Wisdom teeth

[SwitchBlade]

Hey i got my wisdom teeth extracted so far soo good. Anyone have any suggestions for eating, painkillers and swelling. Thanks

[Shaolin]

who did you get it out with? I was have soups for about 3 days and drank warm water for a couple of days..

I took painkillers but I didn't get any pains to begin with, but i took them anyways because it was doctor's orders.. when I got them out on the first day I just covered my cheeks with frozen vegetables.

[franky73]

Anything cold for eating is good. Try to aviod using anything with Codeine (i.e t3) in it for a pain killer. With the lack of food you will be eating most likel you will get constipated (side effect of codiene). For pain you can double does with Ibuprofen and something like advil, taking a dose of each every two hours.

[SwitchBlade]

Cant remember the doctors name, he serves a few different locations. He liked to say "theres no two ways about it"1 lots though. He was really good ill have to get his name. He recomended Codine but i might just take advil.

[method]

222s are tylenol/acetaminophen and codeine.

they throw caffeine in there too, cause codeine will knock you out. constipates you too :D

advil and aspirin have the anti-inflammatory properties that tylenol does not.

dont mix any shit.

milkshakes ahoy!

[rice_eater]

i took mine out a month ago and i had no swelling and no need for any painkillers:D but i still have to suck my gums to get the food that gets trapped out of the holes. My suggestion is to rinse your mouth with mouthwash after each meal or at least once a day to get the really small pieces out. you'll be surprised how much crap gets stuck in.

[SwitchBlade]

Haha im glad the holes are normal i was shitting myself, as for t he mixing i may be screwed i have tylenol codein and pennicilin. *head hits keyboard* for the swelling i used some frozen pizza pops. I havent eaten yet im lazy but my parents are rat bastards and bought pizza it smells sooo goood. Im gonna steal some n post whore myself :bigpimp:

[SwitchBlade]

Is minimal bleeding ok?

[max_boost]

My wisdom extraction was an unbelievable experience. My dentist took it out, virtually no pain, no blood, nothing. It hurt less than a regular extraction:eek: I went for lunch 15mins later and ate a huge bowl of pho. :rofl: Freaking weird stuff haha

[ZorroAMG]

Most of the people who have no issues with them being removed is because they aren't impacted. Most often all the pain and sheit is when the wisdom teeth are growing in at an angle (impacted) and they have to be dug out with surgery.../|||||||\ this is way more than simply pulling then straight out if they have surfaced or even digging a bit and pulling straight out...the holes are way bigger ....

just make sure no food gets in the holes to infect....did you get a water syringe?

All 4 of mine were impacted and i has no pain or bleeding whatsoever, i just swelled up like basketball.

[core_upt]

all four of mine were impacted - it scked. the day i got them done I was pretty much out of it and incoherent from the anesthetic, day 2 i felt fine, a little woosy, day three and four were torture, most painful thing ever. by day 5 it got a bit better and i could finally eat really soft food which was good cause i was soo fucking sick of yogurt.

my freind just got ers out and she was a bit swollen, but seems fine so far.

i guess it just depends on the person - i prepared her for the worst and it wasn't bad at all. good luck and enjoy the painkillers!

Yours was a lucky case, but the swelling is because you technically pissed your mouth off by digging those guys out LOL

Nothing to worry about, i do suggest eating all the good stuff the night before. Stock up on ice packs n icecream for milkshakes, ichiban is alright too

[blinkme_210]

What's the average cost to extract wisdom teeth? I'm thinking about getting mine done too.

[SwitchBlade]

Mine where bout 600 i also choose just freezing thats all you need IMO.

[MM99lude]

600?? WTF mine cost almost 2000 to get out... mind u i did choose to get knocked out for the whole thing... i guess its the cost of the anaesthesiologist.

[max_boost]

How do you people pay $2000 to get your wisdoms extracted? Sounds like a surgical (sp) procedure or something:eek: I only paid $120 for my upper two:dunno:

My dentist told me i had to get mine out, so i had to go to an oral surgeon, i got the nitrous gas, which was the best thing i ever felt lol, and i think i paid 100$ for the whole thing, and i got all 4 out.

[leutyc]

I will ask and see what the quota came in at, ya that eatting sorda sucks, but we did it on a thusday so we have the 4 days off, (both me and my bro go in at same time) and the doctor is super nice, just scared about it them cuting into my mouth, like the stitches and if somthing goes wrong, well guess well find out soon.

you wont even know theyre cutting in ur gums, i woke up during it but i was so high off the gas i didnt even care, and i dont think i even had stitches cuz i never went back to get them out, unless they were the disovalbe ones.

[leutyc]

I was told they will use the disolving ones, Just asked on the price, $1300 per/ person and insurance covers $1200, so in the end it's about $100 per person.

[pinoyhero]

As is the case with most any ailment, rest. Get as much sleep as you can and relax so the blood doesn't flow too much.

[TheXplosion]

i need to wait a month to get a consalation(sp) and then make a new date to get them out and one is coming out and killing me now.:thumbsdow :whipped: :guns: :guns:

[D'z Nutz]

Mine were supposed to be $2000, because they were under the gums and I needed to go to an oral surgeon for it. Plus I got put under for it too.

In the end it cost me a big fat $0 because the company I was working for at the time had a nice dental coverage :D

Oh, and for all the Chinese people getting wisdom taken out... congee is your best friend :rofl:

its like breast bug of the mouth... :D:D

[BebeAphrodite]

I never grew my wisdom teeth! :D

:cry:

[Shaolin]

i just stayed away from solid foods for 3-4 days.. wanted to make sure no food got stuck, because that just sucks :thumbsdow

[DJ Lazy]

my bottom ones have come in... but not all the way.. they are about 75% in... not sure if I am gonna have to get them yanked or not... Guess I will find out when I go to the dentist next time..

[leutyc]

This sucks royal DICK, i hate it, it hurts, there is blood ever where, i am tierd, tirsty and cranky, THIS SUCKS FUCK and i can't feel my face. AAARRRGGGG ME MAD.

[happygirl]

it was pain free for me:thumbsup:

[toyotaz23]

I bled for two days, and my face was swollen for about 2 weeks. Best thing is to try and not get an infection, cuase then your swollen for about a month. No one likes to look like a chipmunk ahahaha

[jennyanniemary]

are they optional?

nope, just luck of the draw...

[jennyanniemary]

i dont get it? dont they always grow for everyone? arnt some ppl's jaw have enough space that they dont need to be taken out? or do some ppl just dont get them at all? in my case the dentist doctor person screwed up some gums in the lower right jaw (permanant) very slight tingling feeling and probably some lost in sensativity too... but they make everyone sign a wavier form....

[2UTH DR]

interesting thread guys...

I'm a dentist. I extract wisdoms on a regular basis, including the impactions.

[abyss]

Is there a particular age they are supposed to come in by? 'cause I haven't gotten mine *yet*.

[RiCE-DaDDy]

just had it done today.

my bottom right doesn't stop bleeding! and it was a impacted tooth. like every five mins, i gotta spit it out because the blood forms into a gooey ball.

[jennyanniemary]

did u get those gauze pad thingys to stuff in your mouth?

Having a little blood oozing from the extraction site for a few days is normal. If you wish, you can bite on a tea bag. The tannic acid in the tea bag helps the blood to clot. I really wouldn't worry about it, unless by some small chance you have a blood clotting disorder.

The age at which a wisdom tooth erupts varies quite a lot from each individual. The usual range of ages is about 18 to 22. However if the wisdom tooth becomes impacted, it may not erupt into the mouth at all, and you would not realize that you had it in your jaws. The best way to monitor the wisdom teeth is to take a PAN x-ray which shows the entire jaws. Then the dentist can see what's happening in there and tell you whether or not you are ready to get your wisdom teeth extracted. Some lucky individuals do not grow some or all wisdom teeth, and some individuals have large enough jaws that there is enough room for the wisdom teeth to erupt into the mouth and function normally as a molar.

[dkny_stylez]

my mouth was froze for 2 hrs after it was done. THe bitch part was that my gums were bleeding for 3 straight days.

[SwitchBlade]

Mine bled for 2 hrs and one bled for 4 or so cuz the stitches came out early. Apparently tea bags help if u bite down on them.

[habsfan]

i got mine out last year. face swelled like a champ and i had to get used to digging food out of the newly formed craters in my mouth lol

[RiCE-DaDDy]

2UTH DR, why do we have wisdom teeth? doesn't seem very wise :D

[Khyron]

Seems to me the younger you have it done, the less trauma you deal with. I had mine done at 14 or 15 and I was eating normally the next day - I would have done the procedure again for 5 bucks, it was that easy. Most other kids my age at the time had no real issues either - but other people that had them done at 18 or older seemed to really be hit hard - my sister-in-law was almost comatose for a whole week (22 I think when they did it).

I had all 4, and it was ordered because they didn't want them to wreck the work the braces did. My sister only had 2 develop.

[GQBalla]

esh i know this is a old thread but ihave to get mine out aug 21st...... at least i get to get knocked out!:D

[leutyc]

Suck on tea bags, use the drugs, sit and relax, try and sleep. Lotsa soup. And just tough it out.

[GQBalla]

[fcuk_it]

yeah man... they gave me 3 little pills which were supposed to knock me out but i woke up and flipped out then they had to gas me(which they should have done in the first place)

[wildrice]

okay, so it's only the codeine that causes the constipation??

need to b4 Sept 17th, getting my 3 wisdom teeth pulled out on the 18th

[cloud7]

shit, I am 28... I am freaking out because I still have all four of my wisdom teeth ... the dentist had said that I should have them removed... but hearing the stories, I don't know if I should just leave them in there...

[Ariakas]

Just get them pulled, you don't want your wisdom to interfere with your molars. Plus the older you get the more it hurts... I got all 4 of them pulled, around your age. I didn't go to sleep cuz it was cheaper. It was quick and bloody, Dr Vincelli was where I got them done. My healing process sucked cuz I got dry sockets... so I was contantly getting headaches, took 6 advils at once. They had to put in some clover in my socket to ease the pain but it taste very gross. Anyways, all good now :)

[wildrice]

ow, i just got 3 pulled a couple hours ago
the first one was painless, second hurt like a bitch, and third was damn quick and painless

my bottom first two were impacted, and i guess the second one on the right side didn't have enought freezie stuff
but yea, the bleeding isn't stopping

i'm not felling that much pain now, but damn my throat hurts, probably from swallowing all that blood

when will i be able to get some feeling back in my face?
ne one know?

[wildrice]

omg, the freezie stuff is going away
and so is the numbness but now it fcuking hurts every time i swallow

ow, in pain

[bart]

i dont understand why this is so common in north america... ??????

if your's are fine LEAVE THEM IN! there is like no such thing as wisdom tooth removal in poland for example, lol. dont you see your dentist will get a hefty comission if he convinces you to pay thousands to get 4 teeth removed? lol, suckers. yes, they do have 'these' agreements with the guy he recommends... mine are staying in for life!

wtf is ur prob dude

most ppl do leave them in if they fit in their jaw don't they??
um.....thousands of dollars just to get 4 teeth removed???
it only cost $600 something for 3
and i had dental benefits too, so i only ended up paying $140 for getting 3 wisdom teeth pulled out

[bart]

no problems here! when i do have some, i will let you know!

[aquamarine]

If I may make a silly but serious suggestion.... go to the Great Canadian Superestore and near the bakery section, pick up some of those one-bite-brownies or one-bit blondies. They are tasty, fairly spongy and are very filling. I lived off those things when I had my teeth removed. Take one out of the bag, pull it in half and press it between your tongue and the roof of your mouth. Squish.

Tilt your head and swallow with an open mouth, otherwise you might suck out the blood clots that are forming and have a nice mouth full of bloody gooey brownie. NOT pleasant. The last thing you want is a dry-socket.

[Zero102]

Jeez, I had mine out on Friday. They put me under to do them, no way in hell I was going to watch it. Only problem is that I remember a lot of them removing my teeth, exactly what I wanted to avoid.

3 of the 4 were pretty good, although everything was over-crowded with them in there, so they had to come out, or I had to get braces. However, the lower right one was growing out completely sideways, right out the side of my gums, towards my cheek. That one is hell.
If it wasn't for that one, I would be just fine right now, I can't even feel the others, virtually no swelling, and almost no bleeding.
However, the lower right one did not stop bleeding until about 6AM saturday. I used the gauze things, tea bags, everything. I lost around 2 litres of blood. I fainted several times, once while going to the bathroom (fun fun fun...). If somebody with a car had been home I would have gone to the hospital, but I can't pay for an ambulance, and there is no way in hell I was driving.
Because of all the blood I lost/swallowed, I threw up for the first time in several years (and again a few hours later), and now my stomach/back hurt more than my face.

People who want to remove your wisdom teeth are sick.

[Zero102]

Hmm, finally got up the nerve to poke around in my mouth today... they absolutely massacred my right cheek, no wonder I bled so much, there are some huge chunks of skin missing. And..... I am about 99% sure they left my top-left wisdom tooth in. Although, it sure hurts like crazy now.

I'm not too happy about this, since I paid for having all 4 teeth out, at the dentist's reccomendation, and there is no way in hell I'm letting them take another shot at it.
