Wisdom Teeth.

I had mine individually pulled, and I only needed Tylenol for one of them. They gave me gas and then novacaine for the extraction. He got out the pliers and yanked them out. No discomfort really, and they healed quickly.

Alright, this is coming from a dude that had his 2 upper wisdom teeth pulled no more than 2 weeks ago!

There's a HUGE difference...are your wisdom teeth already sticking out of your gums, or are they still under the gums?

As I understand it, if they are still under the gums, you are in for some pain! This is the procedure that makes people's faces swell up...not fun.

Personally, my teeth were already all the way out....they were already pushing my other teeth out of alignment. Anyways, I just smoked a bunch of chronic before I went in to calm my nerves(and if I died I didn't want to go out sober).

They took x-rays one day, and the next I came in to get them pulled.

I was also on nitrous oxide, which calms you down as well, so I was feeling pretty good! They just rubbed some cream on the inside of your mouth to numb it for the shots. Then the dentist gives you the shots.

He said I had "slow nerves", so he gave me a couple extra series of shots....I was super numb.

Then he tells you to close your eyes and "go to sleep", and proceeds to stick some wicked-ass pliars in your mouth and yanks out your tooth like it was a bent nail!

My first one went SUPER-SMOOTH. The second one didn't. I felt the dentist pulling and twisting on my tooth like he didn't even care...you can hear the tooth all cracking and stretching and stuff...it sounds disgusting!

The only thing my dentist told me was to replace the cotton in my mouth after an hour, and then after another hour if those cottns were bloody than put some more. He also said to not try and make them heal faster, just let them clot and heal on their own. He said to avoid bruching them, but that was it....I was ripping the bong like a champ within a few hours.

Also, I don't have any sort of insurance, so it cost me $400 to get both of them pulled, total-total.

Good luck.

I make the "find dental assistant" a requirement in my choice of practitioners. It should be listed as an item on the insurance coverage benefits form.

when i had mine out i had anastisia(sp) ive had alot of bad expearances at the dentists so the more out i am the better. ive had...4 baby teeth pulled, 4 wisdom teeth pulled, and 6 adult teeth pulled.

i had novacain for the 4 baby and that went ok, i had to be knocked out cold for the first set of adult teeth (4), IV sadation for the (4) wisdom and nitris for the last 2 adult.

i liked getting knocked out the best. i freaked out when i just had the nitris. if you breath through your mouth the effects wear off fast.

as for pain it dosent hurt all that bad. 1st day sucks pudding and yogert are your friends, 2nd day is ok agen soft foods. by the 3rd day my dintest wanted me eating solid foods chicken, mabe some hot dogs cut it up small and chew in front.

My sister had her jaw bone exposed for a few days. She was in alot of pain. I don't know if they were under the gums or not though.

I never want mine out!

Hey I get mine taken out tomarrow, all 4.

They are going to knock me out for it though.

2 are impacted, 2 are way up there. They said they have to cut them into sections and pull out the peices. I dont really care what they do as long as they do it right, and I cant feel it.

My girlfriend had hers pulled, and her mouth was swollen for a couple of weeks, and she said it hurt so bad she couldn't talk for about 1.5 weeks (I was kinda nervous when I didn't get a phone call in that time period).
She also had an expander put in, so that may have contributed...

When my sister had her teeth out. It was great, they gave her somethin, she really was jus gone, she was laughing a whole lot. But she was in a lot of pain when the meds wore off.

idk kinda dumb qustion. but do u gotta get them pulled.

I have 3 of them that are stciking out and one is still under gums.
