or anything dental? Was it under local or general? and how long did it take to recover?
Oh I almost forgot to mention that there was a cat in a tree across the street staring at me during the procedure which was again.. odd; Anyway that's my story.
Then I remember going home and sleeping for pretty much the rest of the day.
I see all kinds of stories of people getting knocked out, waking up from anesthesia and being miserable throughout the whole thing. I laugh at those stories a bit, because for me, it wasn't so bad.
Removing these to suddenly provokes an anaphilactic shock which sometimes kill...
Be courageous
Asian people whom jaw is smaller doesn't have this problem as they don't sometimes have these teeth!
And about what I said about death because of shock, it was real but a long time before. We doen't have this problem nowadays.
I had them do local anesthesia with novacaine and a conscious sedation through an I.V. and it was a lot easier then people said it would be. A lot of people get really sick because of the anesthesia but the only side effect I had was that my memory of waking up and getting home is really foggy and my face was really numb.
As for the recovery...I'm really sensitive to novacaine (when they give it to me for cavities my face goes numb for about five hours afterwards) so because they used a lot more for the extraction my face and tongue were completely numb for eleven hours after the procedure. Because of that...I didn't really feel any pain until the next day. (It also helped that I was exhausted afterwards and slept through the entire day.)
Once the numbness wore off I had to keep taking the pain pills they prescribed me every six hours...as soon as I was allowed to. It wasn't like the pain was excruciating but it was really annoying - like a throbbing headache in your mouth that didn't go away. Because it was a weird throbbing kind of pain that went from my jaw to my ears and I also had a foul taste in my mouth no matter what I did we were all pretty worried that I had dry sockets. Regular salt water rinses helped to make sure they didn't develop until I was able to brush my teeth again to keep them as clean as possible. In the end, I didn't have them so I healed up just fine.
It sucks...horribly sucks...to not be able to eat solid foods. On the third day I thought I'd try spaghetti. That's soft right? Thought I'd be ok right? Nope. It hurt. Like a stabbing kind of hurt. I didn't get to eat any solid foods until just yesterday actually - the fifth day. When I ate today it still hurt a little but it's not bad enough I can't deal with it. So yeah...Jellos, puddings, ice creams and smoothies will be your best friends when you get your teeth out. Stuff like applesauce is good too. Drink a lot of water and make sure to take all of your antibiotics and pain pills if needed...But stay away from straws and smoking (if you smoke). Apparently the sucking motion can cause dry sockets...Anyways...this is really long and I'm sorry if it's not helpful but good luck!
