Wisdom teeth out?

I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled, and I'm gonna be awake, I'm scared because the bottom 2 are impacted(running into the other teeth, horizonally). Anyone have this problem and had them out? Did it hurt at all?

Wisdom teeth out?
wow, you're brave if you're gonna get them taken out when you were awake...I had my four wisdoms (3 were impacted) out plus 2 other teeth out in one day in March of this year, and I was freaking scared just sitting in the waiting room, Luckily I made sure I was put to sleep, I remember when they were giving my the IV in my arm, and not mention my dentist guy was good looking it eased my pain. All I remember was getting the IV in and then waking up with them asking me whats my moms name lol. I had it done on a Friday morning, and I was out of it for about 2 days..I recommend you eat lots of ice cream, soups, and drink lots of juice so you could stay hydrated because i know when i drank water, the taste of blood was gross so i stuck to eating stuff with strong flavors to avoid the taste of blood as much as possible. Make sure to follow the after care and make sure you get lots of soup and ice cream at least to make sure you have food in your stomach because with the medicine they give you, you could get worse if you take the medicine thats strong and have an empty stomach.





I learned the hard way because I got sick and was throwing up alot, luckily I had my bf with me who ran to the drugstore at midnight to get me some nausea medicine which helped,, so before you get them pulled ask if you could get a prescription for nausea medicine...Just take you medicine and the pain wont be as bad, but im not gonna lie, you will be in serious pain for awhile, but try to take some medicine before the anestisia(sp) wears off after you get home.





I think the worst part was not being able to eat, the feeling of having empty spaces where you once had teeth, and having to look in the mirror when you clean out the blood and the pain when you had to brush your teeth the day after.. I think i went almost 2 weeks with sensitive teeth and feeling pain when i tried to bite into food. Try and eat lots of liquids and smoothies and ice cream, and when you are able to finally eat, make sure you eat really good to put back on the pounds you might have lost when not being able to eat.





Good luck honey, and dont worry, once you feel better, you'll be happy that is over and done with..See if you could get put to sleep, because thats better if you are scared, it costs more but i feel it was worth it all the way!!! Just eat, eat, eat, and rest alot, and just relax because everything will be fine :)
Reply:Mine were like that and I was awake when they were taken out. I had laughing gas, which helps you relax. I didn't feel a thing! The next couple of days I was sore, but the pain pills took care of it. Just follow your dentist's instructions carefully afterward, so you don't get dry socket, and relax. It will be fine.
Reply:i had all four wisdom teeth removed at once and i didn't feel a thing. they give you this anesthetic and it's like your in lala land. i was so sleepy afterward. there is no pain during it's the after! your mouth will be swollen it may hurt more because the bottom ones are the ones that seem to hurt more. it may be painful to open your mouth a few hours after, but the worst pain shouldn't last longer than 10 days after. i WOULD NOT want to be awake for this! i was awake when they took one of my molars (not wisdom teeth out) because it was rotten but it was not that bad. you don't feel anything but pressure in that case, but having teeth pulled that have yet to break though is painful, i would not want to be awake for that. my wisdom teeth were impacted also, but the anesthesia is necessary it helped a lot. my advice is ANESTHESIA!! Good luck!
Reply:that happened to me except the impact thingy. instead my gum where over my wisdom teeth so after i had the remove i had to go back to have my gums cut down. but dont be. over the past 7 years i have had so much surgery on my teeth. my parents have spent atleast 1 million dollars on them; no lie. i've had braces for 6-7 years, i had a dead tooth [ which they had to remove and take out this half tooth that was blocking my other "adult" tooth and they had to put a chain on it to pull it down; so juss imagine a tiny little chain sticking out of my gums attached to my braces], retainer, cavities, teeth removel, gums cut down, and some other stuff.





basickly i had alot of expericence with oral surgery. at first i was scared but i usually juss fall asleep or close my eyes. usually the doctors have music on or are talking to one another so i listen in. they might give you a shot. thats what the did to me.





some offer shots to numb you, laughing gas [which amazingly u dnt laugh and it smeels like soap], or they put you to sleep.





i think they put me to sleep.





but one thing you MUST do is follow their directions or you'll get a dry socket, those r not fun. they feel werid and they leave a funky taste in your mouth and they stink when you open your mouth. if you do get one, set up another appt. so they can fill it with this cream stuff. i never used it because by the time i relized i had it and set up the appt. i went away but for months i could taste it.





P.S. when my ma had a dry socket she said she could see her nerves and veins in the little hole. NASTY!
Reply:Years ago I had all my wisdom teeth pulled at one time and I was awake. They gave me SO much novocaine and then "laughing gas" so it was ok although I think I might of been a bit nervous at first. A few weeks ago I needed another molar pulled and it was really pleasant! I They gave me an IV and I went to sleep and it was over before I knew it! Try to get "put out", its a much better experience! Do follow their instructions for aftercare, and you should be fine. You will be a bit sore after, drink plenty of fluids (no straws) and take ibuprofen.
