Wisdom Teeth

i had all four of my wisdom teeth removed about fifteen hours ago. they put me on vicoden pills and i feel pretty good. ice packs are my new best friend at the moment. unfortunately i have a bad craving for pizza and steak now. the whole experience hasnt been nearly as bad as i had anticipated. i have some slight discomfort and the bleeding is a little annoying, but other than that i really cant complain... supposidly it will hurt more when i wake up in the morning so we'll see.

anyone else have an interesting story about getting their wisdom teeth taken out? also id be happy to answer anything for anyone who may be getting them removed in the near future.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I had my wisdom teeth took out about 3 years ago. Not a funny story, (or even an interesting one....) but when I awoke from anesthesia I began to BAUL. I was not in any pain or anything, in fact, I wasn't even sad. The Dentist explained to the person who took me there that patients do sometimes tend to wake and feel as if they have lost control. (by being put asleep), therefore that was why I was crying. Honestly, I have no idea what made me cry.

Have a relaxing fun healing experience with the Vicodan. Make SURE to take them on a full stomach or it will be HELL.

Also do not to suck out of a straw or pull any chunks out of your holes. I ended up getting dry socket...and it is worse than a tooth ache.

Beware the chipmunks.

thanks Evilia, i think the good vibes are helpin cuz im feeling really good now. i only had to take ibuprofen today but i just took some vicodan to help get to sleep (still hurts and feels frikkin weird!).

leftwood - i made sure to keep my cheecks covered in ice packs the first 24 hours... so i avoided the whole chipmunk face for the most part

soup, jello and mushy foods for a couple more days and i should be good to go
