Wisdom teeth?
people normally want to scare you when they tell stories like that. I used to be a dental nurse for 10 yrs before my kids came along and i gotta say i saw plenty of teeth (wisdom included) and never saw a jaw dislocated, don't panic and thing's will be fine, if it's too big a job for your dentist to do in his surgery he/she will refer you to your local hospital and they'll prob sedate you or give you an anaesthetic. sue xx
Reply:I had to have one of my wisdom teeth out, it was done by my regular dentist and it wasnt too much hassle. Maybe i was lucky.
Reply:I don't think that a properly qualified dental surgeon would dislocate a jaw with such a routine operation. Of course things can always go wrong but I would think it is rather rare.
Reply:Some people get it done with a local aenesthetic, but some people need a general. I think it's up to you and the dentist. I have all 4 of mine, cuzwhen I had my braces when I was younger, I had 4 teeth pulled out and so extra room was made for the wisdom teeth. I guess I was lucky in that respect.
Reply:No its not....my mouth is really small...but they have this intruments and place on your mouth so it can be the biggest that your mouth can go...and they will work with that....





and don't worry too much...and if your jaw gets dislocated juts sue!
Reply:I had all 4 taken out because they were impacted and I had a general anaesthetic in a hospital and i believe they broke the teeth and then pulled them out ( I believe this because I had a few shards left in which caused me problems and when I went back they let it slip that these would have been caused when they broke them) - how gross is that? But I am fit and well now and it is a dim distant memory but could explain why I had a week off work and looked like a hamster with green bruised cheeks
Reply:I had two out in hospital. not sure quite what they did as i was out cold however, I was bruised all over my face and chest. It looked as though someone had kneeled on my chest. I was sore for over a week.
Reply:They dont dislocate your jaw but it is stretched open to its limits. Had to have mine out as I had a small jaw, not enough room %26amp; wisdom teeth were impacted in the gum.





You may well have a general anaesthetic( or it could be local) %26amp; after the teeth are extracted you are likely to be bruised %26amp; swollen around your face %26amp; jaw area. It is quite painful but it settles after a while %26amp; is not nearly as bad as putting up with the pain from the teeth remaining as they are
Reply:I think that it is likely that the Dentist will have to put his foot on your chin and heave, but dont worry taking into account the extreme trauma you should be ok in about six months. I hope this makes you feel better.
Reply:Ouch babe, you having them out at only 23. You are usually under sedation when this is done and have to be in hospital to have it done. Dont worry about the procedure you should be asleep.
Reply:I'm sure that this is very rare, i had 2 removed and appart from a slight discomfort after it was fine. Just remember everyone is diferent, sometimes people like to make things sound worse than they are. Don't worry hon you will be fine.
