Title: So I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled monday...
Post by: JTchinoy on June 27, 2008, 08:45:58 PM
3 days away, I'm very scared :(
It's the knowledge of what'll be done to my mouth after they KO me that has me scared.
><;;
and for reference to moonkin:
turns out my right wisdom tooth did grow a root into a cone shape.  my left wisdom tooth will be drilled out (didnt drop yet, still in my jaw), but i noticed the root isn't really developed and it's about as wide as the crown  ??? will this be problematic?

You'll be O.K.  It's really not as bad as you're thinking it'll be.  Make sure to avoid straws, eat soft food and keep your mouth clean. 

It'll be done with soon.   :D

ya im gonna stock up on some baskin robin and popsicles on sunday. :)

yes im a pansy, im sorry the idea of someone drilling out my gums and jaw bone makes me cringe.  and i also had 4 molars pulled when i was in the 3rd grade so pardon me for having terrible memories T_T  i was too young to be put to sleep at the time and i had to be conscious while they pulled them.  the memories of bone crunching and nerves snapping isn't pleasant. ><

man if i forget to take my vicodin i so will cry!! T_T it'll be like headshot!! >_> pun intended

I was awake when they took mine.  There were drills and breaking teeth from jaw...and yeah all the nastiness.  You're allowed to be nervous.  But I'm sure you're going to come thru just fine.  It's different then having molars out...and you're a lot older, more mature and your mouth is bigger then when you were in 3rd grade.  That's going to make a huge difference.

Relax.  Have a good meal on Sunday to celebrate the last meal with your wisdom teeth.  You'll be back on your feet by next weekend.   ;D

Good to know you where just joking. but really I was almost hit by someone who had just gotten out of the dentist office. I was crossing the road (I was not driving but walking at the time) and just made it to the other side when a car came out of no where and smashed into the other car that I just passed. But as far as getting teeth pulled... well seeing how you will be out for the whole thing lucky you. I have been only knocked out for one of them and I still have one wisdom left to be pulled. But seeing how it is not crowding my other teeth and it is healthy I am leaving it alone for now lol.

Oh god, honestly... I'm really bad with physical pain when it comes to dental operations. So many bad memories...

I haven't had my wisdom teeth pulled out, yet. They're beginning to grow, though. How annoying-- and I had thought I would get an extra year or two. Anywho, I do hope the operation isn't bad. Since I can't speak from experience, you can forget about me trying to comfort you. lololol. =P

Tell me how it goes, though. I sure hope it's just as easy everyone else here says it does. I'd hate the sore feelings and not being able to eat properly. Oh well, at least you get Vicodin. I'd say that's worth something.

Yes, pain, excellent.

Um, I mean pain, bad.

well that was a confusing experience.  the had me lie in bed and strapped some heart monitors to me and put an IV that would KO me.  i was like ok, closed my eyes while they were still prepping and then it felt like 30 seconds later and they're like you're all done.  i was like wut? o.o  i noticed there was gauze in my mouth, but damn i thought they were still prepping.  my teeth don't hurt really, took a pill of vicodin and im not really drowsy at all.

so to jun, nothing to worry about o.o  i'm still confused as to how it all happened since it felt like 30 seconds.  apparently it only took 10 minutes cuz my bro left to go buy some food but halfway there they already called to say i'm done.  gauze in my mouth right now and i have the hiccups.   so... yeah.  o.o i feel like i can go out and about today but im going to just stay at home =)

Aw, thanks JT. I've been feeling that I need to get mine pulled soon, since I don't want my teeth to unstraighten. How much did it cost you, anyway? My insurance is terrible, unfortunately, so it's a bit inconvenient for me... Tell me how the pain and whatnot turns out after a couple of days. One thing I've experienced is insignificant soreness at first... then huge pain after and difficulty later.

Post by: JTchinoy on June 30, 2008, 06:55:42 PM
Well it should've started hurting a lot today.  When the numbing from the operation wore off, it was a slight discomfort at worst.  It hurt, but nothing that would stop me from daily activities.  After I took the vicodin, it doesn't hurt at all.  I only had 2 teeth removed (top) and they were maybe slightly angled.  I might go out tomorrow if nothing changes in terms of pain.  My only current discomfort is there's 2 fat pieces of gauze in my mouth :P

If you have bottom wisdoms that need to be removed, then it may hurt more.  I hear it varies from person to person as well.  My bro was out and about after 2 days, his friend's gf was out the next day, but his best friend was down for a week. o.o  I'll update tomorrow to let you know if it hurts more.

It cost me $1072, but THEORETICALLY my insurance will cover 80%~ of it, which was $837.  i just wrote a check for 235m which is my estimated cut.  hopefully my insurance covers more when they bill the insurance so i get partial refund :)

vicodin may make you a lil nauseated >_> had to lie down just now ><

Nope it shouldn't be. When i had mine out, non were developed yet. i had to be sliced and drilled out as well. You'll do fine. Just remember you drool like a fool for the first few hours after @_@. Sorry for such a late reply. I have been away from the forums for a bit.

start reading more, it's already done XD

no i didn't drool neither.  I was slightly dazed, but that's about it. ;D
still dumbfounded as to why it took me only 10 minutes to get finished ???
im on ibuprofin now.  it hurt a lot yesterday so i was on vicodin, but it doesn't hurt really now, so i'm on the weaker stuff. :)
i wasn't even bedridden much yesterday, spent my day online... again...

Yep, that's how all surgeries are.no matter how much time they take.
I always made a game of trying to catch myself falling asleep but never did.  Surgery is not nearly as scary as anyone makes them out to be.
The worst part is the people at the hospital making such a big damned deal about it.
I bet they scare patients far more than if they'd just let them be.

the images of them drilling the teeth out scared me =X
it's been what? 4 days since the operation?
i'm avoiding using the back of my mouth for chewing, but aside from that and taking my penicilin im back to normal.
2 wisdom teeth ftw!!
