My Wisdom Teeth Surgery Experience

Tweet

So yesterday at age twenty-five, I finally gave in and had my wisdom teeth taken out. this comes after hearing dentists for several years suggest I do so. What finally made me give in was this previous Friday I went to a dentist and found out that the wisdom tooth on my lower right side (which had come in impacted and at an angle) had caused the tooth next to it to form a cavity. Apparently the way it was angled caused food to get trapped and whatnot. More importantly, the cavity was getting close to the nerve and my dentist couldn't fill it due to the wisdom tooth. So my choices were having my wisdom teeth out or the very good possibility of having to have a root canal. It turns out I had nothing to be nervous about. My oral surgeon used the IV sedation where one of the side effects is partial to full memory loss. I can remember the IV being put in and the table lowering back. Suddenly I'm looking at the surgeon working on my lower left wisdom tooth and then bam!...it's all over with all four of my wisdom teeth gone. At this point, a morning after, the bleeding has stopped but my lower right jaw is still sore. But that's normal I suppose. So here's my question. Anyone here still have theirs? How was it for you when you had yours out, if you've had them out yet.
