Alk Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 So who here has had theirs pulled? I'm going in on Dec. 1 to have all four pulled. My only concern is the Big 12 Championship is the next day and I was planning on going. How did you guys feel the next day? I realize that I'm not going to be able to eat anything or most likely drink any beer but as long as I'm not completely miserable I'm going to try to go to the game.

Thor99 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 You should have your other 6 teeth pulled out at the same time. You'll be in some serious pain the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had all four taken out while I was awake. My ride did not show up so I took a bus back to the barracks. That evening I had Boston Cream Pie for dinner. I did not think it was that big of a deal.

haggis Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 PFSIKH hooks another one I see. I have 3 of my wisdom teeth through (they started coming in when I was 18). The 4th is dormant which is good as it would come out through my cheek if it started to move. Once in a while it flairs up a little, but hopefully it doesn't move anymore.The upper left one is a bitch to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I had all four removed about five years ago. You're not going to feel like going to a game. Had 1 pulled as a kid of 18, and the other 3 pulled together about 2 years ago January. You will not be in the mood to go to any football games. But the painkillers are lots of fun-and preclude you from driving any where. Either schedule it for earlier in the week or the following week if you really want to go to the Big 12.

Alk Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well great, you guys aren't helping me at all. I have heard from three people that said the next day was a cakewalk and about 20 that said it sucks. The dentist I'm going to is seriously booked up or I would have had them pulled by now and I have to get them pulled before January so I'm going to have to keep the appointment and miss the Big 12 Championship. :Cuss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dentist I'm going to is seriously booked up or I would have had them pulled by now and I have to get them pulled before January so I'm going to have to keep the appointment and miss the Big 12 Championship. :Cuss: http://www.webmd.com/content/article/66/79608.htm What Does Recovery Involve? How quickly you heal depends on the degree of difficulty of the extraction (a simple extraction of a fully erupted tooth versus a tooth impacted into the jawbone). In general, here's what to expect. During the first 24 hours Bleeding may occur for several hours after tooth extraction. To control it, position a piece of clean moist gauze over the empty tooth socket and bite down firmly. Apply constant pressure for about 45 minutes. A moistened tea bag is an effective alternative. The tannic acid in tea helps healing blood clots to form (blood clots function similarly to a scab on an open wound). Repeat this process if a small degree of bleeding continues; if heavy bleeding continues to occur, contact your dentist or oral surgeon. Avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours after tooth extraction, avoid "sucking" actions (for example, don't drink beverages through straws or smoke) and avoid hot liquids (such as coffee or soup). These activities can dislodge the clot, causing dry socket (see below) to develop. Facial swelling in the area where the tooth was extracted typically occurs. To minimize swelling, place a piece of ice, wrapped in a cloth, on that area of your face on a schedule of 10-minutes on, followed by 20-minutes off. Repeat as necessary during this first 24-hour period. Pain medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) can be taken for minor pain. Your dentist or oral surgeon may prescribe more potent pain relievers, such as narcotics, if necessary. Antibiotics that may have been prescribed prior to tooth extraction (to treat any active infection around the wisdom tooth to be extracted) should continue to be taken until the full prescription is gone. Foods should be chewed on the side of the mouth opposite the extraction. Avoid hot liquids and alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours. In the case of difficult extractions, consume a soft or liquid diet for the first 24 hours. Continue to brush your teeth, but avoid the teeth directly neighboring the extracted tooth during the first 24 hours. On day two, resume the gentle brushing of your teeth. Do not use commercial mouth rinses - these can irritate the extraction site. After 24 hours Facial swelling in the area of the tooth extraction should be treated with heat after the first 24 hours of ice. Apply a moist warm towel to the area on a 20-minute on, 20-minute off schedule. Repeat as necessary. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1/2 teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) after meals and before bed. Do not use commercial mouth rinses. Stitches, if used and if not of the self-dissolving type, need to be removed by your oral health care provider in about 1 week. If you do require stitches, ask what type you have been given. Watch for signs of dry socket (described below). This condition requires treatment by your oral health care provider. Complete healing doesn't occur for a few weeks to a few months following the extraction. However, usually within the first week or two, enough healing has taken place for use of your mouth to be reasonably comfortable in the area of the extraction. Your dentist will explain what to expect in your specific case. What Are Potential Complications? Two of the more important complications include: Dry socket. Dry socket is a common complication that occurs when either a blood clot has failed to form in the extracted tooth socket or else the blood clot that did form has been dislodged. Without clot formation, healing will be delayed. When it happens, dry socket typically occurs 3 or 4 days following the extraction and is accompanied by pain (ranging from "dull" to moderate to severe) and a foul mouth odor. Your dentist or oral surgeon will treat the dry socket by placing a medicated dressing in the socket. Dressing will need to be removed and replaced every 24 hours until symptoms subside. Paresthesia. Paresthesia is a less frequently occurring complication. Wisdom teeth entrapped in the jawbone are often close to nerves. Sometimes these nerves can be bruised or damaged during the tooth removal process. The result is a numbness (called a paresthesia) of the tongue, lip or chin that can last a few days, weeks, months or may even be permanent.

These work much better than an ice pack (as the peas begin to melt, they form nicely around your jaw). Ice should be placed in 20 minutes on/20 minutes off increments. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water also helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetswin Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If they are not impacted you should be fine. You may even be able to skip the pain killers and have a few beers. Your gums will be a little bit sore from the stitches, but you'll live. If they are impacted forget about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them to not even bother putting me out when they pull them, that was the thing that freaked me out the most was the idea of being put under.
