hoosieranna Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Got mine out when I was 16. Apparently I wake up mean from anesthesia. My mom still laughs about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin86 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 [quote name='T-Bone _' post='1667643' date='Oct 2 2008, 12:41 AM']I had six. I was extra wise.[/quote] Unsurprising. Just from reading your posts I could tell you had a big mouth. [quote name='Balthazor' post='1667688' date='Oct 2 2008, 01:30 AM']Ok. My wisdom teeth experience: Got a novacaine shot. Got all four wisdom teeth pulled. 4 hours later swelling gone and I was eating Gardetto's. No pain meds.[/quote] Dang. You're one tough broad. [quote name='the_rev' post='1668700' date='Oct 3 2008, 09:08 AM']Dry sockets haven't devoleped yet, (at least I don't think they have) and I feel fine. When will I be out of the clear for dry sockets? I had the surgery tuesday at 2. Feeling great, taking pain killers at night to sleep well though.[/quote] Typically, if you haven't developed dry socket within 72 hours after the operation you're not going to get it. [quote name='Sacred Music Man' post='1669225' date='Oct 4 2008, 12:03 AM']I feel my wisdom teeth coming in on the top... I'm afraid to get mine out too [/quote] Wuss. The tops should take like 20 minutes if you get an experienced doc. I've never even seen anyone come down with dry-socket for their upper wisdom teeth before. Be man, get your teeth pulled.

CoffeeCatholic Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 After i got mine done I asked my mom if I could drive home... as she and the nurse practically lifted me into the car. Then once I got home, mom went back to school (teacher) and left me with my dad who had his office in the room right next to my bedroom at the time. Mom specifically said "make sure she doesn't stay in on position" since I was OUT. He forgot, and when mom got home, I had bleed through the entire pillow and into the bed. Yeah, gross.

Didymus Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 the stitches were the worst for me. The pain was incredible. The had sewn my gum to the inside of my cheek and the pain felt like it was shooting up the back of my head. But it went away within seconds after the stitches were removed..

Ash Wednesday Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) All four of mine were impacted so I had to go under anesthesia. It was wild, man. I went out mid sentence. They told me I'd feel a tingling in the back of my throat and had me count to ten. I said "Oh I can totally feel i--- aaaang." The next thing I knew I was woken up and dumped in a wheelchair and presumably drooling profusely. I vaguely recall my sister in law trying not to laugh at me. I was wheeled away to a room where they dumped other patients off to sleep off the drugs. Seeing these people in these beds sleeping reminded me of the cover of the Pink Floyd album Momentary Lapse of Reason. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen, only I was too stoned out of my mind to laugh about it and couldn't feel my face, so I laughed to myself in my head. I think the stitches fell out early in one of them and it was a dry socket. Now I feel gypped that I didn't get to keep my teeth! I would have done something really cool with them. I think it would be funny to make earrings or a necklace out of them just to scare people. I suppose they might be at my dad's house rattling around in a little box somewhere, and I was too doped up to remember where I put them.

[quote name='the_rev' post='1668702' date='Oct 2 2008, 08:10 PM']I also kept mine. Someone told me that I should bury one at a holy site that way a part of me always remains and the saint will continually pray for me...[/quote] That's a cool idea...I've not heard this before.
