careful, when you get knocked out at dentist office and wake up with a sore bung hole, it is not part of the procedure...

Yea, and I was the Dr office today for an Xray, and old ladies where hitting on me... Old I mean 50-60 year olds.. WTF... One felt my arms, shoulder, then back... I was like.. 'Excuse me'

[jojo2002]

^yup and they charge your insurance extra for that....

ask for lots of vicodin and pain killers... I was put to sleep had 3 removed was stupid for a couple hours than next day morning bam... the pain kicked in was about for about 3-4 days from gym cus i was on meds...

hit that old shit up....j/k.. I had wisdom teeth pulled when I was 19, man I was hurting for weeks... I have seen others back next day without a problem... you are just going to have to play it by ear.

[damiongage]

knocked out....wait at least a day or two...I had all done at once with just novacaine....went to work the same day.....I am lucky I guess

[dirtball_619]

i got all 4 of mine taken out. they gave me a little concoction drink that tasted kinda like alcohol. i kept saying i dont feel anything over and over and they just kept giving me more.
then the lauphing gas..... kept saying more more more and they gave me more more more.

i was awake but really fvcked up lauphing my ass off as they pried those shitz outta my mouth. cussing like a sailor and hitting on the nurse.... she said i tried to grab her boob but i think she made that up. she was bangin though!

[_CrossroadS_]

Had all four out. Knocked me out, but I woke up towards the end of the surgery. They put me back under. I woke up, came to, they tried to help me stand up, and I puked everywhere. I don't remember any of this, it was told to me after. A friend drove me home. I took the next day off from work and gym. Gave me good painkillers, and I was back at it two days later...I was lucky I guess.

you probably won't need to be out of work or out of the gym. but you might be able to swing a day out of work, but i had 4 cut out and i was fine. learn to love gauze.

[kman]

IMO I would opt NOT to be put under. My neighbor is a dentist and says they are more gentle with you when you are awake. I could def see a dentist being more aggressive when a patient is passed out. You can't say that hurt or slow down and take your time bud!!!Also he knows your watching him, so he might not want to make a mistake!!!! Good luck either way, it is painful, but some people are fine..

[football2007]

got all 4 taken out. Got put under.

Was out for about 4-5 days.

Don't sleep in a declined position..I did and swallowed an asston of blood..fukin was gross

Make sure for the first 2-3 days to be really creative with ur shakes thats all u can eat/drink

[solid-d]

I dont really know what to expect.. Just hope I can get alot of sleep. And hope my girl takes care of me

my dentist just gave a shot and pulled it out within a minute. it went real quick and was painless. at first it feels a lil awkward cuz the tooth isnt there anymore but u'll be fine. mine bled for like 3 days. i hated that part

[majorpecs]

I had all 4 taken out about a month ago. The put me under, 1 hour later I woke up and was pretty stupid for about an hour. The next morning I was back in action, didn't miss any gym or work time at all. And I got a free bottle of vicodin.

wisdom teeth out, biggest scam in dentistry. They tell me every 6 monthes when I go to the dentist I need to have those bad boys out asap. I say no thankyou, they don't hurt.

I agree, I still have all of mine. Only time they need to be pulled are when they are crushing the teeth around them .

You can train the same day as long as your not put out, (you really dont need to be). You can train the same day, you just have to keep the gauze in, otherwise you'll suck the clots out and get dry socket...then you'll be in some pain....but still able to lift. And finish your antibiotics...the last thing you want is an infection in your mouth....worst pain I have ever felt.

[bigtwin]

im 23 and got mine out in october, it sucked man, i got them out on a friday and was minimal lifting on monday, cant lift heavy cause of the stitches. try not to take the pain meds they give you. but complete recovery is about a week i would say. its been 5 months thou and i still have small holes on my lower jaw where the teeth were.

you only feel this way because yours are not impacted...mine used to hurt on and off and just thought they were coming in and would be done

i had one of mine get impacted and the gum line around the tooth swelled up and wrapped over my tooth. i was chewing some food and realized that it was still soft when i bit down after i swallowed. i knew it was time to make an appointment

took out the 1 problem tooth 1 visit and 3 other ones the next visit...bleeding for awhile then back in the gym within 2-3 days

[admirals56]

i didnt use any gause just the one they gave me anicially. i got novicane and lau***ng gas and was fine right after went home and my mom made me milkshakes all day. my teeth killed for a good 3 days

[CrazyNYer]

I had all 4 of mine taken out and they were impacted. It def sucked big time.

[solid-d]
