Has anyone here got there wisdom teeth pulled out?

[Cocaine80s]

And if you have, did you choose local or general anesthesia?
local=awake
general=they put you to sleep



whats ur guys experience with this?

[KyleKong]

I have.

Went to sleep, woke up, remembered maybe the first 10 minutes of waking up, then remember waking up again at my Dad's house.

Apparently I was out of my ****ing mind on the car ride home. :oldlol:

Sucks because for like a week and half your mouth hurts and you can't do anything fun.

Also makes your cheeks look like a squirrel.

so you dont feel any pain at all during the surgery? like is it possible to wake up in the middle of it?


i can deal with the pain after the surgery, but the actual removal process scares the crap out of me.

[Cocaine80s]

local.

They numbed it.

They didn't numb it enough when my last tooth was being pulled. Hurt like a bitch. Cheap company only gave me two gauze, but I made sure I utilized both without having to buy a gauze pack. :pimp:
yup i think im gonna go with general lol.

That's a common superstition to be honest. No one really wakes up, and no you don't feel anything.

One of my friends did the 'local' or whatever your calling it and was awake when they removed his teeth but he didn't feel anything. He said he just heard a bunch of cracking sounds and his mouth getting bloody, but felt nothing.

That'd be kinda weird to me IMO.

And I hate surgeries too man, they are scary. I've had 5 surgeries in my life, never fun thing to do.

[ihoopallday]

Got mine pulled out during basic training. I was so excited to be on a profile (pretty much excused from any physical stuff) that I didn't care about the pain. Other than the annoyance of not being able to eat comfortably, it's not that bad. But hey, everyone has a different pain tolerance.

[CJ Mustard]

General Anesthesia.

Woke up in the car ride home. No pain whatsoever after the surgery for me, just a little soreness for about a week or so.

[ihoopallday]

Yep, same here. Being able to chill in the barracks for a few days while everyone else was out humping, and sell off whatever vicodin you don't need was nice.

:roll: :roll: definitely. Pretty much sleep all you want. But I missed two days of field training exercises , which should've held me back from graduation. My Drill Sgt was and Captain were cool though and still passed me.

[shaq2000]

Local. Didn't feel a thing.

This. Didn't really feel any pain in the weeks after either. Just discomfort and annoyance.

[RoseCity07]

All 4 pulled at once. They gave me some laughing gas. Didn't really help, felt pressure when teeth being pulled. The real pain is when you get home and you have to stop the bleeding. The teeth being pulled is the easy part. My mouth was sore for a while after and that was the only thing that sucked.

[Dictator]

I never got why people got their wisdom teeth pulled? I kept mine.

[Myth]

I had all 4 of mine removed at once. They were all impacted, so they put me under. Apparently when they had me count down from 10 while starting the gas, I said, "10, 9, 8, muh, nnnnmmmuh, basketball..." made a dribbling motion with my hand and then was out. My face swelled quite a bit afterwards, I had a diet of mostly KFC mashed potatoes/gravy and chocolate pudding. I couldn't open my mouth enough to brush, and I went to see the 3rd Austin Powers movie with my brother. My brother said he felt bad for the people in front of us because I laughed so hard and my stanky breath must have drove them nuts.

[Done_And_Done]

Much like Myth, I had all 4 yanked out in one shot. They were also impacted as well so they put me to sleep which I would say is a recommended option regardless.

I remember waking up, high outta my mind, feeling giddier than an 8 year old girl at Bieber show. My old man stopped at the pharmacy near my house to pick up my painkiller script. I recall walking around aimlessly through the store, just laughing at everything.

In the coming days, my face swelled up like a chipmonk but it was only about 2 days following the procedure when I started eating normal foods. I healed super quick...

[brantonli]

I only had the bottom 2 pulled out, the top 2 were pointing downward and were perfectly fine. Did the local, and the dentist was great, because he would stop and ask me if I was in any slightest of pain, and inject more anaesthetic if I said yes, I'm sure he must've shot my jaw with like 5-6 doses of the thing. Weirdest thing is when you can 'feel' him cutting through the gum, and sawing the tooth in half and yanking it out, but with absolutely no pain whatsoever. I had to do the local cause I was on my own, the dentist wouldn't have been paid otherwise :lol

[East_Stone_Ya]

I had all 4 pulled at the same time. They put me under, and I almost threw up right after I went under. When I woke up I felt like complete shit, and didnt remeber the car ride home or getting into my bed. The bleeding sucks, and I ruined my madlib shirt cause I got so much drool and blood on it :( Plus a few days later I went to the improv and saw bill burr. They ended up putting us in the very front row, and I thought I was going to get heckled cause my fat ass cheeks, but luckily he didnt.

Oh, and use salt water to clean your mouth and get rid of the bad breath. Just put some salt in a cup of warm water, swirl it around your mouth and spit it out. Cleans your mouth and actually makes it feel better.

but it hurts like hell when the wound doesn't recover like it should. Makes drinking salt water pretty hard

[Jailblazers7]

General. Anesthesia is awesome, pretty much the most relaxed you will ever feel in your life when they are putting you to sleep.

The inside of your mouth will feel very strange for a week or so but swelling is different for everyone. I didn't swell much at all.

[ballup]

I had mine localized. Had to get 2 sessions because the dentist thought I was getting too much novacaine. If you are lucky, your wisdom teeth won't be sideways. If they are, the dentist has to take 4 times the minutes to cut your tooth out.

It was painful when the drugs wore off but I got another injection, soothing the feels. It ain't too bad. The worst part is getting the food debris out of your wounds that takes weeks to seal

[Rake2204]

I cannot recall if I had general or local anesthesia (which makes me think it was general) but everything went pretty smoothly one way or another. My only advice would be to take post-op instructions seriously. I'm sure one could skirt on the details and be okay, but I always preferred not to take those chances. When it comes to avoiding dry socket, I followed instructions to a T.

[Le Shaqtus]

I had local because one of mine got busted open, the actual shot hurt like a bitch as opposed to the actual pulling of the tooth, it was the top right one.

It's not that bad, the recovery is the worst part.

[magic chiongson]

local. horizontal impacted (2 of them). they cut it to pieces and the whole thing took almost 2 hours. they had to apply the anaesthesia again at least 2 more times when it started to hurt

[DukeDelonte13]

I never got why people got their wisdom teeth pulled? I kept mine.


dentists need to make money.



I got mine pulled when i was like 21, my wife never got hers out.



but to OP, i was like quasi awake but in a stupor, the whole procedure felt like it took 10 minutes and i had to be wheeled to the car in a wheelchair.

I was on vicodin for a week, I smoked and drank as usual, and everything turned out fine. Only day that sucked was the day of surgery. Had to keep some cotton wad in my mouth for a while.

[Crown&Coke]

got two of em out, got shot up and was awake the whole time.

not really pain but discomfort. The second tooth was a bitch to get out, after like 45 mins dude just pulled out a freakin ice pick and hammer and went to town, broke it up into like 3-4 pcs. It didn't hurt but scared the crap out of me

Afterwards it sucked, can only eat like noodles for a few days

[tmacattack33]

No, but i've had a root canal and I remember that it sounded pretty scary beforehand and some people were telling me about how bad it is.

But then I got there, and they numbed me up, and the rest wasn't bad.

I left there mad as shit at all the people who had me scared about it. I was thinking about them more than the actual root canal that I just had :oldlol:

[Dresta]

Would never let a dentist put me under. Dentists are notorious for killing people with general anaesthetic.

Yeah, for like a whopping $2 each. I'd rather just take em and enjoy the opiate buzz :confusedshrug:

Anyway I got general anesthesia, got KTFO. And like was said earlier, right before they administer the general is the absolute most relaxed you'll ever feel.

The dentist didn't administer me ****, they brought in an anesthesiologist :confusedshrug:

:lol We were talking about when you're at basic training. Not being able to drink, smoke, etc. for like 9 weeks sucks! That pain reliever can do wonders.

:lol


I'm a general practitioner. I leave that stuff to the oral surgeons.

[BigBoss]

I got them removed in April. I was awake. They numb it, you wont feel a thing. The only trippy part is the sound of a drill and tugging that you can hear, but once again cannot feel. Stay on top of the pain meds and follow all direction and you wont feel anything.

It was a really annoying process. The week before i got them removed one got infected and that was easily the worst pain ive ever felt. Consistent throbbing pain with swelling that spread to my neck for 48 hours until i took an antibiotic. Surgery a week later. Get them out to avoid this!
