Going to get my wisdom teeth out.

[LittleChickenLady]

I've never had any tooth problems either, and I have pretty straight teeth as well.
Mine just started hurting really bad, so I was told they needed to go.
Two were cut out, because one was growing into the next tooth, while the other was going into my jaw.
The other one was just pulled because it was in enough for them to.

You probably should have them out to be honest.



ETA: Sorry, I was at work so that was a crappy response.

You should probably get them out anyways because even if they're not bothering you now there's a good chance that they'll bother you later and it'll be worse.
If yours aren't breaking out of the gum, they're probably impacted, which can cause problems with the teeth around it.

I definitely am glad I got them out, but I hated getting them out. :lol
I can finally eat real food though. I just have to chew very carefully.

And they don't grow back!

I wish I had seen this thread earlier so I could have reassured you too. I had all four wisdom teeth out PLUS my tonsils at the same time when I was 23. I took the percocet but it didnt do a thing, I apparently have a very high tolerance to pain meds. Since they werent doing anything I didnt take them. I also wasnt in a lot of pain to begin with, so it wasnt a big deal. I do not have a high pain tolerance so I'm pretty sure I wasnt just being tough! I was at a dinnr party three days later, just avoided crackers and stuck to olives and stuffed mushrooms!
Glad it sounds like you survived okay!

Ok Little Chicken Lady you inspired me to hurry up and get mine done. went to dentixt at 9:30 this moring and got them done!

I'm at home resting confortable now and on very little pain meds because I'm a Amazon according to my DH.
I didnt have meds at my sons birth either, wasn't in much pain and ready to push, I gave into the epidural though because I freaked my self out.

Oh well I had a frostie and now am looking forward to something more substantial soon,

THanks again you really did give me the courage to stop procrastenating and get um out!

Yay! That's so exciting!

I hope you're still doing good tomorrow.
I was in more pain the second day than I was after I got them done.

It's been two weeks, as of tomorrow, and I can eat anything now as long as it doesn't require me to open my mouth really wide.

I told my boyfriend they messed up my jaw.
He says that my muscles are just still sore.

Keep me updated on how you're doing.
