Wisdom teeth?

I have to get all 4 or my wisdom teeth out. Should I do all at once or 2 at a time. I am nervous about it and want to get it over with but I dont want to have to do it again. I'm only getting numb for it and having laughing gas too. What are your experiences!!!?

Wisdom teeth?
do all 4, it's the same pain whether it's 2 or 4.....which in my case was very little pain.





sleep sitting up as much as you can.


I didn't chew food for about a week because i was afraid of getting stuff in the holes.


don't use a straw.
Reply:Think about whether you need them out at all. if they're perfectly healthy then you don't..
Reply:Its easier to get two at a time.. one big thing that helped me was... go to a local grocery store and get a medicinal plunger (not sure thats what its called). Something you can put water in and shoot a direct stream with. It will really help you keep the areas clean after they remove the teeth!!
Reply:you have to ask ur doctor if they are ready to be taken out. i had my second one taken out last week, just one though. i didnt feel a thing the most painful part was the needles. the recovery process is kind of anoyign thought because it hurts like i ***** and throbs at night. but nothing that painkillers wont help it. my xrays show two more growing out but my dentist told me that if i wait for it to grow out it will make it easier to take out. my twin sis on the other hand, had all three taken out at the same time. she recovered faster than me. it depends how impacted ur teeth are and all that. the thing is, after my sister removed her first two, she felt EVERYTHING. the numbness wore off and it was very painful. she had a total of like 9 shots lol.
Reply:get all 4 done at once, you will have some pain afterward, but usually is easily managed with tylenol. Follow your dentist's instructions for after care, so the gums do not get infected. In a couple of days you will be fine, then you won't have to go through it again.
Reply:Depends how deep they are. I had to have 2 of mine taken out and decided to take all 4 out at the same time and I was in bed for 3 days and in a lot of pain. So, if they are all close to the surface, then do all of them, if not I would stick to doing the ones that need it.


If I could do it over again I would have only done 2.
Reply:definitly all four
Reply:You should get all four of them out in one sitting so you don't have to deal with any problems with them in the future. And you don't have to deal with repeating the aftercare (example: salt water rinse directions among post-extraction instructions you may be given, and probably stitches).





If you do it multiple sessions (like two at a time), it will cost you more money.





The dental surgeon will numb you up real good before he pulls your tooth. Assuming your wisdom teeth have grown out normally, it will take only maybe 15 seconds at most for him to extract each tooth.





I had all my wisdom teeth extracted in THREE sittings during a two year span... First one was my lower right tooth due to its advanced decay. Second sitting was for both my upper teeth because one of them had a cavity (I agreed to have them both out if that occurred.) Third and last sitting was for my lower left tooth due to a gumline cavity. In hindsight, I should've requested them all pulled in one session to save a few hundred dollars.
Reply:Your dentist has informed you on having your wisdom teeth pulled. He or she will prepare you. It is normal to be nervous. The wisdom teeth are not necessary, sure you will experience pain whether you have two at a time removed or all 4 of them. You can decide this but your dentist will help you. If you choose to have them all pulled its the same pain


and on the same bill. If its two at a time your dentist will make an appointment to have the other ones extracted.
Reply:It is SO individual how you will react You can ask 20 people and get 20 different answers.





For me. I had one side done in 1 visit and the other side in a separate visit. I had NO pain at all. The dentist just used the regular freezing as for fillings and the like. Even after the freezing came out, I had no pain. No ache in my jaw. Nothing. The only symptom was a wee bit of tenderness like I always get where the freezing goes in.





If you normally sail through other dental procedures, you will sail through this too.
Reply:It depends how old you are. If you feel you are ready to have them out, usually they reccommend all 4 at the same time.
