bad if they didn't have to cut much.
I thought getting my wisdom teeth out was bad until I got my tonsils taken out. That was definitely one of the worst experiences of my life. hahah

yikes... i was quoted like 4g's to fix my shit completly... but they were basing that on the $2000 from the insurance in 1 year, and not from the fact that it renews on jan 1st... i need to go back before the first and get a cleanin, so it dont take it out of my budget next year... i have enough to get it done for $160 (is the deep clean, or something)... next year it will cost $130 and take like 450 away from my budget...
i need another root canal, wisdom teeth taken out, fangs removed, and possibly braces, if i choose to accept... probably some more cavities too.. by then..

frozen bags of peas are better than ice paks.
get yourself 4 bags and rotate through 2 at a time as they melt. since they are small and mobile, the bags are much more confortable than huge blocks of frozen ice on your face.
if you start feeling any worse pain as the days go on, make sure you immediately go back to your dentist. i ended up with a horrible infection that linked my upper left wisdom tooth cavity with my sinuses and it was HORRIBLE. i was in some serious pain and because i had gone down to visit yoschie in colorado springs and my dentist was in boulder i had to wait 2 days until he could look at me. turned out i had a raging infection and i had to go on SUPER strong antibiotics for an extra week or so and added quite a bit of healing time.
enjoy the percosets!

Hey Shroomism, I was following your last post too, when you first spoke about it, and I remember you mentioned those gum-flaps the teeth make. I think I want mine removed since food does get caught in there and I don't want any rotting. What the the operation entail?

He just.. umm.. pulled out the teeth. I don't know how much drilling or cutting was involved because I was unconscious.. but I assume some since there's stitches. But now I shouldn't get food stuck in those crevices anymore.. fucking yay. Apparently two of my wisdom teeth were rotten because of the angle they were at they were trapping food.. and had to be taken out in chunks. But it's not bad at all. I don't mind the dentist really.

i think i have to get that done also. next month ill be going in to get 4 wisdom teeth out plus that gum operation.. pretty sure we're talking about the same thing (cant read the docs handwriting or i'd write the name of the procedure ) i asked if it would hurt they said no since ill be getting novacaine, nitrous and some IV, plus lots of pain meds after.
im guessing this means no smoking herb until everythings healed.. guess i get to make some brownies eh
