Today I went into surgery to remove my wisdom teeth, and an impacted tooth that was causing my jaw to rot, or something horrible like that.

Anyway, I have four stiches where my wisdom teether are, and one huge one where they ripped out my tooth, cut my gums open, sawed some of my jaw out and replaced it with plastic.

I can't talk, I've spit up about a cup of blood, and I'm on vicodin so I can hardly walk.

GSL Finals here I come! gogogo.

Good excuse to play lots of Pokemon!

Seriously.

Also in response to the other questions, the swelling should go down after about a week. They gave me some Hardcore drugs so it's gonna be fun time until then.

Keep in mind they removed about a quarter sized chunk of my jaw, replaced it with plastic, and cut my gums completely off, andf then sewed them back together.

That really sucks.

I am going to get my wisdom teeth checked monday.
They are already coming in (which is apparently bad?) but I hope it makes for an easier surgery.

Last surgery I was put to sleep something didn't quite go to plan and I have been having troubles hearing ever since. I don't understand the correlation between anaesthesia and hearing loss, but it doesn't affect my ability to play Starcraft so I'm good.
I want to fuck Soulkey with a Zelderan.

Ouch >.<

I remember when I got my lower wisdom teeth removed. I was in China and my aunt is a dentist, so we were saving a bunch of money. Anyways, I was wide awake, and got a tiny shot that made my mouth partially numb, then she pulled it out and gave it to me. I was given no pain meds afterwards because they're "bad for your brain". Oh god it was a painful night.

I have wisdom teeth growing right now, going for a dental checkup on the 26th. I get a little jittery with anything that relates to dentists so I wish they are growing right >_<. The thought of cutting gums makes me cringe. How does it feel during the surgery?

Was it really that bad for all you guys? I got 4 wisdom teeth and 2 other teeth pulled (wisdom teeth cuz no room, 2 other teeth so other teeth can have room to be moved via braces/aligners), and the process was painless. I bled and drooled a ton for the rest of the day after the surgery (needed stitches on 2), but no swelling, no pain, no soreness. I could eat normally after like 3 days. No biggie for me.

I didn't just have my wisdom teeth pulled. I had to do gauze pads and tea bags. But the majority of the pain comes from where they cut a 4 inch line across my gums and pulled my jaw out.

Unrelated to the wisdom teeth, it hurts much worse than the other areas. I have to take Vicodin now.

Was it a dentist that did the extractions or an oral surgeon? Do dentists usually do wisdom teeth extractions or do they refer to oral surgeons? Maybe the dentists do the easier wisdom teeth extractions, and if the case is more complicated they refer to an oral surgeon... hmm..

The dentists in my area always refer to an orthodontist for tooth extractions; they don't do it themselves.

I had the top oral surgeon in San Diego county do it. If it was jsut my wisdom teeth I wouldn't care, but no-one is cutting my fucking jaw out without a good rep.

Orthodontists don't do extractions, they put braces on and change the wire. They have the easier job. Oral surgeons usually do heavy extractions.
