aefibird Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I had one out and it went mostly OK. It wasn't really painfull having the tooth out, just more uncomfortable. I'm a total wimp when it comes to dentists - the thought of going makes me feel shakey and sick but my dentist is great and really helps put me at my ease. After I'd had the tooth out I had a dry socket, which was painful but nothing that ibuprofen or co-codamol couldn't handle. The worst part for me was beforehand - expecting it to be awful and horrible, but it wasn't actually. I wasn't in any pain at all when I was in the dentists chair. "Was it really worth it?

Shotokan-kez Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well i had it done. I got to the hospital at 1pm and went to theatre at 4pm. I had local anestetic and sedation. I didn't feel a thing pain wise but i hated the whole experience, they had to keep giving me sedation cos my heart kept palpatating. Afterwards i couldn't speak very well. I had to have stitches in my gums because there was a hole in the tooth and it broke in half when they were taking it out! Anyway today i am very sore and a little bit swollen but im glad it's out...no more infections for me!Kez xx Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjanurse Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I remember being sore for a few weeks but if it continues you should follow up with your surgeon or dentist.
