I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled out today, I'm real nervous Options

[REBELnDISGUISE]

I don't like getting teeth pulled out. Cause of all the bleeding and the swelling. Has anyone had their wisdom teeth pulled out yet? Do they knock you out? Numb you?

[Spirited Away]

I had all four of mine out when I was 18. I was knocked out (which isn't the safest method).

it's not? o.O

[beautifuls0ul_x3]

Yeah, my mom did. Uh they had to knock her out i believe. They got a knife and cut them out. She came home that day and yeah, i give you the best of luck my dear friend.

[Spirited Away]

Actually, I don't know. I've only heard rumors that numbing is better and there maybe side effects to being knocked out by gas...

[heyyfrankie]

^ yeah, i think i heard that too. but whenever i got one of my teeth pulled out, they just put a shot of novacaine(sp?) in my gums & i didn't feel a thing!

until afterwards, that is.

[*incoherent*]

^^thats what it was like when i got teeth pulled.

i think i get to keep my wisdom teeth though because i have a huge jaw. not like sticking off of my face...but my denist said id have room.

[eccentricity]

My brother has. When they knock you out complete, you're like drowsy for the rest of the day and the next. Numbing is better.

[xtreme_<3]

mines are still growing but my uncle said when they tried to pull one of his out, they had to pull tried pulling really hard like 3 times before it would come out but he was numbed so he didn't really feel anything but it is pretty funny sitting there when they're trying so hard to pull your teeth out and its just stuck there. its like, wtf is going on?! and you get a panicky have a fun time at the dentist.

[Ken]

my friend just got hers pulled and shes doin fine...and i got mine pulled and it didnt hurt because of the novacaine....they make u bite down on gauze though...and after a while it starts to taste bad...

[demolished]

Well i almost did have all my teeth to be pull out but 1-2 teeth per each visit.
i may be the first cB with lots of teeth pull out in my past.

Dont get too nervous about it even it's blood.
Be brave about it.
It will not kill you at all.

Trust me, i gone through all those pain.

I have a major teeth pull out also.

i have 3 extra teeth hiding under my gum

Luckly, i pull the 3 teeth that was in the extra teeth's way.

They got rid of my roots also.

Good luck. You'll feel so much go dam better after you're done with the paper package out of your mouth for at least 2 hours.

Then, treat yourself with creamy mints ice cream with strawberry syrup on top. Topped with chocolate sprinkle and strawberry.

Thats what i did. I love those good shit.


edit.

Before the process of teeth pull out, they gave you a pain-relieving pills so you dont feel much pain of your teeth when it pulls out. They would numb your gum and lip also. Dont worry so much. Just close your eyes and think positive. Thats what i did.

That's all from my experiences.

nm, dont trust me or believe me. i was confused because you say "wisdom" teeth. Anyways, my brother did have his wisdom teeth pullout (long time ago). He ate alot of jello. dammit, i couldnt have some.

[Eryi]

I believe they knock you out. But it could be Numbed.

[parallel]

I heard that they put you to sleep or something.
I haven't gotten mine pulled out yet. But I'm scared cuz I know I'm probably gonna soon.

[angel-roh]

When I was young --- Yes. I cried like hecka.

I don't really remember the pain, but I know I cried for 2 days straight.

[shortiiex]

well...i don't know the difference betwwen a wisdom teeth and regular
but almost all of my teeth were yanked out...they numbed it so i wouldn't feel a thing...but a felt a little of it..then i felt a lot afterwards

[miss barnes]

wow i just went to the dentist today & she said it looked like mine were coming it good. so no pulling for me!!!

[REBELnDISGUISE]

It was horrible. They hooked me up with all these monitors to see you're heart rate and breathing and they hooked me up with an IV. They numbed me but I was still awake. Then when I went home I passed out on the sofa for over 3 hours.

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

^ lol mine is still growing but that just scared me

[smilz2dasun]

that scares me. i have to get all four of my wisdom pulled out before the school year starts. i think i'd rather be knocked out than just be numbed. i wouldn't like to know what's going on...even if i couldn't feel it.

[toodlepops.]

I don't know, my wisdom teeth are still intact. But I heard it's really painful. But they'll numb you or something.
Don't worry, if they do something wrong, you could always sue the dentist later!

[hyperchick]

MEEP! I'm getting mine out this Tuesday! Scaaaared! I guess it's better to take them out young than old.

Don't scare me! lol.

Anyone have any soft food suggestions so I can add it to my list? >_<

[REBELnDISGUISE]

My face is still swollen and yesterday I had to take like more than 10 pills. I've been eating rice in soup and mashed potatoes in gravy from KFC. I've kinda been slurping them into my mouth. And to top it off...my parents keep taking pictures of my swollen face! They say I remind them of the guy from Nutty Professor. WHICH I M SO NOT!

Ow. Hope you get better soon.

My mom already stocked up on soft foods for me...yay!

what do you mean "when i was young"? how young? you had your wisdom teeth when you're young? you don't look anymore than 15... is it possible to have wisdom teeth out at a younger ager than 15?

[sharerol]

is it possible to have wisdom teeth out at a younger age than 15? 

Well the topic starter is 14....

That's weird because the other day I told my mom that my wisdom teeth are coming out and they said they don't come out until around 17 or something like that.

exactly. having your wisdom teeth bother you at the age 16-17 is considered early. i didn't know it was possible for kids to have wisdom teeth growing past the gums earlier than 15. I guess in some cases, that's possible?

learn something new everyday.

[beautifuls0ul_x3]

Wisdom Teeth usually erupt when a person is between 15 to 20 years of age, however this is extremely variable. Occasionally Wisdom Teeth may erupt much later in life.

Wow, your parents sounds disturbing. What a wierdo.

Wow, we both use the same method of eating.
Where's the ice cream?
Well, i think it's time for you to go buy some campell soup(sp?).
or sweet and sour soup packet at your local asian supermarket.
(It's really good but someone have to make them for you. it's pretty easy to make simple soup.)

Ask your mom if they can add bits of green onions to your soup (any soup).

[Spirited Away]

I get different numbers from different sites. lol. very confusing.

and if they erupt it is usually between 17-21 years old

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt. This occurs usually between the ages of 17 and 25.

source

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 18 and 20 (although they may appear when older, or fail to appear at all).

They are called "wisdom teeth" because they usually appear during a person's late teens or early twenties,

source

These teeth typically appear between the ages of 17 to 26.

They are called wisdom teeth because usually they come in when a person is between 17 and 21 years or older, during what has been called the "age of wisdom."

as you can see... 15 doesn't begin the 'wisdom age', that's why i was suprised.

^ i have a question.

How do you detect your wisdom teeth when it is going to erupt?

[Spirited Away]

^ i have a question.

oh, you'd know it a lot sooner than before it erupts... detection method=pain.

[beautifuls0ul_x3]

I got the same information.

I guess it could be possible? Maybe they are saying that all 4 wisdom teeth come out by the age of 20? Maybe he just got 1 or 2 pulled out? lol i don't know...

well i hope you get better soon.

[demolished]

thanks alot. i dont have to be suprise that much.

Is there any way to detect your wisdom teeth by looking at it?

[Spirited Away]

thanks.

So, i should have my teeth checkup every 6 months or once a year (when i'm 15 .. )

[Spirited Away]

um, you should have check ups twice a year anyway. even before you're 15.

[demolished]

^
Wierd. Doesnt your wisdom teeth erupt at around age 16-2?

How come its important to have 2 teeth check up every year.
I have my teeth check up once in my lifetime.

[SylverLunarSweet...]

i had my lower two wisdom teeth taken out already. they were preventing my molars from coming out. all they did was numb my mouth and give me laughing gas. it wasn't such a risky operation to the point where i had to get it done at the hospital. at first it didn't hurt, but then when i got home, i started crying from the pain so my mom had to rush out and get the painkillers. all i ate was mashed potatoes from kfc, too. lolz i eventually got tired of it. i just think it's better to have that done now than later.

Ok, look people! lol. I'm FIFTEEN and my appointment for taking out my wisdom teeth is AUGUST 2, which is TOMORROW. So obviously my wisdom teeth must have been growing even BEFORE I turned 15. So yes, it's possible to take out your wisdom teeth before you're 16 or whatever.

Just because someone says they're taking out their wisdom teeth or already did, doesn't mean the wisdom teeth have actually erupted past the gums. It could just mean they're getting it surgically removed...as in they're going to dig in there (Ugh, makes me look forward to tomorrow ) and take out the wisdom teeth before they grow anymore.

And it's best to take them out before you get "old" 'cause there will be less complications and it'll heal better.

Just thought this might answer some questions.

Oh and yeah, you know your wisdom teeth are growing when your dentist takes X-Rays. Fun fun.

Please read the thread. No one is saying that it's impossible for someone to have surgery before 15. Don't be ridiculous. Do you know what words I was using? "Growing past the gums", "" and "erupt" doesn't tantamount to saying it's impossible to have wisdom teeth before the age of 15. Again, a ridiculous assumption from you not reading correctly.

You're not answering any question I didn't know before. Thanks... for pointing out the obvious.

[jue]

i dont pull my teeth out. I just let it fall out.

[*salcha*]

...I don't think wisdom teeth can just "fall out"

Those posts ^ made me think you guys didn't think wisdom teeth were surgically taken out at age fifteen or younger. The words "coming out" and "wisdom teeth out" sounded like you meant TAKING them out, not having them ERUPT past the gums.

I'm sorry if I made "ridiculous assumptions". Don't hate me. Sheesh.

Oh and thanks for the sympathy. I have two big holes in my gums, a huge chipmonk cheek, and pain. Yup, I'm definitely having fun over here.

Sorry, we were just having a conversation. Was all that even necessary?

[Spirited Away]

I apologize for 'sounding snappy', but that's it.

That is how I write to people who make assumptions when they never finished reading the thread and I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings. I mean, the words 'past the gums' and 'erupt' are there so there's no reason why you had to say what you said, which is obviously already understood to those who thoroughly followed the thread. So, that's why I told you to read the thread.

Saying "don't hate me" wasn't necessary either. I don't hate people for so simple a thing, but I do get annoyed.

[hyperchick]

No reason why I had to say what I said?! Did even you read MY post at all? Obviously you don't even care to think of other people's perspectives. You only see it YOUR way. FYI, people don't see everything in the same way, and I'm sorry if I didn't see it your way. I didn't "assume" anything out of the BLUE, otherwise I'd be pretty darn stupid.

'when they never finished reading the thread'. SEE? Now YOU'RE making assumptions. Before I reply to ANY threads like these, I read through ALL of the pages till the very last post and THEN I reply. I swear.

I'm in enough pain already. Why I bother to even look back at this thread to deal with someone that's arguing about something I don't even know why he/she has to get so snappy and defensive about is beyond my understanding.

You get annoyed over things not even worth getting annoyed over.

Don't bother to reply to me, I won't even come back to this thread. Kthnx, I'm going to change my bloody gauze now.

[katssso]

No, but i was supposed to get mine pulled out like 2 months ago. i had to keep re-scheduleing.

[iced__cappucino]

er i had to get like one pulled out by they made me numb cuz its like safer than gas cuz my mom owuldnt let them do gas cuz she said it could do somthing to your brain??? or its not safe??? meh

[xklipse]

i had my wisdom teeth pull out when I was...9? it was bad...I wasn't put to sleep...(i wish they would) that put some stuff to make it numb, but i was awake...I cried alot too..haha...xP it was bleeding so much too...erk...the pain last several days

my dentist did call it a wisdom tooth tho... the one that's all the way inside...and is way bigger than the rest....or im just an abnormal kid? eh....

[ichigofan]

No Not yet and I hope I dont have to get it done soon =/ well I think they give you novacaine but im not sure, I think that only root canals are done without any drugs.

[turbulent]

aaah thats scary!well i hope your face gets less swollen? hmm, well i guess they were taken out for a good reason lol so now you dont have to worry about thoes wisdom teeth screwin up your mouth?!

[Sh0gun831]

gg

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

im not sure what wisdom teeth are but i think they're the ones in the back right? but anywayz, i dont think it should hurt if they make ur mouth numb. cuz i was gettin my second tooth out wednesday and it was growin on the side of my gum but i didnt feel alot of pain since my mouth was numb. its like not feelin nuttin at all. dont worry. you'll get through it

[hall0w]

yay then i can see my teacher suffer :D if it lasts til tuesday she pulled it out on friday

[Rachel]

Zooomg, I have to get all 4 of mine pulled out soon. I am scared to DEATH.

The whole thought of the doctors being able to put me asleep then me wake up with teeth outta my mouth and looking like a chipmunk just freaks me out!!

Thank god for the drugs I get <333

[Jane Doe.]

^Haha, I was wondering why this was bumped. I read this post a week before mine were pulled out. It's not bad, really.. I was completely unaware of what had happened when I woke up, I think it's funny. I felt no pain, but the numbed skin, bleeding, dizzyness and drooling right after is no fun. After a few days you can eat and then after about a week you can open your mouth and wash the back of your mouth with toothpaste.
I got mine taken out on the 3rd, but I won't be able to use listerine for a month. That blows . And it's scary to look at the ..uh, wounds in a mirror. It's like a little inverted mountain/hill.

Again, .

Uhm. And if you're like me, the drugs won't make your stomach feel any good. If you can't eat nothing but baby food and apple sauce and take your medication, it hurts. That was the worst part.

[AnnahhbeL]

i dont have my wisdom teeth yet.

[voguelove]

nope. im 16, and i havent gotten them out. the last time i got a tooth removed was when i was 6.

do you HAVE to get wisdom teeth taken out?

[angelrevelation]

i knew a guy who got his wisdom teeth pulled out... he had swollen cheeks for a while. but they should give you pain pills and stuff, so it should be fine

[Smoogrish]

i've actually never had any of my teeth get pulled out. all of my friends who have say it's really not that bad, it'sd just a little hard getting used to missing teeth.
