   wisdom teeth
  i just got my wisdom teeth out today.. needless to say i feel a little out of it. hehe, for anyone else that needs to go through this, its not so bad really. i was literally shaking off the table the first 5 minutes i got there, i was freaking out so bad. a little nitrous oxide later, and i couldn't feel a thinkg. i don't like that, to be quite honest.But, yer, now i'm sitting here and i can't feel my lowerlip or tip o me tounge. back of my jaw is going to hurt like hell tomorrow. oh, and further, wheeeeeeeeeeeeee i feel out of it a little bit still. [grin]   
  I had my wisdom teeth taken out a couple months ago. The next few days won't be fun, but it's not that bad.I had them taken out in 2 procedures - the first one was a bit of an emergency and they only used a local anaesthetic. That was not a pleasant experience - there wasn't any pain, but it wasn't fun being fully aware as a tooth is being pulled out.The second time they used nitrous - no problems at all. If anyone has to have their widom teeth out and you're given the choice of anaesthetic - go the nitrous route.   ;  I feel both lucky and unlucky to not need my wisdom teeth pulled out. One on hand, I don't have to go through an operation. On the other, I think my teeth are cramped and that could be why some are not straight.   ;  I had mine pulled in boot camp.  Two days later and I was back at it. That was a fun time, lol.-AJ   ;Quote:Original post by Will FI had my wisdom teeth taken out a couple months ago.

They actually put me under for this one, so i was asleep the whole time.Once, when i just had novacaine, the doctor actually had to use my forhead as a fulcrum, to pull out the tooth. it was in that tough. now that was just silly.   ;  I got mine out last tuesday, and by friday/saturday I was almost completely fine, except for a little, slight soreness. I had all 4 of mine out in one sitting, but I was completely out when it happened. All I remember was sitting in the chair, getting an IV, then waking up in my living room (and yes, I did have someone to drive me home).   ;  Having my wisdom teeth removed was, quite seriously, the happiest medical procedure I've had in my entire life. I had nitrous but the nitrous they gave me was worlds ahead of any nitrous I had before. At one point I couldnt tell if my eyes were open or if the image of the room was burned into my retinas. When I woke up I felt spectacular! In the coming days there was no pain at all.I recommend getting your wisdom teeth pulled [grin]   ;  Got all four out and didn't take any pain meds but one tylenol right after I got out... It wasn't bad at all.   ;  Mine are pushing through as we speak. Not fun.   ;Quote:Original post by Colin JeanneHaving my wisdom teeth removed was, quite seriously, the happiest medical procedure I've had in my entire life.

I don't know when I have to get mine out but its bound to be soon. My mom had hers taken out and she complained of a terrible pain in her ear. She had local anesthetics and a friend of ours said it may have been that it caused some issue in a nerve. I am definetly taking the nitrous route.
