I get my wisdom teeth (all four) out tomorrow at 1pm. Right now I'm reaching the peak of my valium effects.. the doc gave me a couple to take the night before, ad also an hour before the procedure. I feel so heavy and out of it. Surprizingly I'm not too sleepy, but .. just so heavy and flustered. Apparently, they're going to knock my ass out cold with a morphine IV and possibly some gas before-hand. I will be one drugged-up dude. I guess it's coming full circle, because I've had to recently take a break from smoking bud so I can drug test for a job, if they decide to call me. My thought processes right now are the same as when i'm sober, to an extent, but shit is just slower and all that. Much unlike the effects of weed, where the way I think is much cooler and I'm not heavy and feeling ssleepy. I don't very much like this crap valium stuff, or pharms altogether. Fuck 'em. Apparently I get more narcotics such as vicodin after the surgery, too. I hear it makes you constipated.. fuckin.. piss me the hell off. Anybody else have a story to tell about wisdom teeth shtuff?
ah I think that's bullshit that they charge extra for putting you to sleep, they know it's painful, it should be included
I got very sick from the anesthetic or something. For the next 2 days I suffered more from horrible nausea, and surprisingly little from the pain of the tooth extractions. If I'd known there was an option, I would have not wanted to be put out. Its unpleasant either way I guess. Good luck
I had mine taken out in August. It was a bitch. The pain wasn't too bad, but enough to bother you. The vicodin was nice but went very quick.
Where I live there are no dentists so the only thing you can do is wait - watch it turn black - get an absus then goto to hospital and have em pull it out for free - free pain.What a deal.But yeah - is very very expensive if you pay.Last time - I cried - even though I'm 33 - just too much pain.But I was laughing at the same time and I told her she did a good job - even though I couldn't feel any of my face and couldn't pronounce any words
): I hope you are doing okay. I had all 4 of mine cut out last friday. I got put to sleep with an iv and am glad I did. I am still in pain. Anyone know if this is normal?
anal surgery... or worst yet Deep-anal surgery sound much worse... and more promising in the discomfort area. i need my wisdoms out too... but hey... there is always someday...
General Anasthetic is a)more expensive, b)might require the supervision of an Anasthesiologist and c)much more dangerous. I don't see why they shouldn't make it more expensive and thus discourage it. Really, suck it up and go for the local freezing.
I had two of mine removed. I only had the novacaine shots and it wasn't too bad, but I was in A LOT of pain prior to that as both were broken (I grind my teeth), so just having the pain end was a relief and made everything else seem like a piece of cake. I actually did ask my dentist about being put under prior to that as I am a big baby when it comes to teeth and dentists and my dentist at the time basically said that it was not worth the extra costs and risks to be put under for tooth extraction... yeah... uh-huh... eh...
yeah i did fine with a local, and they had to crack the bottom two to get them out. people are babies.
i got mine out like two weeks ago. not a very big deal. they drug you up, an hour later you stumble out, and then take more drugs. they gave me some vicodin but i didnt need it, i just took some antibiotic and some asprin. the worst part was it being hard to eat. :$ it would have been way worse if i left them in.
a couple wisdom teeth? sorry i can't see the pain in that.. that would be a good visit for me.. try having reconstructive work done.. i had 9 teeth taken out with a police stick when i was 19.. the rest were so badly damaged that they did not last much longer.. result 11 absessed teeth..end result false teeth by age 20.. which is worse the thought of pain.. or the pain of thought.. i say the latter.. how many times have you thought " i wonder if they will notice i have fake teeth"?.. at age 20 that thought should be nowhere is site.. peace, love, give to live..
Oh how horrible! I really feel for you! My Dad got false teeth last year and he is still self-conscious about it. I don't think he will ever NOT be...
