Wow, your mum sounds a bit harsh to me, especially making you pay......I'm not sure that she actually will make you though, getting fillings and stuff can be pretty expensive, so unless she gives you a LOT of pocket money, she'll have to pay for at least some of it herself.\n\nI don't know if you'll need the tooth pulled sweetheart, because I don't know how bad it is. If the tooth is very badly decayed (rotten) then it might not be able to be fixed I'm afraid and then it would need to be pulled out. But try not to worry too much about it, no-one except the dentist can tell if it will need to be pulled out, not even your mum!\n\nI don't know what pills your mum gave you, but if she gave you paracetamol you can take some ibuprofen as well which might help. You could also get some hot water and dissolve some salt in it, then rinse your mouth with it a few times, that's helped me when I've had toothache. I hope you feel better sweetheart, and well done for telling your mum.

Try an oral surgeon.  They regurarly use IV sedation to assist patients in extraction - expect it to be costly.

If you owe your oral surgeon money, (s)he is within her/his rights not to release them.  \n\nIf you have settled your account, you are the owner of your medical records.  You should seek the advice of an attorney, or call one of the "Action News" teams that specializes in stories like this.  Generally, when the news crew shows up to film the story, the Oral surgeon will have a change of heart.

Might give you meds, but if it's a wisom tooth the doc'll x-ray it to see how it is coming in, if it's straight , just meds, if it's coming in crooked they'll want it removed.

You should only take what your surgeon prescribes for you! Taking medication that is not prescribed for you can be extrememly dangerous.

If your dentist refers you to an oral surgeon, then that is what you should do.\n\nThere are dentists who will knock you out to pull your wisdom teeth.\n\nIt really depends how deeply impacted your wisdom teeth are. i had it done while awake and I recommend serious drugs or twilight sleep because it was a TERRIBLE ordeal for me. They had to break my teeth before they could get them out. Dentists will refer you to an oral surgeon if your wisdom teeth are seriously impacted.

That is such a major surgery that i would be carefull taking any advice from the internet. It's not the common cold question. you should ask your physician who will probably make that determination based on your individual case. People heal at different rates. It probably wouldn't be wise to base your actions on someone elses experience. Especially not knowing their health background and such. I'm sure if you called your doctor tomorrow then he/she will be able to tell you.

Oral surgeons usually just sedate you. They don't do general anesthesia like a major surgery. You won't remember anything but you will need a ride home and someone to keep an eye on you all day. You also won't have to have a tube down your throat or anything like that when you are sedated. If you are having all four wisdom teeth out and if they are impacted, I would take the sedation. If they are all erupted, you could go for the local anesthetic. Just remember, you will have about 10 or 12 injections in your mouth to get you numb. So if you are afraid of needles, you should go the sedation route. That way, you get one in your arm for your IV and then they will numb your mouth up once you are asleep. Also, even though you are numb when you are awake, there are a lot of strange noises and A LOT of pressure. If I were you, I would take the sedation. Your surgeon should have discussed this with you at your consult.

you poor thing!\n\n  Over the counter pain relievers, especially those with anti inflammitory properties, such as ibuprophen, taken at the maximum allowable dose for you .(depending on age and weight). Most adults can safely take 400mg total ibuprophen every 6 hours. \n\n Seek a second opinion. Most oral surgeons will remove them long before they are ready to come through. Unless of course, the wisdom teeth are not yet fully developed. Some dentist will not remove wisdom teeth if the root on it is not fully developed. \n\n  I would definately get a second opinion on removal if they are hurting you. \n\nfeel better soon!

Talk to your doctor and to your dentist and see what they have to say. I would probably say it's okay (except for the painkillers, possible), but to be on the safe side, TALK TO YOUR DENTIST AND YOUR DOCTOR!

Many people will have the procedure done on a Friday and then they are fine to return to work the following Monday.  The pain you experience is going to depend on your tolerence level.  For me, I would rate it a 2.  It was more annoying than painful.  Just make sure to follow the post-operative instructions your dentist gives you to help minimize your pain and discomfort.  Do not smoke, drink through a straw, spit forcefully or fiddle with the areas with your tongue as any of these actions could disrupt the blood clot and cause a dry socket.... you absolutely do not want that to happen as it is not uncommon for a dry socket to be more painful than a toothache.  Try to avoid talking as much as possible for the first 24 hours.  Avoid things with citric acid such as orange juice and tomato soup for a couple of days.  Eat soft foods such as scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes for the first couple of days and then begin eating foods as you feel you can.  You should do fine... don't worry :) Oh, and the actual procedure itself will probably take no more than about 30 minutes.
