I was going to the dentist (oral surgery) to make an appointment for the tooth removal, and they said: oh, we'll take it out right now grinhurt

\o/

So now, I almost can't move the right side of my face, and when I laugh it looks like I'm two-face xD Or like I had a stroke grinhurt

Well, at least that shit's taken care of Very Happy

I should take some pain med with me just in case Neutral

No warm or cold fluids for me for some times...

How long does this take to heal? I didn't have any stitching or so, altho they did pulled out the root, was pretty impressive Very Happy

How many hours since you left the dentist? I'd take those pain meds within 4 hours, or you won't have fun times inbetween the time when the local starts to wear off and before the painkillers kick in.

Cold fluids should be fine, but ice cream's the best. You'll get the hang of eating with only one side of your mouth pretty quickly.I at least had no pain the following day (left the office, took the meds after 3½ hrs or so, went to sleep) and it took about a week for the jaw to feel normal again (can be sore and rigid for a while).

One nasty bit for me was the clotting, on my right upper wisdom tooth - unlike the rest (which formed normal clotting in the empty socket), it formed this big bloody sack that just hung around freely from the socket. Imagine this moist, grape-sized ball of half-dried blood in your mouth and you have an idea. Laughing

It'll be rigid for a while, but the pain will be gone after a night. Just be careful with eating for a week or so, because the tissue needs to heal.

Had both my upper wisdom teeth taken out a little over a year ago. Sleep is the best thing to get over the pain right now, it was so sore both times that I couldn't have done any work even if I wanted to Smile

They took my wisdom tooth and the one next to it (wisdom tooth had grown into the other tooth and caused a major cavity).

They split the non-wisdom tooth with some torture instrument and a hammer into 4 parts and then I think the poor dentist almost blew a blood vessel, my roots are apparently very firmly attached. Then he attacked the wisdom tooth the same way and had even greater issues.

Then he took up something that looked like some kind of miniature lathe/grinder and he evened out the bone around the areas where the teeth had been. Strangest sensation ever even though I had 4 (!!!) syringes of local anaesthesia injected into the nerve bundle.

After all that was done he put some bio-organic pads in the hole that was left from the two teeth and sew it shut. Those bio-organic pads (or whatever they were) would dissolve and help healing the wound.

2-3 hours later I had such and unbearable pain that I wanted to blast my jaw off with a shotgun. Called dentist and got the local equivalent of solvable Tylenol 3 that I drank with a straw (vile stuff). Had to take double dose to dull the pain. Two tubes (25 in each).

I guess the pain was so immense because of having two teeth removed at once, with a lot of violent force as well as grinding down part of my jaw-bone.. A double-whammy.

Everyone has them. Even if they're not visible, it just means they're not growing enough to come out Smile

@ fable2: in most cases they're not removed due to caries, but because they're fucking with your other teeth.

O.o

Glad mine went pretty well.

I took pain med maybe an hour after it got removed. 600 mg ibuprofen Smile

The feeling of numbness in the mouth is totally freaky Very Happy I could move my tongue on the right side but I couldn't feel anything grinhurt

@Mister_s: I still have 2 left grinhurt

@Leo: well things were shitty lately, but I feel that everything will get better.

I went to enroll to my final year, and even tho the admissions are over - which meant I would have to cash in extra 30€ for that, I didn't have to pay for it ^^ So my day went better than expected Very Happy

I was surprised that they just went and took it out just like that grinhurt I was like: you are going to take it out right now?! But I'm not ready! grinhurt

Well, the sooner the better Very Happy

@huxanomaly2: well last night surely was about oral among other things Laughing

Doc said although my wisdom teeth are big I still won't need to remove em ever. Also have never had a cavity and won't get them ever apparently.

Wonder if getting wisdom teeth removed would be more painful than my tonsil surgery. I Hmmm guess not cause I couldn't even eat or drink with that surgery.

Great thread. Trying not to think about mine .. Laughing
One of my wisdom teeth is growing horizontally into the rest of my teeth. First dentist wanted to slice me open on the next visit, but due to a schedule mix-up I visited another dentist, who would only do so if I actually notice anything, cause in the last year, it hasn't moved.
Naturally, I agree with him. Even more so after reading all this Sad

My top wisdom teeth started coming through at about the age of 25. It took years for them to get to where they are now, but they aren't impacted. My bottom wisdom teeth started to come through a few years ago and they are impacted, I think I'm going to need to have them pulled soon. The thing that worries me most is having dry socket.. Everyone says it's incredibly painful!
