Getting a tooth pulled.

[AJ]

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?

It was one of my lower ones right before a moler. And the lack of a crown also made me change my chewing habbits, but over time it didn't matter. I wish I had an x-ray to post up, cause you'd get a better idea of how bad that shit turned out.

I actually still have my wisdom teeth, all 4.
It was a custom back home in Bosnia to take the teeth before the wisdoms out so that when wisdoms come in they have room to grow, so yeah, i don't have my whatchamacall it ones, but i have the wisdoms.
The suckiest part of it all, the dentist was in one corner of the schools building.

At the end of the 6th hour i went over to the dentist, got 4 perfictly good teeth pulled out, it was a shortage of novacain, she only used 1 dose on all 4 teeth, a guy comes over, she straps my head in and hands and legs too, and says to the guy "hold his head too", puts the mouth guard in and spreads my mouth open. She then climbs up onto the chair, puts one knee on my chest for leverage and starts yanking the teeth out, i swear she pulled my jaw out at least 2 times. after the 3rd tooth i don't remember anything because i fainted.

Now thats what you call being put under...

Not like these days they give you a injection and you wake up 2 hours later.

Then i went back to my 7th hour class to take a test, was 12 years old.


The memories...

i just had my 3rd root canal done yesterday, and it was the worst, the dentist didnt numb me up enough and then stuck the needle right in the nerve of my tooth, i started shaking and damn near ripped the arms off of the chair. Next is my wisdom teeth.

Ya, when they did my root canal in Feb, the xray showed that my wisdom teeth appear to be coming in. I need to have it done before they surface. I don't have dental insurance. As long as they are below the surface yet, it's covered under my medical insurance.

With the R.C. the procedure itself wasn't bad. Not sure about yours but mine was done over a period of 3 visits. First visit was just to remove some of the abcession. The painful part was the numbing when they stick the needle into your gum. I'd swear he's coming out the other side. The other painful parts is that dam clamp they put around the tooth. I'd swear it's like a Vise grips plyers. They kept pinching the skin around the tooth. Hurt when the numbing shit wore off.

the wisdom teeth usually aren't that bad if they are not impacted. all four of mine were impacted and I was in excrusiating pain for almost a week thats why I used the whole prescription of vicodon and the refill. but it's different for everyone

I had my wisdom teeth pulled in bootcamp.. That was fun had Two Lr Cmdrs do it and the one got to practice on me. That was weird hearing a drillling and sawing noise and then cracking. eww. The one who was practicing on me pulled like a nerve or something because that was paniful. I've had about 15g's worth of dental done. Yep Mt dew was the devil when i was little. But hey it was all free baby!
