Default Wisdom Teeth

I went to the dentist today for the first time in about 3 or 4 years.

My teeth were in ok condition, but my wisdom teeth have been hurting my mouth really bad and making my jaw hurt alot. I guess the bottom ones came in kindof sideways so they're pushing on the molars by them and making it hurt. Plus, I have a cavity in the area by where one wisdom tooth is touching, since I couldn't brush as good with it there.

Sooo, tomorrow at 8:00AM I'm going in to get all four (4!) wisdom teeth pulled. Novacaine doesn't really work all that well on me, so I hate to think of how much pain I'm gonna be in by the end of that hour and ten minutes.

Bring on the paaaain!

The good news is, that once after this you are done. I have had 3 wisdom teeth removed now. One at a time. Not too great either.

Good luck though, and hopefully the pain won't be bad Random.

It wasn't too bad, only took about half an hour.

I could feel alot of it on the right side, though.
It wasn't too much pain for me to handle, but my whole body was shaking from the pain.

Also, I almost fell over when I got up, cus I was dizzy.

i only got 2 wisdom teeth (lucky me). one on top and one at the bottom. my bottom one was completely sideways and i'll never forget the pain that was to have that one removed. i coulnd't move my jaw for 10 days the pain was so bad. but the top one didn't hurt at all. got them both out at the same time too.

what good are wisdom teeth if you have to have them pulled out anyways? whay do we even have them? that's like the gullbladder. they don't know why we have that and that gets removed all the time. weird.

The gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK).

Or tonsils perhaps?

Random, at least you will be rid of all 4 of them at once. I would have to go four times to the dentist / hospital to get that accomplished.

I still have my wisdom teeth as I apparently have a really big mouth with lots of room. The problem is that I don't feel any smarter. :?

About seven hours since the procedure got done.
The anesthetic is completelly worn off, my mouth and jaw are aching, and my head is pounding almost as much as when I've had cuncussions.

I woke up this morning and it feels like someone is pushing a needle into my eardrum and my jaw is broken.
My mom thinks I have a dry socket.

So much for flying tuesday.
