Can someone tell me how we can go to the moon, microwave food in seconds, play amazing video games yet no one out there can figure out how to remove a wisdom tooth without horrendous pain? Why!?!
Monday I had a second lower removed and it was a nightmare. One hour of drilling, cutting, and two people trying to yank the damn thing out of my head. Nightmarish pain only hours after the massacre and now the side of my face looks like I\'m storing a baseball in my cheek.
Anyway, anyone out there have it done without an issue or with even worse results than me?

I had my two lower wisdom teeth removed about 2 years ago, and it was really easy. I opted for the happy gas, but I probably didn\'t need to. I was just nervous about it. I also bought the pain pills right after the procedure, but I never took them. I had very little pain, just a weird feeling with two holes in my gums. I did take some ibuprofen, but that\'s it.
I think you must have had some unusual roots if the extraction was so difficult. It depends entirely on the individual. Some will have problems, and others will skate through.
Sorry to hear about your ordeal.
-
Thanks, Core.
They had to stop halfway through to get an x-ray and then they were a little confused at what they were seeing which made my heart drop. I had the feeling that something was wrong and they were going to put me under to finish. Luckily after a little more pain therapy they stitched me up. This was at the Mass General so I was dealing with the best . . . I think.
I\'ve talked to people who\'ve had all four out without much of a problem which amazes me.
Oh, thank the Lord for Percocets!!!

On Monday,
the dentist removed what she called root canal...they stick this pins up between the two spaces between my two teeth. She saw, drill the gap between my two teeth on the upper left jaw to make it bigger so she can poke the root canals on the gum or something. She removed 3 out of 4 root canals, the 4th one was difficult for her. So she took many x-rays to find it. She said its there on the x-ray picture, but she couldn\'t get it looking it through my mouth. Everytime she try to stick up the pin, it bend and it didn\'t reach the last root canal i suppose. So, I have about 5 or 6 x-rays of the same spot (i lost count and not that i am complaining since these x-rays doesn\'t hurt and i am wearing protective apron for it). Each time, she look at the negative and then saw drill the tooth more to make the space wider so she can reach for it. Finally, she got it, and then she put cement metal pins to fill up the gap then she crown it. The first crown she put up, it broke. Finally, she got the 2nd crown up all right. This took 3 hours, I came in 10 A.M. and have it started and done at about 1 P.M. And she took her last and probably the 7th x-ray and I am done.
Now, everytime I touch the upper left jaw where it cemented with my lower jaw, it hurt.
Honestly, even till today, I am still not sure what is root canal is and wonder why need to take it out for? Anybody here know much about teeth or gum here?
-
i think i have wisdom teeth coming in, ive had teeth taken out b4 - it basically just involoved them sticking a needle of anasthetic in my gum then yanking the old thing out, was wuite sore but not the worst thing ever, maybe urs was somehting different - to be perfectly honest im 2 tired to read it all :)
but in cosallation ive been listening to ur music for ages now - very good stuff keep it coming. :)
-
I\'ve had several root canals and to be honest they were painless for the most part. I almost fell asleep during one of them. A root canal is basically the dentist killing the root from the inside, I believe. The tooth will then need a post and a crown.

You\'ve made my day! Maybe my week. :)
-
I\'ll probably have to get mine taken out, but you should have opted for the gas. I\'ve used the gas and they could kick me square in the nuts for hours on end, and I would have just giggled.
-
pfft, you\'re all whiney pussies. I had a molar removed from my bottom right because a tooth had come through rotten without a crown. Because of this my adult molar decided to push through the tooth and pretty much break what was left into quarters. The nerve was still quite alive and i felt about 1 week of the most painful s@#t I’ve ever felt.. When the tooth was removed and my molder to move freely i had never felt such relief.

How is your whining any different than our whining?
-
I had all four out at the same time, and all of them had 4 roots, which they said was pretty uncommon. The only proble I had with it was the fact it sounded like they were breaking glass in my mouth, I opted for the happy gas so I was basically half asleep. The pain afterwards isn\'t too harsh.
Although my gf got hers taken out and then she had dry socket, man that hurts like a mother-****er, she was in quite some pain for a few days.
-
I fear the dry socket. I figure if I get past day three that shouldn\'t be a problem but I\'m not sure.
-
Had to cut bone away with my last one. Don\'t feel bad Ace.
-
I had 4 removed when I was 17. Half the age and twice the man you are Ace. Did it no sweat.
Oh wait, they gave me gas and I don\'t remember a thing. Doh.
Oh yeah, the sockets. That was awesome. You have steak and then hours later if you are still hungry just use the water and squirt out a t-bone.

and this is the reason my best friend (who is a dentist) told me to go to an oral surgeon I slept like a baby....

Imagine having your teeth ripped out without any shit to stop the pain, now imagine having that pain for over a week. Then you\'ll know what pain is. 1 Day of pain is nothing compared to basically having a nerve crushed between 2 tooths.
-
two tooths= teeth
-
Not in Austraila.
according to The Outback restaurant chain, they have lots of f*cked-up words for stuff. Like "tucker"=food.
You know, back in the 1800\'s, they probably considered retarded people criminals too, and shipped \'em off.
:D
-
I\'ve never had any problems with mine, as far as I can recall, they are still in there.
-
I had all four of mine removed in one sitting. They had me knocked out for it. I tried not to get them to put novicane in me for afterwards. They told me it would hurt afterwards and said it will only be for a few hours. Within an hour and a half-2 hours, the novicane in the back wore off, where the teeth were. I had my teeth taken out at like 10 in the morning. The novicane didn\'t fully wear off until like 11-11:30. I was pretty active for having the anestesia when I got home. I milked it to get my mom to give me food and stuff :) I wasn\'t in that big of pain. I thought the pain killers made me feel good.
-
Had all 4 removed when i was seventeen, gave me the gas, and i was laughing like crazy, they say you ethier laugh or cry.Ilaughed when they finished and bawled like a baby when i got home, i was very sore for a couple of days

I had all 4 of my wisdom teef removed 4 years ago. They put me to sleep. When I woke up, I kid you not, there was a bruise on my left shoulder. THE FREAKIN\' DENTIST USED MY SHOULDER AS LEVERAGE TO PUSH AGAINST MY SHOULDER WHILE HE PULLED MY WISDOM TEEF OUT WITH HIS OTHER HAND!

I got bruised but on my face. The Doc was using the side of my face for leverage and it hurt like a bastard and I had to stop him.
-
Yeah? Well, apparently, he used my chest as leverage also. He probably put his knee against it. My freakin\' titties hurt for a week! And I ain\'t got no titties!

I belive the dentist might have used you as a "fun" toy without your knowledge...

My ass did hurt. And my belt buckle was undone. No one cares about foreplay anymore. Shame.
-
I didn\'t have any bruises or hurts on any other part of my body. They might have cut my wisdom teeth out.

are you braindead? and yep, we do have slang like any other country on the planet.

I actually had my wisdom teeth removed very much painlessly. It was prolly a combination of fortunate root development and the age at which they were removed, but I didn\'t need to be put under, and I really didn\'t think it was that bad at all. I ended up going out that same night.
Of course, my points of comparison might be a little different from most people. I haven\'t exactly had the most pleasent dental history :(. Best memory: chipping my two front teeth in half. Actually, about 1/3 of each was left in place, the other 2/3 ending up mostly in my upper lip. Happened when I was high sticked playing hockey.
-
Does laughing gas actually make you laugh?
I thought that was just a saying.
-
Nitrous Oxide aka laughing gas as far as i know doesn\'t make u laugh. It can make you high.
personally amazed its still used. I\'ve yet to come across a dentist these days that does use it.
-
:stick:

I got injected on the arm. That sucker put me out in less than 5 seconds. I think they use that on runaway Rhinos.
-
I was injected, gassed, novicaned. I had the works to make me high. The gas is the shiznit though. I love the gas. It makes me feel really really good :)
-
You are all a bunch of soft tarts, I only ever have local injections, within an hour or so, the effects start to wear off.

Wisdom teeth are in the VERY back, and yes...they hurt like a frocking beyotch. I had all 4 of mine removed. Fun stuff :rolleyes:
-
I wonder what they did for the wisdom teeth during the middle ages, ancient time and hell, even 100 years ago.
-
maybe what Tom Hanks did on Cast Away...

Yep, I still have mine, well 3 of them. Some doris in the pub one night had too many sherberts. She cracked me in the jaw with her elbow and knocked half of one clean out of my mouth. I went to the dentist to have the rest removed.
It didn\'t hurt much, but it sure did bleed a lot.

i think the big bottle of pain killers i got was worth the one day of pain i had

Yes...children\'s teeth...and lay off The Simpsons ;)

Talking about wisdom teeth... I got one pulled today. :(
1 down, 1 to go.
-
Good luck!
I just got over the pain. It took about two weeks.
Was it tough to get your tooth out?

It wasn\'t tough for me, but it took a bit of work for the dentist. Turns out it had an extra root or something. They had to split it in two and then pull out each half.
I haven\'t had any pain yet, but it\'s only been a couple of hours. But luckily I got some prescription medicine, so I can get high if needed.* ;)
*Don\'t think it\'s that strong though. :p
-
all 4 of my wisdom teeth came in fine. I dont need to remove any of them. all my teeth are really straight. 24 years and still no cavities! OH YEAH!
-
Sammy, you got yours done at the dentist? I had to go to an oral surgeon.
