I just got my wisdom teeth out this past week and it was not fun... Does anyone here feel like sharing their wisdom teeth experiences and how it was for you.

Everyone I've talked to so far has had a different story, so I was just wondering what you guys' had to go through.

Where are the wisdom teeth located again?

WAY back there. Right behind 12-year molars.

it was okay

Mine probably sucked because of the fact that they had to split all four of mine in half to get them out properly...

OWWWWWWWWWWW, I have heard about those stories

Some people get lucky, but getting all 4 out, usually requires cutting the gums, which means u cant eat anything for 2 weeks
IT sucks ass.

I was given a IV in my arm and I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep until I woke up.

They had to put me asleep b/c my wisdom teeth were still under my gums and pushing against my other teeth, causing me to feel pain and I had to take Penicillin a while before I actually went in to prevent infection b/c of the way my wisdom teeth were growing. And for the little parts that had grown above the gum, every blue moon in my life I'd go through these periods where I'd bite the heck out of my jaw with my wisdom teeth when eating or talking or something.

And the surgery could have left me with no feeling in my lips or something to do with my nose like smell or feeling b/c nerves were located near my wisdom teeth where they had to be operation done.

So I woke up and the first thing I noticed was that the thing that they put on your pointer finger had been moved while I was sleep to my other pointer finger.

I was done and wheel chaired out to the car with these cotton balls in my mouth and that was it.

Luckily this happened during the summer, so I wasn't in school for everybody to see my swollen cheeks or for them to see me changing my cotton balls all day long. Now that was annoying. Cotton ball after Cotton ball.

And it hurt to move my mouth and eat and talk and stuff. If I remember correctly, I puked on the way home b/c of the stuff they gave me to put me to sleep, but I could be confusing this with the other time I was put to sleep for something else with gas, which really made me sick for a couple days. I'll never choose gas again.

But yeah, it was a pain to eat. And I didn't think my stitched would ever come out, but somebody I knew who had it happen while they were in school, and she always kept her coat over her mouth to keep people from seeing her swollen face, but we could tell. And she told me how they dissolved and stuff.

For a while I had the stictches still in and like part of it would come out so it felt like a piece of string was protruding out of my gum and just flowing there and I could always feel it and I would try and get it out with my tongue.

Oh, yeah, I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed.

is it comprehensible.....

How long do the stitches take to disolve?

Also, when does the swelling completely go away?

Because of my biologically enhanced counterparts, my jaw was able to rearrange my teeth and make room for my wisdom teeth. Now they sit and assist my molars

i got mine takin out when i was 21... and it didnt hurt one bit, it took about 10-15 mins. -- I hade only 3 of them out (not all 4) and I even had to have stitches... didnt hurt at all and even when the anesethia (sp?) wore off, still was no big deal.

my face didnt even swell... i dont see what the big deal is

Ummm, then your surgery was a rarity.

Seriously, that's gotta be very rare to have such a painless/successful operation.

I never lost any teeth if that's what this thread is about, but I did have three dissolving stitches in my lower lip. There was this pencil tip hole where I could stick a piece of my tongue out.

wisdom teeth are teeth way in the back, like mollers... not everyone gets them

I have those, too.

My surgery went on for about 45 minutes I think (I was out for it so I'm not completely sure).

I had an I.V. and everything and it was generally pretty scary stuff.

They had to cut open the gums/split the teeth to get them out and then when I woke up, they moved me to a recovery room.

i was given the i.v. in the arm as well as the mask. it was damn good. the doctor, who coincidentally looked like hunter s. thompson which added to my haze, asked if i could still feel my mouth. i managed to mumble something, and he pumped me full of more sweet drugs. he told me to bring a cd and i brought siamese dream from the smashing pumpkins. holy shit. all my thoughts were green for some reason. when i came to, i fell down some stairs because i was still wobbly and my mom, who picked me up, couldn't carry me. and the moral of the story is, DRUGS ARE FUN.

oh, don't worry. i've fallen many times before and since that fateful day. both because of drugs and/or alcohol and sheer stupidity on my part.

Yeah, I had gas and an I.V. too.

an IV ?? seriously???

I just had an IV, but I never fell down.

is it comprehensible.....

I have one growing in normally, and one growing it crooked. As long as they don't cause me pain I'm not getting them removed, heard way to many horror stories about them.

i'm sure that as long as you don't go to some 'mob doctor' in a back alley, you'll be fine. and with your sig, you're scared of horror stories?

Yes, seeing as I've heard some people are stitched to the point of not being able to eat for several days...I love eating.

And besides, my dentist said that as long as they're not hurting me there's no reason to get them removed.

Takes up to a complete month

I had mine removed 10th grade, or age 15...

I had an IV, pure oxygen in my nose, and was put to sleep...woke up later with my mouth all bloody filled with gauze and felt like I had a fat lip (Numbness)
