I went to the er on the 24th and they gave me vicoden and motrin so it is like day 6 and i still have pain the vicoden bearly works and now i'm thinking that even if i go to the dentist tommarow they won't pull them because i've downed a bottle and half of motrin 50count in about 4days and they are known blood thinners...So does anyone know if the dentist will still pull your teeth if you've been on these drugs for pain?I'm going tomarrow and i pray they pull them or i will die!

You are likely suffering from Pericoronitis, an infection around the wisdom tooth. They should have given you antibiotics in addition to the pain killers.
If a lot of infection is present, I would not extract your teeth but would put you on antibiotics for 7 days. Infection neutralizes anaesthetic and if you have to inject or cut into infected tissue, there is a risk of spreading infection deeper.
By the way, Vicodin is a powerful painkiller, and the maximum daily dosage of ibuprofen is 2400mgs. Using as much painkiller as you have indicates a serious problem.
