Wisdom teeth
I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled in a few years, and it scares me! Give me the gory, painful details please!
Answer:Don't stress about it, the worse thing that could happen to you is a dry socket, which can be painful but is fixable. I got mine out two years ago and had no problems. I was out for the entire procedure and was kinda groggy for the rest of the day, but other than that I had extremely minimal swelling and no bruising.
Seriously, if you're still waiting a few years for it, then put it out of your mind until then, it's really not that big of a deal.
In a few years!? Girl why have u started to worrry about it now?
In any event...They do hurt..I got put under and was somewhat aware of my surroundings. The dentist gave me a ricky martin cd to listen too...(yeeeeks) Thank god he put me under!!
And i was swolen like a chip munk ...but ate lots of ice cream and banana baby food! Yummo!
call me sadistic but I loved the procedure. I had a really great oral surgeon and I was totally comfortable in his office. At the consultation he gave me the little "you might not wake up, it could be infected, you could die" speech and I was a little scared, but 2 weeks later when I came back for the operation, things were great. I opted for general anesthesia--so I was totally out of the operation. When I woke up, I was pretty out of it, but by the end of the first day I was doing much better. They hydrocodiene was great--it kept it to a dull pain, as long as you took it every 4 hours.
