Bad fang removed

11 years ago

Got the bad wisdom tooth pulled today, it's a mean one.

http://i.imgur.com/9W8io6w.png
This was an impacted mandibular wisdom tooth that grew in horizontally, 'bulldozing' the molar before it and putting me in a very unsexy amount of pain for the last year.

Great to have it gone, the wound's got a little dull after-surgery pain but thats normal, not so bad.

Dentist said I need to take the next few days easy, minimze stress, no work. Relax.

This is because of the surgery but also because I had to quit smoking today because of the surgery, so need some tranquility to get all healed up and better.

I'll get all better soon and be ready for work monday <3

Great news! Yeah, the area will be a bit tender for a few days, and have this odd sorta "hole" feeling, but it'll pass. Awesome news with the smoking!

Ahhhh, heh - was wondering for a sec there. My mate has struggled with smoking for 34 years - vaping (e-cigs) helped her drop from 1.5 packs a day to 1 cig... big difference, but that last one has been hard to stop. The longer you go, the better - there are just SO many awful chemicals in them. Best of luck! Give a collar on here if you need to talk to anyone. :)

I quit... when was it. Think June or July last year for 4 months.
Just cold turkey, dont crutch on vapes or tablets or patches or gums.
You suck it up for 72 hours to get all the nicotine out of your system and after that it gets easier, just keep busy and dont smoke <3

*nods* I think that's part of my mate's problem - awaiting a hip replacement, she can't really keep busy and is always in pain. :( Once she gets the new hip and we can get out kayaking again, I'm hoping the ciggies will become history.

The worst part is the injection really, didnt even feel them take mine out - just some pressure and crunching

Just remember two things with quitting smoking that my mother taught me. 1. Find something to do with your hands and 2. when you get cravings, just keep telling yourself "it will pass" and it passes soon enough :) Awesome sauce of the quitting though, good recovery!

Lots of water and cranberry juice works great for cravings, none so far though XP think my body's too busy going 00 at the big gaping hole in my jaw than to notice it hasnt gotten nicotine and friends for 14 hours XP

Sudoku. Or word searches. Or solitaire. Just some throwaway game that's all too common on smartphones nowadays.

Great to hear it's been removed so that pain can be gone. Feel better and enjoy some relaxing. =)

Feel much better, thank you!

I guess relaxing is an acquired taste lol, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing

Nothing!

Nothing can be a bit slow at times though. =)

I lost a tooth to an infected root, but it wasn't the wisdom tooth. but what came later is exactly how you describe. took me a few weeks to be able to chew without having to take care of the spot, but that's a minor nuisance.

Konfuzius says, malicious tooth can not bite.

yeah these 'bulldozed' teeth still hurt bit but they can get removed soon as the hole here is better. they must pull all the bloody things, never want to have toothpain again. ITS FROM HELL.

Konfuzius say malicious tooth can not bite
EC say impacted molar can go fuck itself!

super ouch! i need to get my very last one removed. it's super sharp and wrecking the bare gum below it! not to mention my cheek :C i hope you heal up and the pain goes away quickly!

It was really painful when it was in there, not so sore how though. The procedure and healing so far is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less painful than leaving it as is.

Watch out for sharp edges that you dont cut your tongue and get tongue pimples hey (infected tastebuds) those are really uncomfortable
I hope you get well soon too
