Yes you can go under general anesthesia..but usually that's only givin during extractions and/or dental surgery\n\nif it's only a regular appointment (drilling, filling..etc) I'm not sure if a dentist will permit that esp. that some procedures require the patient's cooperation\n\nask ur dentist to give u a sedative..that may help

All depends on the difficulity of the extractions. You cant predict one persons healing time or process. Everybody is different. The healthier one self is, the faster the healing. \nOn average, without problems.. average person can be from 1-2 weeks. By 2 weeks definately the swelling should be gone. Until then, i wouldnt freak out just yet. The soreness, will depend on you! You cant strain your mouth, by opening wide or chewing things that are hard and such. This will strain your mouth and jaw, which has just gone through 'tramua'. It takes time, to heal. \nBe patient... your well into your recovery... things will be better soon.

i just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and it wasn't so bad.  i had iv sedation too, i think that is the only way to go.  i was talking and telling them about a trip i went on and the next thing i knew they woke me up.  i must have just fallen asleep right away.  you will feel the needle from the shot, but its only a pinch and will go away right away.  when i woke up i felt like i was drunk, but was ok.  after an hour or so the sedation starts to wear off and you need to take pain killers.  to be honest it did hurt like hell the first day, just take some medicine get an ice pack and go to sleep and you won't feel the pain.  it will hurt for a few days, just keep taking pain medicine and relaxing by your 4th day you should be all good.\n\ni heard that if you tell your doctor you are affraid they might be able to give you a Volume pill before you go in for the surgery to help you calm yourself down.\n\ndon't cancel it, you need to get it done and if you wait it will be even worse.  its good to do it at once because if you do only part you will have to go back and endure the same thing again.  don't do that!\n\nyou will be fine, just relax and get it done with.

Having a wisdom tooth extracted is not always a painful experience.  It depends on the tooth itself and the skill of your dentist.\n\nThe best thing to do is to tell your dentist that you don't want to have to endure a lot of pain and ask them to write a prescription for you for post-extraction discomfort.  \n\nSleeping when you get home is the best thing you can do.  They will probably tell you not to eat or drink anything for a certain time period.  That's because the empty socket needs to form a blood clot and you definitely don't want that to come out because it protects the tissues and nerve where the tooth used to be.  For that reason you also don't want to lift anything for 24 hours after the extraction either as that could pop the clot out.\n\nA hot water bottle on your cheek may help as it will increase blood flow to the area.  I don't recommend a heating pad as you will probably fall asleep and that could be dangerous.\n\nJust remember it will steadily get better.  Sleep or distract yourself and you will be fine.

Take some tylenol or ibuprofen. Yes, if u have wisdom teeth coming in u will have pain in ur jaw and possibly in ur sinuses maybe headaches too. U will need to see a dentist.

i also had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. the rest of the teeth will not move back. which is a good thing..otherwise you would have huge spaces between all of your teeth. the sunk in spot in the gums where the tooth was pulled from,will fill in with tissue and skin. hope this helps.

Why remove a wisdom tooth?\n\nhttp://www.members.aol.com/swf08302/wizdk.jpg shows one reason.  This is what can happen by the time you are 40 or 50 if you leave a wisdom tooth in place when it is impacted.  The red arrows on the x-ray show the grey area that has decayed due to the wisdom tooth being present under the gum.  The tooth shown is the exact same tooth shown in the x-ray, but turned so you can see the cavity.  Food and bacteria can get down there and you can't clean it out.  Eventually, it makes a cavity in the tooth next to the wisdom tooth and makes it so you have to have BOTH teeth removed.

Get it out!!! Oh I totally feel for you and know exactly what you are saying. I am a dental assistant and I work in a dental office, however the doctors in my office did not want to remove my wisdom teeth because of the way they sat in relation to the nerves, etc. I waited it out, forever in so much pain before I finally saw an oral surgeon, who specifically deal with extractions opposed to general dentists. He did a great job, and no after effects, and all the pain is gone! I strongly advise you to get in there and get them out. They always warn you about the risks, they have to, but not to worry. You will be in good hands. Good luck!!!

It is most likely the stitches. My stitch fell out the day after I had my first wisdom tooth pulled and I called the dentist and he had me come back in to check it and said that I didn't need it. Do call them and have them check it for you.

If you did not get the dentures placed right after the extractions, you would have to wait awhile to have dentures placed. Most dental offices will have an "immediate" denture made for you when you are having full mouth extractions.  These are temporary dentures that you wear for a year or so while your mouth heals from the extractions.  Bone & gums have to heal, so there is a lot of changes that happen to the mouth after that many extractions. Eventually, you have a more permanent denture made.  Good luck

Go to the dentist!  a wisdom tooth could cause an infection that could make you very very ill.  A dentist will only charge you a couple hundred $'s for extraction and if you tell them ahead of time, they will take payments.\n\nYou could find a dental school in your area, they may do it for a fraction of the cost, but you are getting people who have no experience, and the pain level could be worse.

When I had my wisdom teeth out, I had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed at once. It was horrible! I am allergic to all kinds of prescription pain meds. I told the surgeon that and he gave me one that made me throw up two days after the surgery, which made the pain in my mouth worse (from the stomach acid hitting the wounds in my mouth.)\n\nI found Advil Liquigels to be the only thing that helped me. (That stuff is a Godsend!) I took 4 Advil Liquigels (which equals I prescription strength ibuprofen) every 6 hours on a full stomach. I also applied heat and ice alternatively to my face. It made being awake bearable. LOL.\n\nGood luck and I hope you feel better!

About 5.  Plan to take the pain medicine as recommended, and when you get home, pack your face in cold packs or ice bags.  The pain will not be as intense if you prevent excessive swelling.\n\nA woman I work with just had one wisdom tooth extracted, and was back to work the next day.\n\nAdditionally, your fingertips provide a natural form of pain relief for most parts of your body.  When you need some relief, firmly grip and pinch one of your fingertips.  If it doesn't provide relief, try another, until you locate the fingertip that relieves your pain.  Then, use that as a drug-free pain reliever.

Smarts!  Get it?  Wisdom teeth?  Smarts?  Oh...never mind!\n\nMany people's wisdom teeth don't really "come in", if you have pain--see your dentist.  Did your dentist ever mention whether or not you have room for these teeth?  If you do then that's great....but they will be sore whilst growing in.\n\nGood luck....sorry about my joke earlier.
