My doctor told me about 3 months ago that my wisdom teeth are impacted, after looking at a sinus x-ray. She didn%26#039;t make it seem that bad, so I have been waiting to get it done until the end of the summer. They started swelling and hurting Very bad so I finally went to the Dentist who said they are all underneath bone and I need to do it as soon as possible. Is that how all impacted wisdom teeth are? (Under bone) Just how bad is this surgery going to be? I took a week off of work next week, he said I should be okay after 4 days after the surgery. I thought I was going to be sedated, but he said I will be mostly awake, just how much pain can you feel this way? I am mostly nervous about being awake. I was awake through a minor sugery one time and it was a Horrible Experience they said I wouldn%26#039;t feel a thing but I felt EVERYTHING! Any encouragement from someone who%26#039;s had this done?? Thanks!
Impacted Wisdom Teeth?? HELP?
My Husband had all four of his impacted wisdom teeth removed by a Maxillofacial Surgeon. They are the true professionals. They will make incisions and not try to pop it out of your mouth like the idiot Dentist the Woman above me had LOL He recommended he take a few days off work -I%26#039;m not going to lie to you-it was not a walk in the park but they give you strong pain pills that make you sleep and you obviously cannot eat solid foods or drink through a straw for a while but it also wasn%26#039;t the horror show the person above me experienced. My advice to you is to go to a specialist, preferably one who will sedate you either by pills or laughing gas or have an anaesthetist on hand. Even better if the Dentist has a partner or two sharing the office building so if he/she get in over their heads they can have access to help. There are a few Family Dentists who may try this for the experience but don%26#039;t be their Guinea pig-leave it to a professional and I assure you-you will be okay!!
Reply:I wish I had more comfort for you, but I also had impacted wisdom teeth. I was awake during the procedure and it was quite painful. They had to push really hard on my jaw to get the teeth out and then they dislocated my jaw. Plus the teeth came out in little pieces. It was not fun. It does take awhile to heal, but after your week of vacation, you should be doing much better.
Reply:My oral surgeon wouldn%26#039;t put me out because of an irregular heart rhythm (mine, not his LOL), so he gave me two prescriptions to take an hour before the procedure. It worked REALLY well, so I would tell your oral surgeon and see if she%26#039;ll do it. I got a 2 mg Ativan, which is for anxiety, and 50 mg of Demerol, which is for pain. When we got to the office, I had to practically be poured into the chair! Then they gave me some nitrous while they were doing the work. I was WAY mellow!
I never had any cavities or anything done besides cleaning before all of this so I was really REALLY nervous, but with the Ativan and nitrous and stuff I didn%26#039;t care WHAT they did! LOL!!
Just don%26#039;t rinse your mouth a zillion times a day, don%26#039;t use a straw for like a week, and be very calm and not exercise for like 3 or 4 days and you will be fine. I was a huge major baby and now 3 weeks later I am doing fine!

Impacted wisdom teeth symptoms??????
I saw the denstis about a year ago and he told me I have impacted wisdom teeth. Since then I have felt alot of pressure on the roof of my mouth, and weird tingling at the base of my neck and front of my head. Also when I train in martial arts and roll on the ground, I feel it much more when the blood rushes to my head (The tingling and pressure in my mouth) Can this be from impacted wisdom teeth?
Impacted wisdom teeth symptoms??????
ouch, yes this is one of the causes for your weird symptom. I waited until I was older to have mine out and they grew into the bone. Don%26#039;t wait to get rid of them :)
Reply:I got a lot of headaches before I got them out, that was my symptoms. The other thing that happens, is they move and become crooked and sometimes move closer to the other teeth.
Reply:I had three impacted wisdom teeth.
It caused horrible headaches and my teeth started to go crooked.
The pressure is mostlikly from the teeth, but i%26#039;m not sure about the other symptoms.
I would get them removed if i were you.
I did, and my headaches were gone.

Impacted wisdom teeth?
my gums are swollen where my wisdom teeth is i have had one removed but i need the one that is impacted to be removed. i have no money how long will my teeth stay impacted will it get worse. for me to get my tooth extracted cost 300 dollars i don%26#039;t have the money and cannot borrow from anyone. it does not hurt just feels swollen. my state (ga) does not have any dental schools near me and they don%26#039;t have any clinics that extract wisdom teeths i have to go to a oral surgeon.

I work for oral surgeon%26#039;s and this will only get worse. Ibuprofen can help with the swelling - up to 800mg every 8 hours. In the mean time, as sore as tissues are, try to brush/rinse under the inflammed tissue (plague is building up under tissue where tooth is attempting to break through.) Chronic inflammation leads to infection. Antibiotics would be helpful too. You could try going to the emergency room. Most have oral surgeons that they work with and then maybe you can work out a payment plan. good luck.
Reply:you need them removed
Reply:sorry i cant help you haha
Reply:Well Im sure they will bill you, you can risk going into collections for it if it starts to hurt you.... I would not wait to get it out, itll only get worse.
Reply:See if they can put you on a payment plan. Since it doesnt hurt right now start paying them now so that you have already paid them some before they start. Some offices also offer financing as well, and sometimes you can get interest free for 12-18 months.
Reply:Yeah it%26#039;s just going to get worse. You%26#039;re eventually going to need medical attention. If it gets infected it will be worse. Good Luck, if I was you I would find the money necessary. Maybe you could get on a payment plan...
Reply:Aspirin reduces inflammation. Your tooth will stay impacted until you have it removed. You need to use punctuation.
Reply:The longer you wait and the older you are, the worse the wisdom teeth can impact you. (according to my oral surgeon)
I let my wisdom teeth go impacted for 4-5 years before I had all 4 extracted just a week ago and I%26#039;m having a lot of issues with it.
It%26#039;s been 9 days and I%26#039;m still in a lot of pain and now I have an infection on my lower left side.
I would save up the money and do it as soon as you can.
See if you can at least get on a course of antibiotics and take Ibuprofen to help relieve the pain/swelling.

Reply:rinse your mouth out with warm salt water 4 or 5 times a day. see if you can set up a payment plan with an oral surg. you need to get that out b 4 it gets infected. some one surly will help u and let u make payments. they have a Hippocratic oath they take when they b come dentists
Reply:I just had the same experience. My cousin is a dentist but lives abroad. Best thing to do is mix salt with a bit of water and rinse your mouth few times with it. That will work as a disinfectant. It works.

Impacted Wisdom teeth removal?
I have to go get my impacted wisdom teeth removed very soon and I was wondering about how long it will take me to recover. The oral surgeon said that my tooth is laying right on the nerve and it could give me permanent nerve damage in my mouth...Is there any websites that give you the step by step process of the impacted wisdom tooth removal procedure with picture that i could see? Also if there is a post operation of what to do/not what to do on a website could you please let me know THANKS!!
Impacted Wisdom teeth removal?
hello there.. i had my wisdom teeth extraction done about 2 weeks ago. I dont know if u are going to be awake or not during it. but i had a intravenous iv.. i wasnt completely out, howver i dont remember the procedure at all. i was so nervous going into it, but afterwards i felt silly for worrying about it so much. i had it done on a friday.. i was still numb till about sunday. i didnt swell up at all.. and wasnt in much pain. by the way i had all 4 taken out.
each person varies for how they will be affected by it, and how much time it takes to recover. within a week i could eat whatever i wanted. the first few days its more like soft foods such as yogurt , pudding, jello, applesauce etc.
i would say recovering time to where u completely feel normal is about a week, but then again everyone is different.
anyways i hope that helped. hang in there it will be over before u know it!
good luck

Reply:Good luck, and I hope you don%26#039;t end up with dry sockets like I did. I had all 4 of mine removed on Tuesday, the bottom ones being way impacted and 1 being extremely close to a nerve. Chances are, the tooth that is on top of the nerve will be broken into pieces, as that was what the oral surgeon did with my tooth that was close to a nerve. And I am still recovering from the procedure, but am at work right now. Just am eating mushy/soupy stuff, or easy frozen foods (ice creams or popsicles). Funny, I followed the post-surgery instructions, and I still ended up with a dry socket. But it was caught early enough.
Good luckm and hope you don%26#039;t have any problems afterwards!

Wisdom teeth issues, Is it really painful for non impacted wisdom teeth growing in?
I don%26#039;t think my wisdom teeth are impacted at all. I can see the crown growing up. I think is it was growing in sideways or if it was impacted then the crown wouldn%26#039;t be showing or it would be shown pushing against the nearby tooth, but it isn%26#039;t. I think the pain is coming from how the tooth is growing in. I think its growing in normal but unsure if theres enough room. The tooth is growing up into (unsure what the name of the tissue is) You know the very back where the wisdom tooth grows, theres an arch and a lot of flesh that looks like cheek issue where the gums seem to end. Well my tooth is pushing that cheek issue in the archway and its growing in a spot and making room I guess? Its turning the flesh in the back white like stretch marks and its making it wrinkled.Its just really painful. Ibprofen only makes the pain somewhat bareable. Its been 6 days of contact pain. There is no infection im sure. salt water and bakign soda are useless.any ideas if this is normal for growing right?
Wisdom teeth issues, Is it really painful for non impacted wisdom teeth growing in?
Yes, this sounds very normal. Teething hurts just ask a baby. Try to keep it very clean, brush across that tissue and make sure to floss the backside of the last molar, down under the gumline. The only thing I can suggest is to keep the Ibuprofen in your system. You might try Aleve because it is less medicine to take. Get some freeze pops and chew on them either closed or open. Just make sure you are chewing with that area. This is to numb it. You might get some Ambesol OTC as a temporary numbing solution. Not much you can do really except get them extracted. Good luck.
Reply:no. your a man. your being to big of a pus**
Reply:All four of my wisdom teeth came in just fine. Maybe a bit of soreness once in a while, but nothing to ever worry about. The dentist said I had plenty of room, so no reason to worry about taking them out. I think it%26#039;s a common misconception that people believe that everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed...
Reply:My wisdom teeth are coming in now also. If you can see the tooth where it should be, that%26#039;s a plus. One of mine grew in straight and slowly turned toward my cheek and now I%26#039;m getting all 4 out. To be safe and to save a lot of pain later I%26#039;d see a dentist.
Good luck!
Reply:Hi there,
I only have three and they are growing in as well. I know on is impacted so only two are coming through. They are growing very slowly. So, the only time they hurt is when they grow a little and touch my inside of my cheek. It takes my mouth a week to adjust, and then I am fine. Your pain seems worse and I really think that if it is an option for you, you really should go to the doctor.
Feel better soon!

Abscesses are usually caused by specific microorganisms that invade the tissues, often by way of small wounds or breaks in the skin. An abscess is a natural defense mechanism in which the body attempts to localize an infection and %26quot;wall off%26quot; the microorganisms so that they cannot spread throughout the body.
There are at least three types of dental abscesses that resemble each other. It is their point of origin that differentiates them.
A gum or gingival abscess is the result of injury to, or infection of, the surface of the gum tissue.
If an infection moves deep into gum pockets, drainage of pus is blocked and a periodontal abscess results.
A periapical abscess refers to a tooth in which the pulp is infected, usually secondary to tooth decay.
An abscess may occur when bacteria invades the dental pulp (the nerves and blood vessels that fill the central cavity of the tooth), causing the pulp to die. This most commonly happens as a result of dental caries, which destroy the tooth%26#039;s enamel and dentin, allowing bacteria to reach the pulp. Bacteria can also gain access to the pulp when a tooth is injured.
Failure to treat an infected dental nerve usually leads to breakdown of the bone around the root with the formation of an abscess or cavity filled with pus.
The abscess is called acute or chronic, depending on how rapidly it forms and how effectively the body defends itself.
An acute abscess is characterized by pain, swelling, and fever.
A chronic abscess may be painless, with the patient completely unaware of its presence even as it continues to grow inside the jawbone. Or the area of infection may be walled off by a fibrous sac, forming a granuloma, which contains non-infectious (sterile) tissue but not pus.
Most of the pathological lesions and tips of roots are granulomas, but it is common practice to refer to all such conditions as abscesses. Since granulomas are usually painless and very slow-growing, they are discovered only by means of dental x-ray examinations. Unless the whole tooth is badly decayed, the tooth can be saved by root canal therapy.
Symptoms of Dental Abscesses
Pain is gnawing and continuous. The involved tooth is painful when percussed (tapped), and often the teeth cannot close without added discomfort. Hot foods may increase the pain.
If treatment is delayed, the infection may spread through adjacent tissues, causing cellulitis, varying degrees of facial edema, and fever. The infection may spread to osseous (bony) tissues or into the soft tissues of the floor of the mouth.
Local swelling and gingival fistulas may develop opposite the apex of the tooth, especially with deciduous (temporary) teeth. Drainage into the mouth causes a bitter taste. Abscesses from lower molars may drain at the angle of the jaw.
A chronic periapical (at or around the apex of a root of a tooth) abscess usually presents few clinical signs, since it is essentially a circumscribed area of mild infection that spreads slowly.
Treatment of Dental Abscesses
It is important to determine which type of abscess is present so that the appropriate treatment may be rendered. In all three types of abscesses, the pus must be drained. Antibiotics may be prescribed if systemic symptoms such as fever and swelling in the lymph glands are present. (Mouth infections often affect the lymph glands in the neck region.) Deep cleaning will be undertaken for gum pocket (periodontal) abscesses.
If too much bone has been lost and the tooth is too loose, it may have to be extracted. In the case of a periapical abscess, root canal therapy or tooth extraction is indicated.
As diabetics are prone to the spread of infection, abscesses should be brought to the attention of their dentist so that prompt treatment may be begun.
Generally, an analgesic (pain-reliever) such as aspirin or acetaminophen alone or with codeine is needed. Bed rest, a soft diet, and fluids may be necessary.
Failure to treat an abscess can lead to serious infection as the pus spreads. Fever and malaise intensify when the infection penetrates the bone marrow of the jaw, producing osteomyelitis.
Prompt antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention in more extreme cases are usually successful in limiting the abscess or osteomyelitis, although often not before extensive and permanent damage has been done.
Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Dental Abscesses
How serious is the condition?
Has any permanent damage been done?
If the nerve has been damaged, does a root canal always need to be done?
What type of treatment do you recommend?
For any surgical procedures or treatment for the bone, should a specialist be consulted?
Will you be prescribing any medication?
What are the side effects?
Reply:it%26#039;s periabical abcess that you mean, i%26#039;m sure. its a pus filled form of decay at the end of the root of your tooth--VERY serious. i would not delay getting the impacted teeth extracted as soon as possible. if you do not, you%26#039;ll continue to have pain and could end up losing bone which makes your mouth unstable for the rest of your teeth. so you could end up losing more teeth if you wait.

Can impacted wisdom teeth canuse sinus problems?
I have both upper wisdom teeth impacted and can be felt at the mouth ceiling, often I feel irritation (itching feeling) inside the mouth behind top feeling, and frequently I have runny nose and irritation from nose to the mouth ceiling. Do the impacted teeth have any contribution to these problems?
Can impacted wisdom teeth canuse sinus problems?
Sometimes. They can cause lots of problems, or it could be something else going on w/ your sinus. Get the wisdom teeth taken care of anyway. They can cause other troubles.
Reply:There are many reason to have sinus problems and the first place to check it out is with a ear nose and throat doctor. You have to rule out any nasal problems and/or allergy problems first. You might have a polyp or growth in the sinus. Or there might be a deviation in your septum that causes nasal congestion. You might have season allergies that can cause a runny nose.
If after checking medical reasons for your sinus condition,you can also see your dentist and have a panoramic x-ray taken of your mouth. This type of film shows the position of your wisdom teeth. If they are very high up into the sinus, they might be a cause of sinus congestion, howeve, most oral surgeons will not extract wisdom teeth that are too high into the sinus cavity because of possible complications. So, before you do anything, go the medical route and check for any problems in and around your sinuses.
