Berk765 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I gotta get wisdom teeth removed....all four of them. Hmmmm......this will be FUN.
Lownslow Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 youre braver than i i let all 4 of them grown in thats more painfull than having them come out now im patiently taking them off one at a time
MrObsessive Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Well how 'bout having 2 top front, 2 bottom front, and one in the rear pulled all at the same time! I just had that done a couple months ago as the dentist suggested that they be pulled or they're gonna come out on their own....................and that could be most unpleasant! I've got partials in their place now-----------let's just say I haven't gotten totally used to eating with 'em yet!
gasman Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I had them all removed at the same time when I was 15. It sucked when it was done. but looking back at it I'm happy my parents decided to do it. I would not want to have them now
62SS Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 OUCH!!!! Good luck man. Had mine done a looooooong time ago. Enjoy the pain meds.hahaha Ed
Joe Handley Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Love to know why they call them wisdom teeth if thay ainn't smart enough to grow in straight Good luck with the removal
Harry P. Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Get yourself a spiral binder and write down everything you know before you have them removed. That notebook will come in very handy afterwards...
Berk765 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Get yourself a spiral binder and write down everything you know before you have them removed. That notebook will come in very handy afterwards... I don't know the exact date of the "fun" yet. I have to go to another dentist office to talk about it.
HotRodaSaurus Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Well the way I'm going about things at the moment I think I might need some wisdom teeth put IN
Eeyore Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I was told the same thing recently by my dentist... I knew I should have done it when I was a teenager. I've had alot of pain this year but now they (only 3 of a possible 4, where not sure where the other one went!) have all come through. Unfortunately the bottom two have caused some crowding and cut into the gum on one occassion! Gotta get it done soon...
Abell82 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I got mine done, in Jan. It's not as bad as they say. Just make em knock you out first!!
Guest zebm1 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Uhhh Ohhh...there goes tha Wisdom, down tha drain........ will be a blathering idiot after......
bobss396 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I had all 4 done in one shot in 1988 on a Thursday. I was knocked out for it, didn't feel a thing until the anesthesia wore off. Spent the next few days on drugs. On Friday, I built planters for my front stoop with POWER TOOLS. Saturday, I had rented a jack hammer, blasted a hole in my basement wall, broke up 15 feet of sidewalk and ran electric to my garage. All the while eating Percodans and Codein like they were penny candy. I had no bad after effects aside from one socket that refused to heal, it would up being a sliver of tooth that had to come up to the surface. Stock up on ice cream! Bob
Harry P. Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I had mine removed years ago, and like others have said, I was put under first. Afterwards I took the painkillers the dentist prescribed, and basically the whole process/recovery was painless. I've had more pain from a sore throat... so wisdom teeth removal should be a piece of cake.
dub Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I had mine done about 15 years ago. I had all four types of extractions. I was put under and didn't feel any pain afterward. None, that is until my first cigarette! If you smoke, quit for two weeks and you'll be fine. (Hell, if you make it two weeks, you might as well quit for good! )
Bowtienutz Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Best of luck to you my friend. Somehow I've managed to live with mine with no problems even after 50 years. After my assult in JUne I figured the oral surgeon would remove them to make room for repair work that was to be needed in my upper jaw and sinus cavities. I had my first reconstructive surgury on tuesday of last week. They ended up puting 4 titanium plates in my upper jaw to reattach my jaw to my skull. My face is still the size of a football from the swelling I'm numb from the eyelids down. Nose is just an ornimante at this time next surgury they look into a rebuild job on it. better days are coming for both of us I'm sure. Vince Putt
Aaronw Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I had mine removed last year, 2 in Jan, 2 in Oct. While it was not fun, it actually was nowhere near as bad as I expected. I took the vicodin the day they came out but only used tylenol after that for 2 or 3 days. I'm really glad I had it done, only wish I had done it years before.
Guest zebm1 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 When he removed mine, novacaine....then he climbed over my chest with these ugly looking pliers...crunch, crunch, crack...one gone, two gone three gone.....
Brian Fishburn Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 They put me under for mine- good call. I'm fairly afraid of pain meds- seen too many ppl get addicted. They gave me 20 pills of some really good stuff (Demerol) and 17 ended up flushed down the dumper. I was able to knock down the pain with Ibuprofen pretty quickly. Ditto on the not smoking thing. Dry socket is pretty excruciating. If I'd listened to that advice, 18 of the pain pills would have gotten the flush instead of 17.
Jairus Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 And this has WHAT to do with models? I thought ALL you guys wanted to talk about was models... yet it seems other subjects bring out a lot of responses.....
