Getting the wisdom Teeth out tomorrow...

[ak_powder_monkey]

Does that make me more or less wise?

Please disregard most pain killer influenced posts in the near future

It will make you wise to what what people are talking about when they discuss how it feels like to have their wisdom teeth pulled.

The hidden bonus to it, is that the syringe they give you to irrigate the holes, also works well to inject epoxy into severe delams.

I doubt you'll be less wise when it's over.

[Yukonrider]

Irrigating holes sucks. I did it once, and never again. Its a weird type of pain that I just couldn't stand. I also ate/drank oatmeal for two weeks after. I had my recipe down.

i had my syringe on top of my bag at the bar i worked at after i got mine pulled and my boss saw it, was convinced i was a dirty doper, threw it away, and started to have a serious heart to heart about using drugs until i explained.

your wisdom teeth make you as wise as your funny bone makes you funny

Make sure to eat lots of popcorn right afterwards.

PM me for advice on where to send your leftover painkillers.

[Cliff Huckable]

Why are you getting them out?

[Skipig25]

ice cream, yogurt, applesauce, scrambled eggs, ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, oatmeal

Wisdom tooth removal hands down has the best ratio of dope to pain of any medical procedure or problem around these days. (except for getting your butt scoped but you deserve the drugs for the indignity that little experience entails)

[old fart voice] When I had my wisdom teeth out I got some novacaine and a slap on the ass when I went out the door. Now a days they knock you silly before the extraction and give you a fucking doggy bag for later on. The pain? meh! Maybe a 3 or 4 on a ten point scale. We've all been hurt a lot worse on the slopes and had to beg for fucking tylenol. [end old fart voice]

I got wicked headaches due to them being in place. Gums were outta room for them.

I had IV sedation when I had all four removed. Very nice - counted back from 100 and got to 93. Woke a little while they were doing their thing - felt nothing - cared about nothing. Holes were stitched up. Woke up with gauze over my gums in the back. Swapped gauze twice after going home and that was it. Got meds. Worked the next day. No more headaches from my teeth.

Damn, we're in a tight spot!

Great movie!

I had all 4 of mine out at the same time. They were all sideways and impacted. The pain for me lasted all of a couple of days. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. The swelling and the general feeling in the back of my mouth was the weird thing. I think I bit the back of my jaw a bunch because it swelled so much. All-in-all it wasn't something I would want to do again, but on a scale of inconsequential-to-OMFGWTFBBQ!11!!!, I give it a meh.

Don't use straws with your milkshakes.

The day I got my third molars removed was probably the best day of my life... though I remember very little about the whole affair!

[Trashcan]

Meh, no big deal but I have had ALOT of injuries so it depends on how you handle some pain in the back of your mouth. I had all 4 out at once and went to dinner 6 hours later and was able to eat pasta (could only taste in the front of my mouth though).

Word to the wise (pun intended) keep the holes clean and free of food or you will have serious hot garbage breath!

[JimmyCarter]

Actual removal pain is nothing. Dry socket pain is fucking awful, not so much from the level of pain but the consistency of it.

[Trashcan]

Agreed on that. I lucked out with no socket pain.

Ate all the painkillers though.

[Sierra Hotel]

Do yourself a favor and make sure you do them all at one time. Just have them do the lcoal so you an hear them let go when they yank them out. Kind of makes the bone breaking sound inside your head. I saw the room and elected on the spot for no genreal anthesia as the place looked like a third world country in that regard.

The first 6-8 hours were not a lot of fun, but after one day it wasn't a big deal. Just don't wait until you're 35 and I am sure it is a lot easier.

I had Bill Baker from the 80 Olympic Hockey Team do mine, he was pretty cool. Have fun!

[blackhand]

got all four of mine out at the same time also. i never had too much pain and didn't even get pain medication but the worst part for me was the horrible feeling you get when biting down on gauze: it's like nails on a chalkboard but right in your mouth. also the constant taste of blood isn't the best

[72Twenty]

Also, be sure to have a can of Skoal handy for afterwards.

Seriously P - take it easy and do what they say. You'll be fine.

[bagtagley]

You're gonna have to shotgun your weed for the next week or so.

[Nathan Explosion]

You don't need to pay a dentist to do that. Just get a friend with an impact drill and good aim.

[ak_powder_monkey]

just got IV sedation holy shit that was weird... First time in my life I don't remember something, I figured I'd go to sleep or something so I'm all thinking ok time to sleep now and they tell me I'm done... Fucking weird right now I'm high as shit... Damn except where they put the IV hurts like hell

[filthyfrenchbum]

Went to the dentist 2 days ago, turns out I need them out, and it will be on the 18th (next week) because it will save a grand. First off, am I fucked for stuffing my face on christmas? If I take pain meds, will it make skiing bearable, say the next day provided I don't jump off anything (I think the two I need taken out are still in, so I'll need stitches and that shit)? Not stoked at all about getting this shit done during the winter break when I could be skiing, instead of during school.
