Pain in the ass, I was fine without them.
Had 'em taken out durin' college - slept for a day and a half straight after the operation owin' to the anesthesia... They were beginnin' to grow out @ an angle, causin' pain on the inside of the cheek - whole lot better once they were gone...
Yup, got my only one out a couple weeks ago. Get a good doctor, painless sugery but some minimal pain afterwards. The tooth was horizontal and starting to slightly push on my other teeth. Good x-rays caught it in time, it was impacted beneath some bone and 1/3 the cost was the result of the bone graft that they put in place of the bone they removed.
I recommend getting them out if you can afford it. It will save you pain and cash to do it sooner than later.
Bastard, I haven't been to a dentist in 3-4 years.
mine too. "impacted against the molars" they said mine were. i refused the general anasthetic and just got novacaine. i guess doctor was good because despite the fact that he had to split them into shards to get them out I never really had any real pain. I iced my jaw immediately afterward and throughout the following three days and I didn't even swell up. couldn't really eat anything for that week though.
small price to pay for a month's supply of this:
that's better.
How many teeth were impacted? I still got my 15 pills, hah.
My instructions said to ice it for only 24 hours. It swelled up for a couple days after but it's fine now. Gonna get my stitches out tomorrow morning, actually.
They stitch gums????
somehow it was all 4.
check your PMs.
ha hah!
argh.
After a year of jaw pains - some dental benefits finally came through at work.
My mission is to avoid this ... ummm. .... something-er-other where there's an infection afterwards in the gums and exposed bone. The last TWO people I talked to had it.
ban.
Just make sure your dentist isn't a Jewish Orthodox Rabbi.
is there any other kind?
No, but there are those that aren't Jewish Orthodox.
All impacted.
I woke up afterwards and tried to be mr. tuffguy "I can walk to the car" and nearly fell on my face.
I had bruises on my chest (???) from dude yanking them out, my face was bruised and swollen beyond recognition and I basically drugged myself and slept for 2 days.
Honestly though, it wasn't that bad. I know it sounds bad but it's not a big deal.
Get em out, they're useless!
Peace
T.N.
It took the dentist 45 minutes to get the first one out. He broke a sweat! I had local anesthetic so I was up and all giddy from being nervous. I could feel the pressure of him pulling and pulling and I suddenly got this cartoon-ish image in my head of him putting his foot on my chest for leverage as the assistant yanked on his waist for more pull. I cracked up and could not stop laughing. He had to stop what he was doing and they were looking at me like I was nuts. "No one has ever reacted like this before," they said to me.
They gave me painkillers with codeine and it was the first (and last) time I had taken opiates. My mom told me don't take them every four hours, take them every two so the pain never comes through. OK crazy lady. I took three pills before I started to puke my guts out - who cared about the wounds in my mouth? I felt like absolute shit thanks to my mother's street dealer medical advice. My mouth never really bugged me, it all healed pretty quickly with hardly any discomfort.
