Randy Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Dentist says i need my all wisdom teeth ripped out. They are still below gum level at the moment so he is going to have to slice my gum open and tear them out with pliers and stich it all up. All the while ill be in a dental chair with my mouth clamped open and just a needle in gum anasetic (i think) Has anyone had this procedure done before? it seems pretty common. Just wondering what your experience was like and if its as nasty as it sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I had it done and it is not a fun experience. However, a day's rest and you will be fine. Good luck. Res firma, mitescere nescit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dijita Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 It's not too bad. My wisdom teeth were below the gum line as well. I was given some gas to make me unconscience though. However I had more than just my wisdom teeth taken out. I had a rare condition where I had a third set of teeth growing behind my front upper teeth. The dentist wanted to get rid of those so that they don't cause complications in the future. This was probably the most painful part for me with the surgery. They had to make an incision down the center of my pallete and open it up and then drill in the bone to get at those pesky teeth. That hurt like crazy... and the stitches inbetween my teeth were the worst. However overall, it wasn't that bad. I think I only took painkillers for the first day. I'm really against pain killers so I stopped taking them as soon as I could, and it was bearable. You'll look like a hamster for a couple of days, but you'll be fine. Good luck with that!

SaiFightsMS Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I did, they took all four of mine out at the same time early in 1976. You will look like a chimpmunk with swollen cheeks afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Mine are OK. My dentist thinks as long as they have grown ok and are healthy, I should keep them. I have a bigger surface for mastication World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I had a tooth out last week - I got whacked in the face at karate and it caused one of my teeth to crack and an abcess to develop under the tooth. Not pleasent. I personally haven't had to have my wisdom teeth removed, although my brother did when he was about 18 or 19. He looked like a hamster for a week afterwards and would only eat soup, milkshake or melted chocolate for a fortnight. Personally, I think he played on it for as long as possible in order to get the maximum amount of sympathy from mum and dad! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
