My wisdom teeth are going to be removed tomorrow.

[JTchinoy]

I'm so glad I don't have wisdom teeth.

Go get an x-ray at your dentist and get back to us.  They told me mine were never going to drop.  Guess what? THEY DROPPED!! the good news is I only had upper wisdom teeth.  I was only KO'd for 10 minutes.  I didn't realize the operation occured until i noticed there was gauze in my mouth.  >_>;;

I'm so glad I don't have wisdom teeth.

That's what my doctor told me... >.>;
Until 3 months before I turned 18, they were fully grown and impacted.... Lol...
Not to mention one of them were down really deep...

I suggest you get them pulled early so they don't grow down too deep.....

[Yuu]

Feel the burn, feel it! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

but seriously, hope that they give you the happy gas and not an injection.

Is there a difference? I mean I know laughing gas makes you laugh.......
I got needled... It wasn't bad at all.

The difference is that laughing gas does NOTHING to numb the pain.

The injection doesn't hurt much at all, at least not as much as going without.

[Mister_E]

Yeah the Laughing Gas made me a bit loopy before injected me through the IV (sp?)  I was wake for like 10 seconds then I remember I was halfway home when I woke up to the sounds of R.E.M.

Yep, general anesthesia is fun, but I avoid it whenever possible.

  One, I hate to not have control of situations

  Two, I have  been to a hospital nearly 50 times and not ONCE has the incompetent nurse been able to get an IV to work in the first five tries.
  But my loathing for Dentists seems to be impenetrable by 'laughing gas. So I just go with Novocaine, lots, of Novocaine.

[Mister_E]

It was funny, if I was awake for 10 more seconds I would of broke out into song, I've done it before drunk (Sung one of the theme songs to Eureka SeveN I think it was Taiyou no Mannaka he by Bivattchee at a party once.) it's kinda like the same thing just quicker.

[LordKefka]

With my experience, IV is only for people who just can't stand the pressure of being awake when the dentist is extracting your teeth. I have to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled but I'm going to sit through it awake (and hopefully alive..>_>) till the end.

I suggest your normal anesthesia with the needle. Give it 10-15 minutes and you won't feel a thing. If anything, it's what job-shadowing got almost 100 hours has taught me...-_-;

[Mister_E]

They are already out, got them removed friday. I was out for the whole time even though it took 5/10 minutes. I just don't like what's going on that's why I asked to be put out out.

[LordKefka]

5-10 minutes each? or you mean all 4? That's technically impossible to remove all of them while stitching your skin back up in 10 minutes...~_~;

Well... I guess at your age, removing wisdom teeth is fairly simple since they don't take root if you catch it early enough ( which it seems to be in your case). It's also a good thing they weren't impacted with your other teeth cause then it probably required a specialist to remove them.

Finally, you need to be knocked out? Wuss.. =D ..j/k.

But I hear ya. It's funny coming from someone like me who is going into the same practice to say I need to be knocked out too when I get my teeth pulled if it looks bad...>_>; I'll find out when I go back home this x-mas.

I don't know treally it was quite quick from what I heard.

yeah, I can be a wimp when it comes to pain.

Have fun with that.

shit, staying awake while they wedge teeth out of my jaw? i'll pass.  IV sedation for me.

[Rei-Rei]

Well when I went to remove my wisdom teeth, it was my second time going into oral surgery.
The other time when one of my teeth was under my gums...
So I'd say I'm pretty used to the whole Oral Surgery procedure...

The doctor still recommended me being IV and needled since one of my impacted teeth had a really long root and had a chance of damaging my nerves.... And so well, he IVed and needled me...

The funny thing? I actualy walked out of the office into the car, my sister drove me home, then I got out and went into the house, took of my shoes and went to sleep on the couch...
I woke up not having any recollections of this incident whatsoever...

[Mister_E]

I was still out when they where done, they wheeled me out to the car and my mom drove me home, I have a mouth full of guase and was chewing on them.  (I don't remember that's what she told me) so my Mom took them out they were already dripping with blood, I was saying works that were Jibber-Jabber then I was chewing the inside of my cheek so the inside of my cheek is a bit chew on and hurts a little.

[Rei-Rei]

so my Mom took them out they were already dripping with blood

Ew... Really... >.>;
She took them out for you? Like she really stuck her hand in your mouth to change them??

Well I never chewed on my cheeks... I didn't even have the will power to opem my mouth wide enough to fit the teaspoon of yogurt in my mouth... Let alone chew anything.

My incisions were all the way to my cheeks... How much did they cut up in your mouth?

She knews what she was doing she works at a Hospitial, and I was out so will power was in the picture. Just th good old fashion yank and pull and a bit if gum peeling. I've been eating Pupping, Yogurt and, apple sause just fine.

[LordKefka]

Maybe you guys should be dentists. You're all talking about this like it's a hobby  ???

[Mister_E]

Oh no thank you. Well if I get to pull teeth all day then MAYBE.

[Yuu]

Maybe you guys should be dentists. You're all talking about this like it's a hobby  ???

Oh god no. I couldn't. I'm sorry but I really belive Dentists to be pure evil.

Not because they torture you, ( I realzie that is sometimes nessecery) but because they are the only people I know who will drag 'you' ( even shcool-children for god's sake!) in at 8 am on a Saterday morning.

There is NO excuse for that shit. None.

Thre are better than the Hygentist though.
