I haven't seen a dentist for like a year and a half and my wisdom teeth are about 1/2 in, this is not motivating me at all.

Krantz: Motrin is my pain killer of choice

This morning I had a root canal but it wasnt so bad. Then again, I am super tuff and I have a leather jacket. You can learn a lot from me if you study hard.

Step 1: Buy a leather jacket.
Step 2: Be tougher because of it.
Step 3: Drink lots of cold water. Not sure why, but cold water going down the food tube makes it feel better, at least while you're drinking it.

I had 7 wisdom teeth removed - anyone beat that?

fwiw I had virtually no recovery period at all. I wanted to go out that night, but my mom wouldn't let me.

I had mine out (4) on August 14th. I felt pain on the first day, after that it was pretty mild and not too big a deal.

I will say, the best meal I have had in a long time was the first meal of solid food (about 4 days after the surgery). Only spaghetti, but food has never tasted so damn good. you've got that to look forward to.

Sucks to be you. I had no pain with mine (all 4 at once).

I had mine out when I was 15. First day sucked, because it was really hard to swallow the Vicodin horse pills they gave me.

The Vicodin made me hallucinate though, so that was cool.

Big-ass sleeping pills.

Knock you out like a [censored].

clove packets. Your mouth will taste like, well, cloves but the pain goes bye bye

That's why you should go asap, I am in the same situation as you (but I still see my dentist). You risk getting an infection and besides, if they're in, it's not that bad, he just as to slice up the gums a bit. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
