Wisdom tooth removal

[jinxx4ever]

no problems for 50 years, then had to get rid of the top 2, they were easy. Hopefully the bottom never give me a problem. had to get rid of a molar last month though. Different story, they have a hard time getting my mouth numb, thought we would go the little blue pill that puts u out without putting u out. Was supposed to take an hour +, went under at 8:20am, woke up at 1:30 pm. Helluva an ordeal. Glad i don't remember it

I have 5. No shit, 5. Only one has come through but it's keeping it's ass tame at the moment (knock on wood). Considering a bad go-cart accident I had along with catching a baseball in the face when I was in my teens, teeth have held up well. Luckily I've only lost a ring finger (reattached) since then.

I have a buddy that went at his. Surgical pliers, hydrocodone and all. Failed, but not for lack of trying - he broke it to the point where he couldn't grab it any longer. Makes me cringe thinking about that. Still trying to decide if he is a pure bad-ass or messed up in the head.

you are a piker. i have had 5 out, and got lucky #6 still with me. fucking amatuers...

Had all four (two impacted) pulled while on a medical stop at Rota in the late 80's. One dry socket (which sucked).

Then had another four molars pulled 5 yrs ago in conjunction with a modified/experimental osseous surgery. The osseous surgery sucked way worse than having the wisdoms pulled. That being said, it has proven to have been a very successful procedure so far.

Had all 4 of mine pulled when I was mid 30s. I know that I was saying some stupid shit after the surgery. The nurse was hot, which I remember saying to her. But then I don’t remember anything until I was out in the parking lot with my dad. I could only imagine what came out of my mouth, as I have to filter 99% of what my brain is telling me to say.

Meh, it could be a lot worse. I had 4 removed about 35ish years ago. All was well, until I watched the news the next morning, and saw my oral surgeon being escorted out of his office, in cuffs, by a couple U.S. Marshalls . Turns out he was trying to have a business partner killed to collect insurance money. The partner was Sam Garrison, who was a minority counsel in the Watergate hearings. I later found out that they picked him up less than 30 min. after my surgery.

i dont like needles, told the doc this beforehand. he said ‘no problem’. day of, he puts the laughing gas on me...i breathed nice and deep...and that was the best damn high i can remember having. it was so good, i couldnt wait until next time i had to go in to get the other side done.

if you gotta have work done, dont cheat yourself....get the nitrous.

Just one. Its a cavity

Are you replacing it with boat tail or hollow point?

After the pull, if the prescription pain meds don't work, try Goody's powder. Those worked better for me.

If you can't chew, you can survive on milkshakes.

Rode from north of Zoji Pass , straight to the embassy dentist in Delhi with an epic dry socket once . Nearly
24 hrs only stopping for fuel . Found I could temporarily overload the nerve into inactivity by sucking cold
air rapidly over it : went kinda numb for a minute or two , big pain would build up again, rinse and repeat .
Dentist pulled it straight away no anaesthetic . Sucks being a contractor with limited medical....

Had 3 wisdom, and one upper pulled one month ago, Thursday. The wisdom teeth were toast, totally smoked. So, as if the liquid diet wasnt bad enough, I managed to contract some mystery illness afterwards, probably due to the infection that had been under the teeth. Here we are, 4 weeks later, and I'm finally on to good, solid, food. Between the teeth, and sickness, I lost a total of 18lbs in 3 weeks. I could barely move some days. Worst thing ever. Had 4 pulled once before, and was awake for those; oh boy did I ever have some bruising from that one. Guy literally held me down, and yarned on my teeth with all he had. No thanks. I believe the saying is "not me, not now".

I got one sideways ready to cause a shit storm.

Ditto. Had to break it into four pieces to extract.

Did it end up being free?

Of course not. IIRC it was paid for prior to surgery.

Had one pulled (excavated, more like...) by the VA in the 1990's.

It was the Intern's first extraction.

God!

Owing to some odd genetics, our family's molars, etc., have curved roots, which require they be split into 4 parts before each piece can be extracted. About 40 whacks into the procedure, the Resident stepped in, upped the Xylocaine, and finished it in five minutes using the burr to carve the remaining monolith into manageable pieces.

The Intern, a sensitive young woman, was sitting in the corner in tears during that segment of the program.

Sure as Hell, the post-op analgesia was a joke. Blood Barfs were the icing on the cake.

I had two of my four extracted in boot camp in 1982.
Back in those days, they were none too gentle.
They hit me with novacaine, smacked them with what looked like a center punch to loosen them, then pried them out with a little pry bar.
The other two were extracted several years later when I was stationed in Guam. Much better experience there.

I remember being wheeled out of the office by my dad and yelling to one of the nurses “HEY LAUREN I FUCKED YOUR ROOMMATE”

 

[craigos]

had 4 out in one day. Was completely under. Then got dry socket in two of them - hella of a month of pain.,

Fucking squid doc on Paris Island broke piece's of my jaw bone off when taking mine out.
" Ahh, you won't need that anymore" he said as he showed it to me then CLANK he tossed it into a metal tray.

 

[charnicus]

I’d rather someone put my wisdom teeth in and take them back out before having a root canal file broken off in my tooth again.
