Wisdom teeth?

Any one had there wisdom teeth out with just a local anaesthetic, do you feel anything and is there much pain after

Wisdom teeth?
I've had two wisdom teeth out under LA, because alot of people have them out under a general, they think it must be really painful under LA. If a dentist thought for on second it would be difficult to take out or really uncomfortable for you they would just refer you to a clinic and let them do it!!!!!!!!!!!!


If its straight forward, its no more painful then having any other tooth out, once your numbed you won't feel a thing. But my advice to you is, before the LA wears off take a few pain killers, so they take effect, just in case. Good luck and don't worry.
Reply:I had one wisdom tooth taken out with just a local and the other three under a general anaesthetic, the only problem I had with the local is that you can hear the tooth cruch as the dentist pulls on it!





I had a lot of headaches afterwards but some strong ibuprofen works wonders
Reply:I did, they had to fit me in as an emergecny between someone else, I had anaesthetic, then him, then my teeth out, then his! It's a bit nasty as it all crunches a bit, but it didn't hurt at the time. It ached for a few days after, and I had to wash my mouth out with salted water for a few days- that's the worst part- it makes me gag- but it wasn't so bad considering, don't worry too much, the anticipation is the worst part.
Reply:No thank you very much. What sadist wants to just give you a local?


I had all 4 taken out under general anaesthetic in hospital.


Hurt like hell for a week until the stitches dissolved.
Reply:I had mine pulled and the dentist used a local anaesthetic. Afterwards I had a headache and took Tylenol for it. My jaws were somewhat sore and eating solid foods was a little difficult but that's to be expected.
Reply:I had one under local... and my doc was a fruit... he sang "Somehwere Over the Rainbow" Much pain afterword. I dont like taking pain meds like Tylenol or Ibuprofen, so I was a "male part name" to all my co-workers.

Reply:Self-care suggestions


Your dentist will offer instructions on caring for your mouth after surgery, but general suggestions for self-care after a dental extraction include:


Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling


Take painkillers


Regularly hold a mouthful of warm salty water, but don't swish


Don't brush over the area for a day or two


Eat soft, easy to chew foods for the next few days.
Reply:I got all four of my wisdom teeth out, but they knocked me out completely before the operation. The worst part was just waiting for everything. After it was all over it felt wierd, but didn't hurt at all! Don't worry about it! Just relax and take the medecine they give you, then everything will work out. Good luck!





Oh, the doc will probably tell you how to clean everything and what to do after the operation. Follow all the directions and you'll feel as good as you did before in a few days!
Reply:yes , All mine with local, of course there will be pain of varying degrees depending uopn countless circum stances.


Sometimes if you are left with a "dry socket" , where the blood fails to clot , often the result of excessive use of local anaesthetic, then the pain can be excrutiating.It also can mean that the socket will regularly fill with waste food, with the potential for infection , bad smells and failure of the socket to close properly.


Its not all bad......you can go private!
Reply:you wont feel a thing but sometimes bit pain after but they will give you something for that dont worry about it you will be ok .might not get pain after not all people do i did but not bad pain .so dont let it worry you ,you will be fine,anne
