I had five out at the same time, one out the roof of my mouth.

Also had a tooth taken out 2 days ago. I aint complainin.

 

[tfinch2]

Cry more.

I had all four of mine taken out too, and it wasn't that bad.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

i just took the 7.5mg hydrocodone they gave me. Also, tomato soup is the best thing to eat for the first week, easy to eat

People make a big deal out of nothing.

Just ice both sides of you mouth/jaw. Ice on for 20 min, ice off for 20 mins. repeeat. Take pain killers if prescribed. otherwise, take Motrin.

Oh suck it up... I had all four of mine pulled and I was fine.

Take some of the pain meds the doctor gave you.

I had the exact same thing done three weeks ago. The oral surgeon gave me oxycocet (codeine + acetaminophen) but it made me sick to my stomach, so I didn't use it. What worked well was a combination of extra-strength acetaminophen (Tylenol) tablets and ibuprophen, along with the antibiotics I'm sure your doctor gave you. I'm a pretty big guy, and with 2 tylenols and 1 (big) ibuprophen every 4-5 hours I wasn't in a great deal of pain. Also very important is that you ice your cheeks religiously. This goes a very long way towards reducing swelling and bruising. Seriously, ice the hell out of your cheeks the first few days.

Your doctor/surgeon must have sucked.

I had 4 out and it was nothing.

No need to get technical... it's simply Tylenol with Codeine.

Also, Ice your face... seriously. I didn't need to take the steroids for swelling, and I was fine just keeping bags of frozen peas on my face. Peas work well because they conform to the sahpe of your cheeks.

I had all 4 of mine out and was eating burgers the next day.

The only time I was sick was when my parents forced a pain pill down my throught. :|

ADVIL before the procedure, and ADVIL after when needed

Good idea. If the doctor gave you perks, they're habit-forming, so I would try to take Advil instead.

 

[PottedMeat]

Had 2 pulled out of the top, 2 impacted broken out of the bottom jaw - painful for a week. Never took any of the hydrocodone they gave me ( makes me nauseous ). The best thing was taking a bunch of advil - kept the pain down.

 

[JujuFish]

I concur with other posters here... suck it up and quit whining. It's only 4 teeth.

I had all mine out in the same day while concious. It didn't hurt at all, I only felt slight pain a little after. About 3 days later, I was eating like normal. I guess I got lucky.
