Been giving me grief for a few weeks now. Dentist doesn't want to take it out cause it's barely through the gum and he probably thinks i'll twit him if he hurts me. Been referred to have it done under sedation, but it takes 9-12 weeks to get a consultation appointment, then god knows how long after that. to go private they want lots of money which i don't want to pay!
I can't wait that long. it's at the stage where i can't open my mouth fully and the tooth is biting the inside of my face/gum if i try and eat normally. Although i could do with losing some weight, this is not the answer!
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Drink whiskey. Especially by holding it on the bad part it desensitises the mouth and lets you sleep etc. Much better than pain killers and it also makes you happy...

oralgel to numb the pain

used those to pull out two of my wisdom teeth, both on one side, bleeds for a while, just use cotton wool and bite down hard, stops after a while, then some paracetamol

been there and got a very painful t-shirt
2 impacted WT, 1 growing sideways and 1 which was infected.
Had all 4 out at the same time under anaesthetic, took the surgeon 1.5 hours and his foot on the side of the table to remove one of them
doors and bits of string aren't really the answer, have you seen the roots on those bad boys??! :grin:
dentists, dental surgeons and an appropriate amount of analgesia are. try oil of cloves as it is well known to relieve toothache.
oh.. and once you've had them removed you really won't be able to eat properly at all (soft foods only)... I looked like a hamster for two weeks and felt and looked very bruised..

Iv got 1 coming through! I go through fazes! When im in agony i just eat alot. As the pusing on the tooth actually feels quite nice :/
Worce things ever! N i hate the dentist!
-
well i have been blessed with good teeth so far. i have only ever had 1 filling and i'm 30. Never had a tooth pulled before let alone a wisom tooth.
i'm aware it'll hurt like a bastard afterwards but if i did have it done at the dentist under general anaesthetic will i feel much pain? my pain threshold is quite high as i'm constantly burning myself and doing stupid things like trapping my arm between a tyre and the wheel arch on a mk3 :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Different things work for different people. Strong black tea carries loads of anti oxidants which numb the pain, clove oil is good although it tastes like poop. Bi carbonate of soda also works. I have an impacted wisdom tooth and have already had a upper wisdom tooth out last year and it wasn't painful at all. Although I did spent the night prior wide awake worrying about it so the minute I lay down on that dentist chair with that big light shining in my face i was ready to fall asleep. Nicest tooth i've ever had out. Basically keeping your mouth clean as possible is always a good start, a good alchohol based mouth wash is a must. The sort of pain you have will be like a pressure pain and sore to the touch which is quite difficult to dull down. Pain killers with anti-inflammatory properties may help a bit.
-
it's more the pain whilst having it out. i'm aware that afterwards i'm gonna feel it
-
my sister had hers out, she said for a few days it was a little painfull but she said she would rather have that pain for a few days and no more wisdom tooth.
-
Mine came through when I was 14, plenty of space in there :smiley:

Ditto. Had all four out at once and 2 were impacted and had to be smashed up to be removed!
I had a very, very swollen face! The pain was fairly bad (but nothing paracetamol + ibuprofen didn't manage to mute to an acceptable level), the most annoying thing was the inability to eat anything not soft and the continual taste of rotting blood in your mouth!
Because they had to cut my gum open to remove the impacted teeth, they also stitched the inside of my cheek to my gum (intentionally), which took months to properly get used to.
--
I normally have sedation dental work (even for the trivial stuff), but I got referred to the hospital for the wisdom teeth and it did take about 3 months from referral to removal.

it'll hurt more having them in than having them out :)

Although, the feeling of your bite continually adjusting over the next year is most disconcerting!

Ahh the good old wisdom tooth! I think i will need all 4 out too! I had one taken out, a few injections to the face and then a big pull whilst i looked up! Worst thing was the sound.. :sick:
Been meaning to get myself booked in to get the other one taken out, then i'll need an X-ray but i have to pay for it.. £190 i think it totals too :cry:
-
so who's had a wisdom tooth out that was complicated to remove and under general anaesthetic? and did it hurt? :grin:

Mine wasn't complicated and it didn't hurt. Was just very, very strange! :grin:
-
5 out got knocked out for it one had to be re used that rotted the original moler total cost 2K
(private companys money)
I would shop around and find a cheaper dentist its criminal what they charged I had one crown done £500! plus tablets and consultation I think it ended up being about £800 with root canal! :embarassed:

Thanks f**k I live in Wales and got a NHS dentist :cool:

Mine was under general anaesthetic in hospital, took about 1.5 hours in total.
But I certainly didn't pay for it, wisdom tooth removal is free under the NHS in England ...

Had mine out under local and drove home afterwards :grin:
To expensive to put you under in London, cant believe the noises, crunches and brute force applied to get them out.
The Dentist and the Nurse were big women and bloody strong, the Nurse sat behind and held my head with added ear cushions :cool:
The dentist did some chopping with a scalpel and brutalised my mouth with her knee on my chest at at times :grin:
I felt nothing until about 3 hours after when the throbbing started, right as rain after about three days but still a bit bruised and sore around the stitches :smiley:

Can i ask was that a lower or upper as I have had an upper wisdom out and it was a breeze, still to get the lower out though. :sick:

Top ones were a doddle, lowers were really stuck in and impacted but came out intact I still have them in a jar :grin:
I think because your jaw moves under load it makes it harder to get a good purchase on the tooth.
It was a brutal experience on my lowers but I did not feel anything until after, loads of nurofen plus took care of the rest

Great stuff...just what i wanted to hear :sick: My top one was out in 5 mins and all i felt was a bit of pressure. But lay awake the previous night worrying so but the time I got there in the morning, fully loaded with pain killers, lay in that comfy chair with a big light in your face and a lovely dental nurse leaning over me it was quite a pleasurable experience to be honest :laugh:. No doubt my next visit will be like a scene out a Saw movie!!

My misses Dentists has a video screen in the light and play you the sound via head phones :cool:
She has had £12k worth of implants :lipsrsealed:
Its not that bad really, they fill your gums full of Novocaine or whatever so you don't feel it.
Mine was done in the hospital as my dentist was a pussy, it was also free.
Its an experience and you get a day or two off work

Im off to have a top one extracted in a couple of hours,had to come home early from work as it was killing me,it feels like the whole side of my face has been wacked :evil: ,pain killers not touching it,the only thing that is easing it is a particular toothpaste,one quick brush and i get about 30mins relief then repeat,cant wait :sad:

I feel for you as there is nothing worse than toothache.
A couple of months back I had a crown fitted. Two weeks later I got a horrendous toothache which started on a Friday evening and progressively got worse. Pain killers wouldn't touch it. When I went to bed on the Saturday night I literally did not sleep a wink as the pain was unbearable. Sunday morning I called out an emergency dentist as I couldn't stand it any longer. It turned out to be an infection under the new crown therefore the dentist put me straight on a course of antibiotics. Fortunately these started to kick along with the pain killers that night. I ended up having to have a root filling through the new crown which was wasn't the cheapest experience either! :sick: Toothache sucks! :angry:
-
Also anyone with a tooth infection loading up on around 2000mg of vitiamin C a day is good as it works as a natural anti biotic. Bi carbonate of soda and salt swab on the gum next to the tooth is equally amazing at dealing with the pain as it draws the infection to the surface thus relieving the pain caused by the pressure of the white blood cells that the body uses to bombard the infection.
-
YEAH! its out, had four injections,thats the worst bit,thank god for that,life back to normal :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
-
Now just pray that you don't get a dry socket now the extraction has taken place as I swear it was a good two weeks of the most excruciating pain ive ever encountered in my life, so much i ended up over medicating and hospitalising myself for 2 days.
What ever you do, DO NOT SMOKE AFTER A WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION FOR AT LEAST 24 HRS! MASSIVE FAIL!!!
-
Good luck, I've had all my wisdom teeth out, one impacted done under general. The recovery was long and painful. I also developed a problem with the corresponding ear which made me constantly dizzy and nauseous.
There were times I found myself wishing I hadn't had it taken out but now so glad that I did!
Uppers are nothing compared to lowers though.

If your lucky Your dentist will be...

just had the little fatherless son out. had a local anaesthetic in the end. it's just wearing off now and the pain is kicking in. waiting for the grumpy bear within to rear his head and then i'm gonna kick the granny out of something in frustration :grin:
worst bit was when they use a flat bladed screwdriver to lever it away from the other tooth. she had a bit of grief getting the grips on it as it was barely through. barely felt the injections.
-
nice lol,i was awake when they took 2 of mine out ,,bottom 1 think took him bout 40 mins to get out literally kneeling on the bed next to me and i could feel it with the pain relief grrrr,top one easy as ,bout 5 mins lol,but touch wood no problems since
-
barely felt the injections.
lucky you, last time i had injections in my mouth i thought he was using a bloody samuria sword
-
i have heard the bottom ones are right bastards but luckily mine was a top one. my bottom wisdom teeth are through and not giving me problems so fingers crossed. This was the first tooth i've ever had removed and i'm 30 now so doing ok i think. no other problems other than this.
just waiting for the pain (although i've taken 3 paracetamol and 3 ibuprofen :evil:). if it's not too bad i might go for a game of snooker lol
-
Dont mess with Gas in pain mate :lipsrsealed:
You find concentration and paitence goes right out of the window when in pain :tongue:
I've had five out in one go and a transplant the fifth one grew out of the roof under the pallet :lipsrsealed: :evil:

When I had my first lower wisdom tooth out i was sent for sedated treatment for some unknown reason which is usually only for nervous patients which i'm not. they gave me a combination of Morphine and ketamine which absolutely spazzed me out proper. Apparently i was cracking the dental surgeons up and completely embracing and enjoying the experience. :smiley:
