Ouch... Got all 4 of my Wisdom Teeth Out

I got all four of my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and needless to say its pretty painfull. Yesterday was a blur because of the anesthesia and all of the different meds. Today is a little better, but still a little painful. At least the doctor gave me some morphine, so I'm really not feeling much of anything right now.... what else can I do to heal up faster? I'm taking all sorts of pills, but I would like to see if there are any other things I could do to heal myself faster.

EDIT: Why am I so fvcking thirsty? I've drank a full liter bottle of ginger ale, a whole one of those big Gatorades, I'm half-way through a gallon of water and I'm STILL thirsty? What gives?

EDIT 2: At least this id giving me some time to watch some movies that I've wanted to see. I already watched Four Brothers, Black Hawk Down and I'm going to watch Domino and Ray later. Did anyone see Domino? It looked kind of good, and it has Keira Knightley in it 😀 which is a plus, but I haven't heard anything else about it...
 
Do you know what the dentist rated your teeth as (top and bottom)

Because i have to go get mine out in 3 weeks, and my tops are 5's and my bottoms are 4's (1 means the easiest to take out, 6 is the hardest).....and i know i wont be in too good a mood for a few days

Im dreading this......🙁
 
I think mine were pretty low, because I'm still young and the roots are on top or something. Also, getting them out isn't that horrible. Just make sure you eat soft foods for a couple of days (I'm living off of soup and milkshakes) and take some of the good painkillers your doctor will give you... I got morphine 🙂
 
Domino is alright....make sure to pay close attention to names and events, it can get quite confusing if you miss stuff. Overall not too bad of a movie however!
 
I had all 4 of mine pulled at once too.... and it sucked. Did you get the thing to blow water into the holes after you eat? 😛

LOL. wtf?
 
painkillers are effective. just err..use a food processor or blender and drink ur food for a while. maybe thats paranoid, but aths whati did 🙂 no suck!
 
well like i said, i've been eating soup, matzaballs and milksakes so far. maybe i'll try a little mac and cheese tonight...
 
Pu$$y. I had all 4 out same day too. Only painkillers after the fact were some tylenol 3s.

Be a man, man! 😉
 
oh yeah, and BigCoolJesus, just make sure that you take the ALL the painkillers extactly when you're supposed to. if you don't you'll feel it, trust me.
 
fvkin eh, I need to get 3 of mine out soon, I need to schedule a time. Not looking forward to it at all, but compared to getting 4 cavities filled, how much worse is it than that? 🙁

That depends on the person. I had all four of mine out and I was eating as soon as I got home. I also never needed to take any of the pain meds.
 
I just had mine out two weeks ago yesterday. It wasnt too bad. The first day (day of surgery) I kinda passed out from when I got home to the afternoon cause of the anesthetics. From then on I had my combunox 🙂heart😉, and advil. I took the Combunox until the Tuesday after (so 5 days), and then switched to advil. I started eating solid foods on the second day because apple sauce and jello wasnt cutting it. All in all everything is going well now. I can open my mouth almost fully, and I am not in any constant pain anymore. If I chew on something wrong I get a little sting, but thats about it. The biggest pain in the ass is keeping the sockets clean. The area is still a little swollen, but I never had any visible swelling, and no bruising, so I was happy.

Put it this way, when you get teeth filled, ideally the dentist doesnt drill in to any nerve tissue. When you get the wisdom teeth out, the doctor needs to make incisions in to the gums, and then goes to business. Your gums have plenty of nerves to set off. Also, the wisdom teeth are connected to the same nerve which runs all around your jaw, so if it isn't an easy/clean extraction, that nerve will get inflamed and be very painful without pain killers.

None of mine were impacted, and were growing straight, so my extractions were fairly straight forward.
 
Yea, it all varies.

My Brother-in-Law got all 4 of his out in one day, and 5 hours later he was at an OSU-Michigan party, eating nachos and pizza.

But my older brother on the other hand, he was pretty much a vegetable for 2 days straight. It wasnt the pain that did it, it was the fact that his teeth were so bad he bleed for the whole first day. He couldnt even drink for 8 hours because the dentist didnt want to chance him washing away the blood clots.


I dont fear the pain, i only dislike the fact that if i bleed like my brother, i have to sit there and spit up blood every 10 minutes....but i do look forward to the painkillers and endless movies to watch

Same here. I actually went out and ate at a restaurant with my gf the next day. Needless to say, everything was fine except when I tried to eat a salad. Freakin' lettuce hurt so bad.
 
I had all 4 of mine taken out at once...wayyyyy back in Nov of 1991 (senior year in high school). It sucked, but the pain pills helped a lot. Couldn't eat solid foods for a bit.

I can still feel the cavities with my tongue. Awesome.
 
You're a tool for getting them removed, unless you can give a good reason for getting them removed, I'll keep my stance on this POV. I hear of people getting them removed all the time and it's like WTF? Nature doesn't leave things there because it would be nice to remove, sure you've got the appendix(sp?) but it's been told that it resembles one of a cow's stomach, implying we had a different diet at one point, what about teeth? We still use em, why remove them?
 
err, no, its vestigal. evolution isn't about perfection sometimes, its about its about good enough. and sometimes that sucks
