Wisdom teeth?

I have had my teeth extracted before for braces but I believe i have to extract my wisdom teeth soon. I had a specialist come in and when he extracted my regular teeth all i felt was pressure and no pain at all and it took about two minutes each tooth. I was wondering if anyone remember if their wisdom teeth extraction pain DURING surgery or their wisdom teeth extraction experience do you remember how it felt ? Did it feel like a normal extraction? I might not be sleeping during this procedure. trying to compare normal teeth extraction(pain free for me just pressure) and wisdom teeth extraction(soon to have)

Wisdom teeth?
They generally put you to sleep (general anesthesia) to extract wisdom teeth because it%26#039;s more complicated than just pulling a molar (depending on how they have grown in)--so you shouldn%26#039;t feel anything during the operation. I was a little nervous before and sore afterward (when I wasn%26#039;t doped up on pain meds), but it%26#039;s not something to be afraid of. Good luck!
Reply:You should really be put under anesthesia for this procedure. It is more painful than normal tooth extractions, and it is actually a pretty serious operation. I was put under, and after I woke up it was very painful, so I can just imagine what it would feel like if you were kept awake during the procedure. Just take your pain medications and ice your cheeks (so they don%26#039;t swell), eat soft foods so your stitches don%26#039;t break, etc. and it will be okay.
Reply:Wisdom teeth are alot less painful because the root is not always fully grown. At least that is what the dentist told me. I went to work the same day, the pain killers helped.
Reply:alright, this all depends on the position of your teeth. i am not gonna lie when i got it done it hurt. I was not asleep. You can be asleep if you choose so. Depending on ow far up your tooth is, that measues your pain. If your tooth is way down there than you might have to get a chunk of your gum taken off. Normally the typical difference between a wisdom teeth extraction and a normal one is that you can be asleep and you do get stitches. Most of the time they are liquid stitches and will eventually dissolve. hopefully your wisdom teeth aren%26#039;t impacted or Maybe for you it won%26#039;t be bad. I hope this helps.
Reply:There is a misconception that removal of wisdom teeth is more painful than other teeth. If a wisdom tooth has grown into its correct position and has to be removed due to excessive decay then the tooth can be numbed up like any other tooth and removed without any pain whatsoever.





The pain that people associate with wisdom teeth removal is when the teeth do not erupt correctly and are firmly fixed within the bone of the jaw. Some bone has to be removed in order to get the wisdom tooth out and as a result of this bone removal process you get swelling and discomfort after the procedure, not during.
Reply:they generally put you to sleep to extract your wisdom teeth. they are big teeth, that typically are VERY deep, so they do hurt alot afterwards from what i hear.





im scheduled to get 4 out in two days.... ouch!
Reply:I couldnt afford to go to hospital to get them taken out, so had it done in the chair half conscious. I was very sleepy, but it was sooo sore afterwards! I could not even begin to imagine how painful it would be without anesthetic (excuse the spelling!) Its very different from a normal extraction. They have to make incisions into the gum to get the teeth out and then give you stitches.


Also i couldnt take the painkillers they gave me for recovery because i found out i was allergic to the coedine which was in them. Not a fun way to find out! Would not wish it on anyone!!
Reply:Well, I%26#039;m getting them done today.





I%26#039;m so scared.





But I read this blog





It%26#039;s a really vivid description of when he got his wisdom teeth taken out.


You should read it. it%26#039;s actually pretty funny. On the downside I%26#039;m even more scared of the pain to come...
