Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

Mine were all impacted and two of them had cists on them. I had two at a time and it took about 3 days to fully feel OK. the first time, I had anesthesia and ended up with a puss sack, which was really painful. The second time I only had Novicain and it was better in two days and in three days I was totaly fine.

How do they tell whether to put you under or to just use novacaine??? I mean I need four done but they are not impacted?? I guess Ill ask my dr but i was hoping some of you would know. I never was under anesthesia and am a little nervous...

I really don't remember but the first time when I was under it I woke up hysterical crying and didn't stop for like 10 minutes. But I was also laughing at the same time saying "I don't know why I'm crying." Is someone driving you home? You definitely won't be able to drive after. I hope it goes ok and you feel fine afterwards!!! Chat Icon

Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

I really did not have a bad experience at all-- I hardly remember them coming out really.. I remember being in pain and it being very hard to eat for the first day or two BUT I did not get very swollen and I felt pretty ok the next day if I remember correctly. I do remember that I expected it to be terrible, and it really wasn't that bad. I lived alone at the time and was able to take care of myself just fine.

Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

I had 2 that were impacted. It took several days to 1 week for me to feel good again. Several years later, I had the other 2 pulled. I was fine the next day. I was surprised how much better that experience was than the impacted teeth. I only had novocaine with the pulled teeth, and I don't think I had anesthesia with my impacted teeth.

I had one that was infected and that was a doozy. But then I got the other 3 out at the same time (they were impacted) and it was fine. I was OK in like 2 days.

They let me choose. I was hesitant because I also had never gone under and it makes many people sick, and the last thing you want is to be throwing up while your mouth is all bloody. I also heard they are more gentle when you are awake for it.

My insurance covered novocaine but not anesthesia, but that's not why I chose it.

Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

I got them all out at once and it was not that bad. I took off that day & the next day b/c I was on Vicodin & I could not drive. The pain was not bad at all, and I was just sore for a day or 2. The best thing (other than the Vix) was the cold packs on my face every 20 minutes. It really helped the swelling and the soreness.

Impacted too - 2 out - it took about 3-4 days for the puffiness to go away. The stiches, for me, were the worst part. Yuck!

No reaction to the anesthesia at all.

Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

I had 3 out at once, all impacted I think i was out of commission for about 2 days, the day I got it done and the following day.

I wouldnt worry about the anestesia. I was terrified. It was a pediatric IV so you barely noticed and I woke up hysterical laughing!!!

To me it was more pain when one started to come in than getting them out was!

ETA: I didnt have any puffiness either.

Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

I had all four taken out last summer and recovery for me was a bit longer! I think it took 2 weeks to really go back to "normal" I took good care of the holes in my mouth! The surgeon was suprised! I lost a bit of weight as well.

I would never do two at a time and expereince this again! Good Luck!

Re: those who have had wisdom teeth pulled...

I've had two taken out, on two different occasions, but by the same oral surgeon, both lower, both impacted.
The first one I just did novacane, the took was hooked, so I had to listen to them break it and then take the pieces out, I decided for the second to get knocked out.
So, the second one, I went under, they took the tooth, and removed a cyst they found, and everything was fine, until I developed dry socket, and OMG was that awful!

I got 2 out at once and the pain lasted for about 4 hours and the stiches were taken out after 10 days.

I had all 4 pulled at once. The first 24 were tough but after that, other than swelling, I was okay pain wise. The swelling lasted a few days, good luckChat Icon

This happened to me and it was the pits.

I had an impacted tooth done under novacaine, with sweet air. It wasn't bad.

I had two done together via oral surgery (not pulled) on a Friday afternoon and went to work on Monday. I really didn't have much pain at all just a little swelling and slightly swollen still on Monday but nothing too noticable if you didn't know me well. I was told you couldn't eat and stuff and I was eating normally the next day with nothing more than some advil here and there.
