Re: NWR: Wisdom teeth are coming out!

I was soo scared about this when I got mine taken out 5 years ago. I am THE WORST patient ever and I am baby about everything, but I will be honest with you- it wasn't that bad! I am not joking. I had all 4 out as well- my mom took care of me- changing my gauz and making sure I took my pain medications. Before hand I rented a ton of movies so I wouldn't be bored. Good luck!!!

Re: NWR: Wisdom teeth are coming out!

I am getting one taken out tomorrow....I just remembered!!! AHHHH!! I am not thinking I will want to go to cardiokickboxing tomorrow....mmm...I want to reschedule!!

Re: NWR: Wisdom teeth are coming out!

I still have all of my wisdom teeth, so I can't speak from experience on this one, sorry! But I'm sure you'll be fine - good luck!

Re: NWR: Wisdom teeth are coming out!

I got mine pulled 2 weeks ago-but they weren't impacted. I got the gas and novicane-no anesthesia. I didn't even feel it. I walked out of there perfectly and drove myself home-very minimal pain that night, a little more pain the next day. Then that was it. Really, it wasn't bad. Good luck though-I know the fear was the worst part.

I got all of mine out at once and they put me in the twilight sleep also. It was great one minute you are talking to the doctor the next you are all done. I loved it...lol They gave me some vicodin which was great that helped a lot. It wasn't bad. The only thing that bothered me was when it was healing I guess the bones have to go back in place but that is when I took vicodin and I wasn't in pain and sleeping. Don't worry it is all done soon and you will be glad to have them out before they bother you. The doctor told me it is better to get them out by 25 if you have to because the older you get the harder it is.

The dentist said he would put me in a twilight also. I've never had any anesthesia (sp?) before so I really dont know what this is like. Everyone seems to always say that it feels like you just blink and its all over. That sounds awesome!!

yeah this is what i remember - he said to count. . .and i was asking him backwards or forwards ( lol i watch too many of those surgery shows) and i dont even remember saying the first number

then i looked out the window for a second. . . and i pictured myself actually OUT the window - i didnt realize until later that they had actually started! all i saw in the room were like some shadowy figures to my side

then in my head i was like - when are they going to start? and BOOM - they took out the IV and i just felt really stoned and i couldnt believe they were done

i got so confused bc i thought i couldnt talk - turns out i had a pound of gauze in my mouth!!!

Wow I don't remember anything. It was like I was asleep. I didn't see anything or hear anything which is good for me because i didn't want to..lol
