Had your Wisdom Teeth out?

Well Saturday right before the Hurricane (in FL) I had mine taken out. They actually took out three and left the other in there because it was under the gum and not causing any problems etc. I thought they would put me completely under, but they didn't, wtf? Also, I wanted my teeth but they wouldn't give them to me. They were lucky that I was sedated, or I would have snatched them and bitch-slapped everyone in the room, even the other patients and possibly myself (I wouldn't have felt it, I was numb). Ok, sorry I'm kind of getting silly and carried away...

Anyhow it really wasn't bad at all. I had a headache afterwards and that was the only time I felt crappy. They gave me a perscription for Vicatin err Hydrocodone which is somewhat the same I think and Penicillin. I go to the drug store and they say it might be till Monday... I open my bloody mouth and tell him that just won't do in a matter of words. That was enough and it seems he took me seriously, maybe he thought I might get pissed and spit it all over him? What the hell was he thinking anyway? It's right before a hurricane meaning that people might possibly not be able to get their meds until god knows when and they freakin want to say it might be monday (if they're even open, luckily though it turned and we are fine here where I am 30 miles north of Orlando approx, lucky me, no power loss this time).

Anyhow, pain hasn't been too bad. I was taking Motrin that I had left over for a while, hoping that I could sell these others and make some cash back towards my dental work but I haven't gotten any leads, so I started taking them... actually both seem to do pretty much the same. I was expecting something a little more like muscle relaxers (took them after a car accident in high school, was pretty funny when I took one at night and one in the morning, not realizing that it was a very short night and only a few hours apart, ha). I'm not a druggie and am not going to take more than necessary, but it's sometimes funny when you're supposed to be taking something and it makes you kind of screwy... as you may have figured now I am already feeling a little screwy, but I don't think its the drugs, I'm just in a screwy mood.

Umm, I guess I don't have anything meaningful to say. It was fun calling everyone on the phone afterwards when I could hardly speak and all. Oh, and I have some lovely pics that I took with my camera phone. The blood in the sink makes a nice phone wallpaper, ha. Anyone nasty enough to want to see my bloody grin?

Well, time to go take some more pennicillin (do you like pennicillin on your pizza [name that movie]).

I was knocked out when I had mine removed. All four. Three of them were still under the gumline. They didn't let me keep them, or ask if I wanted to keep them. I figured that they were probably in pieces.

My girlfriend had all four taken out, two were still under the gumline. They let her keep them, they were inside a plastic baggy along with some other stuff they gave her. They're friggin' huge!

I had all four my wisdom teeth taken out a while back. Two of them they had to cut into my jawbone to remove, the other two were just below the gumline. I don't recall keeping the teeth, but I'm sure they would have if I'd asked.

A checkup at the dentist showed only one of my wisdom teeth to be in a "trouble" position i.e. oriented horizontally. But I haven't done it yet.

Penicillin. A cure for penis silliness?

The one really weird thing is that since they were removed, I can now move my jaw a little further to one side... it feels pretty strange because I can feel my jaw muscle push into where the wisdom tooth on the top right used to be. Then if I move the other way, my jaw can't move as far, and I can actually feel exactly where my other wisdom tooth is... very weird!

BTW, they said they were going to take out all four, and then decided to take out only the three. They of course took money beforehand... what do you think they're going to do about that? You think they'd automatically give me the money back since I paid with CC? They seemed to be in a rush to get me out of there even though I was completely coherent and got up and walked out all by myself with no prob (even though they made my friend go get the car for me). Anyhow I want my freakin $60 extra back (I asked before how much less it would be if they didn't take that one out).

BTW, it was like $240 to take all four out including one under the gumline with insurance covering the other 80%. How does that sound to you guys? I kinda wich I spent it on tires so I could put my nicer rims back on instead but oh well...

I remember them using some kind of excuse with the words 'biohazardous waste' in there...

...man I must have been lucky to survive if I had something so damn toxic in my mouth for the last 20 years! I mean I knew they were rotted a bit but geez!!

BTW, can someone clear this up... is Hydrocodone and Vicatin (sp?) the same thing exactly (generic vs brand name) or what? And they are 5/500... what exactly does that mean, and is that not very strong?

Haha I got the happy gas too, man was that fun. In between them wrenching my teeth out I sang the christmas carols on the radio . I'm now a legend at that office.

Vicodin is very similar to Hydrocodone, IIRC. I think the 5/500 is the bitartrate(sp?) to acetaminophen(sp?) content.

I had all 4 out and just had my jaw frozen. I was fine in 2 days. They let me keep them but I think I threw them away after a few weeks or something.

I didn't get gas, they stuck and IV in me. I didn't like it it made me sick to my stomach. I didn't realize that I wasn't supposed to eat after midnight the night before (uh oh, just like in gremlins!) so I made myself throw up before going in... it was a good thing because I probably would have thrown up at that point. That really was the one unpleasant part.

The first of the two things... is that the part that people use to get wasted by drinking it with alcohol? The other part is just like asprin or something, right?

Hmm... still can't think of what that word is... Ha, it makes sense now!

Vicodin is very similar to Hydrocodone, IIRC. I think the 5/500 is the bitartrate(sp?) to acetaminophen(sp?) content.

You're close. Hydrocodone bitartrate, an opiate similar to codeine, is one of the two active ingredients in Vicodin; the other is acetaminophen, the generic form of Tylenol. It's 5 mg of hydrocodone bitartrate, and 500 mg of acetaminophen. If you take two extra-strength Tylenol, that's 1000 mg, so Vicodin 5/500 has the same amount as a single extra-strength Tylenol.

It's just as well, though. Taking too much acetaminophen at once can cause severe liver damage, so definitely don't take any Tylenol at the same time as you are taking Vicodin, and definitely don't drink any alcohol while using either drug, as both alcohol and acetaminophen are processed by the liver, and taking them together could cause you to need a liver transplant if you're really unlucky.

Also, I had all four of my wisdom teeth out at the same time with only local anesthetic, and they let me keep them. I don't think I even had to ask. They gave them to me in a very tiny envelope. I was surprised how big they were.

I still have them around, been a few years now, and they are pretty disquesting in the bag, like stuff is growing on them.

I'm going to go back and whoop some ass. I didn't hardly even get a glance. If I could have just taken a pic with my phone that would have prob been enough!

They had to chip two of mine out, but I've got the other two.
And how many wisdom tooth threads do we need? It seems like there's one every week now.

You weird mofos wanted to keep your disgusting teeth?

My oral surgeon did say that I asked to keep mine when I was drugged (I don't remember anything except that I regain my consciousness in a different chair later without my wisdom teeth).
