the countdown is about 24 hours until i have my wisdom teeth removed and i'm more than a little freaked out because
a) i've never had oral surgery.
b) i haven't been put under in about 10 years
c) i'm just a general chicken shit when it comes to medical procedures.
has anyone here had their wisdom teeth removed once they were older than 20 or so? i'm seeking some recommendations/tips/scare the shit out of me stories...
oh and, when i'm not doped up, expect lots of posts/tweets/myspace action.

I've had like six oral surgeries between the age of 12 and 20...the first one is always fightening, but after that it's not that bad, at least compared to other surgeries. Being put under will make it ALOT easier as you don't have to deal with massive novicane needles being jabbed into the roof of your mouth (like my first few surgeries). Also, since it's in your mouth, whatever is done tends to heal super quickly (like within a few days).
The last one I had at age 20 (I'm 26 now) was the infamous wisdom teeth removal. You're going to be doped up, sore and groggy for like two to three days, but most people recover pretty quickly after that.
From what I remember, Codine, salt water, ice cream and chicken noodle soup are going to be your best friends for the next few days.

well, with the club also offering dog boarding suggestions and bicycle suggestions why not?
and, since i'm having the surgery tomorrow, i obviously have a surgeon already.
please be surly elsewhere.

two words.....dry socket :eek:
it'll most likely hurt like hell and you'll feel like complete shit for at least 2-3 days - if you're lucky, that'll be it, if not the healing process can drag out for weeks
I had my wisdom teeth out at 24
-
I had all of mine cut out at once at 15 and have had craploads of other stuff (root canals, etc).
It's no big deal. Plus, they're knocking you out so you won't remember.
Just make sure you have a nice stock of milkshakes in the freezer to eat with a spoon, not a straw.

All four (impacted) wisdom teeth out at age 21. I played golf, drank beer, and ate tacos the next day. I don't advise doing that, but I did shoot my best round of golf (at the time) that day :) God bless vicodin.
-
I had mine done (all four) at 22 maybe. I thought it was a breeze, but I think I was just lucky. I was fine the very next day, with no real pain or swelling. The only bummer for me was the whole food-caught-in-stitches thing; apparently, my surgeon didn't deem it necessary to give me that little water pick thing until AFTER I complained. Still, it was worth it, especially with saving the vicodin for recreational purposes.

as best i can tell, it's all a crapshoot. i'm hoping for the best (obviously). i'm hoping to be well enough for half-price wine night on monday.

I had oral surgery just last week to have a molar taken out that was cracked. He had to cut my gum away to be able to pull it. I had the needle in the mouth method because I went back to work after the surgery. It's not all that really bad at all so don't get too worried about it, it's more the thought than the actual procedure. The plus of course is the prescription pain killers after the fact!!!!! That's the second time I had that procedure, one time back in Bethesda I was having a tooth pulled and the dentist was in the middle of it then realized he couldn't do it so called an oral surgeon while I was in his chair, then I had to drive myself over to the surgeon with blood ouzing out of my mouth. That was fun, I was just relieved I wasn't pulled over on the way with a bloody mouth and slurring my speech due to novocaine.
-
I've had all 4 wisdom teeth removed, one was impacted and done in one procedure with just a local injection and did the other 3 a few years later. Since the local seemed to do the trick for the first one I opted for just a local to remove the other 3 as well and I'm glad I did, it only took a couple minutes to pull the first two and another 10 or so to deal with the impacted one, lied down for about 10-15 minutes, hit the ATM to pay the dentist and I was on my way. Since I was in the middle of a move, I didn't even have the prescriptions filled that they gave me, just took ibuprofen. I know some people react differently but I honestly think the reason some people get sick is from being put under.

I bet I've had more dental work done than all of ya!

i had a wisdom tooth out earlier this year. (i'm 31). it really wasnt bad at all

Sorry. Nothing to be proud of. Though now I'm a changed man.
But if anyone who has a combination of the right insurance, a big pile of spare change lying around, and major dental problems ever needs a dentist recommendation, I've got a good one I can recommend.

Actually, my brother was in a similar boat as a kid. He had several root canals and even an abscessed tooth that made his face swell up like the movie MASK before he was in the 7th grade. Poor kid...he was just born with bad teeth.

That actually segues nicely into something I said to my wife this morning:
If I had kids with super powers, I would want to kill myself. Not only would it suck that they had powers and I didn't, but I'd hate not having the upper hand as a parent. Can you imagine trying to discipline a kid with super strength? Or trying to catch your kid if he had super speed?
Yes, those are honestly the kinds of conversations I have with my wife. And yes, she's just as bored listening to it as you most likely are in reading it.

No way. If I can't have special powers, I certainly don't want my kids to have them. I've spent 29 long years fantasizing about being a superhero, and selfishness be damned, that's one area that I don't want my kids succeeding where I failed.
Now, if the super kids could build me a suit of armor like Iron Man...

wisdom teeth surgery shouldn't be too bad. In most cases I saw, you should be ok for a wine tasting Monday...although mixing alcohol with open wounds might not be the best idea...

all mine fit just fine (all 4 in by the time i was 16 or so), but was supposed to have them removed during a jaw surgery (to save me later issues with keeping them cavity free), but doc forgot to pull them. . .so, had them pulled later, simple tooth pulls, no big deal. the bigger deal was due to the surgery, a root fractured on one my teeth, so that had to be pulled, and a implant put in.

so i was always afraid of the dentist since my early days of having those hideous flouride treatments where you had to hold those wax molds in your mouth
i've always been stringent about mouth-hygiene-n-all, but i avoided the dentist during my rambling post-collegiate years. then, at the advanced age of 32, i was convinced by my wife that our new dentist was a swell guy and I should begin regular appointments once again. Well, as it turns out, he was. A swell guy. However, during his first look inside my mouth, he quickly became aghast: I had the full hot order â?? four impacted wisdom teeth.
"these don't give you any problems?" he asked, genuinely perplexed.
"no, sir." I answered
"these need to come out immediately" he said, with a look of concern that actually made me a little concerned.
"well, I'm busy for the next few years, but perhaps..."
"this week" my nice new dentist said sternly.
"gee, um, okay, doc, if you really think I need to."
I made an appointment at an oral surgeon whom my nice new dentist --- who i now hated with a passion --- highly recommended. I got a ride to said appointment, since i was advised i would be in no condition to drive myself home afterward. I arrived wearing my favorite cold-weather beater: my burnt orange down jacket . Unfortunately, the zipper got stuck and, in a waiting room full of people, i was forced to wriggle out of it, kind of like a snake shedding his skin. Things wasn't starting well.
My name was called, I got into the chair, they checked my teeth and got the sleepy-time drugs ready. The oral surgeon came in, looked at me with a unnerving leer and pronounced "now just relax, this is gonna be just like the Sixties" as his assistant cackled.
the next thing i remember is being at home on the floor next to my couch. my shirt was blood stained. A feeling of nausea was foremost in my mind. My mouth seemed very very dry, but I wasn't thirsty. My mouth, in fact, seemed seperate from the rest of body. I had a feeling it was actually sitting on the floor next to me. I called to my wife for assistance several times, but none came. I passed the remainder of the night trying to get back onto the couch, but failing.
the following day, my cheeks were the size of grapefruits. i finally got vertical and went into the bathroom, where I stared at my horrifying visage in the glass and found two prescription bottles. One containing tylenol 3, one containing demerol. I phoned my wife, but she wouldn't take my call. I took several pills because my mouth Hurt.
Later, the phone rang. It was'nt my wife, but the doctor's office, phoning to see how I was getting on. I told them i didn't feel particularly well. Unwell, in fact. they advised me to rinse my mouth with warm saltwater and take the pills. they also explained that i had woken up during the surgery, not once, but twice and had to be given additional doses of sedative not once, but twice.
finally, my wife returned and began to speak to me in an annoyed tone. she explained that i had made quite a scene during our exit from the oral surgeon's office. I wouldn't leave without my down jacket -- i was quite adamant about it, apparently, to the point of turning over a table which held a large quantity of magazines --- yelling that I couldn't remember where i had my jacket and why won't any of the vile people in this office help me find it? My desperate need to find my jacket apparently prolonged our exit for a considerable length of time. My wife explained that she had been "extremely embarrassed" and that I should be, too.
"I don't remember any of it" I explained.
"I wishI didn't" was her only answer.
after several days, I began to feel better. But I came around to her point of view. It's a view I share to this day. I hope your experience is better than mine.

I always wanted to name my kid "Super" growing up. Alas, as I've turned 40, I've backed down on that desire. Just in time.

i had the most incredible dream that i was in the movie aliens, not alien, but the one that was good enough to counter the original, while i was having mine removed. not sure if there was some sort of metaphorical insights in it, but i still remember enjoying the drug induced, inner travel. also i liked it when i told the doctor all about the dream after coming to in his office, and him just staring at me like the epitome of a freak. enjoy your trip!

Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch! But you mustn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it, you mustn't fear! 'Cause his name can be said by anyone!

have you given any thought to the fact that you will be _extremely_ old by the time your kid graduates from high school?
-
i haven't had mine out, though i am going to have to sooner or later. they've told me this for a while, i've just put it off for whatever reason. it probably won't end up getting done until i'm >30.
as far as dry sockets, pain, etc.
my girlfriend had a really bad time when she had hers taken out (this was before we were dating), but a friend of mine from high school had his done 2-3 years ago (i dont know? he was ~25?) and has 0 problems. in fact, he came over that evening after he had them out and brought a big bag of taco bell with him. i guess it didn't bother him at all.
i've never been put under so i'm not really sure what to expect personally.
-
i had my wisdom teeth out sometime after college. 23/24 or so. i had this insane fear of being put under, so instead they just numbed my mouth and gave me nitrous for the whole procedure. i dont remember much, but my mouth was sore for what seemed like forever. percoset did wonders. vicodin helped out a lot too. i had that stuff for quite awhile. was well worth it for the drug supply i acquired.
a friend of mine is a dentist, and he was saying these days its damn hard to get nitrous out of a dentist. i swear by it for any appt at a dentist :)

Expect a good time. I've never felt better!

Miss P ... speaking from my own experience and that of a mom playing nurse to a teenage daughter who had a quadruple impacted extraction a few months ago ...
Here are my basic thoughts for you to keep in mind ...
What I found was that since it's your first time having oral surgery, the pain/discomfort afterwards may be worse from the initial stretching of the jaw/ligaments than from the actual surgery per se ... it took about a week for me to even be able to open my mouth wide enough to, say, eat a cheeseburger (no such problems after the second set of extractions though). Advil/Aleve will probably help that but hey, if you can go for the gusto, get the Vicodin/Percocet etc.
Dry sockets, I hear, are absolute hell but reasonably uncommon. Your dentist will give you tips to avoid them (don't use a straw, rinse GENTLY, etc.) I never had one, nor did my daughter (my husband did but he's never been one to follow the rules).
Before the surgery go to the supermarket and fill your fridge with soft stuff you love. Indulge yourself. We had shelves full of pudding, smoothies, milkshakes, etc. I think ice cream is not a good idea because it's really cold, so try to go more for room temperature or warm rather than extremes.
MAKE SURE you have someone there with you at the DDS to help you home. Not just to drive but to help you stagger out of there. You'll be out of it and won't remember much anyway. That's what friends are for ...
After you sleep for a few hours, have on hand some good books, good movies, Grey's Anatomy on DVD, what have you. Allow yourself at least 48 hours to just stay in bed with your favorite tunes, drugs and maybe some hot bubble baths.
Finally, compresses and ice packs. You know the old-fashioned ice packs that you see old guys wear in the cartoons, that you stick on your head and fill with ice chips? Those are great. Get two ... you're not supposed to have the ice on both sides at once, they suggest you shift back and forth and not have it on for TOO long at one time for the healing process.
The anticipation and dread is probably going to be worse than the reality, so indulge yourself to offset the discomfort/pain.
In my daughter's case, she was back to school in two days and never in agony ... at worst, she said, severe discomfort and even that was for a day at most. (Yay, she didn't use all the Percocet!)
Hope this helps and good luck!!!!!

I had mine removed when I was 18. Last thing I remember was listening to Stone Roses on my walkman, which was hot at the time. The drugs they gave me were very, very good. They tell me I laughed alot going down. Afterward it wasn't bad at all. A little discomfort, but nothing horrific.
-
I SURVIVED!
they gave me laughing gas + some IV sedation + novocaine shots. so now my puffy face is taking an ice pack and im watching 'freaks and geeks.'
i really want a milkshake :)
thanks for all the words of support and stories to scare the shit out of me. luckily, i didn't have an experience like mrpee. in fact, they escorted me out of the back of the building where my mother had the car was waiting for me...

i don't know about enamel, but i've got some pretty positive mental connections with the smell of my own burning flesh if that makes you feel better.

Oh man, I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled and 2 cut out all in the same day. As with most, I was loaded up with good drugs during the surgery and afterwards. I think they gave me Haldol for the surgery but then they gave me Percodan afterwards.
Unlike a lot of others, I do not at all get nauseous from the drugs and it has this great affect on my appetite. Just after the surgery, I came home only to eat a giant juicy rare stake, a big salad and all of the trimmings. Took me hours to do so but I ate every last bite and enjoyed every bit of it. The next couple of weeks I ate like crazy! The only thing I had trouble with where sandwiches and that was only because I couldn't open my mouth far enough to cram them in. Of course, with the appetite I had on those drugs, that sure didn't stop me. I just used a knife and fork or found some other way to break it down.
A little after the fact eating advice: Learn to chew using your front teeth and allow your saliva to break down drier foods. Your eating time will be much slower but if you try, you'll be amazed at what all you can handle.
-
congratulations! getting the wizzies pulled ain't so bad. the antibiotics were the worst for me...
and all mouth smells are bad. I've been assisting my dad/boss/dentist for the past couple weeks while the assistant was out, and while I don't mind doing it a couple of days...now I'm absolutely sick of teeth. didn't help that the last procedure we did was yanking a huge, decaying molar...one of the most disgusting things I've seen. I swear, my dad rarely does extractions, but whenever he does, I assist him. it's some strange unwritten universal law. BLEGH.
-
Didn't you go to FIT? I know they have a toy design major, but I was unaware of the dental school. Can I assume then that your scrubs are the height of fashion? :D

heh, I went to a couple summer classes at FIT, yeah, but I haven't been to college yet.
I work the front desk at my dad's dental office, and I basically fill in for anyone who's out...past two weeks filling in for the dental assistant, I'm trained for that from working here so many summers.

Gotcha. Not to stalk or anything, but it struck a chord with me when you said it. My wife went there, and prior to meeting her, I had never even heard of it.

whatever man I see you peeking through my window. I hate having the window desk.
oh, and my scrubs are the ones I bought when I was like 14...I don't bother with the pants, and the tops are close to being corsets. "stylish" isn't the right word

I learned a harsh lesson today - never go to the dentist on Friday the 13th. Looks like the "fitting nicely" part has expired and I'm having two yanked soon. Few things get me anxious, but the dentist is one of them. I am notorious for novocaine not working long enough and waking up/not falling asleep with the recommended dosage. This is going to suck.

Therefore, it looks like I need the address now, and maybe I'll get my wisdom teeth removed while I'm there too.

Got em pulled a few years ago. I remember being half-awake and hearing the sounds of my teeth being ripped out of my mouth - but not feeling it at all. The gas makes everything worthwhile. Enjoy it.
