Does it hurt when you get your wisdom teeth taken out? |
Issue I am getting all four of my wisdom teeth out in a few days and i am a little nervous because my mouth will be numb but i'm not getting put out. Plus, they are apparently still partly attached to the bone so i'm going to have to hear them saw through bone. Anyone else been through this who can let me know what to expect? Best Tip When people ask for encouragement about getting their wisdom teeth out, I like to share this story about my three children. I removed two of my older daughter's wisdom teeth at 2:00 in the afternoon and told her to go home and lie down until dinner time. Before I got home, she had already left for the mall! I was rather angry, because I figured that she'd be moaning all night long and asking me what to do for the pain. Much to my happy surprise, she seemed just fine. She said that she waited until the numbness started to go away and she felt pretty good, so she decided to get up and go. Same thing with my son. We were actually headed home from a drum lesson and he asked if we could stop in the office to check out the sore place in his mouth. It turned out to be an erupting wisdom tooth. He asked if I felt like taking it out right then, so I did. (I was afraid he might change his mind if he thought about it overnight.) His mom didn't even know he had a wisdom tooth taken out until he had to take the gauze out of his mouth to eat dinner. His uppers were both kind of difficult and he had trouble healing with one of them (sinus involvement), but that didn't last for more than 3 or 4 days. With my third child, I took her to the oral surgeon, because the roots were sort of close to the nerve and _I_ didn't want to be the one to cause her any trouble if things got difficult. She had nitrous oxide and little bit of iv sedation and had all four removed at once. I wanted to get her right home, but she asked me to stop off at the mall before we went home. She insisted that she was okay. Instead of going home and lying down, she walked through the mall. Yes, she was biting on her gauze packs (in the mall!), but still she was a lot more active than I would recommend. She had no trouble at all healing. I think she went out that night, too. (It was 1999, so I don't remember the details.) I'm not saying that they are ALL like this, but there are wisdom teeth and then there are w*!`S^D@m TEETH!!! I always say that wisdom teeth (and root canals, by the way) are like teenagers. At least 90% are no trouble at all, but everybody talks about the bad ones. Also, see http://www.webmd.com/hw/dental/tm6328.as... Others you are stupid for not letting them put you out, i did, and i was fine till about two hours after i woke up, then i felt like a train had hit me and that lasted for 3 days. but you get over it. like anything else. when i got mine cut out they wasnt even threw and all can say is i was on cloud 9 for about 3 days i felt really good dont worrie about it everything will b ok I never developed Wisdom teeth, but I do know it can be painful afterwards because they might stitch your gums etc. I'm sure they'll numb you really good, you probably wont even know whats going on and the dentist will talk to you to help keep your mind off the "sawing". I think the worst part is having your mouth open the entire time. they usually put you under gas because it can be deep rooted I was totally knocked out so I couldn't tell you if it hurt, but afterward ouch, I was miserable for a few days drinking liquids, ect, and slowly I recovered. NO worries. once the anticeptics are in, you feel nothing. in fact, you can get a mirror from the doctor to WATCH yourself. YES you will see lots of blood... BUT you won;t feel the pain at all. Go for the surgery in the evening after food brush teeth. then go for it after that, go to bed the next day will be ok |
