Question

Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

It all depends. I worked as an Oral Surgery Assistent for 20 years and each case is different. I was lucky and worked with some very fine doctors. That's the first step, find a qualified Oral Surgeon. Get several opinions as to what needs to be done and how much it will cost and how the surgery will be performed. Many Oral Surgeons offer the option of being "knocked out" during the procedure if the surgery seems to warrent it or if the patient is extremely anxious about the procedure. Some wisdom teeth, ussually the upper ones, just pop right out. Others require more extensive work. The same with the lowers, however it is much more common for the bottom wisdom teeth to be partially or completely boney impacted. When this is the case then getting local as well as general anesthesia is ussually the way to go especially for an anxious patient. Afterwards, if you follow the directions given to you and your driver/friend/family member if you get general anesthesia or what they call "twilight sleep" (a milder form of general anesthesia), you should do just fine. Make sure you have plenty of ice on hand and take all medication as prescribed by your surgeon. Occasionally a person gets what is called a "dry socket" or an infection. Both of these obstacles can be handled well by revisiting your Dr. and again following his or her directions exactly. Getting any surgery done is never a joyous occasion for which dancing and wine are appropriate. However, if you do the things I've told you then the experience will be far far better than what you are worried about in your head and you'll be done dealing with whatever problems you're currently dealing with due to your wisdom teeth. I hope I was helpful. Good Luck!

It's not the most pleasant experience I have ever had. Wisdom teeth have huge, long curving roots. It takes a lot to get those bad boys out. You will feel a great deal of pressure and hear some nasty tearing sounds during the extraction. If you are properly numbed, you should not have any pain. If you do have any pain, stop the dentist at once and tell him. He will give you more numbing medicine.

Expect to have pain, soreness and difficulty eating for a few days. Have soft foods and plenty of Advil on hand. Take a day or two off work or school, if you can. Pamper yourself and get lots of rest. Don't smoke or drink through a straw. Don't even try to eat anything spicy. (Trust me on this one!)

It isn't horrible, you will live over it. I've had two out, and lived to tell the tale.

Answer 4

No, the older you are the worse it is is what I heard. I had mine pulled at 25 and it didn't bother me. The doctor will put you to sleep and you will wake up with no wisdom teeth. He gives you a prescription for pain, (and go get that filled right away!), you go home and take it easy. It's not that bad. The worst part for me was having bruising and swelling for a couple of days even black eyes. I hated it because when I came back to work it looked like I had been beaten up but I didn't suffer that much pain. It's not that bad, really:)

Answer 5

Yes, It's very uncomfortable. I had all 4 removed. It really depends on your pain tolerance actually. My husband had his removed and he was fine without any pain. I on the other hand was in bed for a week drooling. Plus... because of smoking I developed something called a "dry socket" it's when you get a little infection in the area they pulled the wisdom tooth. On the plus side you get great pain killers. Also....If you've ever have bad headaches they recommend you getting them pulled.... becuase wisdome teeth are the cause of most headachs. Hope this helped! Good Luck!

Answer 6

Depends. They put you under gas usually, and you wake up really woozy and sore. But when I got my wisdom teeth removed, I didn't swell up in the cheeks like most people do. I went home, slept for 2 hours, and was pretty much okay. It takes about a week for the cuts to heal. It's kind of annoying when food gets stuck in the gum where your wisdom teeth were, but that doesn't last long.

Answer 7

I had all 4 of mine done at the same time & I can honestly say YES IT DOES!!!! They do put you to sleep, but when they did mine I kept waking up in between & I herd the drills it was totally scary. And the next day & for a about a week later I had bruises on both of my jaws & I wasn't able to eat solid foods for a while. I had a really crappy doctor though. If you haven't had yours done yet I'm sorry if I scared you at all. If its any consulation it doesn't hurt now.

Answer 8

I just had a bunch of teeth pulled by the oral surgeon on Wednesday. I was so afraid. They just lay you down on the chair and talk to you, me while I was freaking out. Look at the nurse while the person who puts you to sleep tells you everything he's doing. You will feel a few things a pinch. Then they put a mask of oxygen on you and you breath a few times. Next thing you know youre done.

Answer 9

I had a few teeth pulled and gums hurt after numbness wore off. I had 4 wisdom teeth cut out and never hurt any at all.

Answer 10

I had 4 pulled at the same time. Yes, honey. I shall not tell a lie. It did hurt once the pain and numbing drug started to go away. It hurt like a BIG MOFO, but the good news is that you get drugs which helps with the pain... Best of Luck to you!

Answer 11

no they usually knock you out with gas or enough painkiller that it doesn't hurt. i was given nitrous oxide, and after giggling my head off and playfully chewing on the dentists fingers, I was out like a light bulb and didn't wake up until it was time to go. Then I just had to keep changing bloody cotton inserts into my "sockets" (yeah, gross, I know) for a day or so. I guess for a few days it felt a little like I had been in a fight, but I don't remember it hurting too bad, just being numb on painkillers all the time.

hope that helps..
