[quote name='Mookyjooky']I had my wisdom teeth removed and let me tell you, be afraid...be very very afraid. I went under General Anesthesia and I kept waking up in the middle of the surgery, with no pain killers or anything...I was screaming as he pulled out the teeth in front of the Wisdom Teeth by accident. He said "Oh fuck" and jammed another IV in the other arm until I went under again. When I woke up I was missing 8 teeth and I had a hole through the left cheek where the drill slipped off and went through my cheek. He kept saying "Oh God Im sorry", but I was totally out of it and when he told me to wait in the lobby for my ride, I slipped and broke three ribs. I started puking cause of the pain and boy did the puke burn the empty sockets in the gums. It was a real scary experiance but I plan of just putting ice on them and praying this is all just a bad dream. Good luck with yours![/QUOTE]

Dude, that story has to be bullshit. If not - then I would sue your shitty doctor.
 
[quote name='The Successful Dropout']the regular dentist that i have will give me Codiene whenever i want, all i have to do is tell him my teeth hurt....but i don't take advantage of it because i dont see how people can addicted to anything such as drugs or alcohol....Codiene makes the pain go away and makes me fall right asleep....nothing else....i guess i just don't know what being "high" feels like because ive never done drugs....but if ive felt it before, it's nothing that special[/QUOTE]

Yeah I mean I've never been high either, but this stuff just made me so mellow. I just didn't care about what was going on around me. Yeah it made me sleepy too. Maybe my doc slipped me the "good stuff" on accident. Who knows.
 
[quote name='MrBadExample']Also remember, nirous oxide is your friend. :D[/QUOTE]
Actually, oral surgeons use sodium pentathol (C11H17N2O2SNa).

Nitrous Oxide is a gas, sodium pentathol is liquid, administed through an IV.
They can't work on your teeth if you are wearing a mask (for NO2), and if they just put it in your nose you will be inhaling air from the room and probably wake up halfway through.


And by the way, sodium pentathol is also known as "truth serum", so I hope you don't have any big secrets.

Mine was a gas and they use a mask that only covers your nose.

MBE is correct. They can and do you gas often with the nose only thing. Its in movies all the time. (because gas = more funny than IVs)

Yeah man, but you can't mess with your health. If you aren't healthy, there ain't much to life. Get that done.

If you start breathing through your mouth with an NO2 hose in your nose, you will wake up.

A sodium pentathol IV garauntees that you will stay out until they stop it.


Btw, MBE quoted an incomplete post while I was revising it.
 
[quote name='rabidmonkeys']A WEEK?!? For your wisdom teeth? I hope nothing serious ever happens to you like an ingrown hair, you might be out for a month ;)[/QUOTE]

Just going by what my dentist told me.

About 2 hours to showtime. I think I might nap for a bit, I can't keep my eyes open...
 
[quote name='Quackzilla']And by the way, sodium pentathol is also known as "truth serum", so I hope you don't have any big secrets.[/QUOTE]

Actually, many drugs were known as "truth serium"

"Barbiturates such as scopolamine, sodium amytal, and sodium pentothal were first touted as truth serums in the early 20th century. Because they inhibit control of the central nervous system, truth serums were supposed to induce a hypnotic "twilight" state that elicited a mechanical recitation of truth. In reality, though, the only good truth serums are found in bad science fiction"

Early 20th century medical knowledge doesnt hold a candle to what we know today or does it?
 
The best truth serum is torture.

Lifting findernails, sticking little scizzors in muclses then opening them, creative use of a small hammer, and the infamous needle in the eye.
 
UPDATE

Laaaaaame. I was pumped and totally ready to do this. But, there's a really bad storm on the horizon, and both the doctor and I are afraid that the power might go out during the procedure. So, it's set for this exact same time next week. At least now I can study for my final without being medded, and stock up on fluids and soft foods. I'll post the results next week.

Yeah that is lame but the more time to prep, the better.
 
I had all four of my wisdom teeth out when I was in high school and went to work an 8+ hour shift later that day. Bloody gauze and all. I remember I had to change my gauze every once in a while cause it got too bloody. I am sure everyone really appreciated that. :D I worked a stocking job at a grocery store so I was doing physical labor too. I can't believe your dentist told you you'd be out a week. I guess it hits different people differently. My sister in law was out of commission for over a week I think. :roll:
 
I'm getting 4 of mine out in 3 weeks, they're all impacted so I guess that isn't good. Best of luck to you though Led.
 
I'm getting my other bottom one out next month. It's not impacted but when I forget to brush, it gets sore.

can't wait for vicodin and anime all day for a few days!
 
I had my wisdom teeth removed a long time ago. I remember not able to chew solid food for a while. So stock up on your favorite soup if you are going to get your wisdom teeth removed.
 
all i really remember of mine is they told me to count back from 100.. i got to 98 and started laughing then they were like.. i guess its working.. then i passed out

then what seemed like a few seconds later i was being put in a wheelchair and taken out to the car, where i drove myself home. jk i didnt drive home, but still.
 
At this point I must make obligatory mention of my genuine pre-emptive wisdom in being born without so-called wisdom teeth.

Congenitally missing wisdom!!
 
when i got my first wisdom tooth taken out a couple years ago, the stupid dentist didn't wait until the area became numb; he started right after the shot! it hurt so much during it; the area finally got numb after he had taken the tooth out, haha. but then i heard him joking in vietnamese to my mom about how he accidentally took out too much skin along with the tooth (he didn't know that i understood vietnamese). my mom keeps trying to drag me back to that same dentist to get my other three wisdom teeth taken out; she's gonna have to tie me up and drag me there if that's ever gonna happen.
 
I had mine taken out earlier this year. I was eating boneless buffalo wings that night. It wasn't really bad at all, I barely used the pain medicine they gave me.
 
When I got mine pulled, they gave me too much anesthesia. I given novocaine on both sides of my mouth, since all four teeth were pulled, plus gas, plus anesthesia. I was out cold for about 14 hours after my teeth were removed. Supposedly they woke me up and sent me home with a bucket of ice cream and my parents carried me out to the car. All I know is that I woke up more than half a day later with bloody rags hanging from my mouth.
 
Hey, I have to get my wisdom tooth taken out too. I think my appointment is July 11. My dentist said she could just pull it out and I wouldn't need surgery like most people. She did say this after looking at my x-ray. Also, I wouldn't need to be put to sleep. I guess they'll just numb it.

So, my question is, would most of these experiences here be different from what I'll experience after the thing? Cause, you know, I'm not getting surgery there or anything like that...
 
[quote name='supadupacheap']Mine was pretty wild. They gave me the shot and a few minutes later asked if I could feel anything still. I said yes I could so they gave me another shot, then waiting. Went to check on me again, I could STILL feel it. At this point they couldnt give me more as Id had 2 full adult doses (and I wasnt a big guy at all) It wasnt awful but just kinda scary they doubled me up yet it didnt work as planned. [/QUOTE]

I swear I have had 4 shots in like a 40 minute time block, it's crazy, cuz I could STILL feel everything... It wasn't for wisdom teeth (not like they are wise, cuz they are lil smartass beotches) it was for a partial root canal... which I still need to go back and endur the blinding pain and finish... yay me!
 
This is all I think about lately. I have three more to go that really HAVE to come out in the near future if I want my mouth to survive. My first one was taken out about 3-4 years ago. It was so decayed and broken that it hurt ferociously, which is why I went to have it removed. So I could do things like, you know, think about subjects other than pain. The oral surgeon gave me a prescription for painkillers (the name escapes me at the moment), but the only pain killer I needed was the anti-pain of that bastard tooth being out of my mouth.

I wasn't put under, just given a local, but I did almost pass out. I'm not really afraid of dentists/doctors, per se, but just something about those environments seems to affect me in a passing-out kind of way. Even talking to a doctor about treatments for a family member with other family around just make my head swirl, and I can't understand why.

Wisdom teeth I don't understand. Can't they uproot the cells at the same time they snip our willies? It would save a lot of time. But then there'd be guys who would get their wisdom teeth put back, because they lost pleasure sensation while eating or something.
 
I had all 4 taken out a little over 2 years ago, it was pretty annoying with the stitches in because I couldn't fully open my mouth or chew without ripping the stitches.

On the plus side, you get to eat a lot of ice cream.
 
wow. some pretty bad stories here. My experience was pretty painless. Luckily I only had 2 for some reason. Not 2 that needed to be removed, 2 total. My top 2 didn't show I guess. I was asleep for the entire operation and pretty much slept the rest of the day. The following days were pretty normal. I had to stick to liquid foods for a few days but other than that it was fine.

Good luck. Don't worry about it too much.
 
i just had my top 2 removed recently..was suppose to be 3 but they didnt have the tools to take out the my bottom right. it was a pretty quick procedure too. i got some numbing shots to that top back area and then they just pryed them out. it was like 20 mins tops. i was eating pretty normally the next day too, just had to go slow and stuck mainly to not too hard foods..

oh the reason they couldnt do my bottom right was because they didnt have tools that allows them to break the tooth in pieces and pull it out little by little..i had my bottom left taken out a year ago and it was done the same way..

anyway have fun with your teeth removal :D
 
I'm lucky to never of had my wisdom teeth removed, or any other major dental problem outside of braces.

Good luck, and enjoy the sleep.
 
I've had two oral surgeries. The wisdom teeth, no sweat, I only need a day to recover. The hole in the roof of my mouth (I had an impacted tooth in the roof of my mouth) I still haven't healed fully and that was 2 years ago. Of course it did take awhile for the braces to move the tooth. But wisdom teeth are really not that bad. I had IV, which I was wary of because I don't like needles, but it was fine.

Ok, after much hub-bub and rigamaroll, it's finally done. The process itself was relatively painless. I don't remember much after the IV sedation started, but I was lucky enough to wake up right in the damn middle of it as they were jarring my head around. I was still pretty lucid, and at first was somewhat frightened because I couldn't even remember where I was or who these people were.

I've spent the day going in and out of sleep and taking hydrocodone. I'm actually getting a headache just typing this, so I'm gonna stop here. I'll try to update when I feel better. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Yeah, get your rest. CAG will go on without you. Hell, most people probably won't notice. Of course, these people should be killed. ;)
 
Mine was a good experience. My teeth were in good shape, though. Just impacted enough that they required extraction. I was eating pizza that night, carefully. I do remember playing FFX when I got home, though. I started to feel groggy and a little nauseated and it was all I could do to reach the next save point. The bright flashes of the Thunder Plains weren't helping either... After napping for a few hours, I was fine.

A much more traumatic experience was having two top first bicuspids removed while under only local anesthetic. It takes about 3 minutes of rocking with the dentist and his glorified crescent wrench to tear through the roots... And my sinuses hurt like Hell the whole time... The hygenist with "Mr. (blood)Thirsty" tried her best to soothe by telling me it was just "lots of pressure," but I knew that it hurt.
 
[quote name='suko_32']Congrats. I have to get my pulled this coming Monday..........[/QUOTE]


I'm pulling one of mine this Tuesday because it came out sideway and it has a cavity on it already... AND I bought tickets to the Final Fantasy Concert in San Diego a while ago for the 14th, 2 days after the surgery. I hope I'll be in decent shape to go. :(
 
Ok, feeling much better than earlier now. I've been drinking plenty of water, had some pudding, some chicken noodle soup, and some tuna sandwiches with the edges cut off. :lol: I can already feel my face puffing up, and I've been told it's only going to get worse over the next few days. I'll try to get some before and after pics up, to get an idea of just how bad the swelling gets.
