Wisdom teeth
Hi I am 17 female and I am going to get my wisom teeth taken out in a couple weeks. They are still under the gums and they are going to have to cut open my gums in order to get them. I'm going to have laughing gas and then they will give me some shots in my gum. I just wanted to know what it was like and how much pain you felt? So if any of you have had them taken out please give me some advice on what it is like. Thank you soo much!

so my bf just got his out a while back. you will get some pain pills for the pain and will swell up alot the first 3-7 days or so its not fun a bit ok . you need to take those pain pills or you will feel the pain it could make you some what loopy and stuff. make sure not to use straws cus you can pull the blood clot from the gums where they take out the teeth and then give you a dry socked wich can hurt so so so bad so be care ful and the holes will be ther a while cus the tissue has to heal so be careful with food getting in there.the docters should ltell you most of this. but as soon as you get home sleep then if you feel any slight pain take a ppain pill it will get bad

It should not be too painful. NOS AKA laughing gas is good for making your car go faster and keeping you lightheaded and pain free. Ice cream afterwards helps too. I don't remember having any pain years ago but I remember asking for ice cream. *hint hint*

I had mine taken out a few months ago, and mine were still under the gums like yours are. To tell you the truth, the actual surgery part was awesome because I love laughing gas. I don't remember a single thing about it though. It felt so cool... my mom was trying to get me into the car and I said, "Hey, can I go do that again?"
The only inconvenient part is not being able to eat solid food. After a day or two I could choke down solid food, like a sandwich, if I tore it into pieces. Your doctor should give you some Vicodin, which is also really good stuff. I did it over a long-ish weekend and I was able to go back to school within a few days. It wasn't bad at all- I just had to eat yogurt and soup, which sucked. A big, big thing that you will have to deal with is rinsing your mouth with salt water- you don't want to get food particles stuck in there because it could make your mouth hurt really bad. They should give you a little squirty thing that will help you rinse.
A lot of people talk about the swelling and stuff, but I didn't really swell at all, and the little swelling that I did have was not noticeable and was gone by the time I went back to school. If you play an instrument, lay off of it for a week at least. I thought I was all better and then I tried to play my saxophone... Jesus, I thought I was going to die.
Anyway, other than that, getting your wisdom teeth out is not a big deal at all. The last thing I remember about the surgery part is when my doctor came into the room before they put me on anything and said, "How are you?" The rest was bliss! I love laughing gas!
So good luck!
