wisdom tooth removal

[spliff(TONE)]

The procedure didn't bother me at all. The medicine and the pain the next few days sucked though. Couldn't even enjoy sitting around drinking milkshakes and watching cartoons. Plus, my cheeks blew up like a cartoon squirrel and I got this foul looking yellow bruising from the top of my throat to the top third of my chest.

They gave me an IV and told me to count back from ten. I got to 6, passed out, woke up and started to say 5 but then I realized the surgery was over.

You'll be fine.

True it seems to me he just wants the cash...hes a good dentist but i dont see the reason to go in twice..all he said that i can at least eat on the side that wasnt operated on. But again i rather go through it just once.

It may also be that your insurance carrier has a cap on the $$$ amount or number of procedures that can be done at one time. True, this costs them more in the long run, but it also safeguards the insurer from doctors who overbill for "needless" add-on procedures.

Thanks bro i will opt for general anesthesia. I want to wake up and know its all over.

So all 4 at once sounds like a plan.the not eating solid food i can deal with.i just dont want to go through that **** twice.

Trust me, you'll be acutely aware of all of the solid foods that you're craving, but can't eat. It's torture. Stuff that you never thought about eating will pop into your head. And every food commercial will be agonizing. Yes, even Jack in the Box. It sucked. But that was the worst of it for me...which basically means that the procedure was largely uneventful and issue-free.

Damn, that's pretty bad. At least hold out for Round Table Pizza. That PH crap will kill you.

I hear you. Round Table is pricey and they have limited delivery, but they're at the top of my list as far as chain pizza restaurants go. I spent most of my college years eating Fat Slice and Blondie's Pizza in Berkeley. Immediately after I had my wisdoms pulled I would have gladly walked barefoot from San Jose to Berkeley on a broken glass road for just a whiff. Hang in there, man.

It was easy...i laid down, flt a tiny pinch in my arm, then next thing I know I'm loopy as can be without a care in the world biting the nurses finger in the recovery room as she's putting the gauze pads in. It's all easy...I was nervous too but you have nothing to worry about.

just had mine removed on Wed now im having eye pain when i rub my right eye did anyone else have this problem

Nope. Could it be an allegic reaction to the pain meds? Also, are you using ice at all? I'm no doctor, but if the discomfort persists, give yours a call. I'm sure it's probably nothing to worry about, but you never know.
