Whats it like to get your wisdem teeth pulled??
Question: Im going in to the oral surgen in about 2hrs to get all 4 wisdem teeth pulled. I am going to be put under ( or asleep ) whatever you call it. I have never been put to sleep before and im kinda scared about if I am going to feel anything during surgery or if I will be sick afterwards. Can anyone tell me what it was like for them having there teeth being pulled?
Answers: You'll be fine during the procedure, but its going to suck for about 2-3 days after. Your mouth is going to be really sore and you'll be eating nothing but McD's shakes and soup. The painkillers will pretty much knock you out too, which is a good thing.
The only thing to do is just sleep it off for a couple of days and know that you'll never have to do it again.
You won't feel a thing...until after you get home. Then you may start to feel sick. Plan to take it easy for at least a day or two. And I hope you like shakes...because they will make it a lot easier.
you will not remember anything i remeber waking up in twlight and go back to sleep waking up and it was done since you going to be under it will seem like it just took 10 minutes i was under iv sedation also you will be numb for hours so you will not feel pain right away
If you are going right under you really won't feel a thing, your might be a bit sore and groggy when you come round but the nurses will give you painkillers, you might be sick as anesthetic disagrees with some people, don't worry you'll be fine, i have to have mine out in march but i got to be awake, GOOD LUCK
well if you dont get anesthesia it will hurt like crazy...... after you get it pulled out (i only had one tooth pulled out) make sure YOU DONT smoke cause i did and it got infected........ take all your antibiotics too
I was put under and I didn't feel a thing. The medicine made me kinda sick and dizzy but it wasn't too bad. They give you a syringe so you can clean out the gaps where your teeth were and it's important to do that so you won't get dry tooth or something like that. Luckily I didn't get that. Just make sure to irrigate the gaps well.
The operation is painless. However, the pain kicks in after the operation. Be prepared to eat soft food for at least one week, and be prepared to take a lot of pain-killers.
Waking up from general anesthesia is tough. If you are afraid of being put under, ask for a combination of Valium and laughing gas. It's a very good alternative. You don't feel a thing, but at the same time there are no aftereffects.
Just be glad they're using anesthesia. Trust me it's a lot worse if they don't put you under. The anesthesia usually won't make you sick. You just pass out and wake up afterward without even realizing much happened. The after effects suck. It will be a bit painful. Just take your pain meds on schedule and you'll be fine.
I had to get mine surgically removed. Its actually no big deal going under. i was scared out of my mind about going under. All i remember was the nurse asking me were i was going to college at and then waking up.
you won't be sick. you just won't be able to eat hard foods. just things like pudding and jello.
They gave me pain killers,ice pack and a syringe to flush out the holes that they leave. it will be painful. i just had one side that had to be packed because the pain wouldn't stop. if you have any dificulties...go back and see the surgen.
painful
Besides me working in a doctors office for 3 yrs i can tell you from my personal experience that i had 4 teeth pulled which were my 2 molars and 2 wisdom. I was also put under i was 17 yrs old at the time. Everything turned out just fine except for the swelling........The swelling of your jaws might be a lil suprising but don't worry it will go away in about 2 days. I'd recommend that you don't have anywhere to go for the next 2 days. Just stay in the house and relax drink fluids and soup. Change you gauze aas needed. Talk as less as possible. I recommend that you have a strong pain killer like tylenol #3. Good Luck You will be just fine.
yeah. i just did this. it was okay, actually. much better than everybody said it would be. i was fine, not sick, not really even tired or out of it. i barely napped that day. make sure you follow their instructions. keep ice on your cheeks, take pain meds. they told me to alternate between vicodin and motrin every 3 hours. that worked well, i was never really in pain. good luck. you'll be fine.
If you're put out during the procedure, you won't feel a thing. When you wake up, it will be all over, and your gums will most likely be numbed. Your dentist will most likely give you some sort of pain medication for the first few days. After the procedure, you will want to rinse the area gently with warm salty water and/or with any prescription rinse that your dentist prescribes. Don't rinse too vigorously so that you don't accidentally dislodge the clot and cause a dry socket, which IS painful (personal experience speaking here). You may have a couple of stitches where the teeth were; the dentist will let you know if you need to have these removed (probably not), or if they will dissolve on their own. Be sure not to drink through a straw for the first 48 hours or so, as this can also dislodge the clot; the same is true for fizzy drinks of any sort. You'll be sore for a while, but having the wisdom teeth out is SO much better than having them remain in place, since they are often ill-formed and considerably weaker than the rest of your teeth. You'll do fine!!
I had my wisdom teeth out under general anaesthetic. I didn't feel a thing. Being put to sleep felt kind of funny; they put an oxygen mask on my face and had me take deep breaths. The first medication they put in the IV made me cross-eyed, then I fell asleep as they put in the second and third medications. Some anaesthetic medications can burn a bit as they go into the IV-but you'll be asleep very quickly after the burn begins.
I woke up in Recovery with ice packs on my cheeks. I had next to no pain; the doctor had injected lots of local anaesthetic, just like I was having a filling done. They watched me for half an hour or so, then I was taken back to my room.
I stayed in hospital because I had trouble with asthma, but you will probably go home the same day. I did throw up a few times, and it was black-old blood. That isn't unusual; you will swallow some blood both during and after the surgery, and it irritates your stomach. It looks awful and scary, but it's not dangerous. Ask your surgeon or nurse to tell you what is normal and what isn't.
I was really drowsy the rest of the day, and then felt closer to my old self.
A few tips to make this as easy as possible for you-keep ice packs on your cheeks as much as possible the first 48 hours or so. Put ice packs, bags of peas, whatever, in two pillow cases, then tie the cases together and when you lie down, have one pillow case ice pack on each cheek.
Second, take your pain meds as often as you can the first two days or so. Don't let the pain get out of control. If the pill bottle says, Take one or two tablets every 4-6 hours for pain , take two pills every four hours for the first two days, when the pain and swelling will be at its worst. After the second day, take the pain pills when you are starting to feel pain-don't wait until you're in agony, because it will be harder to get the pain under control.
Third, keep soft foods on hand. Avoid foods that are sharp, require a lot of chewing or are sticky. You'll need softer foods anywhere from a few days to two weeks. I was eating chicken fingers three days after my surgery.
Fourth, make sure you keep the sockets clean and moist. My surgeon gave me a syringe with a curved tip (no needle) to gently splash warm water on the sockets where the teeth used to be after every meal plus when I would normally be brushing my teeth. If you aren't given a syringe like that, ask for a 10-20cc syringe from your pharmacy and gently squirt water in the general direction of the sockets, trying to hit the sockets if at all possible. This is especially important once the stitches come out.
At some point, the stitches in your gums will come out on their own-for me, it was when I swallowed about three days post-op. There was a 'pop' noise and suddenly there was an open hole in the back of my mouth. We called my GP, who reassured us that was normal, and to just keep the area clean and moist.
One bad side effect I had from having my jaw propped open was muscle spasms in my jaw-my lower right eyetooth was touching my upper left eyetooth. We called the surgeon, who said to take a hot water bottle and hold it against the jaw. It is a very uncommon side effect, but can still happen.
Good luck!
Well, incase your under anesthesia and awake, you don't feel anything but the noise of your teeth being pulling out from the cavities, but it really doesn't hurt.
What you have to remember is that, you have to be relaxed in order to have a better result of the anesthesia, if you are nervous, the anesthesia it's going to take longer to do its effect on you.
Finally, when you can feel some pain is after the surgery, but believe me, it's not a big deal. Besides, women have a broader pain threshold than men, you're ging to make it very well.
Take a handful of pennies and stick them in your mouth. That's approximately what it tastes like for a few days afterwards. Make sure you have some beverage like Ensure to take as meal replacements for a few days. Don't use a straw. You don't want to suck the little blood plugs out. After a while, they'll heal but your tongue will seem to be permanently interested in the new holes in your mouth. Just take all the medication the doctor gives you, especially any pain medication, and just relax for a few days. The gauze and stuff in your mouth gets a bit gross, but after a week you'll be pretty much set.
And have all of them taken out at once. That way you won't have to go through it again.
Basically, it is really gross for a couple days, but then its over. Good luck with it.
omg tell me how it is because im going to go get 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and i am so nervous and scared!!!
