Wisdom teeth impaction removale?
Let me start out by saying that I am deathly afraid of the dentist. However the pain of a broken tooth drove me to her office for relief. Little did I now that the broken tooth was my wisdom tooth and they were all in various stages of eruption; not to mention impacted. I too was referred to an oral surgeon, who then made an appointment for removal.


This past Friday, all four of my wisdom teeth were removed while I was asleep. I was talking the surgeon and the next thing I know they were waking me up and telling me that it was over. Since Friday, I have been swollen and a little sore, but it is not as bad as I could have imagined. Actually, my biggest problem is that I am hungry, because I can only eat soft food (oatmeal,soup, jello, etc.). It was not bad at all and they gave me great drugs too!!!
Reply:They can tell from the angle if they are impacted. Sooner will be far less painful than later.
Reply:Most oral surgeons will put you to sleep with an IV drip. Don't worry, it's a tiny prick, not unlike someone pinching you. You will be giving Novocaine during the surgery so your won't feel it when you wake up and heavy pain medication to take yourself afterwards. The first hour after surgery is the toughest time, hands down. Your mouth will bleed, you have to change gauze, you won't feel like eating even though you're starving, and you may be nauseous. (If you or a relative has been put under and you vomited a lot, tell your surgeon.)





If you aren't being put to sleep, relax as much as you possibly can. Most dentists' offices offer laughing gas and pure oxygen. Breathe deeply and fully fill your lungs up before the surgery. You will get high off oxygen! Bring relaxing music in with a pair of headphones and a CD player.
