I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled and cut out

6/19/2008 11:08:36 PM

I'm having all four of mine taken out on Monday.

6/19/2008 11:10:06 PM

Did you or are you going to get put under or get nitris oxide

6/19/2008 11:11:29 PM

Dr. Stephenson on Wake Forrest Rd.

Cut two and pulled two wisdom teeth in one surgery.

Great surgery, no pain, no swelling.

6/19/2008 11:14:42 PM

welp.....
get medication for it. cause it hurts
you're probably going to be looking like a chipmunk for a few days
or like the caricature on the front of Big League Chew bubble gum

jello and soup will be your friends




and pray that what happened to me doesn't happen to you:
I received local anesthetic as well as an IV. Well, about 5 minutes into the operation, one of those two wore off.....and I could feel him slicing away at my gums, breaking my teeth, and pulling fragments out. I mustered up enough strength to tell him "OWWWW. WHAAAAARGGBLEEE AAAGHLABRLAHAAAH SPLASH SLOBBER LAHGRUALAHSLYSA SLOBBER" which means "OWWW. MAN, I CAN FEEL THAT!"

then he upped my dosage

6/19/2008 11:15:00 PM

im scurred

6/19/2008 11:40:45 PM

HIT MY WISDOM TOOTH I, KHUH..TEW, SPIT IT OUT

[/50cent]

6/19/2008 11:42:00 PM

I'm worried about mine, but my guy's mom is a dental hygienist and she's told him all about giving me excellent care.

6/19/2008 11:46:35 PM

ive had 8 teeth pulled, i was awake

4 wisdom teeth surgically removed, i was asleep

2 root canals, laughing gas - that shit is awesome

getting teeth pulled is prob one of the worse sensations... i did not like it, it didnt hurt but i just thought it was icky,

6/19/2008 11:51:34 PM

^^^^yea I've heard horror stories about that on 20/20, and these people were undergoing major surgery on their hearts and shit

6/19/2008 11:53:29 PM

the dentist who pulled my 8 teeth was responsible for my needing two root canals...
he hurt me a lot with other stuff

the endodontist who gave me the root canals was awesome, looked like my boyfriend except much dreamier, and when i told him i was "fine" under the laughing gas, he was like "heck, lemme let you sit with it a while, its a good high isnt it?" lololol, i love him so much

6/19/2008 11:57:08 PM

HEY
HERE's HOW IT WORKS.

TELL THAT DENTIST YOU DON'T WANT TO BE AWAKE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL ANYTHING. THEY WILL STICK AN IV OF VALIUM IN YOUR ARM. I KNOW VALIUM DOESN'T REALLY DO SHIT IN PILL FORM, BUT IN IV FORM IT KNOCKS YOU OUT LIKE A LITTLE BITCH.

THEN THEY START BREAKING YOUR TEEFS UP AND PULLING THEM OUT. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WAKE UP DURING THIS PROCEDURE. THE BEST PART IS THAT IF YOU WAKE UP YOU'LL JUST BE LIKE "DAYUM...THEY'S PULLING MY TEEFS OUT" BUT YOU WON'T REALLY CARE.

YOU
WON'T
REALLY CARE

AND THAT'S HOW IT IS. FO' REAL.

Yeah I had all 4 of mine surgically removed. I highly recommend being knocked out for this surgery, you do not want to hear and see the things needed to remove your teeth.

6/20/2008 12:00:19 AM

i dont have dental insurance so getting knocked out costs me an extra $500
im not sure if its worth that

6/20/2008 12:14:45 AM

nitrous oxide is

6/20/2008 12:18:20 AM

ppls would rather talk to their friends and not have anonymous fools beat chest

6/20/2008 12:19:00 AM

^^I'd say YES.

^that's not used to knock you out. IV FTW.

6/20/2008 12:19:32 AM

they cant use nitrous for everything

if you're having them surgically removed (they havent grown in yet) then i'd def get knocked the fuck out and yes it is worth every penny of $500 to not hear your freakin bones crack

if youre just having them pulled they'll load you up with novocaine - not as fun

6/20/2008 12:22:27 AM

oral surgeon with iv knockout, you wake up in your friends/families car and the shit is all over.

and pray you don't get a dry socket

Nope, but I had 4 root canals cause of an elbow I caught in the face playing basketball. Didn't really bother me, but I've been told that root canals hurt worse.

6/20/2008 1:37:18 AM

I had a root canal and it was not all that unpleasant. I haven't had my wisdom teeth out though, and I hope I don't have to.

6/20/2008 1:45:45 AM

I fell down on pavement and lost my right front tooth

6/20/2008 1:48:42 AM

I should have just stayed out at the bar.

6/20/2008 1:50:09 AM

THE bar

6/20/2008 1:50:42 AM

^^^recently???

^^yea, bars >>> tww

this happened on September 1, 1999 at 6 PM

that's right, I remember the time and date

6/20/2008 1:52:31 AM

TMI...either way, that sucks

6/20/2008 1:53:25 AM

oic

6/20/2008 1:55:40 AM

i only have 3 wisdom teeth

6/20/2008 5:19:38 AM

done it, hurt like hell.

6/20/2008 5:25:59 AM

Not gonna lie, hurt like a bitch. Mine were impacted and had to be cut and then yanked out. Only thing that saved me was the pain meds that knocked me out for like 2 days straight.

6/20/2008 6:05:21 AM

4 wisdom and 4 others for braces....only thing that really sucked was when they pulled the 4 for braces, I had to come back the next day because they maxed out on the numbing medicine...kinda sucked....


Wisdom teeth they put me under for and when I woke up I immediately threw up blood. I was worried about the dry sockets but I never got them.

I guess they will show you the video that you could die due to getting them pulled....

6/20/2008 7:15:13 AM

when they took my wisdom teeth out the doc kneeled on my balls

so I had swelling up top and downstairs

6/20/2008 8:15:17 AM

well if you dont have insurance you want to be awake because its gonna cost about 165 more to be knocked out. i had third tooth from wisdom pulled on bottom i didnt feel a thing when they hooked up the nitrous to me. only time it hurts is about 2-3 hours after when the meds wear off. they give you a pretty good prescription for the pain as well. but get used to letting blood drop out of your mouth every two hours when you change your gause pads. do not spit or you yell or put and stress on your mouth at all or you risk tearing your stiches out. good luck

6/20/2008 8:22:16 AM

don't smoke afterwards either

cause you'll get dry socket and be ornery as fuck for a month

6/20/2008 8:23:22 AM

I had two pulled without any anesthesia. That sucked.

6/20/2008 9:44:49 AM

^whoa,
well thanks everyone for the advice, im not as scared now....i think

although im guessing i wont be able to work for a day or two afterward, plus im gonna try to get the pain meds before and not after the surgery
otherwise i think im set

6/20/2008 10:59:31 AM

no reason to not be at work the next day unless you lift heavy things

6/20/2008 11:01:18 AM

^actually by the time i get this pulled im supposed to start a job taking phone reservations so i dont know if i can talk well enough or at all

and pudding

6/20/2008 12:02:05 PM

2 pulled (2ndary incisors baby teeth)
and 3 surgically removed (2 bottom wisdom teeth and one upper one)

none of them very bad, the last one hurt the most even though it took the least amount of time

6/20/2008 12:14:13 PM

four.

and then all four wisdom teeth. but those were cut out.

6/20/2008 12:28:38 PM

Make sure you check to see if your shirt's tucked in before they put you under

6/20/2008 1:06:46 PM

i had a lower sorta towards the front pulled when i was young with only a shot in the gums. wasnt bad but i could hear that fucker creaking and moaning on its way out. and wisdom teeth aint shit holmes.
