(37,332 posts)I had mine removed 30 years ago. It was supposed to be two appointments. But the Dentist did all four at once. When I came to, he told me. They bundled me into a taxi with a prescription for heavy painkillers. The pharmacist would not fill it because I was obviously stoned. The taxi driver saved the day when he shouted, "The guy just had 4 wisdom teeth pulled out!" I got the pills in a jiffy....

(7,661 posts)Good thing for the cabbie LMAO! The problem is that I stopped taking pain medications for my neck and lower back problems five weeks ago, so I'm going to try to hold out. Reminds of the Airplane, I picked the wrong week.....

I had Thanksgiving dinner as a liquid, after running turkey and mashed potatos through a blender. It was a good smoothie, tasted like bean&bacon soup.
I was given a choice on the number. I picked "all four", so I wouldn't have to go back.

(73,631 posts)Only three, because when I was younger one fell out and the other teeth just moved over.
The most painful thing about it was the needle they stuck in my hand. When I woke up, it was all done. They handed me a bag of drugs and sent me on my way. Wifey drove me the half a block distance to our unit. During recovery there were no complications at all.
A few days later I was eating doner kebab in Luxembourg City. And I never even needed the Percocet that they gave me.
Military dentists, baby! The best of the best!

(3,598 posts)I hope you don't have too much pain, and recover quickly. Good to get rid of rotten teeth, though. I second the ice-pack idea, and maybe alternate with hot compress, for comfort.

(7,661 posts)no pills and ate some tomato soup and some pasta last night. It seems I may of become used to pain after all the years. Oh gosh I've been zombify!
