I had a dream about some psychotic doctor who performed detrimental things on my teeth!!! So I ran out of there and snuck into my neighbors home. I think it's because I was pondering about my teeth yesterday since I'm getting braces AGAIN AND also taking out my wisdom teeth.. all 4!!
Has anyone taken out their wisdom teeth??? How was the procedure like? I requested the doctor to put me to sleep.

wisdom teeth arent a big deal, as long as they numb u up. one place told me i had to wait for the oral surgeon who comes around once a month. i was there at 7 in the morning so i could still go to work. he was an hour and a half late and they never told me he wasnt even there. needless to say i got pissed and left. a week later i stopped into an office that an ex had worked at and they took me right away and the girl who took them out was one year out of dental school. if they cant pull them out, they just break them up with plier like things and suck out the debris. if theres roots further in they just make a slice on your gum and pull it out. it sounds bad but its really simple.
Well I'm getting it out around this weekend..wish me luck.
only in your dreams, james
and thanks everyone, and no I didn't get it out yet..(thank god).. but I know for sure it's this week or the next.

Well, just remember to stay relaxed as much as possible, it will speed up your healing time.
I was so incredibly nervous when I went in to have my teeth pulled, because I had never been put under any anaesthetic (sp??) before, and they were going to knock me completely out. So when the assistant or whoever was getting me ready, gave me my silly little hospital hat and everything, and put whatever heart monitor thing on me, it was funny because it wasn't a normal heartbeat pace, it was literally like..."beepbeepbeepbeepbeep". She smiled and said, "no one's ever died from this, don't worry. lol. I was quite relieved to hear that.
It's so strange, being put under like that, I remember the oral surgeon and his assistants all around me looking down on me and he said, "have a nice nap..." very comfortingly, and I was still nervous but I all of a sudden felt this very weird burning sensation all over, not painful just weird, and I distinctly remember the feeling of having *no control*, seconds before I blacked out. And then it seemed like two seconds had passed even though it was a couple hours, and I was awake. Incredibly weird.

I feel nauseus. My cheeks are friggin bloated x 2 and I look like a chipmunk but not as cute.
Excruciating pains occured because my brother forgot to stop by at the drug store.
But now I'm ok. Sorta.

Yes and I'm doing allllllll better now. The swelling has come down tremendously and I'm starting to look more like me instead of a blowfish.
