Wisdom tooth removal.

[aefibird]

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.

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!

Cool. Now it's only a matter of time and that soreness will pass.

They had me replacing medicated gauzes in my mouth for a couple days afterward.

My new name is Hamster lolol I have a puffed cheek and people keep asking to share what i'm storing in there!!

[KarateK]

How are you feeling now? Are you in any pain?

[Shotokan-kez]

The hamster cheek has gone now thankfully, but i am still in pain. Don't know if there's something wrong or not but my gum feels a little swollen when i touch it with my tongue.

I remember being sore for a few weeks but if it continues you should follow up with your surgeon or dentist.
