Good luck Mike. Go in with a positive attitude and everything will work out fine.
When mine were taken out they used sodium pentathol (truth serum). I went out like a light, had no pain at all and they said I cussed up a storm while under the drug.
i had mine pulled 23 years ago for braces....
don't remember the pain being all that bad...
just remember bleeding and using tea bags to try to coagulate the blood.....
my wife had hers pulled 2 months or so ago and she felt like it was the end of the world.....
but hey your bigmike....tough it out...you'll do fine....
Praying all goes well for ya, Mike. Too late for this advice, but I do advise people to be sure and use an oral surgeon for this, not a regular dentist. Just my opinion that things usually go better that way if things get complicated.
Oh man, that sucks. My SO had his pulled a few months ago. He said the pain meds they gave him kicked butt! Especially the Motrin. He hardly touched the hydros they gave him.
The nurse gave us a little kit in a bag in the recovery room and explained everything to us, which as which prescription was for what (make sure you take ALL of the penecillin/antibiotic or whatever they give you), how to work the ice pack and what the little plastic syringe was for, as well as the can and can-nots as far as food went. There was an instruction sheet in the kit too though.
(The nurse was so nice she even gave me directions on how to get back onto the main highway since the directions we got offline got us lost on the way there.)
Like the others said, just take it easy for a day or two. Have some jello and ice cream waiting for you when you get home.
I'm getting 3 wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow morning. This is going to suck
Mike I would run like crazy, but ur wife will give u extra tender loving care. U can use this for days and be waiting on hand and foot... U got see the bright side.
It all went well.....nothing like pain free dentistry
Thanks for all your thoughts and advice, brings a smile to my face
Did I mention it hurts right now to smile. but it's worth it
Tonight the strong pain meds, have a feeling i'm going to sleep like a baby
