Wisdom teeth???!
Question:
Wisdom teeth???
today my appointment was made to get my wisdom teeth out, but they aren't actuallly poking out of my gums yet at all....so they have to put me under to cut them out. my appointment is on monday and i'm kinda nervous....
anyone ever had this done before your teeth were actually OUT yet? how bad is it?
Answers:
That's the way mine were. Make sure you don't eat anything hard to chew (like meat) or drink out of a straw for several days or a week. And if the pain pills your doc gives you don't help, be sure to go into see him to make sure you don't have a dry socket, the most common problem with this procedure. The actual procedure won't hurt, and you'll be numb for most of the first day, so that's not bad. Just take it easy for a week or so afterwards, and keep plenty of cold, easy to eat food on hand (like ice cream, apple sauce, yogurt, etc.). Good luck!
