Re: Off Topic 2011

WhiteSox, I got my wisdom teeth out about 2 years ago.

My recommendation if they have it for you, is to get the twilight stuff. Basically, it will put you to sleep, but they can wake you right afterwards and you'll be conscious.

Oh and...I don't know if you have ever had your lips numb before but be prepared for annoying lips. I didn't have any bleeding, so hopefully yours goes as well as mine did. Pain is not bad at all, only bad thing is those damn stitches and the holes afterwards.

I can't imagine anything involving art history being anywhere near pleasant.

Very true, I'm not interested in this crap at all, but the presentations themselves were awful as well. On had over 300 words on a few of its slides. Colors didn't blend well to help you see text. Some lacked info. Another one bad too much. There were a couple good ones. But mostly this was bad.

Bingo. I've heard nothing but good things about it, and that there is no real reason for GA.

Let me put it this way:

I felt like I was in the chair for about 10 minutes, and then I was done. And there is no real groggy aftereffects.

Re: Off Topic 2011

So there was no pain? That's what I am planning on doing, while accompanied by an IV to make me basically not care and forget.

I am just not comfortable with the risks associated with general anesthesia, so it's good to know it won't be that bad.

I've had 10 teeth pulled in my life (8 at one time). Like Chef said, hearing and slightly feeling (not a painful feeling if they numbed you right) the tooth be cut is the worst part.

I was born without wisdom teeth though, so it could be a little different.

Re: Off Topic 2011

So tomorrow I get the keys to the new townhouse and will start moving smaller items out. I'm thinking of moving all my sports DVDs out that day.....all 13 boxes ARGH!

Oh and Giggas that's pretty cool. It really does sound like a nice place to live. I hope it works out

Re: Off Topic 2011

They say the worse part of wisdom teeth is the bleeding.

I had no bleeding so I was fine. Obviously a little pain but not too bad.

I wouldn't be too concerned. Unless you are going to a hack dental surgeon, you'll be fine.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Getting all 4 wisdom teeth out tomorrow. Quite anxious/concerned/worried. I've already ruled out general anesthesia, I'll probably get some intravenous sedation (IV that's supposed to make you not notice the time and forget everything) along with local anesthesia.

Has anyone had theirs out? Were you knocked out?

Had all four of mine yanked out, was totally out for that. It wasn't too bad, a bit of a annoyance for a few days after.

Oh yeah, I'm not too concerned about the after stuff, I was previously worried about being knocked out. As irrational as it sounds, I am really, really apprehensive to resign myself to that, so it's nice to know alternate options work. Thanks.

No pain. Just the feel of the whole thing.

It did hurt for a few days after it was done, but a dull ache. Motrin took care of that.

And I don't remember any bleeding after.

Drooling with your lips numb is worse than the bleeding. Only because it makes you look like an idiot though seeing as half the time you can't even tell its happening.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Great sunny day here, 24ºC with a warm breeze. It feels like being on November, spring close to summer despite being actually on winter. I'm loving it but I have to do a project so I can't really enjoy it.
