I feel so high right now.
thought you'd like to know.

i was under for two hours and he originally was just gonna do the 2 bottom teeth because im only 16 but when i woke up he's like "we just got all four out, so you're good to go"

haha. i also got my fiberotomies (cut your gums so your teeth don't move after your braces are off).

Just wait until that novocain wears off. Sucks for you.

or when your cheeks puff up so that you look like a chipmunk...or your cheeks turn yellow/purple..


either way...the gas they give you, is some crazy shit

My dentist says I have enough room in my mouth to not have to have my wisdom teeth removed...fingers crossed on that one.

I had my four wisdom teeth removed when I was 18. I wish I could say it was easy, but it wasn't. The surgery was fine (they put me under) but the recovery was awful. I'll spare you the details unless someone wants to hear them.

Same here. And I got braces off a little over a year ago. Likewise, fingers crossed.

My dentist told me I needed to get mine out, and I was like, I like having my teeth inside of me

The next week i lost my front tooth...dentist karma is a bitch.

My wisdom teeth still don't bother me so I'm hoping I'm set...

Ward, I don't pray for much. But I'm gonna say a prayer you don't get dry sockets.


Same here. But my dentist said that they are showing signs of decay -- so I have to be really diligent about brushing waaay back there.

Be happy you got yours out, some people don't take my advice and put them off because they think i'm scamming them out of $1200. A couple of months later they come back in excrutiating pain demanding I remove them. If I could speak my mind I would call them ignorant, but since I can't do that I smile and say "Sure thing, anything to make you feel better because you're my patient and I want to do whats best".

Were you put on Nitrous Oxide? Are you bleeding a lot? I'm sure your dentist told you this, but don't drink anything for around 24 hours, or at least until tommorow because you'll dislodge the blood clot and get Dry Socket. You won't be able to chw properly for about a week, however after 3-4 days you should be able to chew some foods. i always have my personal favorite list of what to eat to keep patients happy. Here it is for your viewing and tasting pleasure.

Day 1:
Morning Breakfast:
- 2 cups of Apple Juice
- 1 bowl of oatmeal (avoid things with any chewy fruits like raisins or apples) best to buy plain and mix with golden sugar.
- Apple Sauce

Snack:
-Chicken noodle soup (or any soup for that matter, however I highly recommend you abstain from anything with large chuncks of meat or veggies)
NOTE: Cup of Soups are the best bcause they're very portable
-3 glasses of water

Lunch:
- Mashed Potatoes (As much as you want)
- Soup
- Juice/Water

Dinner:
- Mashed Potatoes
- Soup
- Juice/Water

After a few days, when you feel you can chew a bit, try eating some Kraft Dinner. I should also note you might not have as many bowel movements, because of the lack of food, so take some fiber powder should you choose.

If you need anything else please let me know!

wow man thanks a lot for the suggestions.

the thing is that im somewhat allergic to ibuprofen so i have to drink a large amount (about 18 ounces) of water every time i take a 600mg pill.

i've only had 2 since the surgery this morning at 9am (lasted until 11am), and I'm feeling pretty good, just icing my cheeks to slow the swelling.
i bled for about 7 hours on and off and now i haven't bled for about two hours so im thinking im pretty much done with gauze at this point.

i was on a lot of Nitrous Oxide and general anesthesia throughout the operation, but he never told me not to drink anything for 24 hours... he actually said i should take in a bit of fluid through tonight.

also, we paid just under two times what you charge

my sister didn't get her teeth out until she was 20, and im 16... she had about 6 months of big pain before she had hers done. So im pretty glad im getting it over with now.

right now i haven't eaten for 27 hours or so, and im not really feeling hungry... i might wait it out until morning to have some apple sauce or oatmeal like you said i should.

When I got all 4 done (aged 23) I was kick'n fine. Didn't need drugs or anything when the local anesthetic wore off.

all im taking is ibuprofen. im not too into pain killers and i dont even want to try the vicodin that they prescribed.
im taking 600mg every 5-6 hours and im feeling fine, just a little sore around my jaw

Who wants some hard candy?

I was a moron, and ignored my dentists advice to get them out early, instead I waited until they crowned then had them pulled. I must say I liked my way better, but there were some times I wished I was dead over the 2 years they took to crown. I should have taken out stock in Tridocane (topical numbing agent you put on your gums), since twice a year they would hurt like a bastard for a day or two.

In the end I only paid $180 to have them pulled, plus another $80 for the nitrous, since I'm a sissy around dentists.

The only thing that went wrong is I didn't take a day off, and went back to work the next day. I got really sick and ended up taking a week off of work.

hey i have a word of advice for anyone that is gonna get theirs out:

dont skip a dose of ibuprofen to sleep. it's a bad fucking idea. haha.
what a shitty morning :/

i ate about 4 bowls of oatmeal though, and a bowl of apple sauce. it's pretty tough going almost 40 hours without food.

That sucks, how much longer till you're a normal human being again?

should be some time tomorrow evening, im looking forward to eating something solid by monday or tuesday.

Be glad you have DS to keep you occupied

I only have 2 wisdom teeth

yeah man DS along with Digg, Facebook, Myspace, and DeviantArt, along with working on my personal portfolio site are keeping me busy.
of course when i nap i'm watching the Food Network.

So that explains why your posts have been retarded lately...

no i've been retarded since i registered.

I want to see some of your web design work, I'm (somewhat of) an aspiring web designer myself... new to it though. Linkage?

i'd rather finish it first.
this is my old shit which is empty and shitty. i hope you can do better:

Gah the Food Network seems girly but that channel is awesome. Especially Giada

ah yes giada. haha.
watching the food network right now is like watching porn with my balls chopped off.
i can't eat much and when i do it's just some oatmeal or applesauce. hahah.

Nice.

I like the artificial planet render. You are eons ahead in web design skill over me though. Like I said, I'm learning. Nice work, though, I'd like to see your new stuff when it's done.

alright, sure thing i'll post it again when im through with it.

wow, you guys had it tough. i was told a lot of horrible things about having my wisdom teeth removed but thankfully i didn't experience much of it. i had all 4 impacted teeth removed at once. they knocked me out and i took one vicodin when i got home and i dont think i needed it. then again, i'm weak sauce when it comes to stuff like that so maybe it masked any pain i may have been in for the next few days cus i didn't feel any. the bloody drool the first day or two wasn't cool but i didnt waste time eating mush and i healed pretty quickly. i was kinda sad the puffy cheeks didnt last longer.

Giada is pregnant! She's also on the Today Show for a while in case you'd like to catch more of her.
