No really, either its plugging or bashing plugs, so we needs some change in life! Anyone plugging here will get angry hate mail...

Anyone had their wisdom teeth pulled? Its getting late in my life and I get to have them pulled tomorrow. The doctor gave me the spiel about all the risks involved and all the horrible malformities that can occur if they screw up and now I don't know if I wanna go.

Stupid evolution. If it wasn't for the fact that humans were evolving now, we wouldn't need to worry about wisdom teeth vs. mouth size.

see that's funny cause in my comic...
just kidding,

Yes I had my wisdom teeth pulled, the aftereffects are hideous. You have holes in your gums that food gets stuck in, and if you don't gargle saltwater to flush it out, it rots...
very very bad.
very very nasty.

I really also hated the first five minutes after I woke up from the gas...blood filling your mouth.
also bad
also nasty.

Have a great time!

Weeee!!!

I'm just hoping that the laughing gas and other fun controlled substances will make it worthwhile.

On the other hand, it might not be that bad.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled around noon, and I was eating pizza for dinner. No problems.

And yes, I did have to rinse with salt water, but that was no big deal.

Good luck!

Oh SURE, if you actually RINSE your mouth it's not that bad.

Sheesh.

You know, I've a busy schedule, I can't always get to a glass of salt water after meals...

...

...you know, makes me think that sometimes the dentist DOES know what he's talking about when he tells you to do something.

Seriously, I mean Coke eats your enamel? Bah. He wants me to quite! He even told me I have the healthiest teeth he has seen in ages but had the gal to say to stop drinking Coke. I drink lots of coke and my teeth are great BECAUSE of that.

Or brushing after every meal or flossing? Whoever invented flossing obviously never had to do it...

Dumb dental higeine... even if I can't spell it...

Tooth decay is caused by 3 things
1 Poor diet
2 Poor brushing
3 Bad Fairies!

I made the mistake of using mouth wash after getting a tooth pulled once... I'm glad I messed up with THAT, cuz I'm getting my wisdom teeth out in a few months... Good Luck Whiner, tell me how it goes so I can curl up in a fetal position and cry for a week before it's my turn for the horrible gum slashing tooth pull.

I still have my wisdom teeth AND my tonsils! And I have a metal rod in my back, so i'm like the bionic man. And I swallowed a nickle when I was 11!

I'm glad you mentioned that crazywolf, because it's something I myself have given alot of thought to in these past months. Can good fairies make up for the lack of diet and brushing habits? Cause I've got a whole closet of fairies...

that came out wrong, lemme try again.

I have a whole plethora of fairies just waiting to keep my teeth shiny, so tell me why they're yellow about the edges? Is there nothing I can do?!(Apart from what the so called "professionals" a.k.a. orthodontists recommends.)

Whew, glad that's over...

Regarding the coke issue, it's been my personal observation that >nothing< can survive in fresh coca-cola. I mean it will practically cook raw meat. No, I think it's unlikely that I have enamel anymore, but on the other hand, I can repeatedly kill any critter that wants to grow on my gums by throwing back another 20 of Cherry Coke.

Well I just had three teeth filled, so I guess it's not so bad. It still hurt the next day though!

Kevin Wolf · Post by **Kevin Wolf** » Thu Jul 11, 2002 10:05 pm

My wisdom teeth came in years ago, and it hurt like hell for a few weeks, but I've still got 'em because I'm HARD.....CORE.....

However, I also guzzle Coke and have been known to be less than conscientious with the dental routine, so who knows how long I'll have ANY teeth in there.

I hope you all know that the zombies on Resident Evil were caused by dentists' failed wisdom teeth operations.

My wisdom teeth are growing in VERY slowly, and PAINFULLY. They move a bit, then a couple months later, they inch up one millimeter more, and it all leads to....2 weeks of not chewing toward the back of your mouth each month. And they're not impacted or nothin'. I'm not a big fan of coke...I'm more of a Dr. Pepper person (fountain, of course ^_^) but I have been known to drink coke on occasion. Did you know it's good for nausea, and will clean the burners on your stove really well? Honest! My mom soaked her burners in a big bowl of coke (why does that sound like a drug reference?) and they were clean in 1/2 an hour! And we put this in our stomachs....@_@
Oh well. What was I talking about again? Oh yes...wisdom teeth....

TheWhiner · Post by **TheWhiner** » Sun Jul 14, 2002 7:43 pm

They're out. It took the surgeon a whole 20 minutes to pull all four teeth. No swelling, very little soreness and lots of medication. I got away lucky this time.

My comics are suffering because I cannot think straight from the meds... ugghh maybe I should go to sleep now.

J-Buckleyline · Post by **J-Buckleyline** » Mon Jul 15, 2002 9:20 am

My brother wasn't. When he came home,his mouth was soooooo swollen that if you made a picture of him from the neck up,you think he was fat.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I hate dentists now. Haven't been to one since what, 1996? Can't remember exactly now. See, my dentist almost killed me then. ALWAYS ALWAYS go to an oral surgeon if the wisdom teeth are impacted. Don't ever trust a mere dentist that says he can do it, especially if he doesn't tell you the risks.

My dentist accidently shoved my wisdom tooth into my sinus. This, as you may guess, is bad. A one hour procedure ended up a painful five hour ordeal on one day, and an operation the next. Oh, and the night in between? I had to sleep sitting up so as not to make the situation worse. I now have three holes in the left sinus. The natural one, the one the dentist created in the back of my mouth, and the one they had to cut in my cheekbone to take the tooth out. And after, the oral surgeon told me I couldn't sneeze. You never really notice how hard it is to stop sneezing until you've been told your life may depend on it. Oh, and I still had 3 wisdom teeth that absolutely had to be removed, else I'd end up with my jaw wired shut like my aunt. I went to someone else much later for that.

I was very sick for several weeks, but pulled through. The only other time my father had heard of this happening, the person died.

Wow, that all sounds like a big downer, but I've found it therapeutic and fun to gross people out by telling them what happened.

TheWhiner · Post by **TheWhiner** » Wed Jul 17, 2002 5:37 pm

Ouch...

I went to an oral surgeon just because they said that they would put me under and use all kinds of fancy medication on me. I was all for it.

Remind me never to trust my dentist again...
