Just got my wisdom teeth pulled out by a specialist. Been a long time coming :noah:

[BmoreGorilla]

I only had to get one pulled when I cracked it eating popcorn last year


As long as you brush and floss like you should there shouldn’t be any issues. They’re just harder to reach. It was a smooth process for the most part tho. Worst part was a few hours after it was done and I had fell asleep. I was woke up by that pain medicine wearing off and feeling like my jaw would explode

 

[Hot Red Buns]

I was knocked out completely. Last thing I remember was them putting the drip on me and makinng me inhale oxygen. Then I woke up later after the procedure. Somehow I felt fine and didnt feel dizzy or starting halucinating. I thought I was gonna be like one of them youtube people telling all my secrets to the doctor :


Got home and started taking the meds. Now im high as fukk

only thing is my jaws are swollen now

This was pretty much my exact experience and I loved it. I got all 4 of my WT pulled at once, and it was done as surgery, Not as a standard extraction. I was sleep through the whole thing.


I was also afraid I was gonna start saying things to the dentist I planned on taking to my grave but didn't happen. Only real negative was the swelling, I went from looking like a little Janet Jackson to a black Quagmire. shyt was very humbling for the next few weeks.


Glad you had a positive experience with it , way too many people afraid of the dentist, particularly dealing with their wisdom teeth.

Damn, carrying that toothpick or paperclip around I was bout that life before having one pulled a few years ago. Shoulda did the others at that time. Now the one above the one I had removed is growing in, guess it was used to resting on the tooth below.
Second one on the bottom worsening. It was hurting a few months back and I went to a dentist to get it pulled. Said I had a curved root and needed to go to an oral surgeon. fukk. Don't have dental insurance so waiting until open enrollment at the job so I can add a plan
shyt acts up again I might have to go to Mexico.

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

don't make the same mistake as I did and ignore them until they start causing problems

When I was like 18 or 19 the dentist told me I should get them out but I didn't take it seriously at the time because they didn't cause any problems. Shyt caught up to me in my late 20s when they started decaying and getting infected.


Even if they're not growing, impacted wisdom teeth are hard to clean all the way and prone to decaying, and sometimes they can cause the tooth next to them to start having problems too. Not to mention your gums.

#molargang gon get theirs, they don't take no losses

Same thing happened with me, thought I dodged a bullet for 20 years breh , then #molargang caught wind of me boasting and bragging on some hard candy talking bout "I don't have them problems" my mouth strong

#molargang waited for a snowy 3 day weekend to attack breh they impacted my other tooth on some strong arm tactical shyt...that pain breh

I also have no medical insurance, but at this point I had to dig into my savings for that oral surgeon so i can put it behind me for good. Man, when I saw the total ill I damned near passed out . Just booking the theatre room for one hour was over the half trhe total cost

But shyt went smooth on one of my female friends came to pick me up and drive me home

I'd say save up and do it once and for all. Health is wealth you only have one set of teeth. Imagine the racks you'll have to cough up for fake teeth once your real ones get rotten

Get em taken out brehs stop being lazy

 

[NormanConnors]

Got all 4 of mine removed when I was 24 (a long time ago) those boys weren't even showing/had to be cut out of my gums


They weren't giving me any problems but the dentist said they could potentially push my other teeth out of alignment. A breh has always had a pristine grill since elementary days, so I chose the just in case option

Worst pain I've ever been in my life post surgery/recovery though. Got used to the pain killers too quickly . Couldnt eat anything solid for 2 weeks/lost about 10 lbs.

Not being able to open my mouth barely enough to fit a fork in was the precursor to TMJ issues down the line

I was out during the surgery though, woke up in lala land talking all kinds of wild shyt.

I had good dental insurance and still had to come off about $1200 of my own money. shyt pissed me off.

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Please be careful with the painkillers, breh. I became addicted to them shyts after the surgery.

Lol preach, me and painkillers have history

 

[fkthisgaysite]

Still got all mine, 4 to be exact...they’re impacted though but I believe they’ve pretty much stopped growing...

Turned 27 last month and still got mine. All 4 impacted. No insurance or savings.

That's about the age I was when mine started having issues started out just with food getting stuck in there every time I ate Then I started noticing my gums around the wisdom teeth were getting tender a while later I started noticing a smell no matter how much I tried to brush/floss them then some of the adjacent teeth started getting cavities




My advice is to hit up a clinic and get a quote for getting them extracted. If yours can be removed with just local anesthesia (meaning they just numb your mouth instead of putting you to sleep) it won't be that expensive.

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

So breh what would yall recommend as diet for the next week or so? I only ate some powdered cereal mixed with milk after I came back.

What should I avoid? AM I gonna have to give up wine for a while?

Sigh...Damn...

Pretty sure I already got that cuz Ima heavy weed smoker. I used to smoke out a tobacco leaf as well (Backwoods, Game Leafs, Fronto leafs...etc) which made it all so much worse. Switched to raw cones two weeks ago.

But yea...Ion think my breath is that bad yet but it seems to be heading that direction unfortunately.

Ty for the advice and I will try to heed your warnings.
"Try" because its easy to SAY i will be actually doing it is different.
