Wisdom teeth =[.?
eat a whole pineapple the day before! that's what i did and... no swelling. now, whether those two events were directly related or not, i couldn't say... but why not? pineapple is tasty.
Reply:You will be put under and then you will wake up with gauze in your mouth and probably go home and sleep for a while. You may be a little sore, but you can take Tylenol for that. My cheeks didn't swell a whole lot and it was really only for the first day or two. Just REMEMBER: do not eat ANY chewy food for a few days. You may think that you can do it, but your jaw will hurt afterwards! I learned the hard way!! And you will get a syringe type thing after a week or so and you will have to flush out the places that the teeth were removed so that no food or anything gets stuck. Then you just have to wait for your stitches to fall out since they are dissolvable most of the time. It's not painful at all, kind of gross, though.
Reply:i have the same problem,'


except im only getting three pulled.


and its in like 4 or 5 weeks.


lol.





but i researched it a little bit,


and they say it hurts after you get them pulled,


and when you get home.


like you can't eat anything or they will hurt really bad.


but i think that if they do a good job,


then it won't hurt that bad.


:D











good luck!


and i hope it doesn't hurt for you.


:]
Reply:I got my 2 top wisdom teeth pulled. I didn't really feel any pain. The only thing that hurt a little is when the used the needle to numb it,otherwise you just feel pressure but not severe pain. If you still do feel pain the detist will ask you and give you more novicane.
Reply:I would suggest that you talk to your doctor and find out if you can have 2 teeth taken out on one side first.





Go back a couple weeks later to have your other 2 removed.





To answer your questions. I just had a rotted molar removed at the University of Michigan Hospital this past Monday. I was numbed up pretty good and I experienced alot of pressure from the doctor pulling on my tooth. The first two or three days I had very bad facial and head pain from the extraction. I was given Tylenol 3 for the pain





The doctor will number your tooth with Novicaine. He/she will check and see if you can feel your tooth still. If you can't feel it then he will use a lux rod to loosen your tooth. Then he/she will use forcept pliars and grip the tooth and work it loose until it comes loose





Your extraction site will be packed with gauge and you will need to bite down to stop the bleeding. You will to keep your extraction sit very moist so you do not get dry socket.





You will experience pain and swelling after your tooth is extracted. Just place Ice packs on your face to get the swelling under control.





Good Luck to you
Reply:Get put to sleep it is much better. I got all 4 out last May and was asleep and no pain. Just remember you can't drink through a straw or 24-48hrs, because that can cause dry socket. Also 24hrs after they are out you need to rinse with warm salt watr for 2-3 times a day to prevent dry socket.





Ya it isn't bad at all. Only thing with me was they gave me vicodin which wasn't bad I just couldn't eat dairy with it because it didn't mix well with the dairy. Other than that I was ok.





It is best to have them all out at once.
Reply:I just got my wisdom teeth out today. It's the first time that I'd ever had surgery and to be honest, I didn't feel a thing. I know everyone says that people are lying when they tell you that it doesn't hurt, but maybe some people just have a higher pain tolerance. I guess it probably depends on what type of procedure you have done to have them taken out. I had gotten all four of mine taken out, and it's probably better that way, so then you don't have to go through it all again. I was put to sleep for mine, because I was way nervous just as you are. First they gave me laughing gas, and then they put an IV into my arm, and then after a couple of minutes they said they were going to give me the medicine, and BAM, right to sleep. After that, they will inject Novocain into the area. I didn't even know how long it took me to get to sleep. To me, it felt like I was in there for about five minutes and right back out. The only thing that even really hurt was the IV, which just pinches. Afterwards, they will give you a whole bunch of gauze to switch every 30 minutes. It's a hassle though, and disgusting. For me, my cheeks didn't really swell up at all so far.. but they still have a chance of doing so. I haven't felt any pain so far ;]. You will be fine, just relax! It's not as bad as half the people say it is!
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth (all 4) out this morning!


It depends what method your oral surgeon will be using, mine uses "deep sedation" which is sedation that puts you to sleep but without any risks.





Let me put it this way: I felt better AFTER my surgery than I did before!!! I put on my iPod. I got a needle stuck in my arm, I felt relaxed in 2 seconds and what literary felt like an instant I was already awake and in a recovery bed. Yes it was that amazing. The time between when I fell asleep and the IV needle took maybe 5 seconds at most. I take my medications so I have no pain, no bleeding, no swelling (right now). I only can't chew yet (don't want to risk breaking the stiches). So the bottom line is try to get "deep sedation" if you can. Most oral surgeons only use "conscious sedation" in which you will be awake but relaxed. It requires extra training in anesthesiology to be able to administer deep sedation.


So don't worry!!! It was the best surgery of my life because I wasn't awake for any of it!
