I'm getting a wisdom tooth pulled tomorrow! I have a wisdom tooth that's cracking and I have to get it pulled. I'm so miserable because I'm really busy this week and I think I'm going to feel like shit.
They say it's pretty small, however, so maybe it won't be as bad as I'm imagining. I haven't had any of them pulled yet, so I don't know what to expect. I just remember people looking like chipmunks afterwards. My Legacy

Don't worry just a little bit of pain for a whole lot of good in the long run. I do sympathise though as it's not a pleasant experience although the thought of it is a lot worse than it actually is. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

Really Ive been holding off getting all 4 of mine pulled cause I have heard some pretty bad stories I've not actually had mine pulled out but I have had a large tooth pulled out in the chair. A tooth was growing at an angle which needed to be fixed by a brace which ran around the back of my mouth. Its objective was to straigten the tooth but it didnt work. As such, the dentist yanked it out with a mild anysthetic. It was quite painful as I was only about 9. It was a terrible year that thinking about it but something I shall not get into. Anyway, yeah, if its necessary for you to have it done just try and be brave. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

I guess it's worse for some than for others. I think I only have 2 of them. But I guess it's kind of necessary. My tooth is falling apart. My Legacy

i had four done at once. the first two were out before i could even blink.
the other two made the dentist work a little but with the nitrous oxide i wasn't anxious at all! it's lovely stuff, i recommend it. going home i laid on the couch for a day using advil to quell the pain. but things healed nicely and i didn't bruise at all like i thought i would. yeah it's going to be uncomfortable for a couple days but don't put it off. | |

But then it might hurt . sure, it would be more pain than I want to endure, but I like as little painkiller as possible. Numbness feels weird and i don't like it. Pain feels normal, as long as it's a manageable amount. My Legacy

I was put out when mine were extracted. Thank god, or I would have fainted anyway. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

I had to go to hospital to get mine extracted. The dentist wouldn't do it in his surgery. It was great really, because I had a couple of days off work too, and people running around at my every whim.

I went to a maxilofacial specialist - I was out- took him about 20 mins- don't remember the ride home or the 4 hrs after getting home. Woke up felt pretty good- never had to take any pain meds. Done on a Friday and back to work Monday.
Wish I had done it sooner actually. | |

Just got back. The tooth was small and they didn't have to cut my gums to get to it, so the pulling was actually very easy. Now I need to wait for the novacane to wear off and see if it's gouing to hurt bad.
I rewarded myself with a copy of Planet Earth. Now I need to see if it's actually a reward My Legacy
