People say they feel a lot of pressure when they have their wisdom teeth removed. Is itthe worst part in the whole procedure? And if so, why is it so unpleasant, how does it feel like?

I had all four of mine pulled. No pain they numb the area. fist they use a qtip looking thing to numb so you don't feel when they apply the anesthesia. You are awake and don't feel a thing. However you do hear everything that is going on. You will be fine it is not that bad.

It hurts worse right now, because you are picturing it over and over in your mind. You'll get through it. Make sure you let the whole office know how scared you are. Spread around the info, The office will carry you through the procedure.\nIt can get bad but the dentist is on your side.   Dentist get stressed too so if he knows your scared he will go the extra mile to make you relax.

I am terrified of the dentist... I'm 42!!! I have finally found a way I can get things done.. I get intravenis (sp?) sleep dentistry done...  they stick an IV in my arm.. and, although I'm awake.. I'm only semi-aware that something is being done.. I remember almost nothing of the work... 3-4 hours at a time.. I feel no pain... and even when I wake up and afterward.. the pain is bearable.. it's soooooooo much easier....  it's a little more expensive having to pay for the IV but it's worth it if you have a fear of the dentist... I highly recommend it...  check with local dentists.. not everybody does it.

If you are going to an Oral Surgeon, he may be very involved and thorough with the exam.  He'll do through your medical history, dental exam, do an occlusal analysis, maybe manipulate your jaw, palpate your muscles and maybe use a Doppler.  If your are in pain right now, it may be uncomfortable when you see him/her.  But then again, pain depends on your personal threshold. Set aside maybe an hour of sitting on the dental chair.

nothing to be scared of, they put a mask over your face,  they might even let you hold it if you tell them you want to, you can't really smell anything, they tell you to count backwards from 100...(you probably won't even get to 90)  then you don't even know it and you're asleep. You won't feel anything, you won't know what they're doing, it's like the time doesn't even pass, you won't wake up during surgery, The weird part for me was waking up in a different place than where I went to sleep, I was like "how did they get me in here, they had to pick me up and move me.....wow"  but it was no biggie at all. And it was an hour later than I remembered. But it's ok, you feel no pain at all and you WILL wake up. It's no different than being really tired and relaxed, and just falling to sleep. I had no after effects, from the anesthesia, but was sore from the surgery itself. Don't be scared, it's really fine.

Dizziness and constipation are two side effects ov Vicodin.  Are you taking more than the directions read?  You shouldn't take more than three within a 24 hour period.  If you are in this much pain from having your wisdom teeth removed, from yesterday, you may want to follow up with your dentist ASAP.  There is a condition that CAN happen when you have an extraction called "dry socket" which is VERY painful!!\n\nJust know that wisdom teeth extraction is typically  painful.  It will just take some time, although please keep in mind, don't overdose on the Vicodin.

Its normal to have lots of pain when wisdom teeth  are erupting.  OWWWWWW.   Just like when she was cutting teeth as a baby.

Wisdom tooth is the tooth in the far back of your jaw. i had mine taken out when i was 14 and they were not grown out yet. the sooner they are taken out the less pain. you have to do it sometime and the longer you wait the more pain they'll be. i was bleeding so much and my cheeks were all puffing and i couldn't bite down. So go to the dentist and have them removed before it gets worse!

My mom had this done two years ago.  Her recovery time wasn't that long and she said it wasn't too painful.  It's normal to be scared, but it is a common procedure.  You'll be fine!!  Just enjoy the nice pain killers they'll give you.

I had my two bottom wisdom teeth pulled a while back and if your not in a lot of pain now, its only going to get better. They gave you some Vicodin right? just take that until you feel like you can be OK without them. After like three days you should be able to eat normal food again. If you have any concerns about it, all you have to do is call up your dentist and ask them about it. they will gladly help ya.

It really hurt when I had mine done and I went through a lot of pain meds and it was for a good cause.Don't be afraid to ask for more and be sure to clean your mouth everytime you eat so it don't get infected.Also drink lots of water,when your mouth hurts you tend to dehydrate from lack of wanting anything in there also the meds will dry you out.

Before I answer your question I just want to state that I am a Dental Technologist not a Dentist. Dental Technologists only make dental prosthesis with a prescription from a Dentist and we do not give out medical advice.  Thus, any comments I make are just personal thoughts and should not be taken as medical advice. So GO TO YOUR DENTIST!!!!!\n\nNow to answer your question, personally I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time and they were impacted. For me I was in bed for a couple of days because of the teeth being impacted. But since your teeth are not impacted you “should” be fine the same or next day. The difference is simple; when a tooth is impacted it means it is growing into the roots of the tooth next to it. So in the surgery the surgeon has to cut into your gums and drill the bone deep enough to remove the tooth. But when the tooth is not impacted and growing straight up, it can be pulled out. So there will be less damage to the bone. Sometimes the surgeon would have to do some minor grinding if there is a problem with the wisdom tooth’s roots (thus, you “should” be fine).\n\nSide note, the pain killers you get are great, you will be so happy not scared at the time of surgery so don’t worry about it now.\n\nHope that helped

I had a bunch of rooth canals done,it was not that bad really did not hurt durring and after(the only thing that hurt a little was my jaw from holding it open  for so long).\n\nI had part one of my crown done(meaning tthe dentist cut my thooth put a metal stick in it and popped a temparry thooth in it.That(cutting off the thooth)felt very uncomfi to lilttle pain.after it was done it was all worst it.(smile)\n\nnow next week i have a big thing going on i will get my wisdom theeth pulled plus i will get a minor operation(my dentist will cut and go in and cut one rooth away were the infection will not go away) and then i will be stitched up.\n\nmy dentist is the best(i`m a old dentist scary cat ).\nI don`t know why i`m always scared to go to the dentist ,because after everything it was never that bad.\n\nMy dentist does good work is friendly always explains what he does before he does it,and takes his time to do so.\n\n(i went one time to another dentist,because mine was on vaction,he just stared up the work i did not know what was going on i hated that dentist.)\n\noverall i would have done everything again just sooner,because now i know the longer you wait the more work you have to get done.

im not sure the costs, but they pull the wisdom teeth because they may grow and move and disrupt your other teeth. it will give you headaches, and tooth pain. most people usually always get them removed.

I know how you feel.  i've never had any wisdom teeth pulled...but everytime I open my mouth more than half way it pops.  pop pop pop pop etc.  I can do it over and over and over and over again.  It doesn't hurt, but it is annoying because it is loud and I just want to open my mouth like a normal person.  I never asked if it was normal or not...but as long as it doesn't hurt i'm sure it's fine.  Mine is so loud other people can hear it when i open my mouth up too far...if you find out what causes it let me know!  (i don't go to dentists cuz i don't have insurance)

normal side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, minor bleeding.  Just make sure you follow the surgeons instructions on after care or you could develop a painful condition called dry socket.  When you are being put under you'll just feel sleepy.  It happens really fast.

I feel it like the whole DAY after I go to the dentist!  I hate when they floss for you and like dig way deep in your gums, that hurts so bad.  It's like "Thanks, I know how to floss."\n\nI wouldn't be worried.  If it lasts more than a day, call your dentist and tell them your concerns.
