Wisdom Teeth Removal

[Sydney_Darko]

So I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled next week and I’m so scared! I have no idea what I’m going to do! I’ve heard so many horror stories about swelling, dry socket, infections, losing feeling in the mouth, broken jaws, stitches, bleeding…OH THE HORROR! BLOOD OMG! I don’t know how I’ll survive. I hate needles so much and I don’t know what I’m ever to do! I’m so scared and horrified and I’m such a baby. I hear about stories where people wake up in the middle of the surgery, or people get sick the following night cuz the anesthetic disagrees with their stomach. I have to get all four pulled out, and I am so nervous and scared and scared and scared…GOD I’m SCARED! Help me? Any advice or stories of your own? PLEASE TELL ME!

1. drop the font size

2. Make sure they get you good and drugged up. Also, the painkillers you get will be totally worth it.

[Sydney_Darko]

sorry didn't know it was so huge. lol thanks

[Kassie09]

make sure you get totally put to sleep and not just valium or you'll regret it

it'l be fine they do wisdom teeth removal everyday, as long as you dont use straws to drink out of and follow instruction, nothing bad will happen, no worries

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Sucks for the first few weeks. Don't smoke, don't drink out of straws, keep yourself stress free.

[Smash Adams]

There was an educational film made a few years back that you should watch

[kafe]

Calm down or you'll have a heartattack before the removal. It's probably not as bad as everyone make it out to be, my mum had no problem with her and I don't think they used anaesthesia on her, just local. If you're all stressed and up-tight/tense it'll probably be worse.

[Animalhill]

pffft- don't be a pussy. Mia took it like a champ :-d

[Sydney_Darko]

haha guys, thanks btw...I like the support. lolZ

[poseidon0513]

why are you complaining about free painkillers?

[Sventhegreat]

why are you complaining about free painkillers?

Totes bro.

[socoxshelby]

It's not very bad. You get knocked out anyway, and get painkillers.

But be sure to keep the holes clean afterwords, getting an infection in those areas suck (the only plus side is more painkillers).

[ilikesound93]

Yeah I'll be nervous when my time comes...soon enough. I can already feel them there. What kind of hard painkillers? I've had vicodin but that just made me pass out for 6 hours. not very fun

[heyozzie]

man, mine sucked when i got them out, i had a dry socket, it was the worst. and all four at one time, although torture, is the only way to go.

[zion the lion]

I still have to get some baby teeth pulled.

if it makes you feel better, when I was 8, they were going to pull some extra teeth, and they gave me so much laughing gas that I started throwing up all over the place and they had to take me to the hospital...the nice part was that my throw up consisted of only oatmeal, so it tasted exactly the same coming up as it did going down.

[Sydney_Darko]

Ew gross dude...that's funny

[bladerdude360]

I haven't gotten my wisdom teeth pulled yet, so I can't really give you any advice.

[optimusrob]

im getting mine pulled in october... the day before an every time i die concert in my area. i am so pissed. maybe it was partly my dad trying to save me from watching bring me the horizon/

[socoxshelby]

I had mine pulled on Valentine's day if that makes you feel any better...

[abcdefghijake]

Maybe you should have your wisdom teeth grow in properly like the alpha males of society.

Yeah oli might pee on you.

[baseballfreak19]

i had mine pulled last year, it wasnt bad at all. i got some perks and i didnt feel shit. i was back on my feet after 2 days. just dont suck on anything after you get it done so you dont get a dry socket. you'll be alright.

[DRUMMERGIRL121]

My wisdom teeth are still coming in, slowly but surely. And painfully.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

I had a Lt Col do mine when I was at AIT... was fucking horrible. Was wide awake the whole time and wasn't fully numb so I felt everything, but numb enough not to be able to really say anything. Puked all night after it... went to Six Flags the next day. Good stuff.

Most places its hydrocodone.

[ilikesound93]

mm. Never heard of that stuff.

[Chancetobe]

Had mine removed, face got puffy, hurt but not as bad as I thought and I ate just ice cream for a week. It's not so bad as long as you can just chill at home.

[zion the lion]

mm. Never heard of that stuff.

Hydrocodone is vicodin, or lortab or norco or whatever else its called.

[ilikesound93]

ouu.

[Matts Mannequin]

Hydrocodone is the knock off vicodin. Most places prescribe it because its cheaper and in the drug world its way more common.

Good one!

[MyNameIsRoss]

I had this done a long time ago. Had quite a bit of vicodin left over...

[TangledUp]

I was scared too. I got mine removed like 3 years ago. It went horribly for me but everyone else I've known who's gotten them removed have had NO problems. I just had a ton of swelling and my dumb dentist prescribed too strong of a dose of Vicadin and I got super sick from it.

[phil19]

my wisdom teeth come through halfway one at a time and then go away again after a couple weeks. then the other side will come through a bit later and do the same thing. its been happening like this for years

[ted is lying]

Im happy i have perfect teeth.

[zion the lion]

I'm growing in some new teeth, but apparently they still arent my wisdom teeth. One dentist commented on my over abundance of teeth and how my boyfriend must have felt about them...and that was the last time I ever went to that dentist.

[ted is lying]

You should fight him... hurry up before he commite suicide

[Heart-A-Tact]

Avoid the dreaded dry socket by following the instructions given to you by HangsLikeHeaven. Aside from that, just stay calm. Don't psych yourself out over it. You're going to be fine.

[concernedparent]

I got this done recently, and was really scared of getting put to sleep. In all honesty, I had been postponing my appointments for years because it freaked me out. But then I got it done and it was nothing. They inject you, eventually you fall asleep and wake up and it's done and you're fine. Then you chill on the couch for a few days. It's important to follow the instructions they give you very closely, because dry socket is supposedly one of the most painful things in the world. I was actually worried I had dry socket, since I had intense pain on the 4th day after the surgery (they say it should be decreasing by that point). I went to the dentist and they told me it was fine, and after a few more days my teeth were fine.

[wendjiqn]

Good one!
Why did I need a response?

[Domenic182]

I've had two major jaw surgeries and I'm still alive, quit whining.

[Hohbomb]

You may or may not die.

[brokenwings]

mine were taken out in 2 surgeries and i only had local anaesthesia. it was actually not bad at all. and i only had to take additional painkillers after the second one and even then only once. but i actually enjoyed the second surgery itself because there was a hot nurse lying on me most of the time. yeah, i had a good time

[Foosimoo]

I had no pain really, it is just really annoying not being able to feel your lips.

[zachff]

You may or may not die.
I think it's like a 50% mortality rate

[zachff]

And BJ's are great for dry socket

[maxvsmaradona]

sorry didn't know it was so huge. lol thanks

that's what she said!

[Crowe41]

Get a tattoo and you'll get over your fear of needles. Guess that doesn't make sense. I got my wisdom teeth out this summer and the dentist must have thought I was nervous or something cause he had me take Valium the night before (Blink-182 show!), the morning of, then gave me nitrous oxide all before giving me the IV needle. From my experience, getting your wisdom teeth out is one hell of a good time!

[ted is lying]

This.

You should listen to Sam, he is very wise.

I had no problem with my wisdom teeth... I mean after the anesthic wore off and before I got my pain meds I had this brief episode where I was bleeding profusely from my mouth.. but I got that undercontrol! And I went out that weekend and drank and smoked .. not a lot but I still did. I got them out liek 2 and a half weeks ago and I'm fine. I mean your getting yoru wisdom teeth out, your gonna be okay.

Fixed and agreed. :-)

[Sydney_Darko]

Wow...ok, I've gotten a lot of advice so far, but seriously, no ARGUING here honestly, it's interesting and all, but it's too early for me to read arguments. Either you have something on the subject or you don't alright? Thanks guys who actually offered support!

[Skillen]

Right, I can't be bothered readin what everyones said, but being a dental student who done an extraction today heres what I know. Its safer to only use local anaesthetic, less risks but you will be awake and it'll be more uncomfortable - not painful but you'll feel the dentist pulling the teeth out. Also they will probably have to do it over more than one visit.

It is possible for all the things you;ve mentioned t happen, but it's far more likely that it won't. You will bleed after it, but chances are not for long, they might stitch the socket up but again depends on how mich bleeding there is and how fast it clots. Chances are they will probably break the buccal bone (towards your cheek) but it will heal its self and isn't really anything to worry about.

The losing feeling in your mouth is a risk that happens if the nerve which runs through the lower part of your mouth runs inbetween the roots of the tooth and as a result could be damaged. However, the incidence rate of that happening is roughly 1:1000 of permanent damage. So its not very likely. This is only in the bottom teeth almost no risk is involved to the nerve in removig upper third molars.

Finally, as with any wound if you clean it as the dentist will tell you, you wont get an infection. Another note, the injections are almost painless on posterior teeth, its slightly sore on anterior teeth but well that doesn't really affect you.

So thats the truth about it all, don't worry about it.

THey'll only break the cheek bone? eh? eep?????!!!!! :( well, I'd trust what you would say since you've been doing it or whatnot, but it doesn't make it any less scarier to someone who freaks about everything. thanks for the inuput and support

Do dentists let people watch their teeth get pulled out? Like if I wanted to be awake and watch them do this to me, will they let me hold up a mirror?

i don't think so. they won't even let you keep them unless your religion specifies

sorry for the threadjack, but i wanted to let you know that there will be no maypole drawings this evening or any other evening (with this guy at least). he decided to go gay for pay instead of going out with me tonight. needless to say, he's missing out on some stellar artwork.

Aww i bet it would have been amazingly good. I actually asked my guy if he would let me draw on him, and he said yes, but only if it was a depiction of a space invasion, god knows he has a enough room for it.

[Skillen]

Yes, they do in Glasgow anyway. Most people don't like to watch and it would be difficult to let you see if it's a tooth in the back of your mouth. It's hard enough or me to see most of the time. However, if it's in the front, they most likely wont have a problem with it. Though the dentist would probably try and talk you into staying awake (less risks) but out of watching it (more likelyhood the patient could faint). It can be a rather gruesome procedure.

So I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled next week and I’m so scared! I have no idea what I’m going to do! I’ve heard so many horror stories about swelling, dry socket, infections, losing feeling in the mouth, broken jaws, stitches, bleeding…OH THE HORROR! BLOOD OMG! I don’t know how I’ll survive. I hate needles so much and I don’t know what I’m ever to do! I’m so scared and horrified and I’m such a baby. I hear about stories where people wake up in the middle of the surgery, or people get sick the following night cuz the anesthetic disagrees with their stomach. I have to get all four pulled out, and I am so nervous and scared and scared and scared…GOD I’m SCARED! Help me? Any advice or stories of your own? PLEASE TELL ME!



You will be fine :-) The worst was what happened to me..those assholes grew in on me. Talk about PAIN?!.. Getting them out before they grow in is the best advice I can give. It'll be shitty for a lil while because you have to have a liquid diet, and opening your mouth wide will take some exercise. But, you won't feel a thing.. As far as peoples stomachs hurting they prob ate or drink that night before or day of, and you're not supposed to. Don't be afraid, it'll be over before you know.

It's really not that bad at all. They'll give you a shot in the arm and 10 seconds later you'll be out like a light. It's just like blinking, it's way trippy how a few hours are instantly gone when you wake. Don't strain yourself when you wake up, you'll feel a little dizzy/weak. Just go home and take a nap right away. You'll get some delicious vicodin to take home, depending on your medical/the doctor decision (take 1 for pain, 2 for fun). If it's percocet, take with caution, as they are addictive, but they're way stronger. Other than that, you'll just be eating awesome stuff like mashed potatoes, oatmeal, ice cream, soup for a few days. Try not to stretch your mouth open too much or laugh for the 1st week, your jaw will hurt.

It sounds like a hassle, but your all better pretty damn quick, don't trip.

A.) Drop the font size and unnecessary CAPS LOCK. LOOK ISN'T THIS REALLY ANNOYING!?!?!? CAN'T YOU ALREADY READ WHAT I'VE BEEN WRITING?!?!?!? ok get it?

B.) Send me your painkillers because my doctor's suck and I have to spend $300 on a doctor's appt to get my refill.

P.S. wisdom teeth removal is nothing compared to back pain. I will have this my whole life you'll be better in what? A few weeks? Stop being a puss.

2. Make sure they get you good and drugged up. Also, the painkillers you get will be totally worth it.
The painkillers I got are weak! The pain is totally kicking my butt! TT__TT

[eriatarka24]

i'm scared now

[Jennurna Gray]

If you allow them to choose, they'll give you a local anesthetic and crappy painkillers. Ask to be completely put out and for vicodin.

Everyone makes the same mistakes.

[Empty_fishbowl]

I stayed awake and it sounded like they were cracking nuts in my mouth. Creepy but i was fine except i'm allergic to the pills they gave me so i was nauseous the whole night.

[cwya]

Mine were easy. In and out of the surgeon's office and then I spent the rest of the day nicely zoned out on some good drugs. I was completely fine the next day.

[chelsealouanne]

Yeah, I should of gotten mine out in 2010 sometime but I didn't. My next dentist appointments in April. So I'll probably have to have them out by the summer. Only thing I worry about is infection. I've heard a really bad story once but that was rare and totally not something that would be common.

I love reposting my wisdom teeth reply:

I had my bottom two taken out, they were lying flat under the gum and each tooth had to be broken into 4 pieces. After hearing the surgeon crack the teeth inside my mouth, the strangest feeling was the tooth parts being taken out, I didn't feel any pain thanks to the anesthetic, but I could feel the bony parts sliding out of my jaw. I have since reassembled them with model glue and they're sitting in my bedside table :P

The most ridiculous/amusing part was the swelling. After 4 hours I thought I'd be fine, and them BAM massive cheeks and the most ferocious pain. I also ended up with some bruising on my cheeks, which made no sense to me, since the wound was on the inside of my mouth.

Just make sure you don't have a big social event coming up.

Oh - and DO remember to use the syringe to rinse out the gums once they start healing. I had the most rancid breath and taste in my mouth and had no idea why, but then I finally rinsed the area and dislodged a huge amount of old sutures/food particles, caught in the space where my teeth used to be.

[ilikesound93]

I have to wait another year before my top ones burst. I want vicodin now. :-(

I don't remember, why?

i had a back tooth pulled in december. part of it broke off one day and then it got incredibly infected. i was up for four days straight the week before i had it taken out because the pain was so bad. in the course of one month i took about 250 tylenol to ease the pain. I wanted to avoid the dentist at all cost. (Ive had ~9 root canals so this isnt an unjustified fear)

my boyfriend finally drove me to the dentist and by this day i was unable to speak from pain. in the actual operating room i was in hysterics. the nurse and dentist had to hold my hands down to give me the medicine and i was sobbing like a two year old. i remember i took my ipod to listen to so it might calm me down. i chose to listen to Everything in Transit even thought i knew i wouldnt be able to hear it once the meds took action. after the doc put the needle in he asked me what i was listening to. I was already fading at this point but i looked at him with teary eyes and said "ITS ANDREW" and that's the last thing i remember. i woke up about 45 minutes later (still crying uncontrollably) but all of my pain was gone and it seriously was the best i had felt in over a month.

i woke up again a few hours later in my bed next to my bf and a carton of pudding i apparently ate but don't remember. it was great being taken care of for a few days and i realized that i had nothing to be worried about in the first place. i actually kind of liked it because the meds made me feel real happy.

[limepomegranate]

My new medicine waas/kind of still is making me forgetful...don't remember that night!

Lyrica. As i've gotten used to it it's helped me and hasn't made my brain feel so mushy anymore! :-d

[zion the lion]

Mine are still growing in years fucking later. I wouldnt actually trust anyone to take them out though.

[Carolina.Alex]

Lyrica. As i've gotten used to it it's helped me and hasn't made my brain feel so mushy anymore! :-d


How does one catch mushy brain? Or was this a symptom of Lyrica?

[BreatheRight]

I got my wisdom teeth taken out without being uncoscious and I felt just about everything that happend, including the hammer they used to break my teeth.

[CruiseControl]

I had my wisdom teeth taken out about 5 years ago. Worst part of it was that I woke up in the middle of the procedure..then when the docs realized, they gave me more meds and I passed back out. But when I woke up after they were done, I was so confused and out of it, I just started sobbing in my moms arms and kept saying "I woke up...I woke up during it!!". Tramatizing lol.

[jmiller586]

I wasn't awful, although I was knocked out the entire time. Afterwards, I just slept for the first week. Just make sure you get good painkillers.

[limepomegranate]

It's a symptom of it! It wears off in a few days though after you build a tolerance to it! I hope they give me the pills next time not the capsules because otherwise more posts like that one I didn't know I posted will occur...bahhh!!!!

I meant why not go to UNC Chapel Hill or Campbell University, both have excellent pharmaceutical programs. Why would I think you were moving to Kentucky to go to a school based near Raleigh? haha
