Wisdom teeth? What are YOUR wisdom teeth stories?!
Question: I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday of next week. How did it feel getting yours out? Full length stories are fun to read, so if you tell me yours, I would be really grateful. I'm REALLY excited about getting mine out, I've been in a LOT of pain from them. How did your removal go? How many did you have removed? Why did you choose or have to have them removed? How were you upon awakening? I want to hear it all! :-)

I just got all four of mine out today. The bottom two had become impacted and had started pushing into my jaw bone and was causing severe pain. There was no openings to get them removed for nearly two weeks because all the high school kids had made appointments to remove theirs during their spring break so I had to get a prescription for vicodin to ease the pain until I could finally get them out. So I showed up today and told them I was anxious because I had never had an IV and I had never been put to sleep. They were extremely nice and cool about the whole thing and talked it all over with me. Because of the tooth being in the bone they had to push three different anesthesias by IV to heavily sedate me, they used laughing gas and they also injected my gums with local anesthesia. It was funny I was awake and joking with the surgeon and then the drugs hit me all at once and the best thing I can compare it to is when you sit down and drink a lot of liquor in a short amount of time and then you go to stand up and all the sudden you feel the drunkenness hit you well it was sorta like that but like 10 times more dramatic like the drugs hit and there was like a 3-5 second period were I was like wow these drugs are awesome I feel so ****** up and by the time I thought that I was already knocked out and i was like half awake but I couldn't feel anything, I could tell they were in my mouth and at one point I kinda like knew I was in pain but I couldn't feel it and I was kinda in and out of it and it literally only felt like it took 5 minutes and was almost like a dream. I finally woke up and the room was spinning and I didn't know where I was at and I felt like I had drank an entire bottle of vodka. I sat in a room for a few minutes and then they helped walk me to my car and my mom drove me home. By the time we got home within an hour the whole drunk/groggy feeling was gone and I started taking ibuprofen and vicodin and so far have not had much pain. Anyone who is afraid don't be the entire thing was easy, the surgical team was awesome and super nice, the entire surgery from the time they stick you with the IV until you wake up and they say we are done only took like 26 minutes and that was for all four teeth with one being lodged in my jawbone and making things slightly complicated so I can imagine for a routine 1-2 teeth pulled can probably be completed within 10 minutes. Just know if you have to get drugged up real good that you tend to talk a lot about anything and not even know it so you might say some embarrassing things and not even know it.
ouch ok this might be disgusting so im warning you now. i got my two wisdom teeth taken out and they werent fully grown so part of my gum came off too and my mouth wouldnt stop bleeding from the moisture in my mouth for days!
Like you, mine were causing me a lot of pain. I had all four taken out. I was so scared because I had never had anesthesia nor had I ever had teeth extracted, but it turned out there was nothing to be afraid of at all. I showed up at the oral surgeons, filled out some paperwork, brushed my teeth, rinsed my mouth with some prescription mouthwash that they gave me and then they put an IV in and that was it. I woke up 30 minutes later feeling a little groggy, but okay. I walked into a recovery room and sat there for a few minutes, then left with the person that drove me there. We went to steak and shake next and I had an ice cream sundae. The grogginess wore off completely within a couple of hours. Other than a little swelling and some bleeding, there were no complications at all. I was given pain meds, but only took one dose that same day. The next day I felt like going shopping and on the next evening I was able to eat normal food. I had the stitches taken out a week later, but you may not have to worry about that because many places use stiches that disolves.
Soooo, nothing at all to worry about and NO MORE PAIN!!!
Get a good nights rest the night before, find something relaxing to do for the rest of the day of your surgery, use your mouthwash and don
