Getting a tooth pulled.

[Kracka]

I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I was knocked out for it. It was great, woke up and it was all done; I felt no pain during or after.

Had a root canal done Feb. Didn't put me under but the entire side of my mouth was numb during the process. Didn't hurt a bit. Only thing that hurt was the $700 payment. They suggest a post and crown within a year because the tooth will get brittle. That's another $800. Screw that.

As long as we're on a tooth subject, has anyone had a root canal done and not a crown on that tooth, if so..how many years are you on now without a crown?


Get the fucking crown, this is exactly why I had to get the tooth yanked today. Cause one day when I was new at ATK almost 2 years ago I was eating a milk dud and the tooth broke a bit. Little by little it got worse and eventually got really bad, my gum got infected, and after I saw the x-ray I knew it was no laughing matter. Basically I was a walking time bomb to where I could of woken up one morning with an infection that was the size of a golf ball.

Over the last 2 years I've spent a lot of time getting my teeth fixed up, and even had some serious cosmetic work done for preventative reasons. I'm not ashamed to admit I was horrible as a kid and in my teen years for keeping my teeth good and clean, but I do realize how important it is now. I wouldn't suggest putting anything off very long.

What about in the days to come? All my wisdom are in now, but they want to take them out. And when I have good insurance again I'll probably do it, but I can't stand being laid up. This one tooth it bad enough, thank god I have a laptop I can cuddle with.

I was back at work the next day. The only reason I used one of the 15 Vicodins given to me was b/c I was bored sitting at home and just wanted to sleep (this was the day-of the pulling).

Getting wisdom teeth pulled definitely seems to effect everyone differently, but the sooner you get them pulled the better.

exact same thing here. i would have gone back to work that day if i hadnt been all gassed up. so i went home, popped a vicodin.... and slept for 12 hours haha

next day i was back at work and everyone was asking me what i was doing. it was no big deal

I'll have to take your advice and get the crown done this summer. They told me at the time that they recommended around 6 months or so. It's my back bottom molar. I hardly chew much back there.

Was yours a molar too or one of the frontal teeth?

Had my wisdoms taken out a couple years ago, none were out yet, one was peaking though. They put me under and woke up to what seemed like a few mins later, they wheeled me to the car, got my prescription for vicodin and went home and slept for a long time. It wasnt bad at all, but the saltwater rinse was gross...

I remember vicodin really fucking with me taking only half the dose too. lol

Getting a tooth pulled is the worse. After I got my wisdom teeth pulled I could hardly eat for 2 weeks because I could not open my mouth.

Well good luck, I hope you start feeling better soon!

I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled. They wouldn't be willing to knock me out as I had no driver, so I stayed awake. boy, was that an experience. I could see my chipped teeth flying all over the place. And the worst part was, when they tried to numb my gumbs the first time, I guess they didn't put enough or in the right spot so I felt alot of pain on their first try until I corrected them.

My mouth was really sore, and bleeding nonstop for an incredibly long time.

I had my wisdom teeth (only had 3) extracted (oral surgery) when I was about 22. It was terrible. I think I was off work for most of the week, and I don't think I ate much for about a month after. Good way to lose weight though. :D
