This is exactly how it's supposed to be for me pretty much, hoping it really is though.

Ugh. Good luck. ;/

The younger you are, the less painful it is generally. As you grow older, nerves connect and grow to your gums and teeth; that's why a procedure can be painful for some. I got my wisdom teeth out at 18 or 19 (can't remember) with general anesthetics, and I didn't feel any pain when my teeth were removed. I was injected with some chemicals that made me drowsy - next thing you know, I see myself sitting in the waiting room without any recollection of my teeth being pulled.

You should do just fine Vanilla. IMO, the dull aching of the teeth afterwards was the most "pain" I got. Most annoying thing though is accidentally drooling blood all over yourself.

Okay cool, bmah. Well, I'm not feeling any pain at all right now, but my lips & tongue & chin are still completely numb. Two more questions I have for everyone.
1. How long did it take for the bleeding to stop?
2. How much medication did you guys use for how long?

I got a sore throat, and after 3 days the swelling wasn't bad and I didn't feel pain.

1) About a day and a half, however I had impacted molars too so I probably had a lot more bleeding.

2) All my antibiotics, all my anti-inflamitories, and I didn't need the pain killers at all but they were fun times.

1. Bleeding goes on for a few days (1-3 days pretty common). However, the dull ache can last for several weeks. Eventually, everything disappears.
2. I can't remember taking many, if any, medications at all. All I remember is letting my mouth heal with cotton or some other absorber for several days.

Got mine out when I was 16, almost exactly 2 years ago. I only had some dull pain in between doses of vicodin, which I only needed twice the day of the surgery. Swelled cheeks is pretty much all I had to endure for a while plus eating soft foods for a week or two. Oh yeah and I did it the weekend before school started =S

who_cares973 · 08-29-2009, 03:45 AM

i still have mine

uh oh

**championanwar** · 08-29-2009, 03:47 AM

Uh, good luck dude.

**DJ_Swabber** · 08-29-2009, 04:14 AM

I hope you recover fast and easily. =)
I am personally really scared of getting mine out... I don't like the idea of going under, and people ripping things out of my body. 2 of my wisdoms have broken through and are like halfway in. D: Srsly migraines and pain for a year when they showed up.

**Vanilla Mnm** · 08-29-2009, 07:32 AM

Okay, well as long as this thread is alive I suppose I'll keep you guys updated on where I'm at for people who haven't gotten there's out. The numbing is all gone, I slept last night pretty well even with the numbing gone. I don't really have pain, my cheeks and gums on the inside are extremely sore. I can barely shut my teeth right now. I can't quite tell if my bleeding has stopped, but I believe it has. So pretty much today is looking like an ice cream day yaaaaay. XD But yeah, I've got to go out later for 4hrs with my girlfriend, so, that should be enjoyable >.>..

who_cares973 - If they haven't bothered you by now, you might not even need them out.

DJ_Swabber - I definitely suggest looking into getting those out as soon as possible or it's just going to be worse. My wisdom teeth were barely even in & this is looking like a 3 - 7 day recovery or so. :/ But thank you on the 'I hope you recover fast and easily' <3

Also, one more thing, before I went into the surgery for my wisdom teeth I was in the waiting room reading this little piece of paper they gave me & it said if I bleed for more than 24hrs then contact them. It's normal to bleed for more than 24hrs? Oh & one more question. It said I can rinse my mouth out with warm, salted water after 24hrs. Does this still apply if I'm still bleeding after 24hrs?

P.S. You guys have helped me out A TON. Thank you<3

**TeknoRokr** · 08-29-2009, 07:34 AM

I totally missed this thread till today. I hope you recover soon Brooks <3! Have fun with Mallory XD.

**Vanilla Mnm** · 08-29-2009, 11:32 AM

Here's my swelling. I'll look for a picture of me not swelled up so you can see the comparison.

EDIT: Here's the best one I could find of myself not swelled up lol.

fishnook · 08-30-2009, 03:44 PM

i was gonna get mine pulled... but insurance didnt think it was important enough... freaking nazis

**richyrich55** · 08-30-2009, 04:44 PM

I have a question, local anesthetic (sp?) is the **** they use to freeze your mouth for cavities right? And the other stuff is 300 bucks to knock you out?

Sorry if I am not coherant, I'm fuccen stoned..

Alright, this is embarrassing to even show this, but I thought I was swelled up yesterday. Check me out today.
