Wisdom Teeth Poll

I forgot, if you have them cut out, you're not supposed to eat for like 12 hours or something before the surgery. So it ended up being something like 18 hours since I ate. So when I got home, I had a 9" Ham and Cheese sandwhich, some breadsticks, couplethree slices of pizza, couple chicken legs, and 2 Cokes. I was still hungry too.

I had mine pulled. By far the easiest surgery I have ever had. It took literally 20 minutes and you wake up all drugged and in no pain at all. Should avoid solid foods afterwards and it bleeds a lot but it's no problem.

I've had eight teeth pulled in addition to four wisdom teeth, twelve total. Five trips total for teeth pullings over the years. First three times was done with just shots in the mouth and I was awake for all of it. Gets very painful so I finally opted to just getting put to sleep for it.
The first time I got put to sleep for non wisdom teeth it wasn't that bad. I remember just having to rest for awhile because I was still pretty drugged up.
The second time for my wisdom teeth was worse. I was out of school for the day and was loaded on viacodin for the next four days.

is a Root Canal painful? I dont mind anesthesia, even though its harsh, IT WILL Get 'R' Done!
(it is the strongest Depressant known to man, you can easily die from Anesthesia O.D.)

Only my top ones grew in. No bottom ones. Since I have a big mouth, there was no need to take them out. :D

My sister just had hers done. She did not have a lot of pain, but it got infected. I don't think she followed the correct procedures for caring for the stitches.

Ok I'm back from the operation. It went well. I hate needles but it wasnt TOO bad. They had me breathing in funny gas before they hooked up the IV.

Then they told me to open my mouth, and then the next thing I remember is the doctor and assistants chatting about personal stuff...About 45 minutes had past and I didnt remember a thing! It was over. They helped me up and I had my Mom drive me to my place. They gave me a bunch of gauze to help absorb the bleeding, and they gave me some Hydrocodone to take home for pain. All and all not bad but my mouth and lips are SO numb and puffy right now its not even funny
