sarah, I went through a similar op when I was 13, my lower wisdom teeth were both horizontal, and because I was so young I had to loose 2 teeth either side that were on top, didn't take too long to heal to be honest.

It's just mega important to keep the wounds clean, hard but makes all the difference.

I can't see if your nerve is close to the site or not? Did he talk about it?

Matt Evans

I gotta have an impacted wisdom tooth out on the 13th Nov. Mines at a 45 degree angle, but the roots are pressing into the big nerve which runs down the side of my jaw face etc.

Hes told me that because the nerve will be bruised once the tooth is removed, i may have "temporary paralysis on the cheek and tounge for a couple of weeks!"

Marvelous. so i'll be dribbling like the elephant man so it seems!

Wisdom teeth are a right nightmare tbh. Never really had trouble with my teeth either and im 34 now!

The whole operation doesnt sound too pleasant Sarah Good thing is you wont know anything about it until you wake up Good luck and try not to worry too much

holy shit. that sounds awful. my bottom wisdom teeth are coming in horizontalish and m dentist alays says they'll have to come out some day. i HATE hospitals etc and the thought of an op makes me

Dicko&Vacant

iTrader: (3)

He did and said it runs along the side of it and it could be bruised when taking the tooth out, but its a very minor risk and that it would result in the tongue and bottom lip being numb temporarily.

Matt - i think its quite common tbh, but if it stops infection as long as its not permanent then ill suffer

Im not scared about getting it done as at least ill be asleep

Azrael

Did want to start a new thread. They are removing another one - this time botom right in the morning 9AM. Keep fingers crossed for me as it's completlymissaligned again and will need a lot of cutting up to get to it. <- real tears

Matt Evans

Hope it goes well mate. Let us know how you get on?

Azrael

I'm back home after the procedure, went better then last time, I already had my double dose of small blue pills, the anethesis is wearing off and the pain is coming....

Matt Evans

Fook me, they give you viagra for the pain!

Result!

I had my upper and lower wisdom teeth removed from the r/h side last month under a general and was absouloutly shittin it before, but i can safely say the OP went fine and now ive healed up nicely, my piece of advice is to keep your wounds clean i swilled with salt water all the time, not nice but does help. and my second piece of advice is to try and eat !! i felt terrible like i was dying for the first couple of days and worked outwhy, it was the antibiotics & painkillers. They advise to take with a meal, which is what i did, but i started to feel unwell (not pain) just unwell after about two hours of taking the tablets, i worked out if i eat again the unwellness would go away. Im not saying this will effect everyone in the same way but it took me days to work out why i felt so unwell,

On a side note i was eating proper food again after about 5-6 days and was healing up nicely but them friggin disolvable stich's took weeks to dissapear, i was forever twiddling them with me tongue tryin to get them out, in the end i asked my mate with a steady hand and a pair of scissors to give them a snip and they just fell out lol...

My surgeon is so nice she's coming to work tommorow to change the dressing of the wound etc. But then I am paying and she's the owner of the clinic.

Dicko&Vacant

iTrader: (3)

how do they put a dressing on How does your mouth feel are you ok?

Azrael

(sorry for my inadequate wording of this, I feel my english concerning dental surgery is a bit lacking )

There is some stuff that is insde the wound pushed through small opning between the stiches, they pull it out gently and put another one, also they push some antiseptic medicine inside that dissolves over time and tastes and smells like farmacy but prevents infecion. The dressing change (at least as it was with my other side) was more painfull then the op itself as this is almost painless, but it wasn't too bad either.

At the moment I am on strong painkillers so I am a bit numb, the jaw hurt but not too badly if I don't try to move it. This time there is no damage to nerves so I feel my tongue (last time I had some problems with the tongue for several days).

doesnt sound too bad thanks for letting me know, ill be on with hamster face pics next week no doubt, do you have any bad bruising or swelling?

Sarah

Azrael

I am swollen big time. Not AS bad as the last time (the op went much better from what I could see and feel), but I am swollen even to the back arround the ear.

I am just having my first yogurt

Dicko&Vacant

iTrader: (3)

any pics of how swollen? im just hoping im in a fit state to go out for our first anniversary and not look like ive been attacked

Sarah

Azrael

If it's gonna be a week you should be fine. Talk to your doctors what they reccomend for swelling too.


EDIT: managed some pasta and tomato souce, I'm gonna be fine. Hurts as hell afterward tough

Matt Evans

Azrael

IT would be better if you put some ice on it if it's swelling badly. Just do it, It helps - I know my wisdom teeth removals (<- real tears).

I've jyst come back home from the doctors. She pulled some stuff out, put some new stuff in and told me to show up on wednesday. It hurt lke hell after putting stuff in but I had my small blue pill and it's getting better I feel MUCH better then last time anyway.

Ihope you won't be as bad, but prepare to yoghurt and water diet Hot things may be not the best for a while, cold is good, maybe ice cream with a small spoon?

cant sleep as in pain so decided might as well get up, just took more painkillers and now watching celeb scissorhands. Right hand side of face is pretty swollen gonna get an ice pack on it as its really hurting. Naively didnt think it would hurt this much tbh, defo on par with the last op i had

Had some ice cream last night which felt relieving tbh, will get some more into me today i think.
