Wisdom teeth need pulled, have some questions?

one of my wisdom teeth are coming in and im having tons of pain and after a week i broke down and went to the dentist, he said i needed to get 3 wisdom teeth removed(i dont have a 4rth one) and im having pain on the one thats coming through now because of the top one biting down on the gums. he can pull the top one out now without putting me to sleep just to stop the pain but i will still need to go to oral surgeon to get the others removed. i cant get into the oral surgeon for 3 more weeks and thats only a consultation. it hurts bad and im freaked out about having teeth pulled. should i tough it out or go ahead and get the one removed?

Wisdom teeth need pulled, have some questions?
Get them removed. I was nervous also to get my teeth out, but once I got there I realized it wasn%26#039;t so bad. They put you to sleep but it%26#039;s not like the anesthesia you get when you have major surgery. It%26#039;s just a medicine that knocks you out, there%26#039;s no tubes down your throat. It only takes about an hour and then you get pain pills to help the aftermath. I had it done a month ago and still have holes, but it is far less painful than when those teeth were ripping into my cheeks and gums. I think you should just get it done. You%26#039;ll be very glad you did!
Reply:get it pulled. 3 weeks is a long time when a tooth hurts
Reply:get it out as soon as possible, its only going to get worse. It will also start to affect your ears for some reason. Very bad idea to wait any longer than you have too. Good Luck
Reply:Let the oral surgeon get them all now. I guarantee you have no worries in the hands of an oral surgeon. He may even put you to sleep or in twilight sleep.
Reply:Don%26#039;t wait! Get it pulled right away if you have problems. The other 2 can wait. I had mine pulled one at a time.
Reply:Call around for another oral surgeon and take the earliest appt as possible. Get IV sedation you will be fine
Reply:I didn%26#039;t think wisdom teeth removal was that bad! They give you happy gas before and pain pills afterwords. The day of the surgery the gause is gross, and you get little jelly like pods in the areas, but its not to bad.





I would rather get my wisdom teeth out 10 times then my tonsils out as an adult (That was awful)!
Reply:Tough it out, believe me you will want to be put under or sedated. I was realy scared and I am glad I went to an oral surgeon, because under the meds, I was soooo relaxed!! A specialist realy knows what he is doing and they do it quickly!!!
Reply:Get the one pulled that is hurting. Make the appointment to get the other ones removed when you can get into the oral surgeon. It probably is only the one coming through that is causing you so much pain. The others should be OK until you get into an oral surgeon. Don%26#039;t try toughing it out. The holidays are here, so get your tooth pulled and enjoy them. There is time enough for the oral surgeon after the first of the year.





Good luck to you.
