Sucks ballz I thought they were going to perice my gums all the way down to my nerves with a syringe. And I was at a University/Hospital so I had 4 people when things got rough.

At least I'll have an excuse to not eat two whole turkeys


Edit: So after a bit discussion with my mom. She felt that I should've held back on pulling my tooth near my wisdom teeth which also had to be pulled. She expressed concerns in the future because I am still very young. The reason being was because there was an expanded area(gums) back there. They said it was a leasion and they'd had to pull some stuff out and cut a piece of gum to look under a microscope.

That being I had to do multiple xrays and a final CAT scan facial Xray.
And I went to Tuffs New England Medical University. Possibly they wanted my sh1t for research?

I am really lost about this "expansion/tension" deal. They said that was the reason for taking your 2nd molar along with your 3rd (wisdom tooth) ?

What about this lesion? Is it possibly cancerous? I can't figure why you needed a CAT scan xray unless you meant a panorex.

Dental students did your work by any chance?

Because they wanted to get better xrays. They couldn't really see the back very well.

The last regular tooth next to my wisdom (on the left) had an expansion in the gums. The very back of the gums was bigger than my right. It started to hurt a little.

Yes dental students

they did a cat scan cause they couldn't really see the back very well? are you sure it was a cat scan or just a panorex xray?

Sounds like your retromolar pad (tissue behind the wisdom tooth)was infected and swollen. This happens when the wisdom tooth is only partially erupted and there is a pathway for bacteria to get under the gum.
I still see no reason for them to extract your 2nd molar (tooth directly in front of your wisdom tooth).

Yes dental students

You should call and ask them to read your chart to you over the phone b/c you'd like to know why exactly you went in to have a wisdom tooth out and two teeth were taken.

People respond to pain meds a lot differently you know...

And the procedure for taking out wisdom teeth can go from easy to complicated depending on the circumstances. more complicated extractions, of course, are going to be more painful post-surgery.

Not all wisdom teeth are the same. Mine were murder. This is coming from someone who passed a kidney stone in a public bathroom.

I had a stone a few years back, the longest 2 hrs. of my life, ambulance had to
take me to hospital.

Was this a planned visit for the extractions, or an emergency visit? It sounds like they found an unusual growth and did a biopsy. In a biopsy they cut a piece of the tissue and have a pathologist examine it microscopically. They want to make sure it is not something cancerous.
