I managed to lose all my wisdom in less than an hour

Yes it's a sad, sad day. The doctor decided to pull all 4 of my wisdom teeth while I wasn't looking and here I am making this topic with a mouth full of blood and gauze. Being put to sleep is actually kind of nice when they do this kind of thing. Right before they gassed me I asked the nurse if I would wake up half way through, she said the doctor would make sure that didn't happen. What a relief that was. My throat is soar from the breathing tube and I can feel the spots where they stuck my full of anesthetic. I've never been treated in a hospital/operated on until now, kind of a neat experience.

Any OTers have or have to get their wisdom teeth pulled? If so share your experience with all of us so the rest of you can hope you never get yours done.

I've had 3 wisdom teeth pulled at once. I was awake for it. All I can remember now is the exquisite pain sensed from afar, the tremendous pressure, the sound of teeth creaking in bone as they were slowly unmoored from their homes, the smell of bone burning as they cut away small pieces of my jaw to make it relinquish my teeth, and the week-long recovery afterward.

Worse pain of my life. And this includes a clavical that was broken twice.

I went in thinking I would just get them looked at and the dentist was like "oh no." Got all of them pulled that day, the bottom two were so decayed that they had to drill them into quarters and pick them out piece at a time. Also had somewhere in the range of twenty novacaine shots and the dentist's first drilling began before it had completely set in. I stopped him of course but my god did it hurt. I had to have them all two or three of them stuffed cuz they left huge holes in my gums. I ate some mashed potatoes back home and they were too hot and I burned my gum holes. Thank heaven for vicodin.

When I went to get the gauze removed and a check up I had slight dry socket in one gum hole. It took a while but I fully recovered and am really happy to have them out. The bottom teeth both had exposed nerves and I had been living on anbesol for months.

I love surgery, you get legally HIGH

Had all 4 pulled with local anesthesia (in Central America), the dentist warned me of an acute "pressure" when extracting them, when I started crying from the pain after the first tooth the dentist had to pause and re-inject my gums to make sure the anesthesia was working. On the upside I didn't get the chipmunk cheeks most get :)

Local anasthesia would have been fine to. No point in sleeping through that. It's not that painful. I've had 6 teeth pulled with local, didn't feel a thing.

I lost my virginity in less than an hour.

When i got mine pulled the anasthetic wore off before I could pick up my presciption medicine....That hurt :(

If i ever need it, i will knock myself out rather then have them touch me when im awake.

My wisdom teeth haven't came through yet but x-rays show that they are there, how long does it usually take
