Wisdom Teeth Tommorrow!?

Question

I am gonna be awake and on gas and novacain. How bad is it really? I am really nervous. I am getting all four out. My top came in fine. My lower ones are impacted but not in the bone. He said he would section them. How bad is it??? I drank pineapple juice before the 12 hour countdown and I hope it decreases the swelling. What happens from the time I get into the chair and the time I get out??? I can't remember gas real well but will I feel it? What will I feel?

Answer 1

My dentist and I call gas space gas because it makes me feel like I am floating around.  I couldn't tell you what it will be like, because I was fully sedated when I had mine cut out.  Good luck though.  Think good thoughts.

Answer 4

I had my wisdom teeth taken out with gas & numbing shots, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  I had two done at a time, though.  Left ones, then right ones, so that I'd still have 1/2 my mouth to chew with.

Basically, they gave me the gas, and I was pretty relaxed after a few minutes.  Didn't hardly even notice the shots.  As the procedure continued, I became more and more detached, like I was just watching a movie about what was happening.  There wasn't any pain, but I could feel some pressure from time to time, and hear stuff being cut/ground, etc.  I think one of my teeth had to be cut in half.

For me, it was easier than having a filling, because they don't give you the gas for a filling!

Afterward, they gave me some milder pain killer (maybe Tylenol 3 or Motrin?) and a prescription for some slightly more powerful pain killer, but I was feeling okay so didn't get it filled.  I went home and slept all afternoon, and was feeling fine maybe 5 hours after the procedure.  I had to be careful eating until the stitches were out, but otherwise was able to carry on as normal.

One word of caution -- if you're a smoker, DON'T smoke after the procedure.  There's a condition called "dry sockets," where the area of the extraction somehow becomes severely inflamed.  Some have said it's as painful as childbirth.  Smoking is known to cause or contribute to this.  

I'm sure everything will go fine, so just relax and go with the flow.  Best of luck!

The best thing you can do is calm down! If you let your nerves take over it will be a lot scarier! It is just like getting a cavity filled- quick and painless! I'm guessing it will be about 10-15 minutes per tooth, so you will be in and out of the chair with in one hour! It is not bad at all.You sit down in the chair, and the doctor gives you a gas mask. Then he turns on the gas and leaves the room for about 5 minutes.  When he comes back you will feel like you are floating in space! He will poke your jaw with his finger and you won't even feel it. If you can feel it, tell him and he will turn the gas on higher. Then once you are floating in space he will give you a poke in the cheek. IT will numb your mouth sooo much! Then he will get to work! He will give you headphones and a radio that you get to hold the whole time so you can control the volume and change the station and everything. You might even fall asleep! I sure did! Before you know it, its over. There is hardly any swelling at all, so don't worry about that. Just be sure you don't bite your cheeks! They will be completely numb for about 45 minutes, but if you bite them they will hurt so bad when you get feeling back! Good Luck!
