Wisdom Tooth extraction
-
Nah... Wisdom teeth are nothing. When I was a preteen, I needed oral surgery to remove an adult tooth growing sideways into my molars roots (roots pointed fwd, tooth backwards, "baby" tooth still on top). I discovered that day when oral surgeons ask if you want to remain awake during the procedure they're lying. Or at least their opinion of "awake" has little bearing to what I'd consider awake. Afterwards I discovered the word pain forever defined in a clarity I never want to experience again. Ug... X| -- Ian
Been there, done that, worst pain I ever experienced. Broken ribs is absolutely nothing in comparison. Falling off the bike onto a rock and scraping the leg to the bone, is less A broken eardrum from the pressure of an infection is also less pain.

Its not the extraction itself that hurts, its the dull aching pain that is non stop after.

Had mine pulled last week (number 2). It was fixed so well to my jaw, my dentist had never encountered such a thing. He went to make a photo of it, to see if there was something odd, but it looked ok. So eventually he had to drill the tooth in two so he could twist the separate bits and get them loose. Eventually it took 45 mins or something, most painful thing ever! Before I went to the dentist I was scared for a couple of weeks, but everyone kept telling me it would be a piece of cake, bunch of liars!
Wout
Thank fully, mine came out easy, but the dull aching after..

I was lucky enough to only grow the one all up... although it did have to be removed after breaking apart due to no tooth underneath for support. For me the worst part wasn't so much any pain, it was more the creepy "feeling" of hearing it coming away from whatever was holding it in there... like a cracking sound and not being able to feel a thing.

Good thread Mustafa! Much better than the usual Lounge style pissing contest, "My Joke is better/worse than yours" or "That's nothing, I can remember when we had to carve each transistor from a block of solid silicon". No we have "My toofy-peg hurtsies more than yours". :laugh: Still, you all have my sympathies, I hate going to the dentist for even a checkup, so having pain involved as well really sucks. No wait, you can't yet can you? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My daughter had that done a couple of months ago. In her case, she developed canker sores from the minor scratches to the inside of her cheek from the procedure. I think those actually hurt worse than the surgery, since they were pretty large.

You may not believe it now, but the pain does fade over time. You'll feel better in a few days. My daughter's surgeon gave her a mouth wrap that we put ice packs in that helped a lot.

I had all four of mine out at once. Three came out with no problem, but the roots broke off the fourth and the guy had to do some major excavation. I hate dentists... X|

You're ~30, right? Do wisdom teeth come out that late? :omg: My first wisdom tooth appeared when I was 22, I thought that was kinda late. I had a pair pop up late last year that had to be removed. It was painful, but not all that much. The swelling didn't subside for several days though.

Been there done that. All 4 of mine that came in over the course of about 5 years and they all grew in high and ended up cracking the crowns off. Big mess back there now. Already ended up with one yanked but I have 3 left... The problem now is that with all the meds I am on (Chemo, etc...) no one wants to touch me with anything or prescribe me anything, so there they sit. No pain, and the last one that got pulled years ago ended up coming out pretty cleanly, but... I tried to get the dentist to just do it THEN but he didn't feel like doing it @ midnight :) Yeah, I was an 'emergency pull'... He should have known.. you let me out of the dentist office I am not coming back :)

Was this done so you can feel more empathy with your wife's imminent extraction? Iain.

My simpathies! Some years ago, I had 4 of them extracted... both upper ones were easy. but the lower right one was incredibly hard: it took about 45 minutes of trying and at the end the dentist had to cut the tooth inside my mouth in order to be able to remove it... I don't need to explain how that week was... I remember it was august and I was freezing myself due to the shock... But that is my experience... I hope yours will be better... Good luck! :thumbsup:

You don't sound any stupider, though.

I like the way he's suckered you into using passive voice. What actually happened is that the dentist broke the roots; they didn't do it to themselves.

My sister's wisdom teeth did not come out till she was 27. But this one was extracted because the crown got chipped badly.
