Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Yes, I was terrified to have my wisdom teeth out, too. For one thing, I was afraid I would be so terrified, I would die of heart attack! I wore slacks so no one could peak under my skirt. I was completely unconscious but woke up feeling fine. On the third day, I went to my evening class at the University and was tired walking down the hall. That was the worst of it! My husband had a tooth out. While the doctor told him not to remove the gauze or to spit, he kept doing that and really scared the wits out of himself. I think following the doctor's directions helped me a lot. Still I can't get my 24 year old to go to the dentist, let alone get rid of those wisdom teeth that have swollen her jaw and hurt her for years and could have been fixed under her father's insurance up until she was 23. I would guess the roots are wrapped around the jaw bone by now and it will be a difficult surgery and expensive when she finally has it done. So you see, you are not alone. Just go do it. You will be glad you did. Margaret (Marty) Byers , Ph.D., Retired Social Psychologist, AR.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi, I just wanted to say that when I had my wisdom teeth out it did not hurt at all. I was knocked out. The pain and swelling afterwards are nothing compared to a severe fibro flare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 I had my wisdom teeth out 1 year apart from each other. Doctor just gave lots of Novocain and pulled them out. I have to say the pain of the them being pulled didn't hurt as much as the pain I was dealing with before. ~~~Tami~~~ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Now my experience was just the opposite! The Navy doctors had been trying to yank my wisdom teeth out for years, but they weren't bothering me, so I didn't want them removed. Then I went years later to my local dentist for a check up, and he found the one wisdom tooth had such a huge cavity in it, he recommended pulling it immediately. Because of all the horror stories I had heard about wisdom teeth getting pulled, I wanted something for it, so he immediately sent me up to get my tooth pulled by a surgeon (with the nitrous oxide). I was very calm, and felt more like I was watching a movie than actually having stuff happen to me. The tooth was out before I knew it. Both the dentist and the surgeon kept asking me " are you sure you don't have any pain from this tooth? I can't believe you don't have any pain. You should be having a huge amount of pain with this tooth! " I'd do it with the laughing gas (after it was over is when I felt compelled to giggle, but I restrained myself until after I got out of the office) again, but not sure if I can now that I have asthma.
