That fuckin sucked! I am awaiting for my sweetie to bring me my VICODIN.

I am SOOOOO going for the IV next time. I did the gas... I had to ask if there was any flowin cuz I couldn't tell what so ever. So that ends that debate.

they won't grow back

I was very lucky when it came to my wisdom teeth. They were coming in straight so the dentist decided to take them all out at once. The IV is DEFINATELY the way to go.

You're lucky to have someone there to help you. I was on my own. The surgery was a breeze...the recovery sucked. If I were to recommend one thing it would be to ALWAYS eat something when you take your pain meds.

Take care

poor kitty....

That's what the dentist said. I still have two more in there...but no need to take them out. But at least I know for next time.

Sorry to hear that. I'm having steak tonight.

Yeah I wasn't sure which way to go...and they won't release you with out someone to take you home if you do the IV. Almost everyone said the gas will knock me out or I won't be aware. HA! I could have done my taxes. Seriously. I know what Nitrous should feel like a little bit and at one point I could smell it and I could feel tingles and then that all went away...and I was back to normal. I felt everything...it was the pulling of my mouth open and getting way back there that really sucked and the cracking of bone...UGH I'll stop cuz I am freaking out just thinking about it.

Next time it's ALL about doing it The Ramones Style... I wanna be sedated!

that sounds really gay

Vicodin?!?! WTF?


My doc gave me 60 Demerol's, I kid you not.

Yes, but he was going to give that to you anyways, after he saw the fresh stitches on your face.

Imago777 said:

HArdee har har, never had my face stitched, I'm pretty handy at keeping it closed up.

superspaceboy said:

i have to get mine out soon...the thing is, i have a mortal terror of IV's. regular shots are okay, but the idea of a needle staying in my arm/hand or wherever is fucking scary.

evenstar3 said:

it has it's risks...but after what I went through today...IV all the way.

WHere is my Vicodin? this is starting to hurt!

Yuck! For your sake, I'm glad it's over with. One thing - just be sure not to drink anything through a straw. You'd be surprised how much it can hurt to do that after you've had teeth pulled. I was surprised, anyway.

aww poor baby


i don't remember having mine taken out. lol i guess the IV was a plus

I had mine taken out, I really want to forget that day

My cheeks stuffed with bloody gauze, I felt like a chipmunk

I had mine taken out about 2 yearz ago!! I didn't want the needle, i wanted the mask...but was then convinced to have the needle (for anaesthetic!)

I hope your surgeon was good like mine was!! I was singing up on stage 10 dayz after my operation (cause it was below the gum)!!

evenstar3 said:

Don't worry- I had dat issue too!! It'z not nearly as bad as I thought it would be- and believe me I am the squeamish typez!!

The only bit dat annoyed me was when they told me 'oh it'z the ONLY needle you will get' ...wake up 2 find the drip on me...i was like ...especially when i ran out of the drip...i was like 'get this thing outta me!!' ...it didtn hurt it just felt weird

superspaceboy said:

Glad it's over for you, the experience sounded awful! I can sympathize, because I once had a tooth pulled where I was fully awake, and all's I had was Novacaine to deaden the area. Recently, I had to get another tooth pulled, and I went with the IV. It was much, much better, I didn't even know what was going on. The only drawback to having the IV was that I was out of it for a few hours after because of the meds they gave me. A couple of hours sleep took care of that.

oh you big babies!!! my dentist gave me a pain killer Rx but told me to try it with just advil first - i did and never bothered to fill the Rx
and the gas was lovely!!
it didn't make you all out of it but it took all the apprehension and nervousness away.

hope you heal quickly though spaceboy

Here's what I had.....

Introduced as an analgesic in the 1930s, meperidine produces effects that are similar, but not identical, to morphine (shorter duration of action and reduced antitussive and antidiarrheal actions).

Yeah, my oral surgeon told me to take Advil too (must be what all dentists/oral surgeons tell people). I did get a prescription for Vicodin, but never filled it, I just stuck to the Advil for awhile.

Can't you get a little bit of both?

I need to have mine pulled too
But i don't want any needles stuck in me
I'm afraid of injections

I need to have root canal treatment too
But unfortunately there are hardly any dentists here that
use a mask as anesthetic

Why didn't they just knock you out?
