Wisdom teeth,braces,and a cavity :[?!
Question:
Wisdom teeth,braces,and a cavity :[?
Yes... I have all three! :[ I think I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed soon and today I discovered that I have a cavity. I also need braces. Would it be possible that when they put me under to remove my wisdom teeth they fix my cavity and put on my braces? I know it will be painful but I'm already 16 and I don't want to wait any longer to get my braces!
Answers:
ok, cavity...never had one, but they are done by dentists.
braces, they dont' hurt to put them on...they hurt later that day, and they won't put them on until after your wisdom teeth are healed. Orthodontists do that.
Wisdom teeth, Oral surgens do that and how much pain you're in depends on the doctor. I had 4 done at once, 2 partially impacted and the only time they hurt was the next day when I was in the car. Advice....sleep as close to sitting up as you can, if the doc offers prednisone (spelling) then take it, it's a steroid to keep swelling down. I also got two valuims to relax me so i could sleep the night before and be relaxed going in the morning. I was put to sleep during the procedure. To be honest, my pain at any given point was never higher then a 1 out of 10. DO NOT stick your tongue in the holes....my friend did that and was in pain for 2 weeks cuz she was preventing the holes from healing. I only took 3 of the pain pills the doctor gave me. one before the local numbing wore off and then two the next day when i got out of the car.
