Wisdom Teeth

Ok....I got a cold yesterday but except it didnt seem like a cold. I was just real congested and a lot of mucus draining down my throat...But my gums are hurting today..Does the cold symptoms have anything to do with my wisdom teeth? My roomate had the same shit last year and he had to get his out..

    You can get infections from your wisdom teeth trying to come through... I had mine out last yr... go to your dentist to see if you need them out.

    Yeah, you'll be fine. I probably could have/should have gotten them out before my sophomore year but I put it off until the end of the year and didn't really have any problems besides occasional discomfort. Everyone is different though.

    it's really not THAT terrible. I would recommend going to the dentist and seeing what they say. That's something you don't want to get infected or impact your other teeth. And if you need to, go ahead and get them taken out.

    i'm going to have to go with the 'it's different for everybody' approach on this one.

    i got lockjaw from the trauma to my jaw. i couldn't open my mouth wide enough to eat anything but soup for 3 weeks. i lost 15 pounds in 14 days. worst experience of my life. in all honesty, my teeth really didn't hurt that bad, and if i could go back and have the choice of going my whole life with the pain of having the wisdoms grow in or have the surgery again, i'd DEFINITELY go with the lifelong pain.

    Yeah the same thing happened to me, I couldn't fit a spoon in my mouth for a week and a half, but the vicodin was nice!

    Yes you can wait until Thanksgiving. You could probably wait until Winter break if you wanted to.

    Wisdom Teeth removal is such an easy process. As I mention in all of these wisdom teeth threads, I had all 4 of mine removed, I took two advil, I took a two or three hour nap and I was eating steak that night.

    Well that's wonderful! My jaw has been hurting recently and I think it's because my wisdom teeth may be coming in. I decided to see what everyone else was posting in here so that incase I have to get mine taken out, I would know what's going on.... but then I read your post and now I'm scared to death!

    i was supposed to get mine out in may 2002, didn't get them out til december of 2004.

    they hadn't been hurting, just needed to get them out because my insurance was running out.

    they knocked me out, i got them out, woke up, was groggy, went home, slept, had a few bags of frozen peas on my neck for a while, didn't really hurt at all.

    was eating french fries and cooked carrots about 3 days later.

    With all due respect to those who are saying the process is a breeze -- it's different for everyone. Believe me, I'm happy for you it was little problem. Back in March of 2001 I started having incredible pain from the one on the bottom lefthand side. I made the decision with the dentist and surgeon that if they were removing 1, they might as well do the other 3 as well though they weren't being a problem. I had a fair amount of blood afterwards, I suppose that's kinda common, but I was also a victim of getting what's called "dry sockets" in ALL 4 of the holes where the wisdom teeth where. So between the basic recovery and that, I was still on Percocet/Vicodin for about 2 weeks afterwards. However I don't remember how soon afterwards I was able to eat real food.

    it's probably not going to be as bad as it was for some of us for you, but it's also probably not going to be as easy as it was for some others.

    just do it. i'm just bitter because i was pretty much tricked into getting it done.

    and you can wait a while. i would wait til christmas break if you're in school, but that's just me. do you have roommates that really care for you? because i wouldn't have survived mine if i lived where i do now (by myself) instead of where i did then (with my parents and fiance).

    Definitely (typically this is not an emergency procedure) Wait until you are around someone whos seen you at your worst. Then, drooling blood all over a pillow when you pass out in front of the tv wont seem so bad. (your roommates may not exactly care if you got a headache or if you feel like you want to cry)
    I've seen both sides of it. I had a pretty quik recovery (2 days before I was back to feeling normal besides some fat gums) and took none of the vicadin (looking back I may ahve really missed out!). But a girl I know had bad bruising on the outside of her face (a la Tommy Boy, "what the hell happend to your face?"). And she had to get fluid drained from her gums from the outside of her cheek. Just keep up on the dry sockets stuff and follow the doctors directionse. Now that you're ready since none of this advice really got anyone anywhere, I think this thread needs to turn to the stupid shit you said when you were coming out of the anisthetic, because I've heard some pretty great stories.

    It is different for everyone, but I couldnt eat for over a week and I was taking vicodin for 2 wks. All mine were partially impacted and had to be cut out. It was probably one of the worst experiences ever.

    I insisted that I really wanted to drive, and I wanted taco bell immediately. Then I went home and passed out.

    Nothing like taco smell right after oral surgery
    I broke away from the girl who was walking me to the recovery room and tried to hug all the nurses and tell them what a bang up job I thought they were doing...they were apparently laughing their asses off (according to my mom) my brother just started singing with all the cotton in his mouth, he said he thought that if he could just sing the whole song that was playing over the speakers he could convince them he was fine to leave...except the song was like some Kenny G new age tune with no words, I mean, it was an oral surgeons office, I don't think they'd be playing limp bizkit.
