Tooth extraction

[dark pasture]

Have any of y'all gotten a wisdom tooth extraction?? What was your experience like? And how bad was the pain??? On a scale of 1-10?

[patent jetty]

It wasn’t that painful tbh because of the local anaesthesia,just uncomfortable,you’ll just feel a lot of pressure
Or at least that was the case for me

Hey

[dark pasture]

What about during the recovery period?

[strange sluice]

I had 4 extractions when I was 15

to make space for other teeth

all my meals were ice cream for 2 days

orthodontic treatments entail pain

[dark pasture]

I got mine done 2 days back

And nothing

No pain no swelling

I'm eating the ice cream we bought so it doesn't go for a waste

My friend recently had one
4 injections for anaesthesia and they still missed it
He was feeling some pain during the extraction even after anaesthesia was administered
His gums and mouth from that tooth's side swole up like hell
He wasn't allowed to eat anything too hot and spicy or cold and hard, only soft and room temp food.
Took 5-7 days for the swelling and pain to go away.
He survived on ice cream, bread/jam and curd rice.

and milk, bananas

[upper thicket]

No way

[dark pasture]

It's true

[dark pasture]

Damn but cold is recommended by doctors

[upper thicket]

Not too cold

He barely ate the whole week

How come his recovery was so... painful

[dark pasture]

Bro I don't know

[upper thicket]

there was a nerve directly under his extracted tooth

[dark pasture]

I'm bored waiting for the pain to hit

[upper thicket]

Trust me, you don't want that

[dark pasture]

Oh dam

[upper thicket]

He felt like he can never eat again 😭

What's worse, he needs to get another extraction done, probably next week

[dark pasture]

I know but it's weirding me out

[upper thicket]

Really is weird

They said that the swelling was part of the process

It means its healing

Now I'm doubting that

[dark pasture]

Nah no swelling on the day they finished the surgery it swelled up for a few minutes and then it was gone

I'm able to move my jaw without any tightness either

[upper thicket]

That can't be right

Surgical extraction takes at least a week to recover

Pain and swelling are common

Looked into it a bit

Yeah, it's possible

You got lucky ig

[dark pasture]

Ye I guess so

I should check with my doctor when go to get the stitches removed

[upper thicket]

Usually, after a week

[dark pasture]

Yep

[gusty schooner]

I had all 4 removed 💀
Terrible experience

[upper thicket]

My friend's worst nightmare

He's gonna stop after two

[dark pasture]

Congrats on being alive
