I had 2 of them inbedded inside of my gum so they had to be surgically removed. Thank god for painkillers and tranqulizers :)
It took me about 3 or 4 days until I could stop taking the painkillers. |

I'm not sure but in France they make it a much more important operation so you're in tip top shape when you leave ... kind of ..
you sleep in the hospital the night before operation starts freaking early...
I remember waking up after being under anesthetic for 3 hours and the guy next to me was bitching and the only thing I could do was tell him to stfu :stongue:
Had 4 teeth pulled out ..
That evening I was out on a bicycle doing some graffiti and 2 days after I was on an airplane moving to the USA :toothless
Hardcore
I personaly felt a little numb but not really pain :disbelief |

| No and I don't recommend it unless they're causing you serious problems. The wisdom teeth scam is perhaps the most egregious abuse of the trust patients place in medical professionals. |

i had all four of mine taken out and also took two friends to the oral surgeon to get theirs removed too..
so i suppose you could call me an expert on the subject :D
swelling persists for about a week, but after that you should be fine. you'll notice them healing more and more each day and every day you'll be able to open your mouth more and more.
you'll get all kinds of food stuck in that damn hole though. it's such a bitch, but your dentist should have given you a tube to squirt water in them.. if he didn't i would call him up and get it. if food heals in there you're gonna have problems.
good luck man!

| friend of mine had hers taken out last tuesday, hers stopped hurting probably by saturday, and now she can eat fine, luckily for her she works at a dentists office, so if she needs to take food out of her holes it's easy. ;) |

| it's not that bad, it hurts like a bitch for the first day and then you get over it. Don't take tylenol 2 on an empty stomach tho.. |

| I was told I needed to have them out when I was like 18 or 19. I failed to do that and am now 25 and have yet to have any problems. I'm not doing about them until they cause me problems. They have grown at an angle in, but don't seem to cause me any problems. Food gets stuck in there every once in a while and it's annoying to get out, but no big deal. |

i had 3 surgically removed, doc couldn't find the fourth one...
i rolled around in bed for a couple of days but didn't take any of the vicadeine (spelling?) prescribed to me... i think i sold them to a local addict... |

No - I was real close to having them taken out a few months ago, but $1200... c'mon...
They're not even really bugging me much a all - only occaisionally when I chew ice with my molars or something like that.
Though I did have a damaged salivary gland operated on... The doc gave me some Vikkoden and a few days after, I took one (just for the hell of it) and went on a mystical journey while listening to Magik 3....
Good times :D
Now where did I put that Vikkoden? :toothless |

OMG, man, what an experience.
The dentist had me in the chair, we were all ready to go, and then he turns to me and goes:
Sean- I'm not going to lie to you, b/c of your situation theres about a 15% chance that I could hit this nerve, and you'll lose feeling in the lower part of your jaw forever....just to let you know so if it happens I'm not responsible.
I was hooked up to this pulse reader, and I was level at about 80 until when he told me this I jumped to like 145 or something, it was like beep-beep-beep-beep (crazy beeps, like a Da Rude song). I was just like, why don't you give me the novicane right now, and everything turned out ok.
And then my cheeks were all ed up making me look like a chipmunk for about a week, but it all went back to normal. Make sure you buy ice packs before you have the surgery so you can ice your jaw when you get home. |
