Wisdom teeth removal

[Rosebudteg]

My teenage son got his wisdom teeth removed this morning. Sucks to be him.

But last week I was talking to some coworkers about it and there was a wild story.

To preface this story my coworker said his mother was a single mom of four boys, so she did the best she could.

He said that he was not knocked out for it, but he said that he miserable. He said that night his mother went to McDonald’s and bought everyone dinner. He got a quarter pounder and his mother threw it into the blender.

I asked if he ate it and he said he took a spoonful and it was so awful that he didn’t eat any more of it.

My story was rather routine. Hurt for a week or so and had to be really gentle eating. But otherwise nothing remarkable.

Anyone else have a wild wisdom teeth removal story I can share with my son?

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at one time/visit by the oral surgeon when I was 16-17 y/o. He numbed me up pretty good but was not asleep by any means, and kept the meds coming since the roots for all 4 wisdom teeth were wrapped around my jaw bones (for lack of a better term and that's how he described). It took longer than he thought it would since a root tip broke off on 3 out of the 4, so he had to go "fishing" for the small broken tips to avoid infections, etc. The one tooth that did not break off a tip was the hardest to remove he said.

No pain meds for the aftermath, he told me to stop and get a 6 pack or 2, and don't drive after I started the pain prevention process. LOL. Mom was a bit upset with the oral surgeon for his "pain meds", especially when I got home with the beer.

Had all 4 removed in the early 80's. Watching the local news the next morning, saw my oral surgeon being led out of his office in handcuffs by
the US Marshall's Office. Time of his arrest was about 30 minutes after my surgery. He was charged with murder for hire of Sam Garrison, who defended Nixon during the impeachment hearings.

I had all 4 removed in 2020 when I was 45 years old. For years my dentists had lied saying they fit...only for me to wake up one day in pain. Xray showed they did not fit.

Fast forward to surgery and I came to with the surgeon/dentist chick kneeling on my chest with I guess a long chisel wailing on my tooth. My jaw and mouth were really swollen so it was hard to get in there I think, but either way they either calculated the sleepy stuff wrong, or it took longer than they thought. Needless to say I was pissed.

It took them a few mins to realize I was awake. One of the helpers looked over and noticed and whispered it to the surgeon. I couldn't move out of fear of her sending that thing through my cheek or jawbone. Once they finished and took me to the recovery room I was cussing them out and calling them sadists. My mouth was full of gauze so it probably did not come out clearly, but I could see the look of panic in their eyes. I got a ride home and did my recovery then went and fought to get money back I was charged to put me under. They took a whole $150 off the $600 that my insurance didn't cover. It took them 120 days to credit me. Needless to say I have found a new dentist.

I got my last one in when I was 16. Fast forward a few years and I had to go see/in-process with an Army dentist who was rumored to take everyones wisdom teeth. I put it off for a couple months, until Top called me into his office and made me go!

Here I sit, 40 years later, and I still have all 4 of them. I just got home from having a different one pulled.

Had right side removed in my early 20s. Asked if they planned to knock me out. "Nope. Have make sure you feel it.". I'm getting out of the chair when he laughs and explains he had to break the lower tooth (growing sideways) into several pieces asI would need to confirm I "felt" it. Never have understood why. Wasn't a painful procedure, just the usual discomfort. The pain kicked in several hours later and lasted several days.

Fortunately, the left side were straight forward extractions.

Had 4 removed by the tribal dentist when I was a teenager, i was awake the whole time. Pretty routine.

Tell him sometimes it turns you gay.

Works best just when he’s coming out of anesthesia.

Dicksmack left a piece of the root in my gum. It worked its way out slowly and I had to make a follow up appointment when it stared poking from my gum

Did I mention the dentist was a fucktard

Thanks to a lot of Dr's and dentists over prescribing oxy's for anything including a hangnail, dentists no longer can prescribe pain meds, not even Tylenol 3. Fucked over the rest of us who have legitimate issues. I have a 70 year old neck injury that has had me in level 6-7 pain since I was 5 years old. I have to almost fight the fuckers for 14 pills per month, about half what I should get. Fuck the DEA.While I'm at it, Fuck ATF.

Only had the top ones done as they were the only ones interfering with anything. Was awake, but had a valium the night before, the morning of, then gas the whole time. Made it only that day on liquid diet, ate a whopper meal the next day, fries and all, and a large shake. Stitches bugged me the most, as they dissolved they would dangle down and drive you crazy.

He has a wisdom tooth story…

All four removed when I was in my early 20s. Novocaine and Nitrous Oxide. Surgeon and his large breasted mid 20s nurse. When I came to, he asked me why I was smiling so much- it was because I was staring at those boobs as I went under- only about 6 inches from my face!

Had all 4 taken out when I was late teens. Gassed and was out. No problems and was eating regular food the next day.

Just had to use the water pick to get food out of the craters for a while, but otherwise no big deal at all

The medicine they give you said alcohol may intensify the effect.

So coors light and the now wife made mash potatoes to go with hare chicken strips.

Good times.
