MAKE SURE TO GET A SYRINGE! When you start eating again, food will start to get into the wounds. It's fine as long as you remove the food at night by using the syringe to squirt water at the wound. If you don't, the food will start to decay and you will get sick.

Congrats.
Had 2 out 4 years ago, they were bothering me so much I couldn't do anything except smack my knee and moan(literally). The last few weeks 2 more have begun to get rather irritated at times, but so far a simple brushing or aspirin has been all that I need. Within 3-4 months I'm sure I'll be begging a Dentist to rip them out though.
I hate Dentists(anyone who wields a needle actually), but when my mouth hurts so bad, I don't mind local anasthetic while the Dentist is trying to yank a problematic tooth out of my mouth. It seems quite satisfying to be there when that wanker meets its' fate!
Quick question about this. I need to get two removed (fairly impacted). Can anyone, preferably multiple people, give me an idea of around how much money getting two cut out with IV sedation should run. I have already gotten a price from one place, but it seemed high, and other places are reluctant to give me a "quote" over the phone. I don't really wanna shop around for something like oral surgery, but being a poor college student I also don't wanna get screwed. Thanks all.

For the less attentive among us: 2 wisdom teeth cut out + IV sedation, how much should it cost?

When I got my 4 wisdom teeth out (the doc said my case was pretty normal), I had an IV hooked up. I fell right out pretty soon after they hooked it up. I woke up 30 minutes later, not knowing exactly what happened. It was great.
Coming from a christian boy who's never touched alcohol or drugs, getting my wisdom teeth removed was a trip ..
They prescribed me Oxycodone and boy I got hit HARD by it. No pain whatsoever... I was definantly fubar for almost a week.

just have novacaine (lidocaine). that way they won't be so rough with you because you are conscious.Originally posted by: JohnCU
Only have to get 3 out of 4 removed since I had another tooth removed that is replaced by a wisdom tooth.
They are going to give me gas or something, will it put me to sleep, or will I just relax?
I'm not too nervous.

I had all four out at once, I didn't go to sleep for it. It's not as bad as you think it will be.
had 3 taken out, 2 were impacted deep, the other just partially. sucked pretty bad for a few days.
impacted means it grows like this: <-- horizontally towards teh front of your mouth, versus vetically | like normal teeth.
My two lowers are impacted, and its starting to really hurt now. I only have one wisdom on the top.
Imma try to just get local anasthesia if possible. Or the least amount of anasthesia. I would prefer not to go under, because I tend to be kinda resistant to anasthetics (they had to use almost 2.5 shots of lidacaine just to do a filling on one of my teeth a while back, when he said it should have been one. Though he did say that the most they could give me at once is like 6-8 shots) Shoot, maybe i'll just grab my vise-grips in the toolbox....
For a wisdom tooth(teeth) removal don't go for the general anesthesia. Complete overkill. Not only will you feel like sh!t from the anestesia hours later, but you will be constipated like crazy for the next few days. Definitely not fun at all and completely embarassing when you are paying the hot girl who works in the pharmacy for enema kits. (Don't ask me how I know this)
Go for the nitrous oxide gas...you will be so high that you will forget its an operation. I was laughing my ass off, they had to teoll me to stop laughing so they could operate further. When the doctor pulled out my wisdom tooth, roots and all dripping blood, I thought it was the funniest thing in my entire life. No clue why. I was actually begging the doctor to pull out more teeth so I could laugh more. Great stuff that nitrous. :laugh:

Doc shot me with a big dose of novicaine, took a pair of plyers & started rocking my jaw left & right, left & right. I was drooling down the side of my mouth, but didn't notice it. He eventually had his foot up on the side of the chair for added support. Once that sucker came out I spoke like Herman Muntster for a week. Not a flinch of pain though, the needle was dead on.

Damn, I have one that's comming in sideways like that. Strangely it has never hurt at all. They only one that's really caused me lots of problems is one that is only half exposed. I always bite down on it and pinch the gum and it gets swolen and hurts for a few days. Anyway got to get to bed. Getting them out tomorrow at 8AM.
Yeah that's how I got mine out overseas. I thoought it was pretty much painless. Afterwards it felt so refreshing!!!

novOcaine and lidocaine are not the same thing. Lidocaine is the generic name for Xylocaine. Novocaine and lidocaine are both local anesthetics but belog to two totally different classes. Lidocaine being of the newer amine class (which is used almost exclusively in dentistry). Novocaine is of the ester class which is not used all that much (only with allergies to amides). Procaine is the other name for novocaine btw.

I'm getting mine pulled out soon, ALL FOUR! They haven't grown out yet and are still under the gums. They're only going to give me the numbness shot. No gas anesthetic at all. My mom who is a RN nurse says they have to be in an operating room to administer anesthesia? They have to cut my gums open, then pull out the wisdom tooth and roots under the gums, then sew it back up. I WANT GAS!!
You dont' have to be in a full operating room for general anesthetic like you do in the hospital. The reason that those rooms are specially cleaned is because of the type of procedue done and the risk of infection. Oral surgeries have lower risk of infection than say and abdonimal surgery.
If you are nervous about the procedure relay that to your dentist/oral surgeon and discuss sedation possibilities ie gas or IV.
