Wisdom Teeth-xored!

Triggar · 2004-05-07, 05:05 PM

I just had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out about four hours ago, and I'm pretty bored because all I can really do is watch TV (I can't talk on account of the gauze in my mouth).

Have any of you guys had yours out? How long did it take you to recover? Any crazy stories about how they had to chisel your bone out to get the tooth loose?

Thankfully mine was really simple - all my teeth came in straight and three of the four had broken through my gums, so all the dentist had to do was yank them out.

Let's hear your war stories!

All four of mine were impacted. They opened my gums up and broke them. I wasn't in pain for the first three days. After that, though, my jaw throbbed.

Mine are coming in really nice but crooked, so they're crowding my back teeth a bit. I'll probably just end up with a retainer for them and keep 'em.

Got em removed. Felt slightly tired, had girlfriend over, she comforted me and played with the section of my chin that I couldnt feel.

My friend had a bad reaction to the Anesthesia and tripped the shit out. Hullucinations and everything.

What's the deal with removing wisdom teeth?

They put me totally out to yank mine. I don't remember comming to, but apparently I looted the recovery room. The next day I found a ton of medical shit stuffed in my coat pockets.

nah, just ask for morphine if youre ever in a hospital for an overnight stay, that stuff is insane. I was messed up on that stuff for hours.

I had mine out, and was playing paintball 4 hours later. It's not bad at all, I didn't even need ibuprofen after it was done.
