Subject: Don't worry everyone.....I'm still alive. :)
Written By: Sister Morphine on 11/02/06 at 8:45 pm
I saw that quite a few of you wondered how I was doing, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing alright. I'm not in a lot of pain, which is surprising.....it just hurts to really open my mouth wide, but I can stick a utensil in there, so eating won't be a problem. I ate some soup and my sister bought me a milkshake from Chik-Fil-A, complete with whipped cream and a cherry! The nurses and my doctor were really nice, although that nitrous oxide is a trip. They give it to you to put the IV in and then once they do that, it's lights out about 2 minutes later. Although when you're on it, BEFORE the real anesthesia kicks in, listening to other people have a conversation is hilarious. You feel like you're 10,000 miles above the whole thing. Very trippy. ;) I haven't had to dip into the Percocet yet, and hopefully I won't have to, but if I need to.....I have it. I slept for a good chunk of the day since my nerves kept me up most of the night.
The only drawback is I have this antibacterial mouth rinse I have to use 2x a day and if you've ever wondered what peppermint-flavored ass sweat tasted like, I can tell you. It's rank. But it helps speed healing and make sure no germie-germs get in there and cause trouble, and I'm all for that. It also helps stop gum bleeding, which freaked me out because I went through a lot of gauze today. They said that even though removing upper teeth doesn't have the same bleeding issues that lower teeth do, some people don't clot as quickly as others, so it will take you longer.
So long story short, I'm still alive and I'm very grateful for everyone's good wishes. It meant a lot to be laying there knowing that people other than my family were hoping I was going to do well. :)

Glad it all went well as I told you in the PM. I think I'm starting to have issues with one of my wisdom teeth as well cause my bottom jam aches a bit on and off, that or I need a root canal or something. Oh god I don't even wanna think about it.

They won't do a root canal on a wisdom tooth. They'll just pull it. Any other tooth, depending on the size of the cavity they would, but since you don't need them to eat, they just take them out. I would go ahead and have it removed before it starts to give you problems like mine did me. Go see your dentist and have them do a panoramic x-ray.....that shows the wisdom teeth better than regular bite wings. They can give you better options after that. :)

Well this wisdom tooth is still under the gum, I have two wisdom teeth and the other two have not come up yet, I'm wondering if the wisdom tooth that has not come up yet is causing the problem or if it's the other molar that needs a root canal. Thankfully it's not that big of a problem yet but I probably should have it checked out I guess.

One of my wisdom teeth is sideways underneath the gum. The x-ray will determine if the molar next to the wisdom tooth has a cavity and that's what causing you pain or if the wisdom tooth is starting to erupt. It won't hurt to go see your dentist and find out what they think. I know I'm glad I did.

Well...I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well. :) Here's a karma point to help you with your recovery.
Edit: I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed six years ago; they were growing into my mouth in a crooked manner (ie, they were "perpendicular" to the rest of my teeth). Everything went well with that operation, and I could only drink milkshakes for the first 24 hours afterwards.

I went through the same thing about 5-6 years ago, had 4 wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. My dentist strongly recommended that I opt for anesthesia and I'm glad I did. Honestly, the first few hours after I got home was the worst, after that it wasn't that big of a deal. The only thing that really sucked was that I had these gaping holes in my mouth where my wisdom teeth used to be, and they gave me this syringe with a bent tip so I could flush out whatever crap might have gotten stuck in there after I ate, but after about a month they were all healed up.
Fun, isn't it? ;)

Oh yeah, it's a barrel full of monkeys. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.....I only had one tooth pulled. The next time I go in , I'm getting the other 3 done.

I have to say American dentists sound a darn sight more civilized than British ones!!! I had a numbing injection in the gum, no going under for me! No stitches and no painkillers, I was told to dose myself with ibruprofen, no antiseptic gargle either it was go home boil the kettle let the water go cold, add salt and gargle with that!! Mind you I believe if it's more than one wisdom tooth you have to go to hospital and have the full anasthetic. Thankfully I actually have 3 of my wisdom teeth missing, I have 5 teeth missing in all and still have two baby teeth, so I was saved the rest of them having to come out.

Even though I was only having one tooth pulled, there was no way I'd have it done without being knocked out. I'm real squeamish when it comes to stuff like that.
Your dentist sounded horrible!

Glad to hear it went well and you are not in too much pain.
I had nitrous oxide when I was giving birth and it made the whole thing seem a riot. Definitely to be recommended.

The problem in Britian is that dentists can no longer give full anasthetic in certain circumstances such as pulling wisdom teeth. This is because it is difficult for them to maintain an open airway when they have to reach right into the back of your mouth. If the wisdom tooth is such that the dentist feels he maybe have difficulty removing it then you are referred to the hospital so you can have the full deal. Hubby is currently on the waiting list to have one or two of his wisdom teeth out.

You'll be fine by Sunday, trust me.
I had the bottom two taken out when I was 21, under anethesia. It took them about 45 minutes since they had already popped out of the gums. They hurt later on, but by the third day, I was fine
Then last year I had the top two taken out because they were causing me to have headaches. The dentist did it with just the numbing injections. I was awake. I could feel him drilling holes into the teeth to get a grip on them, and it felt weird. It didn't hurt, but you could feel what he was doing and when the tooth finally popped out. I tell you though, it was a relief to get them out. They were hurting like crazy. The pain wasn't bad at all, either. Just a dull ache that was easily remedied with a Vicodin.

Glad to hear things went well. If you're still bleeding quite a bit, though, don't suck on anything through a straw because it "pulls" the clot out of place (can't think of a better way to say it :-\\).
I had all of mine pulled 6-7 years ago. I was fully awake, but numbed like crazy. They were all through (and not crooked or sideways or anything like that), but I couldn't get the toothbrush to clean the back of them because they were so far back in my mouth. Needless to say, they started getting cavities and hurting so out they came.

I still have my wisdom teeth, they're not causing me any problems (thank heavens), but I have had my four front teeth removed well over ten years ago. They were growing in front of each other, and I couldn't keep them clean anymore. (Should've had braces when I was younger... :\'()
Anyway, my dentist extracted them under local anaesthesia, and it didn't feel that bad. Well, not until anaesthetics wore off anyway... :-\\ :o For the rest of that day I really really REALLY wished I had my teeth back. Luckily the excruciating pain only lasted about a day.
...well I was trying to cheer you up. ;)

I have cavities in 2 erupted wisdom teeth that are left, and the one I had pulled had a real nasty one. The bleeding has stopped .....you would have thought I was shot from the amount of bloody gauze I had in my trash can. The last thing I want is dry socket, so I'm being very careful with that.
Mine weren't pulled; just surgically removed, that's all.
This was a surgical removal too, you know. They had to cut the gum and root around to pull it out since it wasn't already loose.

That can happen. My lower-right wisdom tooth is crooked in my jaw. The next time I go in for a consultation, I'm going to ask him what the chances are of it erupting later in life. If there's no chance it's going anywhere, I don't know if I want to add more pain onto my plate.

I had a great doctor and great nurses who made it go as well as it did. Are you doing general or a local? If it's not that much more expensive, I'd go for general anesthesia. Whether you do one or the other, it should take the same amount of time, but it might be easier on you if you're just knocked out cold. At least, I know it was for me. ;D
I still have 3 more wisdom teeth to get removed, but I'm going to do all those at one time as soon as I get insurance.

What would I possibly need a wisdom tooth in a jar for?
I can't believe I'm even having this argument.

I didn't say you couldn't ask questions, it's just that the questions you were asking were a little off. Oral surgeons don't clean teeth; that's a dental hygienist's job and I couldn't see my dental hygienist until I had the surgery. I didn't keep the tooth because I have no need for body parts that aren't on my body anymore.

So they're 2 different occupations?

Well obviously. An oral surgeon's job is to remove teeth that a dentist cannot.

I should say that oral surgeons do more than just teeth removal. They can also do facial reconstruction and surgery involving the jaws.

Yeah, but only when I absolutely need to. They're narcotics and I don't want to run the risk of becoming dependent on them.
I doubt you'll become dependent on them. I've taken stuff (as in narcotics) for pain and if it's not in your nature to become dependent of such things, then you should use them for their intended purpose.
