Got my Wisdom Teeth out today

Post by marksiwel »

Got all 4 of my Wisdom Teeth out, and another tooth that back right Wisdom tooth had screwed up.
The weird thing is, i'm in little to no pain.
Is it because the teeth had allready broken the skin a few years ago?
The gums are tender, but they dont hurt.
I'm not taking anything stronger than Ibueprfon for pain.
I was knocked out for the surgery but that was at 7 this morning
I got a whole bottle of HydroCodone and another Script for a Refill, guess those are going in my Bug Out bag

I got all 4 of mine pulled a year ago. I thought I would lose weight due to not being able to eat much, but boy was I wrong. I gained like 9 pounds, I think because all I ate for 2 weeks was pudding cups, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. The toughest thing for me was not having sodas for a while. Good luck

Maybe he took out the wrong four teeth. "rlol"
All I know is when I had mine out they hurt like heck. I had to eat mashed potato milkshakes for about a week.

Funnything, my wife says the first thing I said when I "awake" (even though I dont remember leaving the office or getting home.) is asking for my teeth, have them sitting in some Bleach and Water as we speak. I dont know what I will do with them They are 3 Fully Formed Teeth and 2 Teeth in pieces.
I hope the local hasnt worn out, I'm not religious but I feel weird about taking Hard drugs for pain, that and I hear that stuff makes you throw up. I hate throwing up, I always worry I will choke to death, Hendrix style

on second thought, when I was passing two kidney stones this past September, Morphine was the greatest thing in the world. :lol:

Everyone is different. All the Navy dentist did for me was shoot me full of Novocain before he cut three of the four out in pieces and just pulled the fourth. I was awake the whole time. this was on a Monday. They told me to eat nothing but soup or things that didn't have to be chewed for two days and game some Tylenol w/codeine for the pain. I don't remember how many of those I took, but I was eating pizza the next day. Went back on Friday for a check-up and they said they had a hard time telling that all four had been pulled. See, they only put one stitch on the lower left and two in the upper left and no stitches on the right at all. The only reason they knew they had pulled anything was the stitches on the left side.

My wife was miserable for three days after having one tooth pulled and she was knocked out for that. Go figure! Glad she had some good medicine for childbirth!

This is certainly a coincidence.
My 23 year old daughter has an appointment Thursday for the same thing. Shes having 4 removed at once .
I keep trying to tell her they'll use rusty old pliers , but she won't believe me. :mrgreen:


I hope you'll give an update tomorrow on how day 2 of recovery is going.

I had all four out at once. One of them had to be broken up before it could be extracted. But it wasn't that bad. Yes, it hurt, but it wasn't as bad as the horror stories you hear. However, I did notice that it hurt worse the next day than it did the day it happened. So if you had your procedure done this morning, don't be surprised if you're 4 kinds of sore tomorrow.

Also, you may experience some visible bruising on the underside of your jaw and neck as the bleeding and swelling drains toward your body. Just be sure to follow directions to avoid getting a dry socket. That would be bad.

I just cant get over how HUNGRY I am.
Apple Sauce, Pudding, and Weight Watcher Drinks do not fill a man up.

Hopefully soon I can enjoy Mac and Cheese, or heck even some Enchiladas

Don't miss this opportunity!

Check for local gun shows and get out that list of pistols you've wanted for a while. Do it now!

Go to the gun show, buy at least one new gun, and explain to your wife that you knew something was wrong when you did it but without your wisdom teeth, you couldn't quite figure out what it was. :biggrinjester:

No, it didn't work for me but, I figure it just might work for you. Good luck!
