I had all four done..... Nitrous oxide for starters, nice little japanese garden outside the window. LA la la ......la gone*
I woke up in a cot in a different room. I ask " how did you get me heeear?"

" Oh, you walked"

RIGHT. I remember nothing about that journey😀
 
pffffftttt... please. I got it done on novacaine only. I went to work the same day I got them out and I was eating hard food by the next day.

Only a wuss needs to be put out.

Just the two wisdom teeth on my right side took 6 hours and I was awake the whole time.

Fvck the "only a wuss needs.." haters like yourself.

It was beautiful. They ran an IV and I was out very quickly. I woke up after a quick operation (6 hours? hahahah) in which all four of them were removed. Had very little bleeding, zero swelling. I wouldn't change a single thing.
 
Ouch man. Hope you enjoy the vicodin and the milkshakes. The one thing you need to remember is do NOT use a straw. That ****** will hurt like nothing you can imagine.
 
Yeah they told me using a straw causes suction which can remove the blood clot from the wound, causing it to open up. Ah, cant wait for the salt-water rinse tomorrow!

Skyking - Lol, same here! They gave me laughing gas and I remember an IV being stuck in me and me talking in slow motion to them, and the next thing I know I'm sitting in a wheelchair. Then after that, I dont remember getting to the car or the drive home (my dad drove), or me peeing all over the toilet seat when getting home! Lol, didnt find out about that till my sister went to use the bathroom.
 
All four impacted, nearly went into cardiac arrest in the recovery room after the surgery, don't remember anything of that day except laughing hysterically at my mother when she walked into the living room and her saying "drugs are good, aren't they" and me just smiling and nodding.

The next week was a b*tch and my swelling didn't go down for about 2 weeks... my best advice is ICE like you've never iced before.

these threads always seem to turn into an epenis circle jerk.
Yeah... I know some of you are so manly that you could saw your own head off and laugh it off, but no one really gives a fvck.

Anyway, enjoy it OP. I need to have my top two out pretty soon here, I plan on sitting around getting tore up all day. :thumbsup:

Like others have said, it all depends on the person. I refused to take any painkillers and yet I hardly had any pain at all. I just slept on the couch, drank milkshakes, and watched movies all day long. By the time day two rolled around I could hardly even tell that I had them removed.

your name is PUFFANDTUFF

... and oh man, let me tell you, Vicodin is the sh*t!! This is my first time taking this stuff and it works wonders!

They pulled out the bottom two and my bottom lip is still sorta numb. I hope they didnt damage a nerve since they said the nerve canal is right by the root. Guess only time will tell.

HAHAHA, man I just got my out too. I had all 4 of mine surgically removed Mar. 23rd. It was hell for me, the anastisia made me so sick I couldn't keep anything down that entire day, so that meant no medication 🙁. So now I have a bottle of Hydrocodone left over 🙂. I went back last Friday to get the stitches removed but my mouth is still sore. Lots of fun....

Sorry to burst your bubble, but once the Vic wears off... have fun. I lived on Milkshakes, Mashed Potatoes, Jello, Yogurt and Water for a few days.

fvcking pvssies...i was eating steak and potato chips later that day after i got ALL 4 of mine out. 😛
it may have been the next too possibly, but still...pvssies, the lot of ya.
 
I still have all 4 of them, and they dont need to come out... I consider myself really lucky...
 
i had 4 pulled the same day...was in work by 9am and had lunch (I was not supposed to work nor eat a regular lunch).

I didn't need any painkillers other than a couple OTC's. I had a couple complaints that if I didn't want to have my percocet filled I could have let them have it 🙂.
