Wisdom Teeth Surgery Removal

[Skyenkit]

I had mine last year four of them in one shot. I numbed for 5 hours and after that it was ok. Didnt feel any pain too because I kept taking pain reliever . I didnt eat hard foods for a week that awful I only ate yogurt and puddings. Glad that was over!

My daughter is going to have them taken out.  I went with my college roommate.  She was funny~I never had any wisdom teeth! Glad it went so well for you!

I had mine out many many years ago. They had to be surgically removed, not pulled, which required anesthesia. I dont remember much pain, just sort of grossed out in my mouth.

I had mine taken out about a month and a half ago. Everything went well. Right after I was bleeding a lot, and couldn't swallow my medicine. Afterwards I was sore and my gums hurt so bad I couldn't eat anything solid. The medications made me sleep a lot. Luckily they were strong so I didn't feel a lot of pain. I had a great oral surgeon and I plan on going back to him as my regular dentist because he is both. Anyway, I'm glad yours went well also. It can be a stressful, emotional, and scary experience.

MY wisdom teeth were all impacted and they took them out all at once.  After the anthestesia wore off I was in a bunch of pain and was vommiting from the pain killers.  NOt a fun time

A lady I know actually had hers taken out when she was 7 months pregnant! I don't think she was under completely, but all her doctors said it was fine!
That was about 20 years ago, so regulations might have changed.

I had mine taken out when I was 26, about 28 years ago.  I had them out two at two different times.  All I had was a heavy dose of Novocaine and a light dose of nitrous oxide.

I even heard the drilling and what sounded like a jack hammer.  Afterwards, during the recovery procedure, I had bone chips.  The reason was that my wisdom teeth were impacted at

at 45 degree angle - all four of them.  So, mine was a painful and unpleasant experience during and also the recover, but it was great once they were out.

I just had my wisdom teeth taken out early monday morning and I feel great! I'm just really swollen...it feels weird for my cheeks and lips to be this big lol. 
I haven't been in any pain thank goodness, I just felt a few tingles today that didn't felt that great, but that's all. I'm also eating way better than I thought I would!
Have you had yours taken out? and how did you do with it?

Also..I got my Mom to video tape me afterward lol. I'll post the links to my videos if anyone is interested in seeing them! They're pretty funny!

I remember when i had a root canal,  that was very painful as well

Had my wisdom pulled out. They couldn't put me to sleep so I had to have laughing gas, numb my gums and started digging to get it out.

I'm terrified to get my wisdom teeth out I have had one that's been impacted for like 7 years and is the most painful thing ever, yawning is a challenge. However I'm too stubborn and scared to go to the dentist and isn't it expensive???

I have broken dozens of bones, dislocated fingers, had my knee ripped open to the tune of one hundred and seventy five stitches.  I have run over eighty five miles.  None of this compares to the pain I suffered in having my wisdom teeth pulled out.  I became conscious half way through the surgery to find my dentist sitting on my chest and chiseling away at one of my teeth.  I felt that pain for an entire week. If I had chosen to only have two extracted and come back to have the other two removed I would still have two wisdom teethin my mouth today-because I wouldn't have gone back!  Did you see the news last week about the dentist that regassed his patient during the procedure?  The patient ended up expiring three days later! No way!

I missed out on all that fun! My wisdom teeth never came in and the dentist says that I do not have any. Good thing since I am 58 now. I don't think I would get any wisdom from them anyway. My husband on the other hand had all 4 of his impact at the same time on a weeekend. He was in so much pain that he eventually bit down on the gums and was releived somewhat when all the gunk came out from the infection. Pretty nasty stuff. He was 21 at the time, and happpy to get to a dentist on Monday.
