Teeth! :(

Have any of you had your wisdom teeth taken out? Dentist man did an x ray and all 4 of mine are impacted so got to have them removed under GA! What's recovery like? Am I going to have to blend my food for a week?! Lol!

I dont have any Rach so wouldnt know   

You have no teeth?!

I had one taken out but just by normal extraction, sorry Hun x

  Rach I spat my drink out then! no wisdom teeth lol!

Sorry couldn't resist   

Have to go through the same soon hun - couple of posts about it - bricking it as I hate the dentist even under a GA xX

Lmao!! I was going to say I'm sure you had teeth in the photos I've seen.. Thought they might be really good dentures haha!! Sorry!!

Argh Saz that sounds even worse!! I remember having some removed when I was younger and I dribbled everywhere

Aw Janey! Do you have a date through yet? We will go through this together! United lol!

It was ok, had been in so much pain from it was relief to have it taken out!

No putting mine off - I have them filled and the fillings fallen out so had really bad tooth ache - the pain went so I haven't made an appointment and accidentally on purpose missed my check up

Absolutely petrified Xx

You are skating on very thin ice Mr     

Aw Janey! My sister had 2 of hers out a few months back and she's really scared of teeth too! She said she healed really quickly and it was a lot better than she though! Know that probably doesn't help with a phobia though.. They may be able to give you something to keep you calm! Sure there are lots of people with the same thing! Xx

I had two take out via normal extraction at the same time and was eating normally by evening - wasn't painful x

Never have had mine either   

I've got mine but not had a problem with them xx hope your ok rach xx

Thanks Rach - going into hospital and will be put under - absolutely no way I could have it done in a chair - a check ups bad enough! Its the only thing I am total wimp over...... x

Had all 4 done at once and the recovery was pretty quick

I have only ever had one taken out and my dentist did it, very good dentist who has since left  

After one day it was fine, I never felt a thing just a bit of a sore gum once the anaesthetic had worn off. Thankfully my x rays showed that all the roots are straight on the other wisdom teeth I have left so could easily have them taken out by another dentist when needed.

It isn't that bad. Had all 4 taken. Just think about the milkshakes/smoothies as consolation prizes. Pretty normal after a few days.
