Wisdom tooth surgery tomorrow

You will be fine in a month or two, good luck i hope all goes well.

 

Yay!! Finally!! You are going to be so happy you did this, radou. It's no big deal. I got mine done in the morning and went out to rent videos that afternoon. Ask the doc if you can have Vicodin for recovery - it's great stuff.

 

I only had one. The dentist applied a local anesthetic. After a few minutes he came back with pliers and tried to pull the tooth with one hand - then two hands - then he put his foot on the arm of the chair for leverage - and the finally came out.

Good luck tomorrow.

 

Astronuc, that would have been a lovely story to share some other time! :grumpy:

 

Hmm thats intersting. I am getting mine out in the morning as well. My surgery is at 9AM and I am getting all 4 removed. I am going to be put to sleep though.

 

Anybody want to recommend me any movies. Preferably science fiction or things along the line of A Beautiful Mind.

 

:rofl: On the bright side, that was first time the dentist had to do that. Hopefully he hasn't done it since. I've always been tough on things.

 

Good luck. When my friend got hers out the dentist ended up dropping one of the tooth fragments down her sinus cavity and she had to get surgery to have it removed. That was awesome. But I'm sure it won't happen to you, you'll be fine. Another friend just had his removed recently and it didn't seem to bother him at all, he seemed perfectly fine when I saw him the next day and claims it was no big deal.

 

Good to hear it went okay. Follow the instructions they gave you and be make sure to keep the gauze in place. Cool liquids and all that. Happy healing!

 

Good news. Glad all went well.

 

Glad it all went smoothly. Of course, the gauze isn't sterile anymore if you've been chewing on it. :tongue: The most important thing is to resist the temptation to rinse your mouth out too soon, so you don't disturb the clot needed for the healing process. Relax and enjoy your excuse to take a long weekend off.
