Have you had your wisdom teeth pulled?

[Shannacore]

Was it awful? How sedated were you? Was recovery a pain in the ass?

I'm pretty nervous about it (happening on Wednesday) mostly because they have to knock me all of the way out. WHAT IF I DON'T WAKE UP? WHAT IF I'M STILL CONSCIOUS DURING THE SURGERY?

I don't think recovery is going to be very fun. I was prescribed percocet a few weeks ago when they were starting to create a really painful infection in my mouth and I did not react well to it. I got barfy and was overall just out of it, ended up just switching to some strong ibuprofen, which didn't really get rid of all of the pain. I'm worried about having the same reaction to any other kind of pain medication.

Anyway, look out for a shanna_after_the_dentist.avi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs).

aaaaaaahhhh.

[Raavak]

It can be okay if you don't get dry socket. I bled/drooled blood all over my pillow the night after, too, which was gross, but not the end of the world.

Tons of people get them pulled every day and I've never heard of anyone dieing. So don't freak out.

[Nocte]

Yes. I wasn't sedated at all, they just numbed the area with... whatever that shit is. Recovery wasn't terrible. I had big wisdom teeth that had grown into my skull and jaw, so they kind of head to break them off a little. I had pretty bad bruising, but the only painful part was the first day. I had percoset, but I think they prescribed too much, because I was a drooling idiot (note: more than usual) until it wore off and I never took any more.

[Agatha]

better more pain meds then not enough, i wont get dental work without the goods.

Basically same experience. i had vicodin but only took it that first day. I had to take the train for an hour about 30 mins after i got mine done. felt bad for people that had to see me change my gauze pads at the train station lol. i wouldnt want to be put under just for that. Enough novocaine solves everything.

[Ektar]

numbed my mouth, pulled them out, sewed them up. One of them was a lil painful but I am manly so I did not wince. Was prescribed some drug but did not use or need it. Couldn't eat for a day or so but then it just became about making sure I didn't pull out the stitches. Then they vanished several days later and my mouth was super normal again.


hey girl you nervous gimmie a call ya know I'll comfort you

[Ektar]

So nobody was totally put under?? fffuuuu----

Will my mouth taste like shit? Like blood and other goopy bodily fluids?

I had to take the train for an hour about 30 mins after i got mine done.

My office requires someone sit in the waiting room during the procedure to ensure I have a ride home. Probably because I'm going to be all fuxed up on anesthetic.

Yeah i wasnt allowed to drive. My aunt met me at train station and took me to dentist then dropped me off at station afterwords. I was just a drooling mess. was totally coherent the whole time though and yes your mouth will taste like ass. Just make sure you do everything they say you don't want to end up with dry socket.

[Shannacore]

wut is a dry socket

[Millburn]

Dry socket is when the area where your teeth used to be dries out and you get all sorts of pain and complications because of it. That's why you don't drink with straws or do similar things after you have dentist work done.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out a while back, they put me completely under with anesthesia. It was super quick recovery, only took about a week or so to get back to full strength. Just make sure to eat lots of cabbage soup, shit's delicious.

[Ektar]

don't you judge me!


IT WAS A CRAZY STRAW it went loop de loop de loop!

[Raavak]

So nobody was totally put under?? fffuuuu----I was completely out. I had no problems with that.

I'm off of work until Monday (procedure is Wednesday), so hopefully that's enough time!

I'm making a big ol' pot of chicken + rice soup for the recovery time. Plus I am using it as an excuse to eat as many mashed potatoes as I want. Don't judge me.

[Hasbinfat]

I had it done when I was in high school. They gave me a single dose of valium to take the morning of the surgery, I guess to keep me calm and relaxed. It helped, as I don't really remember feeling nervous about it at all. My doctor looked and sounded like squidward.

They put an IV in my hand and several moments later they told me to count back from 10. I probably didn't make it past 8 before it felt like I was melting into my chair, and falling backwards away from my own field of vision. Then I woke up, without having perceived the passage of any time. I felt extremely intoxicated and the first thing I did was put a dopey grin on my face and flirt with the nurse who was in the room with me. I said something like "Heey.... how u doin? ;)" but it probably just came out mostly as moans and gibberish.

They helped me stumble into some kind of chill-out room with a bed in it, where I collected myself for 5-10 minutes, then my parents came and took me home. They gave me some gauze to put on it to soak up any bleeding. The rest of the day there was some pretty moderate soreness, but nothing after that. They gave me a small bottle of vicodin which I didn't take. I ended up trying to use it recreationally a few months later but I didn't feel anything.

Overall I found it to be an enjoyable experience. Getting put under was interesting. Pain was minimal. Would do again

[Samoht]

Tons of people get them pulled every day and I've never heard of anyone dieing. So don't freak out.

I'm not meaning to be a fear-monger here, but this statement is uneducated and under researched.

I'm unable to comment on Shanna's particular instance, but the wisdom teeth removal industry is a fraud perpetuated by A) dentists and B) big pharm (specifically pain killers) to fleece insurance that the rest of us pay for.

Google deaths from wisdom teeth removal. People die almost every day from having this procedure, so they're really starting to crack down on unnecessary removals.

[Stinkum]

since you're female you'll probably get dry socket no matter how careful you are (look it up if you don't believe me)

[Shannacore]

no

[FoxxHound]

I had 2 of mine pulled. One was cut and the other they broke into pieces and pulled out the pieces.
Dry socket fucking SUCKS >.<

I wouldnt suggest the rice. those grains will get stuck in the holes in your mouth and could cause all kinds of issues.

The only danger I could really foresee is going completely out and not coming out. There is some danger of death from shock or infection too. But all these are absurdly rare.

nothing ever goes wrong or they wouldn't do it





best mindset because you're gonna do it anyway

I was totally under - I had all 4 out at once. When I woke up everything but my teeth hurt. I was laid up for about 3 days. Be careful rinsing and you won't have any issues with fluids.

[Raavak]

Necessity of having them pulled is arguable, but in the USA we aspire to have good teeth. Based on culture or pharmaceutical greed, doesn't matter. You're going to do it anyway.

[Raavak]

I was totally under - I had all 4 out at once. When I woke up everything but my teeth hurt. I was laid up for about 3 days. Be careful rinsing and you won't have any issues with fluids.My jaw was sore when I woke up. I swore the doctor braced his foot on my chin to yank one of them out.

[thrump]

I had mine out last summer. Was put under, which was freakin' awesome, I'd like them to just knock me out the second I enter a doctor's office in the future.

In short -- hate needles, hate blood, hate anything being done to me. No big deal.

I'm good with pain, though. It did hurt a bit at home at the start, but I took the tylenol and it was okay after a couple of hours. Surgeon said the side that hurt he "had to be rougher with" -- very glad I wasn't awake.

Female. Didn't get dry socket. Just follow the rules.

[Shannacore]

Lot's of good info and stories in this thread. I appreciate it :]

Ack, good idea. Will ditch the rice.

I had all 3 of mine out about 30 years ago. I wasn't sedated. Just a bit of local. One would have been impacted, if allowed to continue growing (and the dental insurance company didn't want to cover that one ?!). The surgery was split across two visits-- one Friday, one Monday. It's an extremely weird feeling to watch some guy intensely unscrew things out of your jaw, but I'm the type that likes needles and blood and stuff. Raavak, you're not too far from the reality. It looked like he was bracing his foot on my chin (but it was probably the chair)... and unscrewing, unscrewing, chisel chisel, unscrewing... fun! :)

I used plenty of ice, afterwards, for the swelling, but there wasn't a whole lot of pain. I was on no meds, other than Advil. But I'm the type that would rather endure a little pain than take painkillers. Stiches fell out in several days. IIRC, the inflamation/swelling caused a serious post-nasal drip that gave me a sore throat afterwards. That was the worst of it.

If you have a history of bad reactions to anesthetics, then I would make sure the dentist knows. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry much.

[Otto]

+ 1 for no rice.

Had mine out a few years ago. Was put completely under. Just felt like I dozed off for a minute, didn't even realize they were gone at first.

Didn't bother me much during or after. Was fun to poke at the holes with my tongue til they healed up =p

[Yinaltin]

as a young dentist ... watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omqjAyuoFfI :D

we use ultracain as weapon of choice vs pain . no sedation just numbing . works every time .


ps . 0:36 is the fun part

[Misto]

My dentist gave me too much Nitrous Oxide and I started hearing shit.

Reminded me of a Moby song.

Sounded like My Weakness with some robot lady saying random numbers while the track played.

No music was playing in the office. I asked.

[Misto]

You will taste blood. And you will feel the teeth being removed from their sockets.

However. It won't hurt while you're under the effects of laughing gas.

I was really high.

But I still felt a little pain.

It wasn't bad though.

I didn't get any pain medication either.

It didn't hurt afterwards.

It was weird running my tongue over the gaps in my gums though.

They wanted to remove all 4.

But only 2 were impacted. So I told them to only remove 2. The bottom ones.

[Misto]

OH ROFL. That wasn't my wisdom teeth. That was 2 other teeth that were crowding the bottom.

For my wisdom teeth. They completely knocked me out.

I was actually in the middle of saying "So when am I going to (feel asleep) was going to say (fall asleep)."

Woke up. It was instantaneous.

You won't notice the difference in time. You'll wake up groggy though. That's it.

[Gwence]

I had all 4 of mine out with just local anesthesia

I could have gotten general but they have to bring in an anesthesiologist for that and it's more expensive, and also totally unnecessary (or at least it was for me)

I requested that they setup some kind of mirror so I could watch, but the surgeon wouldnt go for it, tried to cover my face with a cloth which pissed me off too.


overall I dont like being put under either, would avoid whenever possible.

[Barkingturtle]

I had mine out and it actually did kill me.

Just kidding, I still have mine. They've erupted through the gums and I do some of my best chewing with them. They're blocky, weird, big-ass teeth. I highly recommend.

[Pico]

took mine out on ym own, if u really think those doctors are anything more than highly paid burger flippers feel free to have it done by a 'professional'

[Malice_Mizer]

I was out and about with friends the same day, honestly.

Got it done in the morning, by that night I was drinking and smoking cigarettes (obviously against orders b/c dry socketz), and it was no big deal. I continued with cigs and drinking with straws and never got a dry socket. Luck and idiocy are usually on the side of 17 year olds afterall, methinks.

Just don't let them show you the teeth afterward. It's fucking disgusting.

[FoxxHound]

Sooo the worst is even though your mouth is numb, and you can't feel it. You can smell the smoke of the tools they are using, and that makes ya vomit.

[Alawen]

I had all four done at once. They put me under. When I came to, I had no fucking idea where I was or how I'd gotten there. I thought someone had drugged and tortured me to learn my secrets. I knew I had to get out of there. I tried to stand up but I was still too fucked up. One of the guards in white clothes came in to try to make me lie down but I fought her. My arms and legs wouldn't work right because the evil regime was using powerful shit on me.

Then my mom took me home. I slept for about the next three days, mostly because I took the pain killers at twice the normal rate, then begged for more.

You'll never make me talk, fuckers.

[Shannacore]

^ OMG this is what I am afraid of.

[r00t]

when they put you out you'll prolly get an IV with a sedative first, so any nervousness/butterflies will quickly fade into a black hole of time vampired from your life

you wont remember anything, and when you come to you will be literally like the highest youve ever been. Youll have no motor skills. You wont know wtf happened. I would say its disorienting very much like being super super drunk just way more fun. Youll prolly say a buncha dum shit, so definitely call up your crush

you'll be in this super high state for about 45 mins and prolly be a lil outta it but cool and sober enough to function for a bit after

the cotton+blood+dry+numb will fucking suck, ugh I hate that feeling like nails on chalk board. eating will fucking suck. dont take vicodin while/or day after drinking, and def abuse the fuck out of it and again call up your crush

[Shannacore]

brb having my phone turned off for a week

[thrump]

Results may vary.

I didn't get high~

[Grahm]

Went 100% under and they gave me 30 hydrocodones 5/500's. Was awesome as a junior in highschool.

They literally made me watch a video saying how it is a complicated procedure and how infections can and do happen including, vary rarely death forreal. But same video said if you don't get them removed then they WILL get infected and cause the same or worse issues. so its a lose/lose

[Shannacore]

Your signature is perfect.

[SwordNboard]

Went under 100%, felt like 5 minutes and it was over. Had an awesome buzz waking up and barely remember the ride home. Got to take vico's for a while. Easy peasy.

[Rhambuk]

I wasn't put under just given gas. there was no pain during the procedure but the smell was awful, dust was flying out of my mouth from the drilling and the stench undescribeable. The recovery was fine from what I remember, not a lot of pain but took about a week before I was feeling normal again. On the second day I sneezed or something and blew the clot out, I could inhale through my nose and the air would come through the hole in my gum and down my throat. No pain just weird, went back and they stuffed it with something or other.

Anyway it wasn't bad, the pain was minimal if youve had teeth pulled before its the same just more of them. That was my experience I guess others arent so lucky, my mother had a bruise on her face a perfect imprint of the dentists hand. He held onto her jaw so tightly while he was trying to pull her teeth that she was bruised for 3 days.

Anyway goodluck!

Kind of true....always a good idea to check yourself out after being sedated.

[Ektar]

^ OMG this is what I am afraid of.

I had emergency neurosurgery and when I came out of it I was groggy but knew exactly where I was and why I was there. Such other extreme reactions would only happen to druids who are strongly in-tune with the earth n shit

[MrSparkle001]

Had them out when I was 17. They put me under general anesthesia and when I woke up I felt wonderful. Got home, laid in bed high as a kite, my girlfriend holding my hand while I was talking nonsense and laughing at the shadows on the wall and stuff...and then it started wearing off.

It wasn't pleasant after that. Pain killers helped.

Freaky part was waking up during the procedure. I remember seeing them and hearing them talk about stitching me up, then saying I needed more anesthesia. It wasn't painful or anything, just freaky.

aaaaaaahhhh.

Yes. It was fucking painful. They gave me a percocet script and I was not unconscious during it.

For two weeks I could barely eat decent solid food and my mouth was in constant pain.

Have fun!

[Jenova]

I had to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed. But fortunately for me, I have a really good dentist and he suggested that i get 2 taken out at a time. That way the recovery time is not so bad.

I went in and got the two on the left side of my mouth taken out first. He waited about 30 min after injecting me with novacane and then made sure I was well and numb before he began. There is a lot of pulling and some awful cracking sounds, but it actually did not take too long and was over before I knew it.

My dentist prescribed me a good amount of Hydrocodone 750, about 25 pills worth. Honestly, the most awful part was that for the first 2 days, I could not eat solid foods, so I had to drink alot of fluids. And for the first day I also had a mouth full of bloody gauze that I had to keep changing hourly. By the second day though, I was able to do the salt water mouth rinse every hour and it definitely helped.

By day 3 I was eating solid foods again and by day 5 I was back to normal. A week later I got the other side of my mouth taken care of. And my dentist, who is awesome, prescribed me another dosage of Hydrocodone but this time he gave me double, 50 more pills for extra just in case.

Basically, I just played everquest the whole time while doped up on Hydrocodones. It was actually pretty nice. And with the exception of the bloody gauze mouth the first day, being medicated while playing eq was a very relaxing and fun experience. Also, I found it hard to sleep the first two days because of the no food/being doped up. But I did not even feel tired staying up for nearly 3 days because of the medication.

Everyone is different, but I found that one pill would give me a good 6 hours of the intense relaxed feeling and after about 8 hours the effects begin to wear off. In fact, I was so caught up in playing eq that all of the sudden, my mouth started aching terribly and I realized that about 9 hours had gone by and I did not re-dose. After that, I made sure to take a new pill after about 7 hours.

When my brother decided to get his wisdom teeth removed he opted for all four at once. He was absolutely miserable for 5 days, he could not eat anything solid. And then for another 3 or 4 days after he was still recovering. Also, they used nitrous oxide instead of the novacane and he was perscribed codine pills instead. This was about a year before my procedure so it definitely swayed my opinion on going for two teeth at once instead of all four.

Hope this help :)

[Droxx]

They were supposed to put me under, did the IV and everything but I was awake and communicating with the dentist the whole time. Lulz. Mine were grown all the way in, they just looked like extra molars.

No pain afterwards. I only took the percocet as sleeping pills. I was literally out drinking and smoking that night and didn't get dry socket ***STILL NOT RECOMMENDED***.

Make sure you get a syringe from them to clean out the tooth holes cause foods gonna get stuck in there and its gross and annoying.

Also you might get a sore jaw. Sore and tired like you've been chewing gum for hours and hours. Not really painful just a little tender.

[Shannacore]

Not bad at all. I (silently) had a godamn panic attack when I sat down in the chair and they made me sign a consent form indicating I was aware that there was a possibility of them puncturing my sinus cavity (!!) when removing the upper ones, or fucking with the major nerve that gives life to your lips/tongue/gums (!!) when removing the lower ones.

They didn't give me do a countdown. I felt the pinch from the IV, she said I might feel a slight burning sensation in my right shoulder (which I did not) and maybe 10 seconds later I was out.

Freaky part was waking up during the procedure. I remember seeing them and hearing them talk about stitching me up, then saying I needed more anesthesia. It wasn't painful or anything, just freaky.

This same exact thing happened to me. I recall waking up four times and it looked like a fucking movie with four people with surgical masks in your face, powerless to do anything. Every time I'd open my eyes the doc would tell me to shut them, I would oblige and just pass back out. I recall seeing the doc stitch me up (pulling the string or whatever it is in and out of my mouth), which was weird. I didn't feel anything though, and although I heard the sounds of who-knows-what-the-fuck kind of machinery they were using, it wasn't cringe worthy. At one point I believe he told them to up my anesthetic.

I was not very loopy after the procedure. I did need to have someone help walk me out to the car, but by the time I got home (20 minute car ride), I was fine. Was obviously talking funny because of a totally numb tongue. I was kind of disappointed, actually!! Was hoping to do at least ONE loopy retarded thing I could later laugh at. Oh well, maybe I'll just chug some vicodin and get ~crazy~ that way.

Oh and my ride did attach a video camera to his rear view mirror sometime in-between dropping me off and driving me home. That asshole.

So now I'm home. My mouth/chin/some of my cheek areas being totally numb was a really bizarre feeling, I had a really hard time taking my antibiotics + pain meds when I first got home, I just couldn't tell if I was swallowing them or not and ended up having to spit them out and try again. The right side of my face actually feels really fine, it's the left side that's being a mother fucker. Right side is no longer numb and not even painful. Left side is still retarded numb and very painful. Now that my tongue is un-numbing I'm starting to taste blood and whatever else. Yuck.

Didn't know that on day 1 I'm not allowed to have warm foods, because that's pretty much all I planned for (soup, overcooked pasta, etc). Pudding can only go so far! My roomie just went to go track down a smoothie from Kiva Juice or something.

Anyway, for your viewing pleasure. I'm assuming the broken up ones came from the side of my mouth that's more painful than the other:

[Shannacore]

Also, gonna laze around in bed the next three days. Looking for movie recommendations. I'm on a Romance kick right now, but I'm sure that's not the most popular genre 'round here.

Netflix preferred, but I can also "absolutely legally" obtain a copy of whatever.

[Rhambuk]

Freaky part was waking up during the procedure. I remember seeing them and hearing them talk about stitching me up, then saying I needed more anesthesia. It wasn't painful or anything, just freaky.

Had something similar happen to me during an upper endoscopy. Woke up with a tube down my throat I couldn't breathe or move I just kept trying to swallow it which was impossible and just made me gag a little. Only woke up for maybe 6-7 seconds and passed back out, but it was very scary...

[r00t]

whats up with people waking up under anesthesia? I was totally out for the entire time I had my wisdom teeth and another time when I broke my nose, but I'm getting my wrist slit open next week and don't wanna wake up during it.

I think maybe shanna and other people who say they didn't wake up too fucked up is because they barely gave them enough to stay asleep? Everytime I've come too I've been flyin in the stars

Lucky for me I wasn't really scared, I just felt tugging and stuff in my mouth.

I won't lie, it was damned painful a few hours later. I slept most of the rest of the day.

my first scope i was out and they wouldnt let me leave for over an hour after I came too because i was gonzo, the second time when i woke during the moment i woke up in recovery i was 100% and they let me WALK out the front door in under 5 minutes, no wheelchair like they were supposed to.

I'm surprised they put people under for wisdom teeth removal, I was just given the gas and felt great but watching the dust come out of my mouth and the smell...oh....my....christ the smell was probably the worst thing i have ever smelled in my life...

Day 3 is significantly worse than day 1 or 2 were.

everyone i know loses a bunch of weight after getting their wisdom teeth out. prepare for an increase in hotness levels.

Yep :( It sucks.

Did you have a problem with your teeth that they needed to come out? For me I couldn't close my mouth properly, so after like a week when the pain subsided I was a lot more comfortable than before.
