Wisdom teeth?
Don%26#039;t be scared, it isn%26#039;t half as bad as you think it is. Before I had mine pulled I had the massive headaches, ear pain, and just severe pain where they were coming in. If anything you%26#039;ll feel better after they%26#039;re gone! Plus, I got a prescription for pain meds after mine, as I%26#039;m sure you will. With the help of those little pills I was able to survive getting all 4 wisdom %26amp; 2 other back teeth pulled at once with relatively no pain! I just slept through it. Granted it was uncomfortable, but not intolerable.





If you%26#039;re really scared of the process, ask if you can be put to sleep or if they offer any form of sedation. It costs a little extra, but it%26#039;s worth it. That%26#039;s how I did mine, and I only wish I could do that for every trip to the dentist!





As for your pain now, all I could recommend would be simple over-the-counter pain reliever. If it gets too bad contact your dentist.





Good luck!
Reply:If you%26#039;re 15, you won%26#039;t have a huge OUCH unless you%26#039;re just sensitive to pain. Wisdom teeth grow roots from 16-18 so you may not have any. After the shot of pain medication, you won%26#039;t feel a thing. See if they%26#039;ll let you wear headphones though because you can hear the tissue tearing as they pull them out.


Removing the roots is what makes it painful. I had mine removed at 24 and my jaws were sore for 3 days. My roots were impacted and 2 had to be removed surgically. Take it from me, get them all removed NOW while you don%26#039;t have roots.
Reply:No one can tell you how much pain you will be in after your wisdom teeth are pulled. That said, your dentist or oral surgeon should have current dental x-rays of your teeth. The x-rays will show him or her the true position of each wisdom tooth. Specifically, the dentist will know if the tooth is straight or tipped at virtually any possible angle. I have seen wisdom teeth almost completely upside down! The x-rays will show if the roots are long, short, hooked, etc. The x-rays might provide some clue as to whether a wisdom tooth is fused to the bone. This occurs almost exclusively in much older patients. X-rays show the proximity of the roots to vital nerves (trigeminal nerve specifically). If the dentist has taken the time to take a full medical history from you, examine the x-rays carefully, and if he is a skilled dentist (or oral surgeon), the procedure should have you up and about the very next day just as long as you do not over-exert. Always follow, to the letter, post-operative instructions from your dentist or his assistant! If you are a smoker, DO NOT SMOKE before surgery and do not resume smoking until the surgical site has healed. Smoking can cause infection, can dramatically slow healing and can disrupt the clot that protects the boney socket. Trust me, losing that clot can cause excruciating pain because you develop what is known as a dry socket. Dry socket is easily and painlessly treated so don%26#039;t suffer through it. Get help right away. You asked about massive headaches. They may or may not be related to your wisdom teeth. With a visual dental inspection and with current x-rays, a dentist might be able to to help determine if the wisdom teeth are contributing to headaches. My suspicion is that there is NOT a relationship. To ease the pain of wisdom teeth prior to your surgical date, I suggest you keep the area extremely clean. Brush two to three times a day. Floss at least daily, especially the back of you last tooth. You can try an oral rinse like listerine or ask your dentist for a perscription for peridex (chlorhexadine) if the tissue is extremely red and swollen. Don%26#039;t smoke!
