    Default so, i just got my upper wisdom teeth pulled today...

    i haven't filled my painkiller script yet but the pain isn't that severe. any ideas on how to leviate the pain BESIDES taking pills?? i don't like pills, i have to eat them crushed in applesauce. i'm sick of ice cream, and i'm not hungry.

    danuel is making me an ice pack.

    any more suggestions?

    All I know is ice pack to the face. Fill that script though.
    Also, I'm sure your doc told you but in case she/he didn't no sucking through a straw. Avoid that dry socket.

    Pudding, jello, yogurt, Naked juice type drinks should be yummy enough to let you feel like you are eating whole food.

    ahhhh pudding!!! i forgot about that!



    i'm so freaked out about this dry socket madness. ahhh!

    i did however sneak a teensy feel... the holes in my gums are so cool. i even got to look at my teeth afterwards. they were in BAD shape, i've needed them pulled for years, they were really really decayed. i'm actually embarrassed to admit that, but they are gone now.

    i love gross stuff, can't you tell?

    I'm dreading having mine pulled. I've got three that have come in. I keep putting it off, mostly because I'm not sure what kind of effect the drugs would have on breastmilk and I'm still pumping milk all the time. I think vicodin and the like are not acceptable.

    Ugh, I have a consult for getting mine pulled on the 17th Corgan.

    Did you go under to have it done? My are impacted in the bone and I'm terrified.

    Ibuprofen worked better for me than anything else. The narcotic painkillers made me loopy and itchy as hell. I got all four of mine pulled at once and it took a couple days for the worst pain to go away. After that I was still sore for a week or two but it wasn't nothing that would keep me from going about my normal activities except of course eatting soft foods. Just use the Ibuprofen and ice, you'll be fine.

    You are so lucky- mine were SO painful. I bled for hours and passed out on the kitchen floor from dehydration. I know, it was horrible. Suck on ice cubes, and make sure to take your antibiotics!

    i'll send them to you when i'm feeling a tad better!

    i loooooove the dentist that did it for me too. my friend recommended her after savinga few grand on some work. i had to drive to houston (2 hours) but sooo worth it! it only ended up costing me $580 for everything. in beaumont, my estimate was around 2k.

    i have a problem where i cannot take pills. it's a mental block, but still, can't do it. i don't even really like meds anyway. i explained to her i'd never used laughing gas, nothing... i've never had anything done.

    she put me on that laughing gas and i was sooo loopy. the only thing i felt painwise was the injections in the roof of my mouth. that was just a little pinch... but when the numbing agent was getting injected, i felt that, and it was sooo nice. even stretching my legs on the gas was nice. i've never done x, but i was thinking to myself, if this is anything like x i've got to try it.

    warm water with some table salt is what my dentist recommended to relieve pain when my wisdom tooth was infected so it will prob do the same.

    I can't believe they had you take laughing gas if you don't like to be medicated. Mine were all 4 impacted and they had to chip through bone to get to them, but managed with just the local.

    Also, don't be terrified of a dry socket. They aren't that bad. Not saying they are fun, but the way my Dr talked, they were the worst pain in the world, even mom had one and acted like she was dying. I had one, and while it was painful, it wasn't that horrible.

    As for pain relief without pills, maybe you could ask your Dr about a topical anesthetic? Not sure if they would have anything that could be used with open sores, but you could ask.

    DO NOT drink through a straw!! I made this mistake after having all 4 pulled... It pulls out the clots that stop them from bleeding. Ewwwww.

    maybe im wierd but one of the coolest part to having 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed was getting the little plastic syrynce that you use saline in to clean your sockets out after you eat and throughout the day. it feels really cool haha.

    i drank through a straw after 3 days, just do it slowly an dnot too often.

    Oh..I"m going to have to have one pulled ASAP. Sucks because though I have insurance it doesnt cover everything and I'm afraid of what it will cost.

    But I woke up today in so much pain I blindly grabbed pliers and tried to yank it out of my head myself(dumb I know..but in that much pain you arent thinking straight). I was also salivating like crazy..had to spit a bunch of times.Thankfully I had some Orajel in the house.

    Its breaking off..one piece came off today and it looks really rotted. Its sharp on the edges(it cracked when it came in) so it cuts into the inside of my cheek. There is also prob a nerve exposed because when I touch it,like with a toothbrush the jolt of pain is insane.

    I think it is impacting because it makes the whole side of my jaw hurt when it flares up.

    How long did it take per tooth? Do you remember? Did yours come out easily? I think mine will crumble or break which will make it harder.

    ^that's what mine was c!

    i knew it was decayed because i could taste bad breath, but when i talked it didn't make it out that far, it just stayed behind in my mouth. does that make sense? when i saw it, i was shocked. i'll post pics later, but really... the tooth is chipped, almost to a nub, and the inside is black and brown. it doesn't smell, i guess because it isn't attached anymore. DO YOUR RESEARCH FOR A GREAT DENTIST! Mine were already out, no impacted ones.

    Here's my bill:
    oral evaluation $65
    panoramic xray $95
    non IV concious sedation $90
    extraction 1 $165
    extraction 2 $165
    total $580

    she pulled each tooth in under a minute. so worth it. i am soooo happy!!! no more pain! the sharp part scratching the inside cheek is the worst!

    you will feel so much better when it's gone! my friend that drove me took me wherever i wanted to get ice cream and what not, and she was like, "i feel so bad for you, i know what this is like..." and i just said, "this doesn't compare to what i've dealt with for the past 3 years." so get them pulled. it's beyond worth it.
