I have a question about wisdom teeth?

[campingteen]

i went to the dentist today and they said i need all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out. i would like to know what it feels like, how long is the surgery, how many days will i miss school

[lualesca]

Oh sweet i got 4 wisdom teeth pulled. You have come to the right place.

Does it hurt? It hurts after the procedure, not during the procedure if your dentist uses enough anesthesia. You can barely feel anything.

How long it takes depends on the position, orientation of the teeth. In my case i had two teeth that were in a normal position and were oriented correctly with the top part facing up (how it should be), those take around 15 minutes or less each to get pulled, They basically just remove them with pliers.
Then i have 1 tooth that was sort of lyingsideways and the dentist had to cut gum to discover it, then he pulled it out with pliers. This one took about 35 mintues i think, after taking it out he had to put stitches to close the wound.
Then the last tooth was lying sideways, but it was also kind of welded to the bottom jaw bone, so the dentist had to cut gum and the use a hammer and chisel to break the tooth free from the bone. This one took around 90 minutes alone, maybe more.

The way my dentist did it is, he extracted left top wisdom tooth, and right bottom wisdom tooth, then i returned 2 weeks later and he took the other 2 last wisdom teeth. They shouldn't extract both wisdom teeth from one side the same day, because of the pain, and that side of the face is gonna be so swollen. So in advance ask your dentist if he plans to do it this way or not.

I had all 4 pulled out at the same time and I wasn't put to sleep.

It's really not that bad. they numb you and then start cutting and digging and stitching. it took like maybe 2-3 hours.

the part that hurts is after when the numbness begins to wear off. you gotta get your painkillers ASAP or you're gonna be grouchy.

[Littlett25]

I have to get all 4 of mine out soon 😬 Were yours already out of your gums? Why weren't you put to sleep?

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 oh you'll be good :D I'm not sure but I got an x-ray one day and the dentist was like... you need all your wisdom teeth pulled out soon, so possibly? but I wasn't put to sleep because my parent's were being cheap and didn't wanna pay for the anesthetic lol.

[Littlett25]

I'm planning to go see my cousin who is getting hers out this week so I can see her reaction to the anesthetic lol!

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 oh she's gonna countdown from 100 and fall asleep somewhere around 89 lol. then it's gonna feel like she suddenly woke up and only 2 seconds past.

[Littlett25]

I mean after the procedure, y'know like when some people are super chatty and funny or really emotional haha I want to video tape it in case she is hilarious

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 oooh. XD hahahah yeah she'll be all delirious. you can use it against her later ;)

[Littlett25]

My brother is planning on recording me when I get it done this year 😂

How've you been dude?

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 oh gosh lol. try to remind yourself to just not doing anything at all :P hahaha.

i've been alright. recovering for the most part. 2017 is gonna be all Bert :) how about you? how is school? track? running? lifting?

[Littlett25]

I'm also going to keep my cousin from saying anything to her mom that she doesn't want her mom to find out 😬😂

Recovering! What happened? & I've been good, busy with school. I haven't had much time to do any lifting/running but I'm gonna try to get back into it!

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 hahahaha yes... keep it secret, keep it safe xD

i got into a motorcycle accident. but im able to walk again and im back in the gym. can't train other things yet but I'm working on it. hey take your time with it, no stress is the best. you'll get back into it when you can and get your strength back.

[Littlett25]

Oh my god... that's... my face is literally like :0 right now. I'm glad you're okay buddy!

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 really? hey i really appreciate that thanks :) yeah I'm doing much better now :D

[Littlett25]

That's great, you're tough so I wouldn't expect anything less lol! This is literally the #1 reason my mom never wants me to date a guy with a motorcycle

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 well i was wearing all my gear so thank goodness. my helmet saved my head. boots saved most of my ankle. jacket saved most of my shoulder and ribs. my ass was surprisingly okay xD

it is a risk ya know but... it is fun and it's what we love to do. some guys will give it up for their lover's sake. but if they love to ride then they love to ride. we risk our lives every time we take a step outside the door. but one thing's for sure, we're doing what we love :)

i know though, it's just a scary mess of a thought all the time lol.

[Littlett25]

I make my mother wear her helmet everytime she rides with her boyfriend. Just realized that she basically forbid me from riding with anyone even though she does lmao.

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Littlett25 everyone is and always will be a hypocrite about it. even fathers who ride themselves will prefer their daughters to NOT have a boyfriend who rides a motorcycle lol. it is what it is xD

He will Give you some Novane so you don't Feel Any.. Pain. You might just Feel some Pulling, is all.
Not a Big deal Today to Do it in One day. And your might Experience some uncomfortfulness when the Needle wears off, so Fill your Precription for Pain when you Leave his office, gauze in your mouth. At least for an hour or so.
You could Return to School the Next day, if you Want, or Take One Day for Yourself to Relax and to Feel your ol self Again, my Friend.
Good luck. xx

Thank you for the Vote of Confidence. xx

everyone reacts to the anesthesia differently. Some people have been fine to be up and about and leave the house the next day, others are bedridden for a few days. It doesn't hurt during the surgery because of anesthesia, but it will hurt after that wears off.

[Intraluminal]

The length of surgery depends on how deeply the teeth are buried and if the roots are entwined with other teeth etc. Overall I'd guess several hours including induction if you have anesthesia. Expect a fair amount of bleeding afterwards. they will likely NOT give you much for pain outside of Motrin or Tylenol.

Expect to feel miserable for a day of two, and lousy for another day. You might be able to force yourself into school the next day but don't count on it. I'd allow two days off as a minimum, but you may be tougher than me.

[reptocarl]

If sideways below the gum line like mine it hurts and you'll be down 2-3 days and swollen. Get all 4 done at once cuz if you do it piecemeal you won't go back. If they've came out and are just pulled it isn't so bad as long as you don't get a dry socket. Don't smoke, vape, drink with a straw any sucking action that might upset the packing.

[lukeedmonton]

These are all questions the dentist can/should have answered.
Get knocked out, it's the best.
You don't want to be awake for it.
I was sore for have a day afterwards.
If you get it done on a Friday you will be good to go my Monday for school.

[Dingsbums]

Mine was 45 min but I had a very good doctor. It doesn't hurt but it can sound weird... I suggest to get some headphones then it's not even that bad. Theoretically u can go to school the next day but I stayed at home just because I can

[JenSCDC]

It varies a lot with the individual. For me it was no big deal. I could have gone into work right after the appointment.

[t_time]

ask to be put to sleep. thats how i got all 4 out at once. but mine came out beforr they even came in

[Anonymous]

it takes about an hour it doesn't hurt because they numb your gums, you won't miss school unless its on a school day, you get a small pain hours after when the nova Caine wears off, as if you lost a tooth when young but it heals fast.

[DidDesiDooThat]

OMG so scary! How do you know when your wisdom teeth even come in? Do you feel it?

[_HimigNgKalayaan_]

Oh my oh my. Ur gonna be in a world of numb then pain
