All four of my wisdom teeth were impacted. And I had a REALLY bad experience with a "regular filling gone awry." I'll spare you the details since you have enough to read. I will say that the sooner you have a toothache taken care of, the better off you'll be.

Good luck!

Sorry, Just kidding
Really...... when I had my done it did hurt for a day or two, but was happy I took care of it then instead of waiting for things to get worse. Do yourself a fav and get in and worked on.

You'll be back faster then if you put it off.

Well, you had the stories on pain above, now here is one about blood and gore...

My dentist refered me to a HOSPITAL, to have my wisdom teeth pulled. It was a University Teaching Hospital, so you can sort of imagine what started to unfold.

6 guys grouped around me, to take turns looking in my mouth. Then they led me into a rocket shaped cage, put my head on a ledge and told me to say still. Not long later they produced a wonderful photo of my smile earring to earring and all my teeth neatly positioned side by side about two feet wide (... well a little less). The six would be dentists came back and observed that my poor wisdom teeth had found a way under my other molers, and they needed to be extracted. They could start with one of them right away

I should have started this sad tale by telling you that I had to travel to the Hospital by train.......

The whole operation was kind of hillarious, due to the humour of those likely lads, but somewhere in their jolly, they forgot one thing. Tying the right knot on the stitchings they used to close the hole my poor tooth left in my mouth.

On the way back home, in the train, I almost choked on the blood that suddenly gushed out of the wound.

A nice trainconducter made sure there was a taxi waiting for me at the station, that took me to a hospital, where the surgeon restiched my mouth - his name was dr. FOOT (true, his partner was called dr. OWL!!!) - and he told me to come back to him, no matter what the demon dentest said, and never to go back to the Teaching Hospital again.

The other wisdom teeth were pulled in a real hospital, by proper specialists, while I was fast asleep..... so, I can't say how much fun those docters had helping me.

To make a long story short, NEVER go to a Teaching Hospital. Unless you can be sure the person doing the stiching is also a keen fisherman/woman, who makes their own flies. At least then they know how to ty a good knot.



Don't wait too long to get help, the pain is not worth it. Hugs.

Hm...thanks for the story annajon, but now I'm even more scared of going
Dr. Foot and dr Owl, lol...that's so wrong!

But uhm...I just called to make an appointment, I will let u know how it went (I hope I will have some nice story to to tell, maybe with a little less blood though)

Cheers!

Good luck.
