Wisdom Teeth

Stock up on peanut M&M's. They're they best after wisdom teeth surgery. ;)

I'm not sure what to tell you other than the fact that there are many things that hurt more. I had them split in my jaw to remove them and I was doing fine 24hrs later.

Nothing to worry about. Here's my before and after pictures:

Isn't that bad.

I was eating sammiches within a day or two of getting
them out (albeit with my front teeth).

Every day, right when you wake up, the pain is the
worst. Assuming you're prescribed painkillers, they
really do help.

My recovery took forever, and I bled for days, and the pain took a long time to go away. I guess I'm just a slow healer.


Fun Fact: the holes left over from the removal that are supposed to go away after 3 weeks are still there, 5 or 6 months later

Ugh they better knock me out during the procedure.  I can't even stand going to the dentist for a cleaning.

My experience was virtually pain free.  I took the pain pills and slept.  Rinse, lather, repeat for 3 days.  Never felt any real pain.  Eating was tricky at first but you get used to it quickly.

I was knocked out for mine. Apparently I wouldn't wake back up when they tried to get me out of the chair. It took them almost an hour when it should've taken only a few minutes. When I did come to I was vomiting all over myself.

Afterward I couldn't function worth a damn. I out-weigh my Mom by 50 lbs so she had to call my father to help her get me out of the car once we got home. I don't remember any of that day but was eating fine the day after. Didn't use any of my pain killers, but they also gave me some anti nausea tablets which were rockin.

As for pain, I don't think I experienced an ounce of it.

Yay pictures

Mine went fine.. I got totally put under with an IV. I woke up to a VERY cute nurse, who asked me if i can stand. I of course said yes and proceeded to fall down..

I got drugged up.. Stayed drugged up.. I hated the cotton after a while.. Bleeding stopped in a day.

Wasn't a bad experience for me.

They gave me valium IV, a sedation IV and Nitrous Oxide. Not shabby, then they gave me some legal opiates which weren't too bad either. I fell walking up the stairs to my house after surgery, my mother laughed at me. Hard. Oh well..

having your wisdom teeth removed is loads of fun...

My mom had hers out at thanksgiving last year, hers never came in at all and were all messed up and caused pain. She went to the oral surgeon, was put out and had them done, and if I need mine done thats how it will be, I HATE going to the dentist.
