My other three wisdom teeth never hurt growing in and they've never pushed my teeth. I'm hoping the dentist won't want to take them out "just cause."If it ain't broke....
I'm also PETRIFIED to do this whole process of having the tooth removed. The last time I was at the dentist, he drilled my tooth without novicane :shock: He said "Ah it's only a pinhole cavity, you don't need a numbing agent." Uhhhh...yeah, I did. Worst experience ever. That was about 6 years ago, and I haven't been back since. I tried a couple of times, but ended up cancelling the appointments after literally having anxiety attacks on the way there.

All my wisdom teeth were impacted below the gums and had to be cut out. Like you, I was really nervous about the procedure, but once I took the first couple of hits of nitrous oxide all was right with the world
Before the procedure my gums were very tender and hurt. The only thing I did was to either chew ice or eat popsicles. Coincidentally, that was all I did for the first day after the procedure too. But, the dentist gave me some decent pain killers afterwards, so that was cool too.Post edited by markymark550 on0 -
For what it's worth, my extraction (I HATE that word) required only novocaine (get it without epinephrine if you can, since you - as I - are prone to anxiety in that situation; that shit makes my heart race more than necessary). I almost passed out just from anticipating how it would be...and as always, it was worse in my mind than in reality.
But my dentist was (is) very gentle and generous with the novocaine, and it took not even a minute to do the actual deed (that's what she said)
Afterward was much better than I expected as well.
Definitely go to one who wouldn't even consider doing a filling without numbing you first!
Maybe also try 1-800-dentist?
(ps to JOE - thanks for the)

That's your preference but I've actually been put under five times for sugeries and there's truly nothing to it.I'm not sure how it's done ofr dentistry but all I know is they give you a little shot that makes you goofy as all hell...you suck on some gas...and then the next thing you remember you wake up and it's done.
I will say I did wake up during shoulder surgery once. That was freaky.:?

Let me give you some advice if you're paranoid (like I am): do NOT look up dry sockets! I don't think I have one but can't rule it out yet aaaaand freaking out about the prospect...ouch!"Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith."

Aleve works great for toothaches, I have had all four wisdom teeth out
a couple other attractions out and numerous toothaches prior to
many dental procedures.
I was awake for all ...
the laughing gas is a gas
being put under can be a drag. I had that twice in unrelated surgeries
and I felt like a truck ran over me for days after.
Good luck hope you feel better soon.
This as all things shall pass...0 -
Jeez, I don't even wanna know how I'd be with the gas...I'm goofy enough as it is"Now YOU listen. When we are on this ship, you are to refer to me as 'Idiot' not 'You Captain'!"0

It's been said above but all I can say is clove oil, clove oil, clove oil! My ex-husband had some really bad teeth shit goin on for a while back in the day, he was not quick to take anything, or do anything about it but once he tried clove oil was like OMFG why didn't I do this AGES ago!!
Hope things get sorted for you soon with minimum pain(in the mouth/jaw & wallet).<hr>
