Author: I just had my wisdom teeth removed today.
I must say that I recommend nitrous to anyone considering having this procedure. It’s much like being drunk, instantly, and without a hangover. Very nice.
The top two represent my former wisdom teeth.
So far, no real pain. My lower lip and chin feels like a dead slab of meat, which makes drinking and eating hilarious. Bleeding is slowing down.
The biggest complaint I have is the whole ice pack thing: 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, FOR 24 HOURS. Crap.
Other than that, I haven’t touched the pain pills. Yet.

I think my wisdom teeth are like the horizontal and partial eruption, combined.
When I had mine removed they injected me with “Happy Juice” and it seemed like about 10 seconds later I woke up and mumbled “Are you done already” except it was like I had about 10 marshmellows in my mouth. Then I fell asleep in the Pharmacy and drooled blood on myself.
good old military took mine out and all they did as numb me, worst crack and popping and sawing noises i have ever heard
When I was around 7 yo one of my teeth was growing in the wrong place, so the dentist decided to pluck out a pre-molar so it’d grow into the right spot. This caused chaos in my mouth as the other teeth moved into the new hole.
I then had to remove the remaining pre-molars to balance out the damage. Which caused even more chaos as it shrunk my dental arc.
I had to wear braces for 6 years, and had two or three more years to go, when I just gave up on treatment.
On the good side, that meant there was plenty of room for my wisdom teeth and I didn’t have to extract them.
