4 Impacted Wisdom Teeth Getting Pulled?!
Question:
4 Impacted Wisdom Teeth Getting Pulled?
Ok I am getting 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow morning. I am literally scarred to death. I am shaking in my pants. Does anyone know what this feels like and have any tips? What is the pain rating from 1 to 10? THANK YOU!
Answers:
They literally knock you out. You don't feel a thing. The pain starts after the anesthesia wears off. You'll have pain pills of course to help with that....it'll last a few days. Don't try to eat anything like pizza or burgers cuz it just won't work. Hopefully you like soft cold items, like yogurt, applesauce, popsicles or soup (hot of course).
I strongly suggest you follow the orders given to you afterwards. You'll have to clean out the pockets with a squirt of water....do this thoroughly so infection doesn't set in. I didn't do this and had a serious infection and THAT pain was worse than after they were pulled.
Just be sure to have some there who can drive you home. After about a week you'll feel much better. It's scarey I know but the worst part about it is fear of the unknown. Honestly you'll be fine.
