FUCK, WISDOM TEETH.

Damn a root canal.....Jesus I'm sorry for your pain.

The Codeine buzz is a nice trade-off, though

Don't get addicted.

OH GOD I NEED A FIX NOW, MAN!

Eh, uh, I mean, uh, of course not

Reading that and then look at your avatar I can't help but laugh.

Just got four wisdom teeth pulled. They stuck me with novacaine and started the laughing gas, and now I'm rubbing my cheek with ice and... browsing TV Tropes.

Huh.

The upper-right side of my mouth hurts. After I accidentally swallowed a gauze, my mom got paranoid and thought she saw a gauze in the back of m mouth. Since I couldn't feel it, I dug a little and prodded one of the stitches - and boy was that a mistake. I didn't nudge it hard, but now that side hurts more than anything. I can only imagine every spot's going to feel like that soon enough, but I was warned it would happen on the 3rd day after they surgery.

Fuck my life All things considered, it wasn't that bad.

I had them pulled when I was 18. The right one was a double tooth that was infringing on my jawbone. This meant that I had almost no jawbone on the right side and had to get a bone graft too.

I didn't experience much pain, but I remember that for about a month afterward, amplified sounds tended to sound lower in pitch for me. Even the ding whenever they light up a right letter on Wheel of Fortune sounded weird. Also, I couldn't eat solid foods for a week, or hard foods like chips for about a month afterward. They gave me painkillers just in case, but I didn't need it.

I'm apparently one of those people whose wisdom teeth came in in such a way that they required no removal or alteration, so...

Had mine pulled in July. I guess I was lucky because I wasn't clumsy or loopy post-removal and I didn't have much pain save for the occasional bit associated with opening my mouth too wide.

Given that the back of my mouth hasn't given me any grief I'm assuming that if they are there they're the only teeth in my mouth to come in straight.

I had mine removed in early August, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Granted I was knocked out, but after that, I wasn't in too much pain. My gum holes still haven't filled up, though.

Mine are just now rearing their ugly head. Couple that with a mouthful of stress blisters...

I'm mostly healed now, though food occasionally gets stuck in the space where my teeth used to be. I hope those close up soon, come on gums, you can do it!

When I was getting ready to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth out, I was expecting to be in sooooooo much pain for awhile, but it wasnt really painful at all. The day after getting them out is when I stopped taking the pain medication.

Plus, I kept 2 of the bloodiest teeth to freak out my sister later on in life :3

I had to have a couple of them removed. Apparently they were really impacted, so much that I needed to be anaesthetized (though I’m such a pain wimp I probably would have demanded total sensory deprivation and back-up drugs anyway). They apparently had to get the saw out and chop the one off, as some of the roots had fused to the jawbone, which means there’s tooth fragments still in there. I still have a flare-up from time to time, which sucks.

As I was under sedation, I had to have my dad (R.I.P.) drive me home. I was so out of it that I was half-way through a bowl of chocolate ice cream before I realized that I still had bloody wads of cotton in my mouth!

And I had nasty reactions to the pain medication my dental surgeon prescribed. It gave me such bad dizziness that it felt like I had the flu. I immediately stopped throwing up the second I stopped taking the pills. The pain was not so bad that I needed them, anyway.

I have one growng in the upper right jaw. it hasn't caused me any problems so far. No signs of the other three, though.
