hmmmm......Should I fret?

I am having 4, count them 4, wisdom teeth pulled today. Luckily it is a serious, albeit short, procedure performed by an oral surgeon so I will be out cold.:moon:

The afternoon will be full of sunshine 😀 and big furry teddy bears😉

By the way:

If I wake while anaesthetized and a hot nurse is having her way with me, how big of a tip should I leave?😀
 
Lol... poor bastard... may the force be with you.

-Max

P.S. I hope the nurse doesnt look like Rosie...
 
I had that done (all four), and I was awake the whole time. It was alot less scarier then I thought it would be.
 
ouch, been done to me... it hurt... it hurt soo bad
only done with a local


and think of it this way, its more likely that the oral surgeon will be having his way with you than a hot nurse
 
didnt hurt me too much at all.
it was more psychologically painful that, after days, i still couldnt really eat the food i was hungry for.
and when i did i had to take it so slow...everything was cold.
but yeah, as suggested, dont worry about it. you got painkillers.

That'd work too, see if you can get by on tylenol & save the good stuff for when you can really enjoy it 😉

I cannot do that. I have some hereditary condition (appearantly quite common) that has left them somewhat horizontal, so appearantly it is somewhat complicated.

Yeah, I think the term they use is "compounded", since that's what mine were...all 4 at the same time and I got codine afterwards. Didn't really use it though, only took one or two out of the entire bottle.

And sadly, that was before I knew to save the rest 🙁 😉

I mostly spent last summer taking care of a very ill aunt of mine. She had gone through surgery to repair a hernia more than 10 years ago in El Salvador, (her bladder or something), and it ruptured again last summer. Basically, she was in a sh@#load of pain, and I was in charge of taking care of her and her medication, transportation etc.


Basically, I've the "uplifting" effects of percocet, so I will make sure not to operate heavy machinery for a few days.😀
 
If you take the pills exactly on time, or even 20min. early each time... you will never feel a thing, other than a swollen jaw.

I had all 4 of mine taken out, and I was put to sleep. I never felt a thing, and actually went to work the same evening (had it done when I was 17).
 
I hade all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out, and I followed the Oral Surgeon's directions to the letter, I didn't eat solid food for 1.5 wks. I had NO pain. The day of the surgery, I took 1 dose of advil. After that, no drugs at all, and only pain when I poked at it (bad idea :thumbsdown😉

My friends don't believe me, and gripe about all the pain they had, but they were dummies, and tried to eat solid food on day 2. :roll:

Not quite sure. I've never been knocked out or anything. I haven't even had my wisdom teeth pulled. (Only two came in, and they came in straight) But I wouldn't worry; they know what they're doing.
 
They gave me some phenobarbitol(sp?) which is a barbituate and I was more drunk at age 16 than I have ever been in my life from alcohol. I remember getting out of the car when we got home and my mother had to almost carry me up the stairs. I stumbled immediately onto the trash can outside when I got out of the car. Oh, yeah, back to the actual teeth extractions. THey did all four of mine at once a couple of them were compacted so he had to cut them out. The MF hit a nerve on one of the teeth and I thought I was going to die for the next few days. You can get rid of pain with painkillers but you can NOT get rid of those damned neverending nerve sensations.
 
Just 4 pfft. I had 9 teeth removed when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I had 5 extra teeth under my gumline.
 
i had all 4 taken out. they put me under for it. i was miserable the rest of the day. all the blood in my mouth and all that I swallowed made me really naseuos. Same thing with the painkiller (vicoprofen). I still took it, but I did not have a good time. it took almost 3 days for the bleeding to stop completely

😀 AHAHAHAHAHAHA...I don;t want to choke her now do I....





or do I? 😀 😉
 
I am terrified of the dentist. I make them gas me to the point of near hysteria. 😉

But it is not as painful as I thought, afterwards. The hardest part was not smoking... much. The pain pills are a big help. Just remember, it takes almost 6 weeks before it is fully healed.

Good luck, I dont envy you
