Getting 4 wisdom teeth pulled...will it hurt?

Im getting all four wisdom teeth pulled at once. Apparently they have cavities which is why my dentist wants to do it since they havent caused me any discomfort. They are all showing out of the gums, but Im wondering how much it will hurt. He is going to give me local anesthesia and laughing gas. Has anyone had them pulled this way before? is the pressure and popping noise unbearable? Thats what I am most worried about!

the pain is something you would not believe pal
Reply:You shouldn't feel anything while they are being taken out. You may be sore afterwards %26amp; may need to take some pain meds. It can take some people a while to heal. The dentist can recommend something or give you a script.
Reply:There wont be popping noice. It will not be a pleasure, however it will not be too painful with local anesthesia. I got them pulled out without laughing gas, only with local, however not all at once.


It is quite common to get them pulled, so I would not be too much concerned. It is hard to fix them, and since you have cavities, it is better to do it now then to wait for pain.
Reply:yup it hurts so bad, its like haveing a million knives stabbed in your mouth, the pain is so bad u wanna die!!!!
Reply:I have had mine removed. It's not the most plesent thing and it does hurt after the anastetic wears off! Don't worry after a few days it will be fine.
Reply:haha... oh man, have fun with that


im sure you'll get paint medication... but dangggg, when i got mine pulled out it hurt like anythingggg! deffinetly after the pain medication wears off =p





Good luck m8!!!
Reply:I agree with Blue (very strongly) that you shouldn't need any anesthesia before the procedure. I had an impacted one removed, plus 3 others that were up and out, but decayed, like yours, and there was no need for anesthesia or laughing gas. I did get a script for tylenol with codiene, which I used for the impacted one, but not the others. It's not fun, but hardly unbearablel.
Reply:Everyone that I know, myself included, has been put to sleep before removal of their wisdom teeth. When this is the case you simply wake up an hour later with some numbness. Everyone is different, you may have some pain, or you may be like me who never had to touch my pain meds. I would recomend asking if you could be put under. Its a little more expensive, but much easier then being awake I would expect. Ask you doctor what's right for you.
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth taken out all at once, but I decided to get put under for it.


Being somewhat of a weenie when it comes to getting my teeth touched, I really didn't want to chance it.


It's your own decision which way to go, but if your dentist gives you local anesthesia and laughing gas, you won't feel any pain. You will, however feel pressure and hear the noises.


Now the laughing gas will make it all feel like it's happening in a haze - as if everything is only happening on the periphery of your conscience. Imagine a sensation you should be feeling with your whole body, but you're really just feeling it at the outer tips of your fingers. It's the best comparison I have.


If you want to block out the noises, I'd recommend a couple of good tunes on your mp3 player and a set of noise-reducing ear phones.


I had a root planing done with laughing gas - it's a pretty nasty procedure. The laughing gas helped to make it perfectly bearable. It didn't really bother me at all.





One thing I'd talk to your dentist about however:


Usually, you're not supposed to get local anesthesia for all four teeth at the same time. The shots for your lower jaw will also numb your tongue, so dentists usually do one side at a time to avoid the danger of you biting your tongue or accidentally choking on it.





Make sure you discuss your options with him. There are plenty of dental clinics that will be able to do the procedure by putting you under and pulling the teeth while you sleep.


I've had it done that way and went home afterwards just two hours after I woke up.


Your dentist may not recommend this simply because he isn't equipped to do the procedure like this and doesn't want to lose you as a patient.
