Who else do you call when the Cavity Creeps come a-knockin'?

When I was dealing with wisdom teeth I'd felt like calling an ambulance.

You actually took the painkillers? I used wet teabags and aspirin.

Yeah me too - on the top. My dentist says that it's the hardest working tooth. Mine had been broken for awhile. I might get my new tooth in gold. It's cheaper than porcelain yet has better long-term investment potential. Looks cool too.

This recent tooth-pulling was nothing. It had had a root canal previously, so there wasn't a lot there to cause pain. I took Advil a couple times. I had my wisdom teeth pulled years ago though with just a local anesthesia (Novocain). It hurt a lot. Maybe more than having babies.

The Oral surgeon gave me teabags too. Black tea bags to soak and use like gauze. The tea supposedly has some clotting property (I never ended up using them).

One tea makes you thinner and one tea makes you thick........

What the hell kind of painkillers do you get? I must be lucky since I usually get sweet, sweet Vicodin.

I think we have to talk about the adverse health effects of gluten and its links to autism first.

I bought a loaf of bread from DuPont Bakeries that has the fluoride and polio viruses baked right in.

All 4 of my wisdom teeth came in underneith the bone. The lower ones were actually both 3/4 of the way undernieth the part of the jaw that goes up to attach to the skull. Not only that, but apperently I have some sort of annoying genetic mutation that causes most of my teeth to have an extra root. really fun during root canals and wisdom teeth extraction by the way. When they took my wisdom teeth out, they literally had to break small portions of my jaw and the teeth themselves to get them out. I was literally out of action for about 2 weeks after, and all the pain killers they perscribed basically didn't even touch the pain for the first 3 days. So yeah, You suck.

Mine came out pretty easily. It wad done during Christmas break from college when I was 19. Top two were fully out, straight, normal teeth. Bottom two had tilted forward almost horizontal and impacted the next teeth. The dentist took out all four at the same time to just get it over with. I was conscious during the surgery. Two two came out without me even realizing it. Bottom two required surgery and I sat there and watched the dentist bust out the drill, drill a hole in the middle of each tooth and then proceed to break the teeth into pieces and pull them out. Doctor prescribed Tylenol 3, I took one once the local anesthetic wore off and one before the first night. But after that I didn't have to take any. Pain was a bad burning sensation the first night, and after that it was just a mild discomfort.

A couple days and I was pretty much normal other than not being able to open my mouth very far because of to sutures. By New Years I was pretty much fully recovered and eating solid foods.

Mine wasn't even that bad for that either. Had to stick to squishy foods that I didn't need my molars for, but that was only on the first day. Day 2, was good to go.
