4 wisdom teeth need to come out :(

[boomba]

I havent had mine out, but dh did a couple of years ago! he had 2 compacted and 2 normal, so he had to have a full anathestic!
dh slept sitting for a week and regularly changed ice packs! he had no bruising at all! i cant say you will be fine, cause i know he was in some mega pain!!! sorry!
so all i can say is good luck and i know it would be super uncomfy but sleep as upright as you can for at least a week!!!!
good luck!

I also need to have mine taken out...
The best way to have it done is under a GA - better recovery time. I can recomend a FANTASTIC dental surgeon who has rooms in the city as well as Hawthorn. He operates out of a couple of hospitals but the only one I can remember off the top of my head is La Trobe in Bundoora.
If you get your teeth done under a GA it is usually a day proceedure stay.

HTH and good luck. Try not to focus on the negatives too much - if you need it done, the pain of the tooth extraction will be much less than the pain that could potentially happen from the teeth.

Hi
I actually had a suprising getting one of mine out (top left hand one). I was driving to work about 4 months ago now and something felt hard in my mouth like there was a rock in my mouth. When I spat it out it was a piece of rotting tooth. Didnt hurt but I rang and booked into a dentist that morning. Went there and they wouldnt xray cos I am pregnant. Dentist took one look at it and said "yeh that has to come out". I was thinking oh craps another hospital stay cos u only hear about people having them out and terrible horror stories cos its not pleasant at all. Anyway he tells me no I can take it out now. He gave me a needle that didnt hurt at all and just yanked it out. All done in about 7 minutes. I was amazed. Obviously mine wasnt compacted and was pretty straight foward but it was growing towards my cheek not down like normal teeth do hense the reason I had problems brushing it and why it was rotten. My left bottom had to have a filling right after I had Leah cos it had a hole in it the size of my head almost. That dentist hurt but could be cos the hole was soooooo big.

Sorry if this doesnt relate to your wisdom teeth but I thought Id tell u about a positive story.
