Moronic Teeth

I started losing the real teeth about four years ago and that really hurts the old jaw and the ego. Good luck getting over the wisdom teeth deal!

After having them removed, I feel like a bumbling idiot because the right side of my lower jaw is TOTALLY numb and I can't speak normally.

My sister and I both had wisdom teeth out on the same day many years ago, and spent the ride home laughing at each other's inability to speack and subsequently drooling all over ourselves, resulting in an unending laugh/drool cycle.

I tried to find the scene from the move "10" where Dudley Moore has just returned from the dentist and can't speak properly when Julie Andrews' character calls, prompting a hilarious visit from the police. If anyone can find it, please post.

Ice, Ice, baby! I hope they gave you the neat-o ice pack with velcro that wraps around your jaw...10 minutes on and 10 minutes off, until you can't take it anymore. I swear it will help with swelling and a little bit of pain control.

Hang in there...it gets better.

No cool ice pack... I've been using frozen peas. :roll:

I still have all four of my wisdom teeth.

Yep got a story for you. Had all 4 of mine out at 18, summer after I graduated from HS.

Dr. said I could go back to the work the next day, did not bother to tell him I was a lifeguard....:roll:

Went back the next day and it was about 100 in the shade and proceeded to faint and luckily fell in the grass around the pool area and not the concrete or in the pool.

My only wisdom tooth story is I am part of the evolutionary process. I was born with NO wisdom teeth! Woo hoo!

I'm INCREDIBLY jealous!

I only had three, but of course I ended up with dry socket somewhere. Bleh.

This too shall pass. Yes, it sucks. Time to pull out all the rully good movies and enjoy your popsicles.

Oh I'm sorry. Really, don't feel left out tho. I have never met one other person who was born w/o. It's actually kinda weird.

I would do the ice too and hopefully you can take ibuprofen. Just remember, the pain won't last forever!

Ibuprofen? Bah, humbug! Hit the doctor up for some really good drugs! Darvocet? Vicodin? Lorotab? C'mon, get happy!

Isn't she in high school?

I was in High School. I graduated about a week and a half ago. But they have me on Vicodin. I'm totally thankful.

Ummm...I don't think there's a legal age for prescription drugs. They gave me darvocet when I had mine out (I was 17.)

My gauze packs fell out while I was driving home and I started spewing blood out of the driver's side window going down I-85. I smoked cigarettes through my nose for 2 weeks (I have since quit smoking entirely through nostrils or mouth). I am sorry for you, but on the plus side you probably look funny to your friends and can bring them joy and mirth.

Kase, if you start smoking through your nose, I want pictures. I don't care if you don't smoke--you should at least try this.

(First I encouraged you to enjoy prescription drugs, now I'm encouraging you to smoke. I'm a bad, bad adult. )

Hah!! Yeah right. I'm staying locked inside my house I'm til I've gone back to my normal facial size.

And I totally ignored the gauze packs all together. There's something about having blood-soaked cotton in my mouth that just grosses me out to the point that i can't even think about it. I had them in long enough to get out of the surgery center, and then they were gone.

I didn't know smoking COULD happen through the nose. Weird. I don't think I'd even know how to go about trying it.

And you're the baddest a$$ adult that I know!!!! That's why I you!!!

My son is scheduled to have all 4 of his removed next Friday. The doctor told him that they would give him some good drugs when it was over. Kase did they put you to sleep? Jesse is more nervous of being put under than anything else. I hope you feel better soon. Let me know what works for you and what doesn't.

Thankfully I only had 2 wisdom teeth on the top. None on the bottom. My sister was with me when I had mine out. They used sodium penathol on me and when I woke up I was crying, sobing actually and had no idea why. I asked the surgeon and my sister why I was crying, she told me that sodium penathol usually makes women cry, and men laugh for no reason. Who knew?

Anyway, feel better soon!!!!!

Staying awake wasn't bad 'til the doc shattered one of the teeth and had to get medieval on my *** to finish the extraction, you mainly just feel the tugging which is only disconcerting. Sodium Pentathol? Did they put you under a heat lamp and try to get you to confess?

No cool ice pack... I've been using frozen peas. :roll:

Got duct tape?

I will now bore you with my story (I know I have told it before)

Had all four of my impacted wisdom teeth out the summer after freshman year in college. My best friend was the oral surgeon's assistant and tried to make me watch with a mirror while he plucked the teeth out of my gum. All I got was novocain. She drove me home and told my mom to feed me steak that night. Then, she came over the next day and dragged me out to the tennis court. I am not so sure she was still my bf at this point.

it's a much easier extraction when the 3rd molars have erupted. it's when they are impacted, that's when the oral surgeon is referred.

feel better soon kase.

I need to have mine removed, got braces as a kid prior to the remove them before braces philosophy was adopted. So now there's about $10,000 moving around randomly in my mouth. Need to bite the bullet and do it, but not looking forward to it.

Hope you feel better.

This is exactly why Jesse is having his removed. Just got his braces off and the WT are coming in sideways, that would for sure put that $4K right down the drain.
