wisdom teeth

[Guest]

just wondered if anyone on here had had theer wisdom toothout? i was in great pain all weekend witha na acute infection on one that is trying to come through and they have refered me to hospital to have it out when its all cleared up and was wondering what teh procedure was like?

I went to the dental hospital and went under a general anesthetic. Looked like a beaten up hamster for a week swollen bruised cheeks. But I did have the 4 out.

I had all 4 of mine taken out under general anesthetic, my face was bruised and swollen and I couldn't eat anything for days, I had mine taken out at the dentist, the pain was unbelievable I found labour less painful

im only having the one i think! as ive never experianced labour i can imangine that teh pain is bad! teh dentsit thought local anthestic should be fine? !

I had all mine out under local at the dentists, he did the top ones together and then I had the bottom ones out one at a time. Really didn't think it was that bad so don't worry. DD had all 4 out together in hospital last year and she had a general - she looked a bit like a hamster afterwards but didn't take long for the swelling to go down.

I had only one taken out by my Dentist under sedation years ago.
I can honestly say, that when I woke up I was fine, there was hardly any pain and I was not swollen at all.
If you are only having one, it should go like clockwork.

Its the worry I know, sending you lots of love xx

hi i have had both my uppers taken out at the dentist with just a local. it was a bit achy afterwords but not enough to require painkillers! my roots were all knorled and twisted to. the dentist wasnt sure if he would manage - thankfuly he did tho!. im sure u will be fine, good luck

I am the same as claire, my dentist did mine under local as well, 2 at a time, I had 2 stitches per tooth and they needed to be removed after 3/4 days as it healed so quickly.

It really was not bad, I had bolted from the dentists 4 years earlier in a panic and hadn't returned until that time.

Since then I was fine and grateful to be rid of them

Good Luck

I had all mine out under general at the hospital. It went well apart from them leaving a fragment of tooth in the one side and it becoming infected

hiya
I had all 4 out when I was about 22 under general and I think the anaesthetic is the worst to get over, my face did swell up and I bruise really bad so I looked worse than I felt, the couldn't eat bit got me down, but once that is gone you will be fine...
Just think you can get people to wait on you... and relax a little bit...and watch daytime telly ...
