I had 4 removed (bicuspids) at the same time about six months after I got braces. The pain meds only made me sick, so I had to suffer. I just took sleeping pills and stayed asleep as much as I could. I hope they let me keep my wisdom teeth after the braces come off:|

I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled in boot camp. I got a local anestetic. The doc wasn't all that gentle but after seeing the teeth he pulled I knew why. They were all inpacted and he had to roll them out because the roots curled like a roller coaster. He said GD several times.

Afterwards all I got was 800mg of motrin that lasted about three days and cotton to fill the holes. a doctors note to the Drill Instructors to leave me alone if I didn't yell. That went right overboard. I could only take the motrin when I was eating because the D.I. left me alone long enough to swallow them.

I should have had them pulled when I was a teen before they broke the gum line when a civilian dentist could have knocked me out completely and given me good pain candy to take home.

First extraction - Nitrous - I ws OK until the Novacaine wore off, then it sucked.

Had 2 wisdom teeth pulled under a general anesthetic - Sucked the royal wet one after the meds wore off and for several days after that.

Getting teeth pulled sucks no matter what.

OUCH!!!!! Thankfully I was out cold when they yanked out all 4 of my wisdom teeth. The doc overdoing the general plus being very generous with the pain candy made about 4 days pass in a flash.

My mom metered my meds for me, even said I was up and around, driving places. Scary thing was running out of the meds on Tuesday and having no memory of the previous 4 days [:/]. I couldn't tell you if it hurt because I honestly don't remember :P.

Does the term "dry socket" mean anything to you!
I hope you do not learn the true meaning of it over the next couple of days.
If it was a lower wisdom tooth, careful drinking whiskey through a straw



"dry socket" is killer pain.....
"the clot" in socket is extremely important...

(wtf...use a straw for sure)

the extraction of the tooth from the socket violently disrupts the attachment with the nerves and blood vessels. The first stage is the formation of the clot-
that protects the exposed bone for 6-7 days.

Ya certainly need that exposed bone protected folks-
we are talking killer pain when it is disturbed, dislodged.........before granulated tissue replaces it around the 7th day- then connective tissue replaces that- until trabeculae is formed in the socket (35 dayz later) The complete regeneration of bone at the site takes several months.
