Might Need Teeth Pulled -- What to Expect? Posted: 04-03-06 14:10pm
Here's my situation. The bottom molar
teeth on both ends of my mouth have grown
in at a 45 degree angle. My dentist has
been hounding me for years to get them
pulled, but like any coward, i've managed
to avoid it thus far.
Now i'm seriously considering it, and I
just want to know what the procedure is
like and how long the recovery period
might be. Also, what restrictions will I
have during the recovery? Will I have to
avoid eating altogether?

I had all of my wisdom teeth taken out
about 18 months ago. I was nervous about
it, but the whole thing went great! I had
iv sedation - that was excellent. No
probs and thanks to the hypnoval it felt
like it took about 10 minutes! I was a
bit swollen for about 3 days after, but
felt fine. Developed a buccal-space
abcess, but that didn't hurt, it just made
me swell up again on one side. It took
care of itself after about 24 hours.
The whole thing was fine, i'd do it again
if I had to!
Just say yes to drugs!
