Wisdom teeth aren't too bad. If they give you an opiate of some sort try to get off that as soon as you can, they can have some unpleasant side effects. Plus I found all they did was make me tired, simple Ibuprofen did a better job of taking away the pain. Not to derail the thread, because I really do feel bad for Aqualung, but wow. It's so weird that you mention that. I just had an abscess that was horrendously painful, and all the drugs they gave me did was make me tired. What finally worked? Massive doses of the shit in Alleve.

Which in a way makes sense, who wants to be awake and in lots of pain.

I actually have nearly perfect teeth, no wisdom teeth and haven't had a cavity in some... 27 years? Just doing my part to spread misery. Sorry to hear that doll, hope things get better for you.

Thanks everyone. *hugs* I'll get through it somehow. I still have a (mostly) full bottle of spiced rum in the fridge; I'll probably make up a bunch of jello shots once I get the wisdom teeth out. ;D That won't be till later on this year some time. My bottom ones are basically coming in sideways, so they have to come out before they start pushing into the others. Problem is, my teeth never really hurt, so I didn't figure there was anything wrong. I suppose what I think of is a toothache is probably an abscessed tooth or something. :/

Pros and cons I actually ended up with a filling in one of my wisdom teeth (shows that I really do have a big mouth) A year on penicillin as a kid though (which erodes the enamel) followed by many years of smoking have left me looking like an extra in a cheap horror flick. I do, however, hope that you are able to get things sorted with minimal fuss and *ouch* pain.

They got me stoned on valium and just did it in the chair. I was so stoned I got in a fight with a 5-year-old in the waiting room over a toy.

I'm so glad my mouth is huge. Only downside is, now I've got a hole in one of my wisdom teeth. I dread the dentist because I don't get completely numb. Or even close. The smell of burning tooth is bad enough, but when you can feel them drilling.... Makes me thank Barbara Keith I didn't have to have them removed. I'd probably kill the dentist in self defense.

OK, now I AM upset. I went back today, supposedly to have the root canal finished. So he gets to work, he's all shoving those little needle things down in there, and finally I get annoyed and said I wish you'd explain what you're doing more. (I keep my eyes shut mostly but I would like to know what's going on :/) So he's like OK, and by the way your roots are too small, we can't get down in there to kill the nerves, so you need to go to a specialist. WHAT. You couldn't have figured that out the FIRST time you went drilling my tooth?! Here I thought the worst of it was over, and they HAVEN'T EVEN KILLED THE FUCKING NERVES YET. THAT WAS A GAWDDAMNED MONTH AGO. WHAT!!! Fucking hell, i just want this shit DONE already. This is the THIRD time I've been screwed out of having it fixed now!! *rage* Excuse me while I go shit bricks....Stupid dentists.
