Poll of the Day > I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

all 4 of them

I'm actually a little upset, because I finally got a weekend job and I'm supposed start on Saturday
The dentist told me I'll be ok as long as I take some pain medicine but literally everyone else told me I won't be ok

What do you guys think? Will I be ok? I already shaved my glorious beard because it was a requirement :(

Yeah I heard about it
it's simply just not true
First off, the website pulled the story from "Inside sources" which means they pulled it out of their own ass
every site after that cited the same shitty ass unreliable site which has a history of just being plane wrong. Secondly, this almost 15 years ago, the girl basically said "Yeah he totally said mean things to me"
You people are acting like he's some sort of criminal mastermind well he isn't. This poor man's career is ruined thanks to some assholes
And no I'm not going to change the gif in my sig I still love it

Denial isn't only a river in Egypt

Youll likely have moments of soreness. I wouldnt wanna work the following day if there is much physical activity or talking involved. Also, there is a chance of a dry socket developing, which can be very painful. Its very easily treatable, but you cant get it treated if youre at work.

Also, what kind of job?

C'mon man, he didn't even do anything. All he did was say some harmless words with no real action behind them 14 freaking years ago
It just goes to show you how people can get crucified over something with no evidence behind it
Oh yeah and he didn't get suspended, he was fired over this stupid bullshit
They never even declared if he was guilty or not

Nothing special, just a job at my local Wendy's
because it's my first day I'll only be there for about 5 hours

The whole internet is going after Dan Schneider, but to be fair, he is a creepy pedophile, especially if you look what happened in his shows, and yet he still got away with it, until very soon due to /pol/ trying to meme this into a (well deserved) scandal.

That has nothing to do with anything.
Dan can do whatever the fuck he wants
Chris, however, is innocent. Mark my goddamn words he'll turn up innocent.

Seriously. He has a creepy pedo-foot fetish that crops in in every single show he made. Even on his Twitter account where he asked young girls to post pictures of their feet.

He is absolutely disgusting, and should be in prison.

"You'll be fine as long as you take some pain medication" after I got my wisdom teeth out was how I became addicted to opiates.

Just saying.
---

How long does the medication last?
---

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out as well, about 2 months ago.

Make sure you take proper care so you won't get dry sockets.

I got those and it was just THE WORST.

OH MY GOD. I literally couldn't sleep some nights because there was so much throbbing pain in my mouth.

Not even the opiate level pain meds helped that much.
---

It's always a good day when ico starts judging sexual predators.

I only did 2 at a time. No pain afterwards. Like my dad didnt fill the painkiller prescriptions the first time because he didnt want me to get addicted and i was worried i would be crying in pain, but i didnt really feel anything once the lidocaine wore off from the surgery

The second time i went by myself and filled the prescriptions myself and got the painkillers, but i didnt need them

I was given Vicoden at the time (before they started adding Tylenol to it so you can't take as much). My prescription was literally "take as needed", 2 refills of 50 pills but I ended up getting more.

My doctor was an old man that either didn't know better or didn't care and I was too young to realize the danger. Also I was in high school and would do pretty much anything to get high.

Yeah dan sucks, but Chris is innocent and didn't deserve to get fired.

One of my teeth has cavaties so I'm gotta get that fixed.
The best thing about this is that I don't have to pay for anything.
Long story short, it's because I have a diagnosis for Aspergers.

I hope that made sense. If not; I'm so sorry : (

I'm fixing one of my teeth soon. I dunno what it's called in English but here where I live we call them 'holes'.

I believe they're called cavities in English
Good luck

Yeah I thought of that word but I wasn't sure if that meant something else or not. Oh well. I guess I could edit my previous post then.

But yeah, free shit is nice as fuck.

When I had mine removed, I could have gone back to work immediately, but I think I had a unusually good time. As a bonus, I hallucinated afterward, it was a fantastic time. I hope you hallucinate too.

My wife and sister both struggled after having theirs removed. My sister missed our grandmas funeral because of it. But, aside from the after effects of the anesthesia, I was feeling fine. Do you have to talk a lot at your job? It might be tough if there is swelling.

I had my wisdom teeth removed last year. You absolutely will not be fine by Saturday. It's going to hurt a ton for a couple of days, and you'll be sore for at least a week.

Are you being put unconscious? Most people are, but it's not necessary. I saved like 400 dollars by staying awake. I was numbed up just fine and it only took like 45 minutes. Are you being prescribed opiates after? Also not really needed. As long as you take care to not get dry socket afterward, you should be able to just endure pain for a couple of days and then ibuprofen will dull it enough to be tolerable afterward. It's much safer.

Yeah, I was rolling my eyes like crazy when I heard him criticizing perverts and pedophiles when he did what he did with Claudia after 3 fucking days.

Gtfo out of here with your hypocritical nonsense @TheWorstPoster

Btw, I got my wisdom teeth removed at 17. One part of the procedure (I think the bottom left tooth?) hurt like hell, but the others came out really easily.

I was in a lot of pain after the fact on the first day after the numbing agents wore off, but I was fine the next morning without any problem. I was even eating crunchy food (very carefully) too.

So it's not all bad.

ok thanks
it's just that I could really use the money, I feel kinda' bad not coming in on my first day :(

A blood clot will form over the bone when the tooth is removed. If you don't disturb the clot, you'll be okay. They will give you a little squirty thing that'll shoot water into your empty sockets so you can clean the area gently. Don't chew stuff there or bother it with things that aren't gentle, and don't suck too hard on anything. You could disturb and dislodge that blood clot.

If you do, it'll expose your bone directly. That's apparently horrifyingly painful, lasts several days to weeks, and no amount of medicine dulls the pain. That's what I've been told anyway. I didn't get dry socket.

I'm back

it was so surreal... I just kept focusing on the really nice dentist lady telling me things and next thing I know I'm in a wheel chair wondering what happened..

My tounge and bottom lip is numb
I could barely eat my ice cream
taking it easy the rest of the day

I didn't get a water gun lie you mentioned, I completely forgot to ask
I'm so worried
---

I have a water pick from when I had braces, is that ok?

it might work, ask your dentist if its okay to use. at your own risk.
---

Keep us updated on your progress. Hoping for the best!

Also, did you go under? If so, any hallucinations?
---

I had my 3 wisdom teeth pulled (for some reason I only had 3) and the procedure itself is not bad at all. Its what comes after. Your gums will be very sore for a few days, and I would suggest not eating solid food. Jello will be really good.

You'll be fine only working 5 hours at an easy job like that. Good luck!
---

Ok yeah, feeling some tingling now
I feel so nauseous, I wanna lay down but I'mvstill bleeding

RekamOiram posted...

no hallucinations, I just kept my eyes on the dentist lady, vaguely felt a needle in my arm, and blacked out. next thing I know I'm being helped into a wheelchair
---

Could've saved a bunch of money by staying awake. Even with insurance paying for half of it, I personally saved several hundred by not paying for a shitty nap.

Anyway a water pick is what I think the squirty thing is called. Does it look like a syringe with a curved spout?

SushiSquid posted...

There's different pics but yes, basically
---

It's so weird when you're put under. Awake one moment then awake and confused the next.

A water pick might be ok if you can use it at a lower pressure. When I had my wisdom teeth out (when I was 12, 18 years ago) they gave me a syringe with a curved tip to rinse the socket area. I didn't get dry sockets. My gums still have noticeable scarring.

You probably aren't going to feel up to doing work tomorrow. While you could do it, pay attention to your body and don't push yourself. Keep in mind your going to feel fucked up from anesthesia for a while, you lost blood, and dental surgery can be physically traumatic. More than that you may not be able to eat as normal and won't have the same energy.
---

I had another bowl of ice cream and more medicine
I'll call back and ask about the water pick
Tongue's regaining conciousness
pain's kicking jn
not good :(
---

Was the nice dentist lady hot?
---

My chin is back, my lip's gone down, and my tongue is back tomorrow
I'm no longer spitting blood frequently so that's a good sign
but I'm starting to feel more nauseus and the medicine isn't helping
I wanna lay down and go to sleep so bad but I can't thanks to the mouth gauzes
How long does it take for the teeth holes to close so I can' stop doing this
I've been pacing with a towel under my head because it helps clearing my head
Video games (3ds) aren't helping
All in all if I just take some medicine I think I should be fine for tomorrow

She was a cute young milf, so to speak
She was very sweet and engaging, totally helped with everything
---

Oh my God, I just read that I was never supposed to spit out any blood, and I was supposed to keep the guazes in place for about 1-2 hours

Dammit, will I be ok?
---

I left gauze in for like a day. You need it there to help the blood clot form. I spit plenty of blood out though.

You'll probably be fine. It's going to hurt really badly for several days. If that picks up dramatically and becomes mind-shattering, then you'll know you got dry socket. But likely you'll be fine.

I still don't understand how to prevent dry sockets or how to treat them :(

Basically what SushiSquid already said.

Don't suck on anything during the first few weeks, since that creates negative pressure in your mouth and might dislodge the blood clot.

Also, don't drink or eat anything too hot, since that might also dissolve the blood clot. (This is where I fucked up. I had hot soup for dinner like a day after the surgery. Little did I know, I was melting the blood clot. 2 days later, I woke up to HORRIBLE pain in my mouth).

Basically, don't do anything that might irritate or agitate the site too much.

If you DO get dry sockets, inform your dentist/oral surgeon IMMEDIATELY.

Pain meds WON'T be enough to deal with it (trust me). And there isn't really anything the dentist can do to treat it, they can just dull the pain for a few hours.

For that they'll give you a special clove oil based ointment that you have to apply to the site. It basically numbs ALL feeling in that area for a few hours. It also tastes nasty and is caustic enough to put blisters on your tongue if you apply too much.

SO yeah, better to be super careful and take proper care.
