Wisdom teeth *shudder*

i got one coming soon.
my left top wisdom tooth had to be yaked because i had
a cavity as big as the grand canyon, and rather than get a root canal,
which held a slim chance of saving the tooth, i told them to just yank it.
i was awake through it, and it didnt hurt...but the sound has haunted me for
some time.

interesting note: your teeth are kept in place partly from the force of the opposing tooth pushing it in its socket. so, with that tooth missing the bottom tooth has been rising out for the past 2 years. i have to go soon to have it yanked, since it is obstructive.... and i am not looking forward to it 🙁

Sorry, to hear about that Julie. I know how you feel. I was in pain for a while about a week and a day. Bearly could eat anything, only like applesauce stuff like that. I only had 3 of them, and they were all impacted...it sucked...but it's over with which is a good thing.

😑 it hurts.

You know what I meant. 😉

I'm probably going to have to get mine out soon. I have two in and they're killing me.

i had 2 teeth out a few months ago didn't hurt to much i was to concerned about my top getting blood on it, bad dress sense by me i wore white didn't get no blood on it though so I'm happy

hey guys i am having my wisdom teeth removed on tuesday...the horrible thing is that i havent seen my girl in two months, and i am going to see her on the saturday after the surgery (4 days after)...do u think i will not have chimpmunk cheeks, or bad breath?

thanks in advance

i wouldnt worry. swelling usually goes away in a day or two.

and what about the bad breath, am i going to be able to kiss her, without her complaining about it?

another question besides the bad breath, i am 20, and i only have problems with one wisdom teeth, and it just started 5 days ago, i can see it comming out on the back of my mouth, what are my chances of painless surgery, because i read before, that it depends on ur age, and the time they started growing...

thanks in advance

please, some one answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It still depends though. I was swollen for about 5-6 days and have known others like that as well.

jgon - what do you look like? Typically white blonde people swell up easier and longer.

well i am mexican, weight about 170 and 5'9". i am not dark skinned, i am light, almost white.

hey guys...please respond...i really want to know if i will be ready for my gf...

Well, I had to get my wisdom teeth removed because they were growing at the wrong angle and pushing up against my other teeth. I took penicilin for while too, before they got taking out, to help fight infection if it occured, just to be safe, but i never got an infection. The bad thing about it was, my wisdom teeth hadn't broke the surface yet. There were a bunch of things that could go wrong and i was worried about that, i could lose feeling in my lip for ever if they messed up a nerve and it something could of gone wrong with my sinuses or nose or something, since they had to dig deep under my gums to take out my teeth. Of course i was put to sleep for this procedure. Luckily nothing bad happened, it was successful. On the ride home, I got agitated very easily by little things and i even puked. I also had chipmunk cheeks,lol. Luckily this was doing the summer and i didn't have to face everybody at school with my new look. I didn't think that the stitches would ever come out of my gums.

I'm guessing no. But it's different for everyone...

My g/f came over 2 hours after mine were pulled (june of 2003)

She didn't mind the horrible breath, or my lack of speech...but then again, we weren't apart for 2 months like you and ur g/f

I was swollen until the 5th day

I had bad breath until the 7th day

She is still with me though 😛

The percocet was extremely fun

I got my wisdom teeth taken out - and it I had to have only 3 of them out--

they had to cut through the skin - one of them was really infected- anyways it all took about 5-10 mins - the dentist put about 6 shots in my mouth

i threw up later that night after I tried to eat some soup. puke

thank for the info. i am really worry about it...and they are going to pull out only 1 wisdom teeth (bottom), i guess i am disspointed to see my g/f under those conditions (bad breath, pain, and chimpmunk cheeks, etc)

jaime h.

only two more days to see the dentist...
i am really freaking out about it...

do you think baby food will help to get through the first days?
