Wisdom Tooth? FUCKING OUCH


thank god its getting yanked in 3 hours.

I actually had one yanked 2 days ago, now the other one is being a bitch.

had bottom two pulled when I was 18, they said top ones were gonna be fine. Yea if fucking fine meant they would die and get infected 8 years later assholes.

I expected more from this thread....

When I was in high school, I went to work one afternoon and had to leave because of this sudden pain from a tooth. It had hurt/been sensitive earlier, but all of the sudden the pain was over the top.

I went straight to the dentist. He informed me that a wisdom tooth had come through my gumline(?), without a proper crown(?). It had a sizable hole in the top, and had left the root exposed. This was moments after we'd argued about which tooth was hurting. I swore it was in the top front. He ended the argument by sticking a tongue depressor in the back of my mouth and instructing me to bite gently. "Gently my ass, the tooth giving me trouble is in the front". So I chomped on that sucker.

Since then I've never questioned a dentist's instruction, I think I'd punch his assistant if he told me to.

In the end, emergency extraction to save the day. YAY oral surgery.

Yeah, especially the part where it smelled like rotting flesh at the end, right before the surgery.

I'm so happy that those things are gone, the whole ordeal was horribble. I've never even had a cavity, so I was terrified of the surgery. I wish I could say that it wasn't so bad, but I get dry socket afterward, and that was more painful than the tooth infection was.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT drink from a straw for a few weeks.

Glad to hear you got it out, and so fast.

Surprised actually--I had the same thing happen to me about ten years ago, and my dentist back then told me they couldn't take it out until the infection was wiped out. That was on a Monday, and they scheduled me for oral surgery the following Saturday (with all four wisdom teeth targeted for removal; only my upper right was infected), gave me a ton of Codeine 3 and Penicilin and sent me on my way.

The pain was so bad, that even hopped up on Codeine 3, I could not get to sleep. I can only imagine what it would have felt like without the drugs. It took 2-3 days to get the infection pain down to a dull ache (Penicilin takes a couple days to really kick in against an infection), and the whole time I could barely catch a wink. 48 hours of pain. Damn, that sucked.

Although the pain was down considerably by the time my surgery date arrived, it was a blessing to get that tooth removed. Everyone always talks about the pain of wisdom teeth surgery. You kidding me? Surgery (although weird, I was awake for the whole dern thing, four teeth cracked and yanked from my mouth while I was numb but perfectly conscious) and the after effects was like a gift from God next to what I had been through before that.

Still the worst pain I have ever felt in my life.

So I hear ya, man.
