AMA Having my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow

AMA

Also, tips to survive being in a delirious state while in pain afterwards would be nice.

PSU · June 27, 2016, 10:30:04 PM

Percs and Oxys.

Basically just pop whatever they give you for the next 48 hours for pain and then sell the rest. You'll literally just sleep or be assed out on the couch.

Tip: don't be a little bitch

DisturbedMind883 · June 27, 2016, 10:31:41 PM

do you trust your dental?

Ian · June 27, 2016, 10:32:49 PM

I have plans the following day with a group of friends, one of them had their wisdom teeth pulled before and she said I'd be okay the following day (I have to be since our meetup place is a 20 minute drive from where I live). Will I be fine the following day? I really don't want to cancel.

Difficult since this will be the first time I'll ever be put under with drugs.

You should be good. I mean, I only had to get 2 pulled. I COULD have done stuff the next day, but I just decided to be a lazy ass and pop some oxys and I believe I watched like 4 harry potter movies. Great day.

but yeah, you should be good. Just be careful with the painkillers they give you afterwords.

Ian · June 27, 2016, 10:38:53 PM

Well I'm getting all four extracted but it's at 9:45am so I have the whole day and night to recoup since the doctor said the procedure will only take up to an hour at most.

I got all 4 of mine out and I didn't even get any fun side effects, my friends didn't even know I had it done til I told them

Tyger · June 27, 2016, 10:54:28 PM

I got mine taken out during a seven hour orthognathic surgery

The surgeon was like fuck it I'm in here anyway might as well grab these too

Naru · June 27, 2016, 10:54:43 PM

really depends on your reaction to the anesthetic. within a few days youre fine

Stroud · June 27, 2016, 11:01:14 PM

I probably don't need my wisdom teeth pulled out. Lucky me.

Cheat · June 27, 2016, 11:04:01 PM

I straight up couldn't walk after I got mine taken out, but IMO they probably gave me too much juice.

You won't know what the fuck is happening for a couple hours after and then for the next couple days your mouth will ache constantly, but it's not really that bad. Apart from not being able to eat normal food, I was 100% the next day.

Naru · June 27, 2016, 11:28:50 PM

how many of them are you taking out?

Jono · June 28, 2016, 02:16:03 AM

Tfw you've been blessed with a perfect mouth and don't have any wisdom teeth

Luciana · June 28, 2016, 02:26:32 AM

Just take your drugs and relax for the next few days. Play some games, watch some movies, etc. Just make sure you STAY ON YOUR MEDS on the exact time you need to take them, or you'll be in a shit load of pain.

And obviously get soft mushy food. Be gentle, and when you have to rinse your mouth, don't swirl, and use lukewarm water.

Having mine pulled sucked, but my bottom right one was impacted, so they had to cut it in two, then yank each one out. That one had me down for the count for a while (I got all 4 pulled same day).

Naru · June 28, 2016, 03:08:32 AM

Thank fuck I was put to sleep fully during my extractions. Funny thing after I was in the wheelchair, I sent selfies to my girlfriend only and I didn't remember doing anything like that. I texted like a retard and looked like one too. The anaesthetic and laughing gas really fucks you up.

But really, depends on your reaction, I was out and about a few days later, like 3, but felt weird so I drank lots of water. Drink a lot of it, it'll keep you from fainting.

Luciana · June 28, 2016, 03:27:28 AM

I had that anesthetic and gas, and I didn't act like a retard

I was actually kind of disappointed

Ian · June 28, 2016, 11:38:40 AM

The only pain I'm feeling is from the numbness in the lower half of my face. How long is this gonna stay with me?

I also don't feel loopy at all.

Tyger · June 28, 2016, 11:39:04 AM

Did you die?

It's gonna be bad the first day or two

then just be a consistent sensitive thing for about a week or two

Ian · June 28, 2016, 11:57:48 AM

I was told the numbness would only be for 10-12 hours.

Ian · June 28, 2016, 11:58:17 AM

I would very much like to right now.

I went full retard sending pics. I don't even remember getting in the wheelchair and the car seat. I just remembered unlocking my phone and looking out the doorway.

mojo · June 28, 2016, 10:22:24 PM

bro no shit i literally just got mine out on sunday

Ian · June 28, 2016, 10:45:33 PM

The numbness went away after a nap around 3ish, mouth still aches like shit but overall I feel fine.

I was told to stay mostly to a soft/squishy diet but how necessary is that? I can chew and close my teeth just fine, it's just the edges of the bottom row all the way in the back that are in pain. Is having something like fries or meat really going to be detrimental?

i mean you shouldnt eat anything that requires too much chewing since you might reopen the wounds

id stick to the soft diet but if you can overcome the pain then go for it i guess
