It numbs you and your tongue for a while but once they are removing it, the amount of pressure feels as if no anesthetic were issued. Horrible pain tugging on the tooth. HORRIBLE. So if you have a choice go for general. Being awake and seeing all sorts of tools enter your mouth isnt worth it. I was shaking from nervousness. You will bleed a while and make sure to ice yourself after the surgery. Honestly whether or not you need GA depends on how impacted they are to begin with. I got all 4 of mine pulled earlier this year and just got some local anesthetic injection (none of them were majorly impacted but the gums were starting to get inflamed), and all I could feel was a bit of pressure as he tugged at my teeth. The painful part was hours later after I got home and the anesthetic wore off, which is when the excruciating pain kicked in (for some reason I didn't get any special painkillers so I was stuck using OTC ibuprofen). Another tip is to stick a tea bag on either side where the teeth were removed since it helps to clot the blood. It tastes pretty awful but you'll be glad when the blood stops gushing. Also don't drink anything with a straw for a few days since that suction can fuck with the blood clots. | ||

I had my wisdom teeth removed this year as well. It sucked, but I survived. One time I asked for extra numbing injections and I came to the conclusion that it doesn't really help. As for eating, I only ate soft foods, ice creams and yogurt. If you have a blender, I suggest you use it for everything you eat, even soups. In my experience it really does help. I even used it to make meat into smaller pieces (couldn't survive without meat  )Try to drink less water during the first few days, I found out that it causes my mouth to bleed less. And don't forget your pain pills. Kids, don't be afraid to go to the dentist. The earlier your problems get detected, the better. I admit, I was afraid of visiting a dentist, and now I regret it. There will definitely be less problems that way (you don't want to be a 20-something wearing braces, now do you?) | ||

Actually i got one wisdom tooth removed and it wasnt a problem at all. I got a local injection and then they broke the tooth out of my jaw. took maybe 5-10 minutes and didnt hurt at all. I didnt even need painkillers after the removal and the swelling maybe lasted 2 days at most. So for me it wasnt a bad experience. | ||

They didn't excessively shift my teeth, but I fear they narrowed something down in my ear channels I think, that's still to see how it turns out though. Woo, not the only one! I'm keeping mine as well, even got a cavity that the tooth apparently was made with filled in. After reading the stories in this blog I'm happy with this decision. | ||

I just got a local anesthetic injection and it wasn't funny at all :-( they had to inject me in total 13 times because they stopped working. Furthermore, there were some complications with my bottom-right teeth, which took the dentist alone 1,5hours to solve. The first two days I could barely eat, now it is a little Bit better, but I am still taking painkillers. hehe mine went very well. I was actually very lucky I feel. I got all 3 pulled (I only had 3). I was put to sleep and I only had to take 2 pain killers that day and never had to after that. I could barely eat cause it hurt to open my mouth to wide, but I felt almost normal the 2nd day (I had very little swelling) and that was nice. I couldn't eat solid food till the 3rd day iirc, but for me everything went nice and smooth thank god. I feel for you I was worried something bad would happen to me to cause complications or something xD. | ||

Any in my opinion it didnt get any better the last few days. Sucks so much, because I have holidays now, but cant do much. Friday, i have another appointment with the dentist, removing the fibers. I Hope that After that the pain will stop. How Long did it hurt for you? For me it only hurt 1 day. Damn sounds like you got it bad that blows T_T. | ||

But during the removal there was a time when the numbness somehow went away and i started feeling stuff, but luckily it was only local paralyzation, so i was able to point the doc towards his mistake and he injected more stuff. It felt a bit strange, but nothing horrifying. Especially since you know what they are doing and that they did it thousands of times. | ||

Luckily, I never had any relevant amount of pain. I didn't touch the codeine and didn't even use any over the counter painkillers. I suppose the procedure went pretty smoothly. 2 of the wisdom teeth were impacted. I remember however that for a few days, I had the "holes" at the back of my jaw and food would often lodge in them on one side. Those ended up closing up and now it's perfectly smooth back there. I recall that when I was walking out though, my mouth was so numb I couldn't talk, and I could taste the blood. I had to talk (sort of) to the receptionist about paying for the procedure when a lady walked in with her kid. Hopefully I didn't have any bloody drool when the kid looked at my face but man was that timing terrible. I don't think he saw anything. Hopefully not, for his parent's sake... A little while later I was home, looked down for some reason and created a significant puddle of bloody drool on the ground. It was kind of amusing, although unsanitary | ||
